Accidentally drowned.
--On Sunday afternoon last, Mr. Joseph M. Carrington, of this city, was accidentally drowned while bathing in Switt Crock, Chesterfield county.
We understand it had been Mr. C's habit for years back to bathe in this creek; but that on the evening of the occurrence he was taken with the cramp while beyond his depth, and was drowned before assistance could reach him. The deceased was a well known lawyer, and during a protracted practice of his profession in the courts of this city and the adjoining counties won for himself the esteem of all with whom he was associated.
For many years be was a representative in the City Council from Jefferson Ward, during which time he jealously guarded the interests of his constituents.
