TuE Drowning OF THE REV. DR.. PoRTEOCS

The DRowS1SG OF THE REV. DR.. PoRTEoCs
AND Mr.. BESJAMIS.-G Glen C0Ue. l.. l., Sep
tembpr 29.-Ou Tuesday evening, about D
O'Clock, the Rev. DR.. Porteous, the noted
English divine. who has for some time re.
sided at Sea Cliff, was out sailing with party
consisting of Mr.. Berjlmn e. well.known
Glen Cove rlumber), MIR. koop, aud three
children of the latter. When about midway
between the Sea Cliff and Glen Cove Ind
nes the boat by some means vas capsZed,
and all were precipitated into The waller.
Mr.. Hoop (wno was, fortunately, good
swimmer succeeded in reaching bis children
ard placing them upon tn. bouts bolton,
but he found it impossible TO save either DIR.
PoIteous or Mr.. Benjamin, and both were
drowned. Their bodies were soon after re-
covered. and the coroner'S jury found that
the drowning was accidental. DR.. Polttoas
preached. in Boston on Sunday las5. and, it
is understood, had made arrangements TO
preach there again next Sunday.
The Tribune says OF DR.. PorteouS:
"Thc news Of the death of the Rev. DR..
PorteouS by drowning off Glen Cove brings
more than the ual shock Of sudden death.
DR.. PortCouS was nan of SUCH rigor and
vitality, as well a. talent, that his ecclesiasti
cal contests kept him prominently batore the
public, while bis hearty sympathies often
made friends Of bis opponents. The acct
dent will draw attention to the carelessness
with which the proprie'ors at Watering
places entrust 10 Incompetent care the sail
boats that take out pleasure parties"
A later telegram 10 the Baltimore Sun says
