Sad Case of Drowning -- On last Monday, the little boy of Philip Van Blaricom, sixteen months old, fell into a well and drowned. The father was off at work in the field and the mother was working in the garden when the child fell into the well. She left her work to get a drink at the well when she discovered the child floating on the water. They endeavored to resusitate the child, but he was far too gone. The burial took place on Tuesday.
