Nearly Drowned. â€" On Tuesday Mr. John Witter, of the Commercial Hotel, had a narrow escape from drowning in Allen's lake at Horniug's Mills. On Monday the burly host left with a few friends to be ready to catch the speckled beauties early on Tues- day morning. Mr. Witter took an old boat made of planks on the lake, and proceeded to fish with alacrity. He had not been at work long when Mr. W. Stubbs, of Charleston, who was fishing in a canoe souie distance off, notieed that one end of the boat was getting leyel with the water. He called Witter's attention to the fact, but Witter paid no attention to him, and kept on fishiug. Mr. Stubbs, ex- pecting an accident, started to row toward Witter's boat and it was well that he did so, for the gay Witter was merrily engaged in pulling up the trout, and did not notice that his boat was rapidly filling with water. Before Mr. Stubbs had got near the boat it capsized, and Witter began a lively struggle lor dear existence. He is not a swimmer, and his only hope, there- fore, lay in clinging to the fragile craft, but every time he tried to get hold of It there was an npset. and mine host was pretty well exhausted when Mr. Stubbs came to his assistance. Mr. S. could not take him into his light canoe, but stopped the rockmg of the |,oat by throwing the anchor'into it' Witter wag now slowly tawed toward the shore, and was pretty well exhaast- ed when he reached terra firma. He lost ^I the fish he had eanght, but tiiis was not a calamity over wbieh any teats were shed. If it bad not been for the timely arrival of Mr. Stnbbs it is altogether probable that Mr. Witlw ivoald be with the m^oc^ to-day.! â- ,,,: â-  ;.:â- -: ;^,,:4...;,^-.. WATCHES!
