MELANCHOLY AcCIDENT.-On Tuesday the 2Sth
ut, rs Lew +. Fisk of Shelburne Mass. was driving
span of horses with n load of shingles through the
village OF Jacksonville, bunch of Shingles fell from
the load frightening the horses so as to render them
unmanageable They then started down the hill upon
run throwing off half the load and the driver off his
seat on the pole and from thence to the ground in
front Of the Wheels when both wheels with the load
passed directly the upper part of his chest and
shoulders, breaking in his chest and otherwise juring
him so that he died in about six hours.
The horses about fifteen rods after Mr. Fisk was
thrown of when they came in contact with n horse
and buggy belonging TO Mr. Read of Halifax ran the
pole of the wagon through the horse killing him al
most instantly, and smashing the buggy. They then
ran about three rods and brought up against the cor
ner Of fence, without any injury to the horses other
than some slight scratches The entire distance from
where the horses took fright where they were stop
ped was only about 40 rods
Mr.. Fisk was Immediately carried into house near
where he was hurt, and every attention both by ply
sicans and citizens of Jacksonville rendered him.
messenger was Immediately dispatched for his
friends but none Of them arrived until half an hour
after he had expired. He became conscious after he
was hurt and told the cause of the horses becoming
frightened. He was 81 years old and unmarried

GRAND MUSICAL SoIRIE-Lovers of good music
will have an opportunity next Tuesday night, June
12h to listen to the excellent execution of series of
musical gems by the celebrated Mendessohn Quintette
Club Of Boston. The Club embraces five of the most
talented and finished artists, PLAYING the following in
sruments First Violin, Second do, Viola, vioncel-
so, Carionette and Flute, and their performances will
comprise pieces from the distinguished and pop
ulnr composers. The programme contains among
Others Mendessohn's most exquisite "Songs without
words" grand Solo for Flute, do. for Caronet
grand variations for the Violnceo and Gungls cele-
DRAFTED sounds from Home for Violin, the execution
of which will prove that the phrase "to make an in
strument speak" is no Buncombe.
This concert is got up by several citizens of this
place who have guaranteed to the performers the
amount necessary to pay for their services and all in
cidental expenses, and it hoped therefore that the
public will for the sake of their own pleasure as well
ms for the promotion of refined musical TASTE fill the
Town Hall and give satisfaction to the artists. The
price has been put at such figure to enable every
body to come and there is no doubt that the treat
given will amply repay the outlay.
