Owing to the horrible state of the weather
during last week it was not expected that a

last Sundays meeting at Temple Heights,
nor was there; but those who did attend
filled the front room of Cliff cottage and
listened to a splendid discourse by Mrs NJ

cal and poetical, teeming with words of

Mrs, W entworth,
A very sad case Of accidental drowning
occurred from the wharf at Temple Heights
| Monday afternoon between two and three
o'clock. 1t seems that Harry Levergne Ward
the eldest son of Mrs. Ada Brier, by former
marriage, and Bert Brier, a son Of MIR
| Charles Brer, Went to Temple Heights for
the purpose of fishing. The Ward boy, the
| elder of the two, was standing on the slip OF
the wharf, and the younger lad was on the
bank, digging worms for bair. When he re-
| turned to the wharf with the bait he was
greatly surprised to find his companion
missing. On looking over the side of
the wharf he saw him disappear under
the water. As there was no help near he
ran toward home, but ON his way Mr..
Frank Dickey heard his cries for help
and fastened to the wharf. Soon others ar
rived from the Cove with a boat. A line
with large hook attached was thrown over
and dragged along, and W hen about 90 feet
| from the wharf, between the slip and the
southern end of the wharf the hook caught
and Mr.. Dickey hauled up the lifeless body
of Harry Ward. How he came to fall into
the water will probably never be known
| Every effort possible was made to bring him
to, but every effort failed, for from the time
the alarm was given to the recovery of the
body must have been nearly an hour. AS
soon as all hope of resuscitation had fled
the body was tenderly placed in the
carriage of Captain A. F. Elwell, who
conveyed it to the home fir ON which but
an hour or two before he had gone forth full
of life and boyish glee. Sad indeed, was
the sorrow of that fond mother. For a
time she seemed almost paralyzed by
the suddenness of the shock, and as she
realized the awful truth flood of tears
gave abundant proof of the anguish that
wrung her heart as she looked upon the life
less form of her dear son, whose budding
years of boyhood had begun to blossom into
