The Nurse Question At Helston ñ At Saturday's meeting of the Helston Board of Guardians three candidates offered themselves for the vacant post of nurse to the workhouse, at a salary of £16 a year.

Sad Case Of Drowning At Porthleven ñ On Thursday afternoon, about four o'clock, a boy named Sydney Ruberry was bathing in the harbour and was observed to be apparently sinking. An alarm was raised, and a fisherman named Edward Thomas went in the water to his rescue. He reached the boy, who got on his shoulders, but shortly sank. The boy then released his hold, and a man named Glasson, who could not swim, walked as far as he could in the water and just caught Thomas by his hair. Shortly after a boat came and rescued the three, but Thomas had to be carried ashore. Dr. Arnold was promptly on the scene, and Mr. Beckerleg, chief coastguard officer. The usual means for restoring life were used for upwards of an hour, but Dr. Arnold found no pulsation from the first, and after all efforts proved to be unavailing. The unfortunate man's body was conveyed to its home. The deceased was about forty years old, and leaves a widow and five children. He was a member of the Wesleyan Society and highly respected.
