A SAD CASE OF DRowNING.-A brief
announcement was made several days
since of the accidental drowning, near
Augusta, Georgia. of Mr.. L. A. Max
well and Miss Coriune Dunwoody. The
couple constituted portion of n fishing
party from Augusta to Burch's mill
pond, a few miles distant. The party
had been fishing some time when Miss
Dunwoody noticed n boat fastened to
the bank and expressed n desire to go
out upon the water. Mr.. Maxwell adj
vised her TO wait until he could test the
boat and ascertain whether or not it was
safe. After trying it. thinking there
was no danger, he pushed off the batteau
and he and Miss Dunwoody padded out
together upon the pond. They were
sitting in the rear end of the boat, when
the forward end struck q stump or end
of tree beneath the water. and tie
young lady was thrown in the water
backward. Mortified at the accident,
MIR. Maxwell went to her assistance
Leaning over the boat he caught hold
OF his companion to pull her out Of Tie
water, when the batteau upset, and he
too, fell into the pond. lie was an ex-
cellcnt swimmer, and could have easily
escaped to the shore had he thought OF
himself alone. He wished to save the
young girl who was then struggling in
the waves. lie swan TO her and at
tempted to support her to the bank
He swan with her for fully fifteen feet,
but it is supposed that her fright caused
her to obStruct the motion of his limbs.
and soon they both sank together never
to rise in life again. Another boat was
obtained by the gentlemen on shore,
who had witnessed the sad affair, and
the lifeless forms were recovered. Miss

TRIBUTE TO A CLARKsBUR0 MACHIN-
IsT.-On last Thursday week. Mr.. Ira
Hart received n letter referring directly
to large commission house in Zizen-
hansen. Germany, asking him to furnish
estimates for saw mill machinery for sale
in that locality. The letter made ingui-
~ concerning prices and gave full spe-
cifcations for construction, excepting
wood work, which they say they can con-
struct in Germany at n much less cost
than the freight. Mr.. Hart is preparing
photographs OF his machinery. which he
will send to the firm, etc. To receive
such al inquiry is quite feather in Mr..
Hart cap. and from what we hear of his
mechanical skill and genius. we are con.
fident that he can give full satisfaction
20 his European customers. Mr.. Hart
is now working only on very limited
force in his foundry, there being but n
bout twenty hands. The outlook for
the summer trade is very good however,
aud if he secures the order from Europe
Ctert- sI,tro, will eocr, bp alive with tho
hum Of his Machinery Telegraph
