Drowned.

--About one o'clock yesterday morning, a man named John O'Keefe, while drunk, fell into the dock, at the foot of Eighteenth street, and was drowned. His body was fished up a few hours after day and a jury of inquest was held over it, their verdict being that his death was caused by "accidental drawing." O'Keefe was formerly an enlisted soldier from this city, but was subsequently disabled in the service and detailed to work at the Laboratory, where he was employed up to the time of the occurrence which resulted in his death.

About eleven o'clock on the same night, a stranger, whose name we could not learn, fell into the canal, near the Danville depot, and would have drowned but for the close proximity of a sentinel standing guard at Mayo's bridge, who, hearing his cries, hurried to the spot and hauled him out of the water.
