Drowned. On yesterday morning three young colored boys from 12 to 15 years of age—Walter Davies, Ltftius Few and Frank Winn—and two colored men, Tom Wright and Tobe Slater, went out to the river, in rear ot Mr. Jas. S. Smith’s plantation, and went washing and fishing. While the two men were up the river fishing the three boys went in washing in a place where the water was about 10 feet deep. After some time one of the boys, Walter Davies, became fatigued or scared, and commenced to drown. He made an outcry, and the other two boys, in the effort to rescue him after, he had sunk the second time, reached him a pole, but he Could not hold to it, and sank the third time and did not rise. The boys gave the alarm and an eflort was made to find the body, unsuccess fully at first. After a good deal of hunting the news was brought to town and a party made up to go out and re cover the body. Mac Davies, the father of the boy, and a number of our citizens, both white and colored, went out, but took the Cairo road, under the impression that the drowning had occurred near Jones’ bridge. While they were hunting the place two col ored men, Elder Downs and Robert King had taken charge of the body, which had been recovered by two col ored men who lived in the neighbor hood, Isaac Ivey and Robert Crum ley, brought it to town and carried it to Davies’ home. They came in some time before the other party arrived We learn that Ivey and Crumley found the body clinging to a log about three feet under water, in a place where the water was about ten feet deep, and it is lair to presume that the boy, in Ins dying moments, grasped the log. Mac Davies and his boy were both very much liked -by our people, and the regret at the loss is universal. The burial will lake place to-day. Off to Amerious.
