The most distressing accident that il has been
our duty to chronicle for many a day was the
drowlng of BURTON KING HARD on Wednesday
last in the Illinois river 1t appears that the
youth in company with Others Of lis age had
crossed the river in boa; to the sand island just
below the old brewery, where the river, on the
south side approaches the rock. Tins is quite
/ faNorite place for swimming; the bottom is good,
the water comparatively shallow, except perhaps
in the narrow channel where the accident oc
cured, and the surroundings attractive. On the
south side Of the stream in the rocks is cave,
the resort Of the swimmers. On this occasion,
therefore, the boys had been swimming to and
from the caYe some length Of time In attempt.
| ing to cross the narrow channel toward the cave
Burton went down. Having been swimming for
some time, and not beD., by any means accom-
plished in the art, the superstition is he became
exhausted and sinking slightly took in water
enough to strangle him, hence his struggles be-
fore lie went down, his companions taking theis
alarm by seeing him struggling and hearing him
cry 20 them The older and more experienced
swimmers of the party when his actual condition
was appreciated started 10 his assistance, but
had their attention drawn from him by young
Phil Clark, who, at the time Burton's position
was discovered had started toward him, but who
once in deep water became exhausted or lost his
presence of mind through the excitement Of the
moment. The boys perceiring Phil sinking
went to him and managed TO land him safely.
By that time, however poor Burton had some 10
the bottom. The alarm was Immediately carried
to the city and a company Of men in boats re-
paired to the scene, but as II was not till after

ERIE CANAI.--In consequence OF the severe
railroad competition last year, the New orK
state authorities reduced the tolls last spring
to so low a figure as barely to yield enough to
keep the canal in order; and the result is that
it is doubtful whether even that amount Will
be realized. Tie World says:
The revenue receipts at the canal auditors
Office for The month Of June were SlOO,943.4o
as against S207, 27G01 last year. The total
receipts for this year up TO date have been
1857, "a, as against S3SG, 1900 received
during the same period last year. II the de
ticlency for the rest Of the season proves rs
great as It has thus far, the revenue Will be
insufficient TO meet the estimate made by the
canal authorities for repairs during the com
ing year. and the canal must be allowed &c
de,erioratc since one Of the late constitution
al amendments prohibits an expenditure IL
any one year for ordinary and extraordinary
repairs, collections, etc, in excess OF the rev
enue OF the previous season
The West could afford to keep the Erie
Canal in repair at its own expense rather thar
allow il to deteriorate, and thus lose il as the
