The Drowning Of q Family.

A heartrending and distressing accident
occurred yesterday. In the afternoon, Mr..
Lane, with his wife and two children, went
on the ice in the river at Lanesville TO enjoy
himself. He improvised hand sleigh
and a large box, into which he placed his
wife and children. Two handles extended
from the rear of the sleigh, with winch Mr.
Lane showed the sleigh on the ice. They
were having delightful time. The ice near
the shore was about three inches thick. The
river was open in the channel, and the ice
near the open water was OF course much
thinner. Mr.. Lane, unfortunately, ventured
too near the open water. He felt the ice
giving way, but before he could retrace bis
steps it broke through, engulfing in the
stream the wife, the children, and the ia
ther-all in a moment were launched into
eternity. The
was heard by party of woodchoppers on an
adjacent island, who saw the catastrophe.
They hastened to the rescue, but were I'M
able to arrive in time to be Of service. Lane
and his family were under the ice, their
dead bodies probably floating down the river.
1t was sad to contemplate, and the bronzed
faces of the hardy woodchoppers were moist
ened with tears they could not control. They
went to the station and gave the alarm, and
then proceeded TO Lanes cabin. They found
the door unlocked. Inside bright fire
cracked in the stove. The SILVER. bright
tin teakettle was singing for the return of
the unfortunate family. The cat and dog
were nestled under the stove awaiting the
return of the two children who petted them.
Everything about the house indicated hap
piness and neatness. The people of the sta
ton at once organized to recover the bodies
but up to the time Mr.. Hickey passed the
station they had not been found. Mr.. Lane
was ticket agent at the station, and Is spoken
of as man of industrious and frugal habits
and a man who thought all the world of his
little family.

Hung ON False Confessien.

In the year 1900 two men named Perry
and their mother were hanged for the murder
of 4 man who had never been murdered at
all. Mr.. Harrison, Lady CampdeD's steward,
having been collecting his rents, suddenly
disappeared. John Perry accused his
mother, himself and brother of havlng
robbed Mr.. HARRISON in the previous year
and of having robbed MIN sud murdered
HIM on the night when he wEs missed. The
mother and Richard Perry denied all knowl-
edge Of the matter, but at length pleaded
guilty to the first Indictment. under some
pressure of policy. The other indictment
was not then proceeded with, on the ground
that the body was not found. But John per-
sisted in his story, and at the next assizes
they were all tried for murder. John then
re.racsed his confession, and said he must
have been mad. Nevertheless they were all
condemned. Some years after Mr.. Harrison
appeared alive. and thus accounted for his
mysterious absence: After receiving his
rents he had been set upon by gang of
ruffiaus, carried to the seaside, put on ship
board and sold as . slave to the Turks. At
ter his masters death he escaped. and, With
great difficulty working his way first to Lis

A sLUMBER SONG.
BY CELIA THAxTER.

Thou little child, with tender, clinging arms,
Drop thy sweet head, my darling, down and
rest
Upon my shoulder, rest with all thy charms;
Be soothed and comforted, be loved and
blessed,
Against thy silken, honey -colored hair
lean q loving cheek, a mild caress;
Close, close gather thee, and kiss thy fair
White eyel1ds, sleep SO softly doth Cypress.
Dear little face, that lies in calm content
Within the xracious hollow that God made
In every human shoulder, where He meant
Some tired head for comfort should be laid
Most like . Seavy folded rose thou art,
In summer air repOsing, WARM and still,
Dream thy sweet dreams upon my quiet heart,
watch Thy slum Der; naught shall do thee Ill.
