DROWNING ACCIDENT AT TAUN-
 TON LAKE.


A sad case, and one that appealed to the sympathies of every father and mother in town, was the drowning accident which occurred Friday, Feb ruary 13, in Taunton lake. Harry Burton Maynard, oldest son of Mrs Benjamin Maynard, came home from school, Friday afternoon, took his skates and went directly for the pond. This is the last his mother saw of him. After short time had elapsed she became worried and seeking for him she noticed skate tracks on the ice, Becoming alarmed she called for help, and after some time Chester Northrop and Edward Camp took a boat and went out. The ice was so tender that 1t broke immediately when the boat was pushed out. With graphing irons, the body was soon found in l5 feet of water. The body had been in the water so short time it had undergone no change. The neighbors and friends were very kind and did all they could to relieve Mrs Maynard, who was com pletely overcome by grief. The funer- al was attended Monday afternoon at 7 o'clock, at his home, Rev Otis w. Barker officiating. The burial was in Land'sEnd cemetery. The bearers were: John Hawley, Clarence Ruffells
 Georgie Wilson and Michael Honan, all schoolmates. There were floral tributes from the Congregational Sun- day school, of which Harry was a member. The Taunton school and the neighbors and friends contributed a nice floral piece. A mother, sister, Maud, and two brothers, Clinton and Benjamin, remain to mourn the loss.

Bible Manuscript
Found In Syria

New York, Jan. 16.-A cable TO the
Sun from London says: What is said
to be the Oldest Biblical manuscript ex-
tant was lately discovered in Syria and
Is now in safe keeping at Cairo. 1t
comprises the Pentateuch, written in
Samaritan characters on gazelle parch-
ment, and its date is the year 1l6 o.
the Moslem era. which is equivalent to
1856 A. ID.
II is declared to be far OLDER than any
OF the Hebrew Biblical manuscripts in
the libraries of Europe or America. 1t
Is stated that the oldest manuscript in
the British Museum is OF the year 1889
a. D., and that this has hitherto been
supposed TO be the oldest in the world.
The newly discovered manuscript
contains Immediately after the deca-
logue passage Of about fifteen lines
that does not exist in the authorized
version. II is said that this passage is
likely to clear up several disputed
points.
