AuDuIH, IN. l., DulletlI.
1t Is on record that upon a chilly April
day, few years ago, an eight year old
boy fell into the East river at the foot of
East Eighth Street, New York, and when
all efforts to rescue him had failed, Ed
ward Donnelly, at risk Of his own life,
plunged into the water and, when himself
nearly exhausted, saved the boy from
drowning. 1t was humane and self
sacrificing deed and received deserved

that made mention Of 1t. Edward Don
nelly was then resident Of New York
City, but his wife was Amanda Grammar
Of Auburn and sister, Mrs, Samuel ID.
Cory of No. II Moravia St., which gave
local interest to the incident. All this
was some time ago, and both 1t and Mr.
Donnelly have passed out of the mind Of
your correspondent until few days ago,
while in Saratoga, he was shown letter
to friend from which he was permitted
to make the following extract.
