From Another Correspondent
/ AT about the hour of noon on the Sd
INST. an accident occurred, the fatal re-
suits of which cast a shadow over the
whole community Mr.. David Brown
and his son, Charles, were engaged at
work on Nj. Browns swamp lot, neal
what is know rs Fox Island, in the south
erly portion of the town. They had
drawn load of wood to the lime kiln at
Leicester junction and had returned for
a load of logs. Upon entering a new
road in the swamp, the young mau
thought it would not be possible to turn
a sharp corner with the Sleds; but the
father, thinking otherwise, he gave him
the reins and stepped back to the rear OF
the team. Mr.. Brown began to turn,
when the heavy binder, which had been
lying loose upon The sleds, became caught
at the forward end, and the sleds in turn
ing caused the rear end to swing as
though the binder was fixed on pivot,
In the course of its circular transit it came
in contact with two trees, and slipping
from these with great force, gave Charles
a crushing blow just above the right ear,
Telling him Instantly; then continuing
its course the binder, after striking anoth-
er tree, with force somewhat abated
struck MIR. Brown upon the left side of
the head. Partially stunned, he remem-
bers stopping the team and upon coming
ITO himself saw his son PROSTATE in the
jsnow. Upon raising him to sitting
4 posture he complained Of his head, and
soon began to vomit. AS soon as posi-.
BILE he was taken home in semi-cOn,
scious condition, and medical aid sum
moned. 1t was declared to be case OF
conclusion of the brain. and though nc
mark could be seen outwardly, an inter
nal hemorrhage had taken place in the
head, from the effects of which he passed
away about O'Clock on the morning OF
the lh, without having recovered his
consciousness after the fatal blow Thus
