Three Vessels Ashore Within AlcOni
County.

From Harrisvic Review.
A strong southeast gale has been
blowing off Lake Huron since yester.
day afternoon, and this morning the
schooner Col. Hathaway Capt. Wood
/ ruff, loaded with lumber, and the scow
IGaribaldi, Capt. Reward, loaded with
tan bark, went ashore near the South
Harrisville dock. The former is going
to pieces badly, but the latter will
probably escape with the loss of jib-
boom, bow-sprit and rudder, which
Iwere carried away early this morning.
The scow Mollie which cleared this
port yesterday afternoon with cargo
of shingles, is ashore below Greenbush,
and will hardly escape destruction.
Shingles, are scattered all along the
beach.
The barge Northern Light which
sunk in the Colwell harbor here about
IA year ago, had all broken to pieces
this morning, and fragments of the
wreck were coming ashore.

Early Closing.

AS has already been mentioned in
the columns of the ARGUS, there is a
movement on foot to effect an early
closing of the stores in this city, and to
that end there was meeting of the
business men, at the court room, ON
Friday evening last, for the purpose of
taking the matter into consideration,
and to effect, if possible, a system
throughout the city of closing the stores
and business houses at an earlier hour
than is at present carried on. The
meeting was well attended by the bust
ness men, and the general expression
was much in favor of the early closing
plan. A committee was appointed for
the purpose of drafting the necessary
papers of agreement for the signatures
|of the merchants, with the intention of
doing all that they may do in proper
manner, and after some discussion the
meeting adjourned till Thursday even
ling, Sept. %.
We have on different occasions taken
the liberty to refer to the fact that our
merchants were in the habit of keeping
their stores open in the evening until al
very late hour, much to the detriment|
of the health of both merchant and
employees, and we can see but one meth
od to be adopted to bring about cor
rect state of affairs in this respect, and
that is for the business men to form AMI
association for their own mutual bene-|
fit, fix time for the closing of stores
in the evening, and let all abide the|
decision of the majority.
AT present there seems to be diff
ference in the opinions of some as til
the hour of closing, but if all will look
ut the matter in the correct light, they|
will at once see that the time Of clos
ing the stores in the evening will make
no difference in the amount of sales, if
they all close at the same hour. There
must be just so much goods of all |
classes consumed by the people, aud id
matters but very little how long the
stores keep open at night, if they all |
remain open, as to the quantity of goods
sold. If the merchants will each and
every one close their establishments at
seven O'Clock in the evening, except
Saturdays, the people will soon become
10 consider it as one of the best plans
ever adopted by the business men,
There will be no excuse then for a mani
at any store till late hour,
he clerks and merchants could have am
evening at home occasionally, and there
would be much more rest and pleasurcl
or all, while at the same time the BUSH
hess of each individual merchant would
,e just as great, for the simple reason
hat he would do the same amount oil
business that he does now i'm less(
number of hours per day.

Sad Accident.

The world is full of sad happening
and every day the press of the coun
try is teeming with accounts of acct
Idents and mishaps in various parts o.
the country, Of which the world a
large pays but little attention, bu
when one of these sad occurrences i
brought home to our very doors, i
sends a chill and Il shudder Throughout
the frame Of every man, woman anC
and child in the vicinity. So it is, anC
$50 it ever Will be.
The fatal accident which we are now
called upon to chronicle, occurred on
Saturday afternoon last, ut Misery
Point. 1t seems that VIM. Pulford
his little seven-year old son Samuel
his son-in-law Herman Kramer, and a
hired man named VIM. Hawkins, had
taken skiff and gone down the shore
from the residence Of Mr.. Pulford tC
Misery Point, a distance Of about three
miles, and while returning in the after
noon Kramer left the boat and propos
fed to walk back on the shore. They
had hoisted a small sail, and had pro.
|ceeded but short distance from the
point, when Mr.. Hawkins, who was
standing in the bow of the boat, lost
his balance, and as he went over he
grasped the mast of the little craft, the
boat was at once overturned, and all
three were struggling in the cold waters
of Lake Huron, some half mile from
shore. Mr.. Kramer, who was upon
the shore, was unable to swim, and
could render no aid, and they were,
three miles from any house, battling
with the fierce waves. The two men
placed the little boy Oh the bottom of
the boat, and tried with all their power
to propell their frail and waterlogged
craft toward the shore. Poor little
Sammy was several times washed off
the boat by the huge waves, but he did
not become discouraged, and felt con-
fident that they would reach land|
Kramer endeavored to construct raft
on the beach, in order to 90 to the as
sistance Of the distressed, but as fast as
he got two pieces Of timbertogether they
would be broken up again and thrown
upon the shore. He tried every means
within his reach to rescue the nearly
drowned party, but all attempts proved
Iruitless, until the boat had reached al
point near enough to shore so that he|
could, by wading in the water chin
leep, reach them a long pole, with
which he lowed them ashore but thew
had been in the water now about three
hours, and little Sammy, who was al i
ways frail child, had lost the last
spark of life, having chilled to death !
even while being held in the arms of
Mr.. Hawkins, who had climbed on the
boat for the purpose Of holding the
boy.
Both Mr. Pulford and Mr.. Hawkins
we're nearly exhausted when they
reached the shore, and it was with
much difficulty that the latter could
be induced to walk at all, he was sol
thoroughly chilled through.
The tired, sick, and grief stricken
party arrived at the residence of Mr.
Pulford after dark and could only
return to the heart-broken mother,
the lifeless form of the dear little
boy she had babe good bye not twelve
hours before.
The funeral took place from their
home on Monday afternoon, Rev. J. A.
Mock of this city officiating, and was
attended by large circle of friends
and acquaintance.
