a class Of advertisements such as heretofore

1t is our intention, as heretofore, to exclude
everything of an injurious aud unreliable

as much strictness as we would exclude sim
liar matter from our reading columns This

We have to record most fearful case of
suicide. Thomas Shea, native ofSt. Johns
bury, % years of age and an engineer on
the G. & p. R. r. r., hung himself in his
room ut Sherbrooke, z. O., on the night Of
Friday, the 18th inst. The cause Of the rash
act was unquestionably mental excitement
and anguish in consequence ofthe blame cast
upon him in relation to the killing of Mr..
Beattie's child at McIndoes few weeks ago,
by the engine of the freight train run by Mr..
Shea. The father of the child very much
blamed Shea, and has repeatedly, we UNDER
stand, accused him Of purposely killing his
child, calling him ga murderer" &c.
Before hanging himself, which was done
with sheet from his bed, attached to the
door of his room, Shea stabbed himself re-
peatedly in the throat with his pocket knife.
In regard to the amount Of blame attach
ing to the unfortunate man in the death of
Mr.. Beattie's child, the general opinion Of
those who are conversant with the facts u.s.
that he did all he could to prevent it. The
CaledoniaR says -
When Shea found he could not stop the
train. Git was heavy one, of twGDty-four
loaded cars, with but five brakes on the
train he ran out upon the front of the en-
CINE, hoping to save the child, but the long
wooden cow-catcher prevented him from
reaching it. 1t is the opinion of more expe-
rionced engineers that he could not have
stopped his train, under the circumstances,
although if he had realized when he first saw
the object on the track, that it was child
that would not get off of his own accord, per-
haps he might have done so. But when he
first saw the child he was lying down between
the rails, playingin the dirt, and Shea thought
it was Il dog, until he came too near to stop
the train.-
Mr.. Shea was young man OF good char
acter, and much respected by those who
knew him. He has brother who is also
an engineer, and was the son Of Michael
Shea, section-man long in the employ OF
the road. His funeral took place on Satur-
day afternoon, his remains being inferred
in the Catholic Cemetery.
