SAD Acc1DENr.-On Friday morning last ,
Miss Lizzie Phillb.ick, who was for some
years teacher in our public schools, and
who was widely and favorably known in our
co immunity, was drowned at tho homo of her
parents, about one mile this side of Water
vile. The circumstances as We have hear
them are as follows: Miss Philbrick, who
has been at home about month, was accus-
toned to rise carly in tho morning and get
tho breakfast without awakening her mother !,
with whom she slept. On the fatal morning
she arose about half past five, and her
mother, who was AXE, heard her filing the
reservoir upon tho stove with water from the
cistern. After she had emptied two pals
full all sound from the kitchen ceased. Mrs.
Philbrick dressed herself, and on entering

her that her daughter had fallen in, and
rushing to the chamber door, she called to
her son, who had not yet risen, to hasten
down immediately: She ran and procured
q pole into which she drove nail, and on
plunging it into the cistern, the nail caught
the clothing Of Lizzie, who was lying on tho
bottom, and brought her to the surface. The
son had now arrived, and the Mortified twain
managed to get the body from tho eistern
and at once set to work with restoratives.
Although, according to Mrs. Philbrick's be-
lief, only about fifteen minutes elapsed be-
tween the fall into the water and tho recovery
of the body, their efforts 1T resuscitstion
were futile. DR.. Case came from Wsterville
with . galvanic battery, which was tried
without avail.
Miss Philbrick was in poor health, and
had been subject to attacks of vertigo, and
