At this point in the river the boating and fishing is excellent. Last Monday evening, about 6:30 o'olock, Mre. Ward and some of the young people were ont boat riding. Her httle son, Harry, aged 8 years, went down on the boat land- ing and called to them, saying that he wished to eiohange his hat. This was the last seen of the little boy, as the boat passed around the bend of the river hid- ing him from their view; they returned in about fifteen minutes and finding his hat floating in the river, search was at once made, but no other trace oould be found of the little boy. Master Harry Gue plunged into the river and after diving several times suooeeded in finding the- body and brought it to the shore. Every possible effort was made to re- suscitate him, but too late, life was extinct. The heart-stricken family and friends returned to Jersey City with the remains Tuesday morning.
