three younger fellows, none of the four
Delng able to swim, when he walked into
deep hole and the current took him in
still farther and when found he was in
eight feet of water. The boys ran for
help, but the young man had been in the
water over half an hour before his BODY
was recovered by Ansil Miles. He was
a very bright young fellow and will be
greatly missed in his home and by his as
sociates.
The GLORIOUS Fourth" was ushered in
by. the usual ringing of the bells and the
hiring OF torpedos and fire crackers, but
the ardor was somewhat dampened by
the hard shower in the early morning;
however by nine O'Clock large crowd
had gathered to witness the parade
which was led by the Lyndonville Mill.
