We learn from 'Eastport Sentinel' that Bradford OLMORE, his son Henry OLMORE 2nd, Leonard COOK and James OLMORE of Cutler Maine, recently left for Haycock's harbour for the purpose of driving herring. Not succeeding in finding any, they set out on their return home in the night and had arrived to within a hundred rods of their houses when their boat was upset by the sea. They all succeeded on getting on her, but were repeatedly washed off, and sad to relate, all were drowned except Bradford OLMORE.
