About 1:30 o'clock on Wednesday after noon Ella Madden aged about 16 years, and her half-sister, Laura Whittingham, aged 5 years, step-daughter nnd daughter of ex. Recorder Alfred Whitlngham.of Weissport, left homo to go to East Weissport to get some wild cherry bark to bo used !n making cough mixture. They called nt tho houso of Mrs. Hatch, who lives a short distance above tho boat-yard, near the canal, where they remained for an hour or more. They then went out to got the cherry bark, and it is supposed while Ella was so engaged, the little girl, Laura, went upon a rock over looking tho canal, and going too near the ed?e fell o IT in to ten feet or more of water. Ella seeing tho accident, ond frantic with excitement, sprang into tho canal with a hope of saving tho child, but in tho struggle bilh perished. Tho casualty was noticed by David Hoflman, on employee at the boat-yard, but ho at first thought that tho splashing In tho water was mudo by bov swimming, tho localitybcing near a com mon resort of this kind. There wcro somo suspicious circumstances about tho matter, and he raised an alarm. A number gather ed at the olnt, and it was immediately re membcrcd that the two girls wcro last seen In that vicinity. Mr. Douglass Arncr dived from the rock, and by chance at once found and brought up the body nf Ella Madden It is estimated that sho had been under water about 25 minutes, and there wero still same signs ofanlmatlon. Efforts at rcsusvi tatiou wcro immediately made, a messenger was sent Tul Dr. Zcrn, but the means proved unavailing. In tho meantime, unsuccessful efforts to recover the body of the little sister were being vigorously prosecuted. Finally, near 7 o'clock, Daniel Graver, a youth, son of Mr. John Graver, succeeded, after rejieat ed divings into tho canal, in finding and swimming ashore with tho body of the child. Dr. Zern arrived as soon as practical but of course saw that resuscitation was 1m possible. A coroner's jury was deemed un necessary. It was a prima facia case of ac cidental drowning, and the two bodies were removed to their home. The untimely ens ualty has cast a gloom over tha community a fooling of deep sympathy for tho be reaved and grief-s'ricken parents, who have but one child left them, a boy youuger than either of the girls. On Wednesday when a representative of the Advocatk vis itcd the homo over which death had cast so sudden and ruthless a shadow, tha mother, who is in a delicate stato of health, was en tirely overwhelmed with grief and despai was bereft of reason, and mauy fears were entertained for her safety. The two iul faces upon which but a few hours ago, tho roses oftyouth and health Had bloomed, now peeping up from their cold receptacles, spoke volumes, of the uncertainty of life- were an impressive reminder that however, hope, or ambition, or avarice, or life's duties may teech us to forget It tho grim monster death, stalks ever by our side, ready, with out a moment's warning, to claim us for his own, The funeral will take place to-day loaiuruuyj ai one o ciocu p. m.

He eulogized tho heroic pa-t which Messrs. Zern nnd Cnssidy bore In defense of honest government In tho late session of tho Legislature. IIo said that tho people could in no way better show their appreciation of the labors of Messrs Zern nnd Cassidy than by rolling up a Democratic ajority of 600 in glorious little Carbon in tho coming fall campaign.

After teaching for several years in various schools Miss Brooks entered the State Normal School at Ediuborough, Erio county, where sho graduated in 1868. Sho then spent four years in that institution as a teacher, after which sho taught in tho public schools of Mcadville, and camo to Wayne county to fill a vacancy in tho Normal school a Way mart. From thenco she came to Curbondule, whero she has conducted a select 6chool,und made many friends by laithfulucss nnd thoroughness in her work. Upon learning, a few weeks ngo, that a Superintendent was to bo elected lor this county Miss Brooks an nounced her intention of asking for tho place, with what success, tho result of this election shows. This result is one which holds out new inducements to lady teachers to dili gence in their profession, and shows, too, that whero they choose to enter the lists for an elective ollicc, their chances for success are quite as great as those of the sex to whom custom has hitherto conceded the arena of politics and oflico holding. Lacka wanna couuty is tlio second in the Stale to electa lady Superintendent, tho other being Tioga county, where Miss 6orah F. Lewis is now serving her second term.
