A MAN DROWNED -- About half-past 1 o’clock yesterday afternoon, a man named Jacob RABE, a native of Cappelu, Scleswig-Hostein, aged about 45 years, fell out of a small boat in Lindsay slough, near the intersection of Miner avenue and Centre street, and was drowned. Deceased lived in a small ark, or covered flat-boat, and worked on the levee, discharging vessels. It appears that he was considerably intoxicated yesterday, and while undertaking to cross the slough to the vessel where he was employed the boat capsized. The affair was noticed by several persons, who gave the alarm, and no time was lost in endeavoring to save him, but all efforts in that direction proved unavailing. After he had been in the water about 15 minutes, the body was recovered. Dr. STOCKTON was called and pronounced the man dead. The body was taken in charge by Coroner BOND, who, we are told, does not consider it necessary to hold an inquest, as it is shown clearly that death was caused by accidental drowning. The remains of the unfortunate man will be interred today.
