Dreadful Accident.
New Westminster tB. c.) Guardian.

| New Westminster tB. G. Guardian.
On Saturday last, the young girls,
pupils of st. AIMS school, went out,
accompanied by several of the good
sisters of st. Ann, on a picnic party to
the farm of Mr.. George Black, in the
vicinity of the Coquitlam river. The
day was beautiful, and the children en-
joyed themselves with all the gladstone
mirth of childhood. Miss. Black en-
tered into their Juvenile amusements
with the happy sportiveness of early
womanhood, and accompanied num-
b.r OF them to the margin Of the river.
1t would appear that they were per-
mitted to bathe their feet, but did not
undress. The water just now, howey-
sr, is very high and swift; Miss Ward,
one of the young ladies, had yentured
too far, and sank in deep water; Miss
Black, in attempting to save Miss
Ward, went down, and never emerged
alive. The alarm having been given,
Mr.. Joseph Wise, who happened TO be
within hearing, plunged into the river
and rescued Miss Ward, but was com
pslled to seek assistance to recover the
body of Miss Black, who was unhap-
PLY beyond the reach of human efforts.
The distress Of every one present is
beyond description; the remains were
Immediately brought to this city and
kindly cared for by the Sisters, who
did everything possible to tighten the
terrible blow. Information was at
once dispatched to the bereaved par
ents, who were quickly beside the bier
of their beloved child. She was, in
deed, beautiful creature,
"Fair, fair, with golden hair"
just blooming into womanheod, and en-
deared to everyone by her frank, happy
disposition, as much as by her sweet
face and graceful person. The scene
in the Convent parlor, where the body
was laid in shroud, was very sad
the child's father and mother, the Sis
ters, and the school children, standing
round in the awful presence of death
it was pitiful. Mr.. Black bore his sor-
row like Christian gentleman, and
tried to console the Sisters. The grief
of her parents is too sacred for discus
sien here. We need hardly say that
no blame is attached to any one; it was
one of those accidents entirely beyond
human foresight or ordinary precau-
tiOns. The funeral took place on Mon
day last from the convent, the process
sion attending to Holy Trinity Church,
where the burial service was impress
sively read by the Rev, Mr.. Sheldon,
assisted by Rev. Mr.. Ditcham. The
procession then proceeded to the Ma
sonic cemetery, where the remains were
inferred. The grief Of all present
would have impressed stranger with
the belief that they were all relatives.
The parents, who are greatly respected
have the sympany of all.

While we think that the persons who
make such remarks will find on occa-
sion that our water works and fire lad

which may arise, we know that it is an
aggravation to the thirsty (for water)
citizen to pass the quiet hydrants and
know that refreshing stream is strug-
Cling to escape only few feet away.

DRAINAGE.-Thef fact that Rosebura
remains healthy during this heated and

industry and enterprise in the matter
of sewerage, but simply goes to show
that the healthy conditions ef our sec

the exhalations arising from sinking
back yards and cutters. While we can
shut our eyes in certain localities and
know exactly where we are by the out
ragged sense of smell, and still live, ii
might occur to enc verssd in sanitary
laws that such things cannot last for
ever, but the time will come under ex.
isting regulations when we may smell
