On Sunday morn. a number of small boys went to bathe in Mr. Tilton's slip when John QUINN, about six years old, was left behind and the gate was fastened by the other boys. When he did not return, his father, suspecting him to have fallen over the wharf, searched for him. On the Wednesday following he discovered his body under the wharf and brought him home to his distressed mother. His remains were interred yesterday at 4 o'clock.
