Yesterday afternoon Sackville (West. Co.) was shocked to hear that two students of Mount Allison University had broken through the ice at Morice's Pond, and that one of them, Frank HAMILTON, of Baie Verte, was drowned. Mr. Hamilton was 22 years of age. The funeral takes place tommorow from Upper Sackville Methodist Church to the station whence the remains will be sent to Baie Verte for interment.
