A SAD DEATH.

Young Stanislaus Michel Drowned in Attempting to Swim Across a Pond.

Master Stanislaus Michel, the promising young son of Mr. and Mrs. T. L. Michel, 
of Faulbourg LaPipe, was drowned this morning at 4:30 a.m. whilst smiming [sic] 
across a pond lying between the old and new levees opposite the residence of his 
parents. The body has been recovered and the funeral will take place tomorrow 
morning at 9 o'clock at the Catholic church. Young Michel was out early this 
morning bent on catching shrimps, and thinking that better fishing grounds could 
be found near the old levee attempted to swim across when he was seized with 
cramps when half way. His brother, Laurent, who had proceeded him on horseback, 
at once rushed to his rescue, but the unfortunate lad had already sank into his 
watery grave. His body was fished out shortly afterwards by Mr. Paul Dugas and 
others. As there are or four or five feet of water at that place where the young 
man was drowned, the natural inference is that young Stanislaus was taken with 
cramps. The TIMES extends its heartfelt sympathies to the bereaved parents.
