A Sad Case of Drowning at Stanley Bridge.

SKATED INTO A HOLE.

On Saturday last, the 10th the children were enjoying them- selves skating and fishing on Stanley

River about a mile above Stanley Bridge. S. H. Brown, Esq., and his two boys were among the number, and while he was fish- ing, bis son Willie and another bey about twelve years old, son of John Wedlock, butcher, started off skating across the river

in the direction of Alexander Anderson’s | Point. Wedlock being ahead, skated into) ahole. The noise made by Willie Brown brought Mr. Brown and the rest of the

children to the place, but, having nothing o save him, he perished and sank in four or five fathoms of water. A young boy named John Steele, if allowed, would have gone inafter him, but it was considered unsafe. The people of Stanley turned out to search for the body, and, through the effurts of Mr. George Murphy, Captain D. Sutherland and others, the body was found late inthe evening. A coroner’s inquest was immediately held by Dr. McNeill, and the jury returned a verdict in accordance with the above facts. The jury further expressed their views relative to the great necessity of parents and teachers remon-

strating with the children to be very cautious ere venturing on the ice when dangerous.
