                        Harry Lowery's Body Recovered

The body of Harry Lowery, the 8-year-old son of Mr. Thomas Lowery, whose sad 
death from drowning in the canal running from Mahone's Lake to the river was 
mentioned in yesterday's Virginian, was recovered yesterday morning by one of 
the force of dredgers who had been employed by the youth's parents to search for 
it.  When recovered the body was near Anderson's mill, which is situated at 
almost the mouth of the canal and it was at once taken to the residence of the 
lad's sorrowing parents without the formality of holding an inquest.  His 
funeral will take place from the residence of his parents, No. 88 Wood Street, 
this afternoon at 5 o'clock.
