Souris Notes.

Souris Bay has been all frozen over by last night's frost, but is breaking up again this evening.

On 25th inst. Messrs. Patrick & John McDonald, of Chepstow, Lot 45, saw a flock of robins (about two dozen). These birds were singing gaily, and having disported themselves for some time in Mr. McDonald's field, took their departure for the west.

Several deaths from pneumonia have occurred in the vicinity of Bayfield, north side, Lot 45. One case in that locality is a pecularily sad one; it is the death of Mr. John R. McIsaac, who had been attending and assisting about two neighbors who had been for some time sick, and finally died. Poor McIsaac soon afterwards took sick and died. He has left a wife and six infant children to lament their sad bereavement.

It is reported that Prosecutor Nicholson in company with a constable or bailiff arrested Mrs. Sarah Cantwell to-day, and procured $25 from her on a Scott Act Fine. – COM.

The above deceased were men of sterling qualities, and were much loved and esteemed in the community in which they lived. Much sympathy is felt for their bereaved families in this their hour of tribulation. The death of Mr. McIsaac is particularly touching as he leaves an aged mother, a sister, wife and five young children to mourn for many a day the loss of a dutiful son, a loving brother, a devoted husband, and an indulgent father.

The remains of the latter two were conveyed, followed by a large number of carriages, to St. Columbia church, where requiem masses were said for the repose of their souls, and thence to the cemetery, where the last sad rites for the departed souls were ended.

May the souls of the departed rest in peace and may perpetual light shine upon them. – COM.

Souris Items.

Mr. James Moynagh, jr., has opened a Navigation school at Souris, and we are pleased to learn that about a dozen young men are in attendance. It is gratifying to find our young men making an effort to become proficient in the science of navigating the trackless oceans. Under the tuition of Mr. Moynagh, who stands high both practically and scientifically, as a navigator, we trust that his students will profit much. Now that "Unrestricted Reciprocity" between the United States and Canada is likely to be consummated before many years, it is well for our young mariners to put themselves in a position that they may take first-class positions among nautical men.

Hon. Thomas Kickham is building another schooner of about eighty tons, and we have no doubt but the master builder, Mr. William Chaisson, will maintain his wide reputation for building first-class vessels. Capt. John Dyer is also building a coasting schooner.

We regret to learn that Angus McDonald, Esq., South Lake, who, about a month ago had his thumb pulled from the socket, by the reins, while driving a wild horse, and who subsequently has had the thumb amputated, is suffering seriously, and symptons of lock jaw are developing. – COM.

DEATH:
TOWNSHEND - Obituary
- At 7 o'clock on the morning of the 20th inst., at the residence of her daughter, Rollo Bay, an aged mother in Israel passed quietly away.

Mrs. John Townshend, the subject of this sketch, was born at the White Hill, St. Mungo Parish, Dumfrieshire, Scotland, on the 20th day of May, 1800. Her maiden name was Agnes Bell, daughter of John Bell and Mary Johnson Bell, of White Hill. She came to this country when 19 years of age in the brig, Jessie, Captain Fife. Shortly after her arrival she was married to the late John Townshend, brother of the Rev. Canon Townshend, of Amherst, N.S. She became the mother of ten children, five of whom survive her. Possessed of a sound constitution and vigorous mind, her life was spent in industry, in promoting the welfare of those entrusted to her care as mother, and in cultivating the principles of good will towards all with whom she was brought into contact as a neighbor. While her intellect remained clear to the very last, her memory of scenes and incidents associated with her early life was strikingly vivid. She loved to talk about the old country; about the good minister, the Rev. Mr. Jamieson, under whose earnest preaching she was induced to join the Presbyterian Church; and of the many ways in which the Great Shepherd Himself had kindly led her from youth onward to old age. She distinctly recollected having seen Robbie Burns' widow. She cherished with tender regard the recollection of the friends of her childhood. Quite recently she got a friend to write a letter for her to her cousin, John Bell Irving, Esq., of Lockerby, White Hill, Dumfries, from whom she promptly received a most kindly reply – one which she prized most highly, as he is about the only near relative now living whom she left behind her in dear old Scotland. She lived the life of a sincere and humble Christian, and died trusting in the merits of a crucified Saviour.


