Drowned - Patrick LYNES, of Merrimac Township, was drowned on Sunday, August 13, in Big River, near Maddox's Mill. He was one of a party of about ten who were fishing in Big River and was floating down stream on a drag, when, by some mischance, he was turned off the log and sank. LYNES was a pretty good swimmer, but it is supposed he received a sun stroke, which prevented him making use of his skill as a swimmer. He leaves a rather unfortunate widow. Her first husband, Mr. Hugh HAMEL, was killed in a row, and now her second has met an untimely death.
