l A most distressing event happened in this city, l yesterday morning. Three boys-two of them Thomas Jefferson, aged 10 years, and Frederick Samuel, aged Q, sons of Mr. Thomas S Parker--the were bathing in the Connecticut, about quarter of mile below the mouth of the Little River, when one of them got into deep water and became stfan. gled. The others attempted to aid him, when all three sunk to the bottom and were drowned. A young lad of their company, who was on the river go some distance, some time elapsed before help could be obtained. Two of the bodies were got out of the water after they had lain there about an hour, and efforts were made to resuscitate them, but in vain. The body of the other was fouad in the afternoon.

 The event iss most affective one to the parents, and they have the universal sympathies of cur cit- zens.-Hattord Cosuans, .dag. 10.