THE DAILY EXAMINER, MONDAY, MARCH 25, 1889
DEATH:
MACEACHEN - Sudden Death of a Merchant.
- We announce, to-day, with regret, the death of John McEachen, Esq., merchant, of this city. Mr. McEachen had been unwell for some time past, but was able to move about and attend to business as usual. Yesterday forenoon he was present at Mass in St. Dunstan's Cathedral, and after service took a short walk preparatory to returning to his residence. Just as he was entering his doorway, he felt himself suddenly growing weak, and fell. Kind hands came to his assistance, but too late to be of service. When Doctors Conroy and Kelly, who were hastily summoned, arrived on the scene, only his mortal part remained.

Mr. McEachen was born at Black Bush, Lot 44, on the 31st of August, 1828. In January, 1861, he married Annie Gillis, of this city, who bore him six children, three of whom – one daughter and two sons – are still living. One of the sons is practicing law in New York, and the other is engaged in busines in this city.

During the thirty or more years that Mr. McEachen was engaged in business in Charlottetown he made many friends. Quiet and unassuming in his manner, and frank and honorable in his business relations, he was in every sense a good citizen. For a number of years he was a member of the Board of Firewardens, discharging his duties to the satisfaction of all. He was several times urged to enter political life, but his inclinations were not in that direction, and he always declined the honor.

Mr. McEachen was an honorary member of St. Vincent de Paul Society, and in his death the poor lose a good friend.

To his bereaved wife and family, THE EXAMINER extends its sympathy.


THE CHARLOTTETOWN HERALD, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 27, 1889
DEATH:
MACEACHEN - DEATH OF MR. JOHN MACEACHEN
- It is our painful duty to announce the death of a highly respected citizen, Mr. John McEachen, Merchant, which took place suddenly on Sunday last. For some time past Mr. McEachen has been somewhat unwell, but was always able to move about and attend to his business. On Sunday last he attended mass in the Cathedral as usual, at ten o'clock. After Mass he took a walk towards the Post Office, and down by the Cameron Block till he came to Stamper's Corner; he then turned down Queen Street and went towards his residence. Just as he was entering the doorway he fell. His little daughter heard the noise and, observing that her father had fallen, she gave the alarm. Assistance soon reached him, and Drs. Conroy and Kelly were immediately summoned; but all too late; the spark of life had fled.

Mr. McEachen was born at Black Bush, Lot 44, and at the time of his death was 61 years of age. In 1861 he married Annie Gillis, of this city. Of this union six children were born, of whom three – two sons and one daughter – survive him. One of his sons is a practicing Barrister in New York; the other is in business in this city.

Mr. McEachen had been in business here for upwards of thirty years, and during all that time he had been, in every sense, a model citizen, and had made many friends. In manner he was quiet and unassuming, while his business relations were always characterized by strict integrity and honor.

On Tuesday morning his mortal remains followed by a large concourse of people, were borne to St. Dunstan's Cathedral, where a Solemn Requiem Mass was celebrated by Revd. Father McLean, assisted by Revds. John A. McDonald and P. A. Elmeel as Deacon and sub-Deacon, while Revd. J. J. McDonald acted as Master of Ceremonies. Revds. J. C. McDonald and S. T. Phelan also occupied seats in the Sanctuary. After Mass the clergy moved towards the coffin, where the Libera was sung and absolution pronounced. The funeral cortege then reformed and moved towards the Cemetery, where the body was laid to rest. To his bereaved wife and family we tender our heartfelt sympathy. May his soul rest in peace.
DEATH: CAMPBELL - At Fairfield, Lot 47, on the 18th inst., fortified by the rites of the Church, after a short illness of one week of pneumonia, Andrew A. Campbell in the 17th year of his age.

