A MARROW ESCAPE FROM DROWNING

A MARROW ESCAPE FROM DROWNING.
 On Waramaug lake, last Saturday afternoon, occurred an accident which son of Edson Cogswell. While he was enjoying the fine skating of that day on the lake, his skates glided on to thin ice covering space which had been cut out for filling an ice house, and he sank for the third time before his uncle, RemuS COgswell, who was cutting ice near by, reached the place, and having an ice hook in hand he was fortunate in fastening 1t to Raymond's coat and raised him to the surface, when other willing hands were extend ed to rescue him from his cold bath and friends accompanied him to his home mile away. The boy has suf- fered no i'll effects from his immersion escaping from drowning. The writer hopes it will prove warning the re- mainder of the winter to boys of his age and younger, against venturing on all parts of lake. or stream, unaccom- panied by older persons, and also cause greater watchfulneSS for places where ice is of insufficient strength to hold.
