A Boy Shot BY HIS OWN FATHER-A shock
ing tragedy occurred in Rangely, Franklin
county Maine, few days since. A boy was
shot by bis Own father, whose name is Henry
Wilbur, and who has at times been subject to
insanity. The boy, lad of eleven years, was
lying sick with fever, and SO low as to be
unable to help himself Coming into the room
the father deliberately took down his gun from
the wall where it hnng, and before his inten
tions became known to those present, fired
with unhinchng aim at his son on the bed
The shot took effect in vital part, and the
lad fingered a few hours and died There is
no doubt that the unhappy father was suffer
ing from mental alteration at the time.

That he had courted and won the lady was an
undenable fact, for both having been sworn
in the cause, both 50 testified. The defence
set up was, that while in that state Of relations
towards each other which precedeS matrimony,
the lady bec7me a ccnrert ia spa i|uaiiSm and
herself an " interpreting medium" and the gen.
tleman not fancying the idea of a crowd of

and domestic felicity, declined to interchange
those ratilicat;ons, without which no treaty is
binding. There was proof on the other hand,
that the wooer had introduced his intended
first to the circle" and there, side 10y side,
had c6urted the presence Of the messenger
which set tables to moving, and frightened
said articles OF furniture out Of their wits
The jury thought that Jones should pay nine
hundred dollars for the violation Of his plight

SINGULAR AND FATAL ACcIDENr.-Ahr.,.
s. Howe, respectable and well known farmer
of Sterling Township, in this ounty, met wi,b
death. by drowning, in the following manner
as near as could be ascertaincd by those wbo
found his body
He left home on the I'd Of November with
his team and a load of beef for market alonn
the line of the Delaware & Hudson Canal
IL appeared that he struck the canal at tb.
village of Hawley, and was driving down thu
the tow-path with his load, with the view of
reaching the Narrows that night, but it he.
came dark when within two miles of that placs
In the early part of the evening his horses
and wagon were stopped by a lock tender and
Mr.. Walker, who knowing them, immedatev
. followed up the tow, path in search of N,
Howe, supposipg something wrong They
soon discovered by the wagon tracks that The
wheels had struck snubbing- post mile Or
more toward Hawley and with much force a.
the post was bent over. and the same wheel,
| made to bound clear off the track for few
feet This led them to believe the horses were
going at the time quite fast, and also to su..
pect that the driver might be thrown into the
canal, as its bank was bold and close to the
mark of the wheels. In this suppostion they
were correct, for upon rakng the canal bottom
few rods below the post they found the body
of Mr. Howe. There was no signs Of bodily
injury to be discovered, which leave the conclu.
sion inevitable that he was thrown from the
wagon into the canal at the time the whee
struck the post, and owing to the darkness Of
the night and his inability to swim be vas
drowned
He leaves wife and family and large
number of friends to mourn his loss He Was
brother of Judge Howe, and about 80 Years
of age Wayne Co. HerOld.