DEATH:
CAMPBELL - Obituary
- On the 3rd inst, at North Lake, passed peacefully away, after a brief illness of pneumonia, at the age of 72 years, Dougald Campbell, one of the early settlers of that neighborhood. The deceased was a man of more than ordinary intelligence. He was appointed elder of St. Columba Church during the pastorate of the late "Father John," which office he continued to fill with satisfaction to the parish until death called him away. He also filled various public offices, having been Commissioner of the Small Debt Court for many years, and a leading Justice of the Peace for the greater part of his life. In whatever capacity he acted, whether as a public man or a private citizen, he commanded the confidence and esteem of all with whom he came in contact. Of a genial and hospitable disposition, he was a general favorite in the neighborhood; and many, both old and young, will cherish his memory in kindly remembrance in the years to come. His funeral was attended by Protestants and Catholics alike, all feeling that in his death the community had lost an upright and obliging neighbor whose place cannot easily be filled. In the absence of the pastor, who was unavoidably absent owing to the death of his father, the funeral services were conducted by Rev. Gregory McDonald, of St. Margaret's. To the bereaved family THE EXAMINER tenders its sympathy.

"They that sow in tears shall reap in joy."

THE DAILY PATRIOT, SATURDAY, APRIL 20, 1889

An Islander in Oregon.
FORTY-FOUR YEARS AWAY - HIS FIGHTING THE INDIANS WITH SHERIDAN, AND SEEING SIXTEEN OF THE SAVAGES HANGED AND BURIED - HIS NARROW ESCAPE, &c., &c.

I was resting on Portland Heights, looking at the city, embowered below, at the little narrow river 100 miles from the ocean, at the monster ships, and at Mount Hood, apparently so near, when I saw approaching an elderly man about 65. He was about 6½ feet in height, strong and very powerfully built, and to appearance would at 25 or 30 be a match for any one in strength and endurance. We spoke, and to my astonishment, he told me his name was James McDonald, Donald's son, of Hillsboro River, and that he had left the Island in 1845, and that since leaving, he has not either been back, or written home. We talked for two hours or more, and I informed him all I knew about the friends and acquaintances of the East River, about the Macdonalds of Tracadie, about the late John Small and many others of Ch'town. The strong, old man listened with peculiar interest, and when I wondered that he had not taken a run home to see his people, a tear stood in his large kindly blue eye.

"I left the Island," he said, "in 1845, and lumbered at Miramichi for three years, for three different firms, and lost all my wages, and then went to the State of Maine, and there joined a company to build a ship to go round the Horn to California. We finished and fitted her out completely, loading her with lumber and sailed in March, 1850. She was called the California Packet, 600 tons, and we owed $10,000 on vessel and cargo, in Boston, secured by mortgage. Nothing particular happened on the voyage excepting that once a privateer bore down on us, but seeing nothing but lumber, the Lieutenant who came on board bid us a pleasant voyage and left. We called at Rio and Valparaiso, and at the latter place could have sold our cargo well, but we decided to push on to our destination, and on arriving at San Francisco everything was glutted and the ship and cargo sold for $5,000. Six months afterwards lumber that was down to $15 rose to $100 per m. I worked at odd jobs for two months, doing fairly well, and then left San Francisco in the brig Minerva for Umpqua, and there hired with a Company, "Winchester & Paine," putting my money, $300, in their hands and lost it all. I then worked about for six months and bought a pack mule for $80 and went packing and getting 10c a lb. for every thirty-five miles. I carried groceries and dry goods, and would ride on my returning. I bought another mule and so on until I was the owner of twenty, and a horse, in 1855. In 1854 I purchased a farm of 320 acres and improvements in Umpqua Valley, Douglas Co., and have it yet, and also some other 300 acres which are worth $8,000, but not free from some incumbrances. In 1861 and '62, through a hard winter and terrible frost I lost $30,000 worth of stock. In 1853 the Rogue River Indians, Jackson Co., commenced killing the whites and burning their dwellings, and spreading desolation far and wide. The Government called for volunteers, and I went with my pack train of eight mules 100 miles. Lindsey Applegate was captain of the company I was with, and we were well armed with rifles, revolvers and bowie knives, but before we reached there, the fight was over, and the Indians had gone into the forests. General Lane, who was in command, got wounded. Something of a treaty was shortly after made, but in 1855 the war broke out again, north and south, and I hired with the quarter master my 16 mules at $4 a day each. We started from Cornwallis, 130 miles to Kenyon Vale, and got to the Cascades, 25th March '56, the evening before the massacre. I was camped with one man but not noticed, when the Yakima Indians about daylight attacked the steamer Mary. The steamer narrowly escaped being captured with all on board, but my mules and all their equipments and supplies fell into the savages' hands. I had a narrow escape, as the two of us were chased by three or four blood-thirsty rascals, and overtaken, but I was more than a match at close quarters for any two of them in a case of life or death, and so we managed after tying and gagging them, to get clear. The man who was with me was as strong as a bear. The Indians burnt everything they could get to destroy at the Upper Cascades, on the Washington side of the Columbia, excepting the blockhouse, and they killed several whites, men and women. Sheridan was in command of the blockhouse, and had a few soldiers with him. General Wright was on his way to Yakima but turned back with his troops, fighting the Indians and raised the blockade, hanging sixteen of the leaders. They were tried then and there, one at a time, and sentenced, and stood on a barrel under a limb of a tree with the rope round their necks, the barrel knocked away and then buried. One Indian did not die after being cut down, and had six shots put into him. The Indian Agents' Store was also burnt. It was a sad sight, said Mr. McDonald, to see the rascals hung, but extreme measures had to be resorted to, or all the white settlers over Oregon and Washington Territory at that time would have been killed. "I would like," Mr. McDonald further said, to see the Island once more, although I fear I would be there a stranger and hardly know any one."

