Mrs. Craigie, the English novelist,

pectedly good character. First. we are
as a class, deeply but not obtrusively
religious; next, we have general desire
to succeed on individual merit; third, we
are whole-hearted. generous and pa
triotic; and lastly comes this remark

heard during my recent visit one woman

The body of boy brought up from
the bottom of the canal at Raven Rock
two or three weeks ago, by the mud dig
ger, has in all probability been identified.
1t appears that on Sunday, March 10,
1896, boy was drowned at Cochecton,
Sullivan Co., N. Y, under the following
circumstances, as reported by local
paper:
zone OF The saddest accidents it has
ever been our duty to chronicle occurred
on the river here last Sunday evening.
Shortly after 8 o'clock Harold and Clyde
Mitchell, the youngest sons OF John
Mitchell, who lives just opposite this viii
lage, ran down on the ice TO play. Clyde
the Older wac In the lead, and his brother
was playfully chasing him. They were
directly in the sleigh track which has
been travelled for weeks by teams in
crossing the river, when suddenly the ice
gave way and Clyde went down. lie
called to his little brother for assistance
but before help arrived he had been suck
ed under by the current which is quite
strong at that point. When the distract
ed family and their neighbors arrived he
was beyond all hope, buried alive in the
cold water beneath ice of a great thick
ness. The most horrible phase OF the ac-
cident is the fact that search for the
body is an almost hopeless task. Work
was commenced Immediately and almost
constantly during daylight and for sever
al nights the search has been kept up. An
enormous quantity OF ice has been cut
From twenty to fifty men have been en-.
gagged in the search, but up to this time
the body has not been recovered. The
unfortunate boy was / years old and was
promising child. His parents have the
sympathy OF the entire community"
"A dispatch in a Phlla. paper, giving an
account of the finding of the body at Ra-
ven Rock, was seen by lady at Cochec-
ton, who wrote for particulars to Mayor
Bray, of this city. He secured pieces of
the clothing and wrote full description,
In answer to the inquiry, and has just re-
ceived the following reply;
