We learn from the Independent that
on Tuesday afternoon Of last week, Mr..
Nathaniel T. Rittenhouse, aged about SO
years and for many years resident of
Frenchtown, was drowned In Worman's
mill dam. At about l o'clock, in company
with grandson, lie went up the creek on
a fishing trip with small scoop net.
The water in q part OF the pond Is prob
ably eight feet deep, and the bottom be-
ing very uneven, it is probable that he
suddenly found that he was beyond his
depth, and being unable to swim, was not
able to extricate himself, and the boy was
unable TO render him any assistance.
The boy gave the alarm, and Mr.. W. W.
Thatcher, who was working in field
some distance away, came to his assist
ance and soon brought the body out to the
shore but the spark OF life had fled.
