A youthful Hero.
--A little son of Dr. Mettler, of Hartford, Conn., broke through a spot of thin ice on little River, on Monday last, and was carried by the current under the ice below. Charlie Champion, a boy 13 years of age, witnessed the accident, and ran to the rescue. Seeing the body floating along under the thin, transparent ice, he quickly ran a short distance below, seated himself where a cake of old ice made it strong, kicked with his heels a hole through the ice just ahead of the floating boy, and stuck his legs through. The drowning boy clutched his foot firmly, when Charlie drew him to the opening, seized him with his hands, and pulled him out alive! He was properly cared for.
