In our hurry to go to press last
week, we neglected to mention the
drowning of Harry Cox, on Wednesday
afternoon last, bright and intelligent
son of Mr.. George Cox, of this village,
aged sixteen years. He was in swim
ming at the Little ManitOwoc river,
and had been in once and dressed, and
was on the point of going home, when
some more boys arrived, who induced
him to go in again, and he went, and
while in the middle of the stream he
was suddenly seized with cramps, and
sank before any of his companions
were aware of it. The bereaved par
ents have the sympathy of the entire
community in their sad aftliction.

On Thursday evening last little son
of Mr.. Gilbert w. Burnett met with a
rather singular accident, which proved
fatal. Mrs. Burnett had been making
soft soap, and by an oversight left
cup of strong lye on the floor, not
dreaming that the child would touch
it, but the little fellow seeing it, and
no doubt thinking it was something
very nice, took a large mouthfG! and
swallowed it, He fingered in great
agony until the following morning,
when death relieved him of his suffer
ings.