Portland, Oregon, April 11, 89.


THE DAILY PATRIOT, MONDAY, APRIL 29, 1889
DEATH:
MACDONALD - OBITUARY
- To-day it is our painful duty to announce the death of Rev. Angus Macdonald, who departed this life this morning at 6 o'clock. He was the son of Angus Macdonald and Mary Campbell, both natives of P. E. Island, and was born at Fairfield, East Point, Nov. 4, 1830. The deceased was baptized in the church of Saint Columba, and began his academic course in the Central Academy, Charlottetown, in 1845. In 1852 he went up to Grand Seminary, Quebec, and was ordained priest on 21st Nov., 1855. Soon after the ordination he was made Rector of St. Dunstan's College, in the rebuilding of which, in brick, he took an active part. He was Rector of that institution for fifteen years, during which period it was in a most flourishing condition. Many of the leading men of P. E. Island and the neighboring provinces, were educated at that institution, and look back with warm affection on the brilliant rector of that time.

On leaving St. Dunstan's, Father Macdonald was appointed in 1871 to the mission of Fort Augustus, where he built the Church of St. Patrick and the Parochial House. After his departure from Fort Augustus he was for some years in charge of St. Patrick's, Grand River, Lot 14, and St. Bridget's, Lot 11. He then, owing to ill health, went to Rustico, where he was associated with the Rev. R. P. McPhee in the care of the missions of St. Augustine and Hope River.

The disease of which Rev. Mr. McDonald died, was, we regret to hear, cancer of the stomach. The editor of this paper was a fellow student of his at the old Central Academy, and always held him in high esteem for his ability, scholarship and christian courtesy.

DEATH:
MACPHEE - DEATH OF REV. PIUS McPHEE
- It is our sad duty to-day to record the death of Rev. Pius McPhee which took place suddenly at Tracadie, last night, the 2nd inst. He came to Charlottetown from Rollo Bay on Monday morning last, and on the same afternoon went as far as Tracadie to spend a few days with Father McIntyre, before returning east. He was in as apparent good health as he had been of late; but about midnight last night word was brought to the Episcopial Palace here that he had died suddenly about ten o'clock. He complained of feeling very sick, lay down on his bed and a short time afterwards expired.

The Rev. Pius McPhee, son of Angus McPhee and Mary McInnis, both natives of Uist, in the Western Highlands of Scotland, was born at St. Andrew's, in this Island, on the first of May 1820. He was baptized by Bishop McEachern, from whom he also received his first Communion in 1832. From 1832 to 1837 he prosecuted his studies in St. Andrew's College, which had been founded by Bishop McEachern in 1830. In 1839 he went to the Seminary at St. Hyacinthe, in the Province of Quebec, where he pursued his ecclesiastical studies. He returned to the Island in 1844, and on the 20th of August of that year, was ordained priest by Bishop McDonald, in St. Augustine's Church, Rustico.

