On Sunday evening an exciting Incl

a youth named Cornelius Foley of

prompt and plucky action. A number

banks of the Dallow, when one of
them, little girl named Sweeney, fell
into the river, which was rather swol-
len owing to the recent rains. The
child was borne along by the current
into a rather deep portion of the river
and was in imminent danger of drown
ing. The cries of the other children
attracted the attention of young
Foley, who ran to the spot, and i'm
mediately plunged into the river and
rescued the child, who was in an ex-
hausted and semi-unconscious condi.
ton.
