On Sunday evening last occurred one
of the saddest and most distressing GGci-
dents that it has ever been our duty to
record-the death, by drowing, of John
Sullivan The deceased, with two friends,
were boat riding in Pearl river; and a short
distance above the Yieks5urg and Meridian
Railroad bridge while in almost the mid
die of the stream. their frail boat encoun~ i
tered the swift current, became unmanage-
able and was swept under. Two of the par
" reached the shore, but John Sullivan
found q grave amid the waters. The river {
at this point is very wide. aud wheu'swolen, |
as at present. the current is strong and al
most irresistible, and that all did not meet
the same fate is little short mystery
The deceased was young man
just entering the portal which separates !
youth from manhood. Possessed of high and !
enenobling qualities of heart and mind, |
he was loved by large circle of devoted
friends, and was the cherished idol of his /
now strickea family. As yet all attempts /
to recover the body have been unsuccessful.
