Special telegram from St. Stephen - Two lads, named MITCHELL and JENNIS, aged respectively 12 and 8 years, left home Wednesday morn. to pick raspberries some distance from town. Not returning in the eve., search was made for them, but without result until yesterday morn. when their dead bodies were discovered in a brook about a mile from St. Stephen by Z. CHIPMAN, Esq. It is supposed the boys went into the stream to bathe as their clothes were found on the bank; and they had waded into a deep hole just above where they were found, got beyond their depth and were drowned. COURIER: William MITCHELL and Berton JENNIE
