As Mr.. James Mitchell attempted to shoot
a crow one morning this week he met with
severe accident. In aiming his gun he
discovered cork-stopper was sticking in
the muzzle, and on removing it the gun was
accidentally discharged, the crow flew away,
and Mr.. M. found himself minus two fingers
on his left hand. He went to Belfast and

Sunday afternoon, March Doth, while sit
ting in the presence of her family at Maiden,
Mass, Mrs. Amanda M. Drinkwater, the
wife of Wellington Drinkwater, raised her
| hands to her head, spoke of the strange feel
ing she felt there, and bent forward as if
about to fall. Her husband quickly leaned
her back in the chair, but it was sorrowfully
apparent that death had set its seal upon
her Bending over her the stricken husb band
and daughter eagerly listened for parting
word, but it never come. She lifted her
eyes to those of the weeping husband and
daughter with an expression of tenderness
and love that spoke to them louder than
words that she was passing away, and as
she closed them, her spirit had returned to
! God who gave it. 1t was almost impos-
|
| departure of her whom they so dearly
| loved. A physician was called and
pronounced the cause of her sudden
transition apoplexy OF the brain. Mrs
| Drinkwater was the eldest daughter of Will
liam and Annie Drinkwater and was born
| here Aug. Z, 1917, being 40 years, months
and days old at the time of her demise. Mrs.

With the exception of the few years she had
resided in Maiden most of her life had been
passed here, where the circle of her friends

and unassuming in her manners, affable
and courteous to all, she won the respect
and confidence of everyone. 1t was in the
sacred precinct of her home where her worth
was deeply priced and highly honored as
kind, devoted wife and a generous loving
mother. Mrs. d. was a. firm believer in the
philosophy of Spiritualism, and nothing
