 l Miss Bertha Hay, nearly eighteen years of age, daughter of James B. Hay, was on Thursday last drowned in Chrystal lake. She was at work in Kenyonville in Wood stock, and in company with some young l girls went to the lake as she had previously done for the purpose of bathing. She was a 1 good swimmer, and the manner of her
 drowning is mysterious. Remaining under
 water longer than the other girls expected they called to her, and receiving no answer | called to some men not far off, who, on reaching her, found the water only three and a half feet deep, her feet on the bottom, her head under water, which was only six | inches above her back She was in the wa ter about half an hour, and though all means at hands were applied her life could not be restored. The funeral was held in the church | at Ashford, and the attendance was quite 1 large.
