Death by Drowning. Johnny, n little son of Mr. L. Ag new, of this place, who was ngod near ly three year.', wan found in the tank, bock of the Central House, on Friday afternoon lost, drowned. There hap pened to be no physicians in town, but the family and neighbors did all they knew how to resuscitate the child, but nil was t'f n avail. He was dead. Tho funeral services, which were con ducted by llev. Elliott, were largely attended, and sympathy of the who!o community was expressed for the sud den nnd unexpected bereavement of the stricken parent?. Little Jchnny w as a bright, active boy, and a favorite with nil. Tho tank into which he fell should be covered over the top nt once, to prevent any nioro such terrible acci dent". In another placo we publish tho method followed by all physicians for resuscitating persons supposed to be drowned. It would be well for our renders to cut this piece out and savo it, ns it very seldom happens that a phys:cian can be summoued in such a case in lima to he of any usp, especial ly if the accidcrt occurs in the country m il haui.ii'o. Our dear Johnny l,ns trone from llio fire side, lie lias faded like ilewdrops a way : Tlio angels of death they have called him To the realms of endless day. Ueyoiul the bright portals f heaven, Where the streets are paved with pure K!'lo lie i sintfins the song of the ransomed In that land of joy untold. His spirit lias gone to its iver, Away from the cold earthly clay-, To the bright sunny land o'er tho river Where angels will show him tho way. He was joire and fresh us the rosebud, I T it lillio irvoo bright nnd fair, And angels willr weh-ome our darling, In that blis.sful home over there. . . Another Fire. On Monday morning last, at about 10 o'clock, a. m., the residence ol Mr, It. W. Dithridge, situated at th mouth if the creek, on the south side, was discovered to be on fire. The whistle of Knox's mill notified the inhabitants of the pla?e, nmLall turned out to see where the fire was, and if possible to help put it out. Arriving at the luouth of the creek, on this side, it was dis covered that the only means of getting' across was by means of skiffs, or going a ron ud by the bridge. The arrival of the people at the rjlacc was, therefore, so delayed that when a sufficient num ber had arrived it was found impossi ble to save the building, nud their at tention was given entirely to remov ing tho furniture, &Cj nut. The piano organ, and most oftliL- furuituro was sav ed but the house, a substantial atructurc, was burned to tho ground. A small house, occupied, wc believe, by Mr. Dithridge's gardiier, which was situa ted but a short distance from the burn ing building, was saved by the efforts of those preseut, by means of putting carpets, kc, on the roof and keeping them saturated with water. We un derstand that thcro was an insuiau'e of 82,500 on the house, and u like amount on the furniture. As to the origin of the fire, wa cau get no facts. No one knows just how it happened, but from the fact that it started in the upper story of the wing part, it is sup posed that it caught fr iin a defective flue. Mr. Dithridge has the sympathy of the entire comniuity iu his misfor tunes. Less than two vears ajro his huge mill aud a large quantity of lum ber was burned, and the loss was near ly 6 100,000, ou which there was no in surance w hatever. He had never fair ly got .upon his feet since that terrible disaster, and now it seems hard that this second blow should deprive him of hi residence. Whether or not ft good fire engine, properly worked would have saved the building, we do uot know, but at all events, these fires, which seem to pick out only tho best and most ex pensive buildings, make till think that a tire apparatus of some kind would be a dcsiruble thing in our town. As it is now, if a fire gets a good start, there is nothing to do but to remove the contents and try to savj adjoining buildings. . , IIoi,u.t.t,,nesijOuu!;nitIl( Tidioute, on ft (inQ assortmpiU of 'fishing tackles, of alt' descriptions. ; He pays parliculor attention to fitting ; out ligs for trouting, and his prices are low.

(Jill Alien, Rhodes and Chiriot, stuck to the boat until it sunk. Lytic Cook having jumped off by tho wing dam with a rope, swam ashore hopirg to stop the boat by hitching to some thing. Geo. Campbell (iv brother-in-law of Mr. Aruer), also jumped iu above tlio dam, but was struck ou the temple by tho rope and when going over wa3 held under tho breakers where, it is estimated, he held bis breath for tho space of two minute, then coming up below was drawn out iu a fainting condition by Cook.

Although it is yet early, and there is still snow in the woods along the streams, Ihe strings brought in were creditable to the fishermen.
