Child Drowned—A distressing incident.
—Early on Friday morning of last week, Wm. Sherman Benner, about 9 years old, the son of Mr. Frank Benner, of Sharpsburg, fell from his father's boat into the canal near Weverton, and was drowned. Mr. Benner had told the little boy to go in to the feed room of the boat for something, and on running in he struck his head against the top of the door with such force as knocked him overboard.
