Drowning in the St. Lawrence: The Montreal Weekly Gazette of the 17th inst: Says: We regret to learn that there is now no doubt of the fact that the Rev. Mr. McCrae, of Chateauguay Basin, and Messrs Pincent and Alex. Fullarton, of the same place, were drowned in the St. Lawrence off that place, on Tuesday morning. The wind was rather high at the time, and when last seen they were sailing down the river at a very rapid pace. The light-housekeeper observing this went into the house for his glass in order to see who they were, and while in heard a loud scream. On coming out again the boat had disappeared, and there is no doubt that the yacht was then upset, and the whole party went down. The boat was found on Friday at Laprairie, much damaged. The unfortunate young men were highly respected, and deeply regretted by all who knew them. The Rev. Mr. McCrae had just entered on his duties as Free Church missionary at Chateauguay.
