and diving for the unfortunate lad, but of
no avail, until about an hour after the boy
had sunk, when be was brought to the sur
face by means of graphing pole, and i'm.
mediately brought to shore, but it was too
late, the last spark of life having fed This
should be sad lesson to the small boys to
keep away from the pond. The bereaved

NO MORE.
No more shall we see thy smiling face
As we did in days gone by;
You've gone to rest in Earth's cold breast
And tears have dmmed our eye.
You bore n true and manly heart,
As true as ever born
But Death, alas has pierced it pangs
And from your loved was torn
No more will you grasp the bride
of that mighty iron steed,
And say BECOME undaunted mass
As 1t fys with lightning speed.
You sought the life of a hero,
So died heros death;
With throttle in hand, AS an engineer stands
As he faces the Graves cold breath
No more will you seize the whistle
To give the warning sound
As you're flying by with wearied mind
Causing earth to tremble and bound.
Twas in last month-a blooming one
June the twenty-third.
You called your comrades to their post,
But alas. it was not heard.
You saw your last sun rise and sink
And with it bravely fell;
So may you body rest in peace,
Your soul with the sun there dwell;
And hope that on our judgment day
We all will meet once more
The ones we love of friends of truth,
Upon that blissful shore.

BARNETT NOTES.

sent time. Your correspondent feels
that it would be easier to give it all
in a general aspect and sutn it up in
this way:
Lumber, lumberer, numbering.
The amount of timber to 60 out of
the Clarion this spring is considerable,
and just now rafting and running is
the one great topic of thought and
speech and motive of action.
To-day the Clarion is at least three
feet above a running stage, and as a
consequence no one is running.
During the earlier part of the week
a number of RATS started on the high
water AS a result there has been
considerable stoviug.
Rafting in is about completed and
if the creek should keep up long
enough the Clarion will be cleared of
lumber on this the first water
From report it would seem that the
casualties are greater within the last
week on the creek than ever before.
A young mar named Steele, school
teacher, who lives near Roseville, was
drowned above the Clarion bridge on
Tuesday of this week. In attempt
ing to dip his oar it was caught by
swirl and threw him of the raft.
1t is also reported that Wash. Gal
braith, well known to many of your
readers, fell of the raft he was running
on Wednesday, at the Fish Dam Rocks,
and was drowned. The report how
ever, lacks confirmation
At Portland on Tuesday evening
late, two mep whose names we did not
learn, wanting to cross the creek were
unable to find any one to ferry them
over They took skif and started
adross the creek themselves. This
was the last known Of them. The
skiff was found next day at Beech Bot
tom, and it is supposed that the skitf
was carried over the dam, upset, and
the men drowned.
One day this week man, name
+ unknown, at Elk Greek, had his leg
{ broken by its being struck by an oar
: stem.
g William Newell, working on Hat
= chinson's job at Gravel Lick, was
e killed by rolling timber pile which
passed over him.
! A number of the good people Of
Clarington, among whom are Joseph
! Hof, Philo Williams, and James Wall
y lace Sr., have purchased lots with the
: intention of building theron soon.
e Joe. has his house up, aud Philo is
