PECULIAR
ACCIDENT
Resulting in Death Of a Baby at
South salisbury.
FELL ON HIS BOTTLE.
Nursing Bottle Broke and Sharp Point Of Glass
Penetrated Childs Throat Sevsrins
Jueular Vein.

a strange and fatal accident occurred
at the home OF Mr. and Mrs Clayton
s. Mattison in South SALISBURY last
week Wednesday evening resulting in
the death of their Is months old son
Everard.
AT his usual bed time the baby was
prepared for his cradle, and thenursing
bottle given him as hundreds of times
before. While the mothers attention
was necessarily given to other details
of preparing him for the night and
when she was almost in reaching dis
tance in some unacoountable manner
the child fell from the cradle upon his
nursing bottle which in breaking cut
him in the throat severing the jugular
vein. The mother caught thechild from
the floor instantly, and with the faith
er, who sat reading but a few feet
distant battled for the lie Of their baby
who peacefully passed away in its
mothers arms few minutes afterward
AT such a time little can be said
God only knows why SO bright and
loveable child was so called home.
He loaned the little life for a purpose
that has been accomplished, the sor-
rowing parents must find their only
comfort in knowing that the same
HanG that gave has been the one to
take away
Scarcely has any death occurred in
this section that has startled and sad
dened the community more. The ber-
eayed family have the sympathy Of
large circle Of friends.
The funeral was held from the home
on Saturday morning at ten o'clock.

miltecman. who received me pleasant
ly, but from my youthful Appearance,
very kindly said it was hard school
to manage, aud that the winter before
it had been broken up by the scholars
carrying the teacher out into snow
bank and the pupils going % their
homes. After some parleying, a large
proportion of the time being taken in
settling upon the monthly wages,
which were larger than had previously
been paid, and receiving the informa-
tion that the teacher was to board
around, " we concluded bargain for
school of three months. The school
began at the appointed time, and when
the three months expired, which COM
pleted the engagement, the committee
desired that it be continued another
month, which was very gratifying to
the teacher, and the school closed with
good feeling and good will between
the patrons, scholars and teacher.''

gray haired gentleman came into the

pal of soak Grove Seminary" and
was one of the scholars in the district
school just spoken of some "A years

occasionally occurred in this and
