A YOUNG LADY SUICIDE.
On the middle prong of Big
creek, ON Friday, 26th,a daughter of
Mr.. Tom Williamson, Miss Mary
shot herself with a pis-
5ol, the ball entering her forehead.
ALI the family except her were out
N the field at work and heard the
report of the pistol about nine
o'clock, but not thinking of such
1 thing as her shooting herself did
not go to the house until twelve.
She was found up stairs with a pis-
tol in her hand sitting on the floor
lead, and there is no doubt but
hat she shot herself. She was a
young lady of some literary attain
nents and was considered very
,prightly. About four years ago,
however, she had a rising in her
lead, from which had she never fully
and it is thought that
his had affected her mind.
On Thursday one of the sad
lest and most shocking things hap
Dened in our school that ever oc-
,urred in its history. A son of Mr..
NJ. Houston, Eddie, about sixteen
years old, was on his way home APP
as well as usual and talk
ng about speech he expected to
get, when suddenly
he FELL DEAD
without uttering a word. His old
est brother was a few steps in front
and some of the rest were right
along with him laughing and talk
ing. He had often been seen to
fall before that way and they
thought that he was trying to fool
them, so they walked on and left
him lying on the ground. A min
ute or two before he fell he told his
brother that he would go across a
pasture after a horse. They did
not have to go but a few yards be-
fore turning a hill, and they did
not doubt but that he would get
up as soon as they got out of sight
He was, however, soon found and
carried home, but there was no
sign of life. Next morning our
school was called together and no
one ever witnessed more touching
scene of grief among FELLOWSHIP
dents. At 8 o'clock they marched
in solemn procession to Old Lynn
vile to take q farewell look at
their dear companion. He was
borne from Mr.. Houston's to the
by six of his companions,
followed by the family, the school
and the community, Prof Geo.
w. Campbell delivered a very APP
propriate and touching address
over his lost pupil, after which,
when the school had taken their
last farewell look at their lamented
and had believed his
coffin with tears, his remains were
carried out to the hearse. He was
buried in the family graveyard
near Campbellsville that evening,
The bereaved parents and relatives
have the sympathy Of the entire
community. How easy it is for us
to diel CHESTER DALE.
