Number of Cases of Children Breaking Through the Ice.

 A number of cases of young children breaking through the ice on the differ ent ponds around town have been re- ported this week. One case which the writer saw was that of a small boy who was on the ice on the Naugatuck river when the ice broke and but for the timely assistance of his compan- ions he might have been drowned. AS it was he received a good ducking and no doubt he will avoid thin ice ill the future.
