A sad incident. The community near where the assembly was held were greatly alarmed on Saturday the 5th inst. Mr. Cain Long's little girl, three years old had fallen into the water and was drowned. The particulars are as follows: She and an older sister had gone out into the orchard to gather a few apples, and on their return this little girl, who was particularly fond of playing in water, stopped to amuse herself in a little pool of water near a large and deep ditch that ran in front of the house, and it is supposed that in place of her going down to the bridge to cross that she, not knowing the depth of the water, she deliberately walked Into the ditch, and as the ditch was full of water and very swift, there can be no doubt that the current carried her body down to the Portage river, about 80 rods from where she fell into the ditch. When the elder sister came in the mother asked where Nettie was. She said out there playing in the water. And as mothers are usually on the watch of their children, she stepped to the door and called, but no answer came. She immediately gave the alarm and search was made, but up to the present writing her remains are not found. The parents are almost distracted over the sudden and mysterious disappearance of the child. Malinta, O., Aug. 10th, 1882. D. W. D.