In the following year he was appointed pastor of the district comprising St. Columba's, East Point; St. Margaret's, Bear River, and St. Mary's, Souris. In 1853 Father McPhee was transferred to the pastorate of St. Andrew's, St. Peter's and St. Bonaventure's, Tracadie. For some years past, on account of ill health, he had not been engaged in the active duties of the ministry.

During his pastorate of the eastern section of the Island, he built the churches of St. Columba, East Point; St. Mary's, Souris, and commenced that of St. Margaret's, Bear River. He was a warm-hearted, generous priest, and during his missionary career endured many hardships from cold and exposure which told severely on his physical constitution, and caused him intense suffering from rheumatism in his latter years. His numerous friends among the clergy and laity will be exceedingly sorry to learn of his demise. His funeral takes place tomorrow. May his soul rest in peace.

THE DAILY PATRIOT, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 1889
MACDONELL MACDONNELL

Father McDonell, S.J.
(From the Catholic Weekly, Troy, N.Y., 24th August, 1889.)

Recently the Jesuit Fathers purchased Keyser Island in Long Island sound, near South Norwalk, on which suitable structures will be erected to serve as a retreat. Of this institution Father Loyzance, formerly of St. Joseph's Church, this city, has been appointed superior and his former co-frere Father McDonell associated with him. The removal of this good, apostolic priest from this city is a severe blow to the Catholic Weekly. Appreciating its value he was tireless in urging the members of St. Joseph's parish to purchase it, and to him and his pen we owe much gratitude for the religious contributions. His ambition was to make it a live and exceptional Catholic journal. Beginning its life in St. Joseph's parish, he watched paternally over it till his removal. Our readers therefore will understand that under these circumstances his departure comes to us with the sense of a personal loss. One thought consoles us, that we have ever earnestly striven to merit the good will of our spiritual guides, and this endeavour may, perhaps, now warrant other good priests to interest themselves in the welfare of the Catholic Weekly even as Father McDonell was pleased to do. [The Father McDonell alluded to above is a brother of Mrs. Brenan and of the late John A. McDonell, Esq., Donaldston.]

DEATH:
MACDONALD - Death of Great-Grand-Daughter of Flora Macdonald.
- Two weeks ago the little village of Joueyen Josas witnessed an impressive and touching ceremonial in the funeral of Madame la Marechale de Canrobert nee Macdonald – wife of the distinguished French marshal – who, a few days previously, after a long and painful illness, breathed her last at her country residence near Versailles. Much sympathy was felt for the bereaved marshal, who, overcome with grief, walked immediately behind the hearse leaning upon the arm of the Princess Mathilde. Following were the marshal's two sons, and Captain Barker, of the British army, nephew of the deceased. The imperial party was largely represented. Among those forming the sad procession were Prince Joachin Murat, who represented her imperial majesty the Empress Eugenie, and Count Henry and Baron Brunet, who attended respectively on behalf of Prince Victor and Prince Jerome Napoleon, Marshal Macmahon, representing the French army, assisted his old comrade in receiving the numerous friends who attended the sad obsequies, and a large contingent of officers from Versailles garrison were present. Madame Canrobert was one of the most beautiful and brilliant women whose presence graced the court of the second empire, the Empress Eugenie counting her amongst her most attached and faithful friends. Though Madame Canrobert lived the greater part of her life in France, her thoughts were by no means weaned from the land of her forefathers, and her feelings were those of sincere attachment to the Isle of Skye. Madame Canrobert was the daughter of the late Captain Ranald Macdonald of Flodigarry, Skye (4th Bengal Native Infantry), whose father, Captain James Macdonald of Flodigarry, was fourth son of the celebrated Flora Macdonald. – Inverness (Scotland) Chron.

BRECKEN-HODGSON - Sudden Death of Mrs. E. J. Hodgson.
- Mrs. Hodgson, wife of E. J. Hodgson, Q.C., of Charlottetown, P. E. Island, died somewhat suddenly at the Royal hotel, Saturday. Mrs. Hodgson left home about two weeks ago accompanied by her niece, Miss Wright.

