We learn from the Cooperstown papers that Miss Ophelia Antisdell of Middlefield [Otsego Co. NY] was drowned at Turncliffs Five Mile Point, on Tuesday afternoon the 16th inst. Miss Antisdell was one of a party of ladies and gentlemen from Middlefield who had gone on a picnic excursion up the lake. Miss A. in company with another young lady attired themselves in bathing dresses and proceeded to a retired spot a few rods below the hotel for the purpose of bathing. They joined hands and waded to where the water was some two feet deep when they separated. Her companion turned toward the shore and when she looked around the unfortunate girl was struggling with her head just above the water, but immediately disappeared and did not raise to the surface again. The most vigilant efforts were made to rescue her before life was extinct but to no purpose. The body was not recovered till the next day.
