' A double drowning accident occurred at the foot of Balsam chute, on the 3` north branch of the Muekoka river, on t Monday afternoon, lst in_st., when Ed- - ward and George Parker, sons of Wil- I liam Parker, of Parkersville, were . drowned. The story of the accident is as follows :-A party, including the -~ father and two sons, were deer hunting. George Parker shot and badly wound- - ed a deer near the river. The animal V made for the water and was followed % by the_ young man, who jumped into * the river after the deer. Parker wore a belt lled with cartridges, and prob-` ably the weight was two much for him, as he immediately sank. His father, who was on the shore near by, saw his son sink and gave the alarm, and Ed- -: ward, the Elder brother, came to his i assistance, jumping in after him, but 7 he, toodisappeared almost immediately. _= An attempt was made to recover the bodies, but owing to a swift current and a bad eddy at the foot of the chute they were unsuccessful until an hour afterwards, when the body of Edward was recove're_d.i The body of George has not yethcen found; `Edward was- married and leaves a young wife and one child Rev. Mr. Smith presided, and after briey referring to the very commend- able work of the ladies, called upon the Rev. Mr. Locke, of Bradford, to read from the Scriptures.

The choir `sang an anthem, As Panteth the Hart, following which Miss McKellar, M.D., and Miss Ross, of Indore, Cen- tral India, were called to the platform.
