           DROWNED. - A party of workmen attempted to cross Pere Marquette
        lake Thursday in an overloaded boat, during a heavy blow. When near
        the middle of the lake, the boat capsized, and all were thrown into
        the water, but succeeded in escaping with their lives, except D. H.
        HULBERT of Pentwater, who was drowned ***** a floating boom was al-
        most within reach. On Sunday the tug "B. W. Rice" with a party of
        friends went up to recover the body. After about forty minutes' the
        body was found in nearly sixty feet of water, and was brought to
        this place. The funeral was attended on last ******. Mr. HULBERT
        left a young family and numerous friends to mourn his loss.
