A sad accident happened on the ledge |
near Kendrick Richmond's last week, re-
sulting in the death of VIM. Greenwood,
his French name being William Boivail.
The arm of the derrick hit him on the
head and killed him almost instantly.
He was young man and came from
Sherbrooke here, although he belonged
in Quebec, and had just commenced
work. He had no relatives here. but
by contribution of the workmen, his
remains were carried to Stanstead and
inferred in the cemetery.
Lewis Barney, an employe on the new
railroad, was run over by the Charleston
stage Saturday night, the 9Th inst. be-
tween the depot and Coles Hotel, and
had his under jaw and right collar bone
each broken in two places, and "a hole
cut in his temple by the horses's calk.
He was crossing over from the hotel to
the depot when the stage came along
pretty fast, and the engine bell ringing at
the same time, and it being very dark
withal, prevented his hearing or seeing
the stage. He is now suffering badly,
but Dr. Ruthford, who was called to
dress the wounds, thinks he will come
out of it.
An alteration occurred last Friday
between William c. Morse and Henry
Abbot, of Newport Center. The trouble
originated about a tub of butter. tap

Tibbitt's cellar. Abbot moved his but
ter few days since to his own cellar,
whereupon Morse accused him (Abbott)
of taking tub of butter that did not
belong to him. Very hard language
was used by both parties when Morse
struck Abbott several blows in the face
and knocked, him down. The fight con-
tinued a few minutes when the combat
ants were parted. Abbott was badly
bruised and pounded, and is under the
care of observation-disclosures.
