Four Bodies Recovered.
After a eearch lasting about As hours
the bodies of the four unfortunate
young people who were drowned Sun
day, June "a, in Lake Memphremagog,
were found. They were in about Is
feet of water nearly 20 rods from
shore, in the vicinity of the place they
were last seen alive. From the posi-
ton of the bodies it is evident that
the young men attempted to save
their companions, but none of the
party being able to swim, their efforts
were in vain. The funerals were
held Thursday, that of Mr.. Daley be-
ing from the Catholic church in the
forenoon, and of Mr.. and Mrs. Paquin
and Miss Paquin in the afternoon at
the Baptist church in West Derby. A
sense of personal loss pervades the
whole community as all the young
people W re well and favorably known
both socially and in a business way.
Much sympathy is expressed for the
parents, especially Mr.. and Mrs. Pa.
quin, who are rendered childless by
this accident.
