Messrs. E. Lantalum & Co. have received advices of the drowning of Alexander CORMIER, mate of barque "Kate Cann" of Bordeaux, France. Cormier had been unwell and on saturday Oct. 21, went ashore to get some medicine. He did not return to the vessel. It was feared that he had fallen overboard and had been drowned and the dock was dragged. In a few days the body floated and was recoverd and buried in a cemetery at Bordeaux. Cormier was a very steady careful man and it is supposed that he lost his footing in getting to the vessel, got stunned and never rose to the surface of the water while living. He had been in Messrs. Lantalum's employ for some time. Cormier belonged to the North Shore, was about 33 years old and was unmarried.
