falls above.
In trying to change their fishing
grounds, the boat as it was pushed of
got caught in the swift current and in
stantly capsized.
Martin kicked off his rubber boots,
managed to get ashore and called for
help. The up-turned craft tossing in
the rapids was difficult thing to cling
to and LaFarrar lost his hold. Brow
cinging to the boat with one hand,
seized his companion, who was unable to
swim, with the other. and in this way
they were rushed down stream. La
Farrar finally went down and Brow
managed to reach the government yacht,
anchored at the boathouse, to which he
was clinging chilled and exhausted,
when George NJ. Hawley, attracted by
Martins cries, appeared and rescued
Brow.
The body of LaFarrar was recovered a
few rods below the marble mill by
means of a grapple by Eugene Desc,
about seven o'clock in the morning.
LaFarrar leaves a wife and three chill
dren.

OBITUARY..

Mrs. Joseph Smith died March 21st
aged SO years. Most of her church life
was passed in Shoreham, nearly fifty
years an active member, sustaining the
regular meetings of the church. not only,
but to weekly social religious meetings

then was left alone but her service on
this line continued till she became quite
helpless. She spent the last few years
with her sister, Mrs. Golf. Her sympathy
kept up for the interest of the church
till the last. When members like this
are spared so long, the church has a
choice spiritual blessing. And knowing
her forty years in two parishes. nearly
forty years all told, can but testify to
her life as "A faithful witness to her
