Fatal Accident.


h. A. BithrO, brakeman upon the
mixed train south on the Passu npsic
road, leaving Barton at $50 last even
ing, fell from the top of freight car
about mile north of West Burke, and
the train run over him, cutting off one
arm and one leg. He was not missed
until the train reached Bugbee's, some
two or three miles above Lyndonville.
A search then about the train failed to
discover him, when the train proceeded
to the Vile and an engine was de-
spatched on the back track, and he was
found as above stated. He lived a few
minutes after being put upon the en-
CINE. He leaves a wife and three OIL
four children. 1t is not known how the
accident happened. 1t was a very
heavy train and heavy down grade.
There were but two brakemen upon it.
Bithro had hurt one hand quite Sc
verely day or two previous, and he
was using stick in the brake. An ex-
animation of the train when he was
missed showed two cars with brakes set
up hard, and this stick broken short
off. 1t may be that when the stick
broke he was thrown off.

Death of an Editor.

Rev. Franklin Butler, for many years
editor of the Windsor Journal, died last
Sunday morning, aged 65 years. We
have no particulars of his illness, but
think it must have been brief. Mr..
Butler was editor of the Journal for
quite a nrmber of years previous to
publisher McIndoe's death, after which
he became one of the proprietors also.
He'was good editor, making an excel
lent paper in every respect. He mar
ried Mrs. McIndoe for his second wife,
who survives him.

A Good Sized Fish.

When Mr.. c. B. Stone of Barton ex-
animal his -hnnlss set in Crystal LAX q
Tuesday evening, he found he had cap
tured a mammoth lake trout which
weighed 10 pounds This is the larg-
est fish taken in that pond for several
years, although some six years ago one
was caught weighing 18 pounds.-May
pond, so called, also in the town OF
Barton, is covered with fishermen, bnt
the trout are not biting this week, and
old fishermen say they will not until a
change in the weather occurs. If the
trout do not bite, it may be interesting
to know that the flies and mosquitoes
take hold first-rate
