manner on South Main street last
Fri1ay morning, took place from an uu-
occupied tenement on Asbburton street
yesterday. The body, no claim to which
bad been made, by any OF the possible
KIN OF the discouraged and rash man,
lay in a wooden coffin for some time and
the articles around 1t were simple and
strangely In keeping with the end the
unknown man had chosen for bimself.
Just as the body was when. following
the pi'tol ball. the spirit left it, was il
buried. and startling aid the traces of
blood that had not peen too carefully
washed away, make the countenance APP
pear. The interment was at the new
cemetery in Norwood.
PROSPECT FOR ooop TIMES BRIGHT.
Aliens Print Works, which have been
shut down for about a week will, un-
leae somet Hmm unavpoct banDan, s,os,
up next week. When this plant shut
down rhings looked a bit gloomy as the
help had been working only a brief space
of time, after a long shut down, The
hopeful spirit displayed everywhere dur
ing the latter part of last week, has
changed all this. Fletchers will, in q
very short time be running full time, and
the prospects for plenty of work at the
American Screw Compsny's mills has not
been better for many long year. The
other manufacturers of this section will
also soon join the merry procession to
prosperity.