After spending a couple of days in this city they proceeded to Fredericton, returning here again on Monday last. On Wednesday Mrs. Hodgson was taken quite ill and Dr. Holden was summoned and he found that she was suffering from an attack of inflammation of the lungs. Mr. Hodgson was informed by telegraph and he reached here Thursday night. Saturday morning no serious result being apprehended, Miss Wright left for her home in Charlottetown. During the morning Mrs. Hodgson took a turn for the worse and died quite suddenly – so suddenly that Mr. Hodgson, who had occasion to leave the hotel for a few minutes, found her a corpse when he returned.

Mrs. Hodgson was a sister of Postmaster Brecken of Charlottetown and a lady highly esteemed by all who knew her. Mr. Hodgson has the sympathy of the citizens in his sad bereavement.

The remains will be taken to Charlottetown this morning, a funeral service being held in the Mission church at 6.30 o'clock. – St. John Sun, Monday.

Tracadie Notes.
——–——

Perhaps there is no part of the Island within so small a radius can boast of so many hale old people as in Tracadie, commonly called the Sandhills. All, with two exceptions, are remarkably healthy. The men work in the fields with their sons and grandsons; and all of them, save three, were born in P. E. Island. The exceptions are Mrs. Powell, born in the County Down, Ireland – she is 87 years of age; Mrs. Butler, born in Ireland, aged 87 years; Mrs. Beaton, born in Scotland, emigrated to this country 63 years ago at the age of 31. She can relate many incidents which transpired in the Land o' the Heather 80 years ago – she is 94 years of age. This woman is remarkably smart, can knit, and makes frequent visits to her neighbors. The others are:-

This last-named lady was born in the western part of the Island, and can walk several miles to visit her children, grand-children and great-grand-children. She walked, a year ago, some distance to see, as she called it, "a wonder," a reaper. Mr. Allen Joseph McDonald, of Blooming Point, was cutting grain with a reaper, when the old lady, accompanied by one of her grand-children, visited him in the field, and was well-pleased with the manner in which the reaper did its work, but thought it might cut closer to the ground. When told that the field was "sown down," she said it would protect the clover.

A child 4 years of age, belonging to Mr. John McDougald, of Blooming Point, was accidentally scalded a few days ago by sitting in a vessel containing hot lye. The little fellow is recovering.

Many of the farmers of these parts are hauling produce to Cranberry, Mount Stewart and other points on the East River. The grain and potato crops are not as good as last year.

Some of the bridges in these sections are badly in need of repair.

The Blooming Point school is taught by Mr. Jas. A. McDonald, of Grand Tracadie.

The Pigott Bros., on the North Shore, have closed their fishing business for the season. They report mackerel scarce, with a fair catch of cod and lobsters.

Your correspondent was amused to see one of the sturdy farmers of Blooming Point, Charles C. McDonald, Esq., feeding wild fowl from his hand. Three or four bluejays have frequented Mr. McDonald's premises for the last four years, and are so accustomed to their "rations" that they alight on the head or shoulders of the domestics, and actually lay by a store of food for future use.

Many farmers in Lots 36 and 37 complain of injustice in the measure of potatoes and turnips, when shipping at points on the north side of East River. The old tub measure of 25 gallons is still in use at these places, whereas the new measure of 23 gallons, which is the legal one, is seldom used. The ground for complaint seems to be well founded and the error should be rectified.

This section of the country has materially improved of late, as can be seen from the very large acreage of land under cultivation and the numerous dwellings and out-buildings recently erected.

