Aug 9, 1826 On Saturday last, a boy of MR. JOHN HAWKES, JR., about eight years of age, while playing in a gondola near Chase's Mills, fell overboard. His dog, a water spaniel, immediately, without being told, jumped in and dragged him on shore; no person being near, the boy must have been drowned, had it not been for the dog.
