Obituary

Distressing Accident. On Saturday last, Delos, youngest son of Wm Lanyon, Esq. of this City, aged about six years, accidentally fell into a cistern which was full of water, and before help could be obtained to get him out, life was so far extinct as to render resuscitation impossible, although every means was resorted to known to medical science. He was an unusual bright and active child, and his bereaved parents have the sympathies of a large circle of friends.