DEATH:
MACDONALD - Drowning Accident
- A very sad and distressing affair occurred at North River, Lot 47, on Tuesday last, whereby the son of John L. and Mary A. McDonald came to his death by drowning. Shortly before noon on that day the little fellow, who was a bright and intelligent child about seven years of age, took his trout hook and line from the shelf and told his mother that he was going fishing. A few hours afterwards, finding that he was longer absent than usual, his mother became uneasy and went to some of the neighboring houses in search of him. It did not occur to her at this time that he had gone to the shore, for although he had often been there with his father he was never known to go there alone. The search, however, in that direction was made. A dory was seen to be adrift on the river, while the footprints, corresponding to the size of his feet, were plainly visible in the sand along the shore. It became now only too evident to the heart-broken parents what had happened their child. The neighbors turned out and began searching in the river. About nine o'clock, with the aid of lanterns and torches, they discovered the body in about five feet of water, on the south side of the river. He was lying on his back with his hands uplifted and feet drawn up. The body was taken home, where an inquest before Dr. Muttart, Coroner, was held next day, and a verdict rendered in accordance with the facts. Much sympathy is felt for the parents who have been thus suddenly called upon to mourn the loss of their beloved boy and only child.

WHALEN WHELAN - Bled to Death.
- On Saturday last Patrick Whalen, of Baltic, Lot 46, went to the woods to cut firewood. He wasn't long there when he met with an accident that resulted in his death. While engaged in felling a tree his eyesight being defective, a misdirected blow caused his axe to glance and make an ugly wound between the instep and ankle, severing an artery from which the blood spouted freely. After some time he was taken home and the bleeding ceased. The wound was then tied up, but secondary hemorage set in, and about ten o'clock that evening he breathed his last. The deceased formerly belonged to Newfoundland and was married to a daughter of the late Edward Hackett, of Red Point, and leaves a large family. He was about 60 years of age, was of a kind and inoffensive disposition, and was well liked by neighbors and acquaintances. A large number of persons, shocked at the sad occurrence, and sympathizing with the bereaved widow and family, attended the funeral yesterday. His remains were interred in the Cemetery of St. Mary's Church, Souris.

MACDONALD - Obituary
- Departed this life at Pleasant Hill, Lot 49, on the 4th December inst., at the residence of Albert Boswell, Esq., in the 42nd year of his age, after three weeks illness which he bore with Christian resignation to the Divine Will, Allan McDonald, son of the late John McDonald (deceased), of Mount Albion, Lot 48. The deceased was a faithful and trustworthy servant of Mrs. Boswall for over twenty-five years, and by his fidelity, industry and moral worth, not only gained the esteem and respect of Mr. Boswell and family, but that of the community generally. The deceased was attended during his sickness by Drs. Taylor and McNeill, and nothing was left undone that medical skill could devise to restore him to health and usefulness, but all unavailable; death did its work. The deceased was followed to his last resting place, Pownal Cemetery, by a large concourse of people of different denominations, to pay their last tribute of respect to a pious and charitable member of society. Too much praise cannot be accorded to Mr. Boswall and family for the kindness, care, and attention paid to the deceased during his affliction. Indeed, Mr. Boswall esteemed the deceased as much as if he was one of his own family. The deceased leaves a mother, four sisters and four brothers, all of whom are absent from the Island, with the exception of two brothers, to mourn the loss of a dutiful son and brother. The deceased was a man of rare intellectual endowments, and a near relative of the late Rev. Angus McDonald, P.P., who was so favorably known by the public generally.

KICKHAM - Obituary
- Eighty-two years ago, in the parish of Fethard, County Tipperary, Ireland, was born the subject of this sketch, the late John Kickham, of Souris West. In the year 1837, with his widowed mother and brothers and sisters, he arrived in Charlottetown, and the following year purchased a farm at North River, where he remained until July, 1854, when he removed with his family to Souris West, and settled on land adjoining that of the late Alexander Leslie. Between these two early settlers the most kindly and exemplary good neighborship existed, interrupted only by death.

The deceased was a prosperous farmer. Being naturally of an industrious disposition, which trait of character was strengthened and encouraged through the frugality and prudent counsel of his partner in life, who survives him, he succeeded in accumulating considerable means, which he judiciously invested from time to time in land property within a short distance of the homestead, and on which he had the pleasure of seeing, before his death, three of his sons comfortably settled. He was the father of nine sons and one daughter. Personally he was genial, hospitable and considerate. To the sick and afflicted he was humane and generous. As a husband and parent he was kind and indulgent, and as a Christian humble and unostentatious. Fortified by the rites of his Church, and surrounded by family and friends, he peacefully breathed his last on the morning of the 3rd inst. To his aged mother and family we extend our sympathy. – COM.
