A Man Drowned.
Information Wanted.
We understand that Frances Marrow of Sharpsburg in this county was drowned while steering the Canal Boat "Albert Braught" on "Big Slack Water," near where the Marsh Run empties into the Potomac, on Monday the 30th of September last. He wore a black overcoat with cape and blouse and dark pants. His distressed mother, Mrs. Ellen Marrow is very anxious to recover his remains, if they have been washed ashore and will be thankful for any information that may enable her to do so.
