      A Mr . Albert Keel , a young man of eighteen , the son of a genrteman residing at Bath , hits been drowned in the river Avon . He was rowing in a skiff , which came into collision with another boat . The youth was at once thrown head foremost into the water , and never rose again . 'The body -was recovered in about -fire . minutes , but life was quite ezctinct . It is supposed that Mr . Keel struck liis head against the bottom , and was ^ stunned , for "he was a good swimmer . Another horrible death by drowning has occurred to

      \ sl youth of eighteen . He was the son of a toll-keeper . near Glasgow , and , being near tlie old qnany , lie sprang from the bank into the Avater . After swimming about for jx few minutes , he dropped his feet and stood upright . His Teet , however , stuck in the thick soft mud at the ¦• bottom , and "he gradually sank . His cries attracted a man and woman to the spot , and the former jumped hi , ; and did his best to rescue the youth . But by this time ithe water had covered his head , and life had flown . The body was only got out with great difficulty .

      Two young men have been drowned in the Aln , Northumberland , while bathing . One , observing that the other was sinking , went to liie rescue ; but both were lost . A neighbouring clergyman , hearing them cry , went to the rescue , but arrived too late .
