DESTRUCTIVE FIRES
TWO FINE HOUSES BURNED TO THE GROUND

Fire Thursday morning destroyed the fine residence of Mr. John Dickinson. The alarm was sent in about 4.30 and the firemen responded promptly. The fire had considerable start before being discovered and it was impossible to save the building. Scarcely any of the furniture was saved.
It is not known how the fire originated but it probably started from an open fire place. Both house and furniture were insured, the former for twenty five hundred dollars.
It was one of the best residences in town and the loss to Mr. Dickinson is a serious one.

William Armstrong, deputy sheriff, in a fire Monday afternoon lost his fine home and barns at Lakeville. Nothing was saved except some live stock. The loss is very heavy and included the season's crop which had been gathered, and a very large outfit of farming machinery.
There is a small insurance of twenty seven hundred dollars.

Alex Sproule, of Lower Woodstock, for two years past has been troubled with a tumor in the stomach.
He finally concluded to have it removed, and on Tuesday morning Dr. Gaynor, of Debec, and Dr. Currie, of Fredericton, undertook the operation.
The patient was placed under the influence of chloroform, and the doctors proceeded to cut into the tumor, which when laid bare, proved to be of such a character that the operators did not deem it safe to attempt to remove it.
The patient only lived some four hours after the operation; death was probably caused from exhaustion.
The deceased was some 42 years of age, and leaves a wife and four children.

A very fine crayon portrait of Mrs. Hale, mother of Mr. Frederick Hale, has been executed by Mr. W. A. Mooers, who is, without question, a first class artist. The portrait is copied from a small photograph, and is not only a correct imitation, but the shading of the picture is admirable.

Absence of hirsute adornment on the person of "Tim" Fields can be explained by using gasoline to start a fire. The particulars are not available, but missing eyebrows and a thinning of the genial "Tim's" glossy hair, bears silent testimony of his recent experience with a dangerous explosive.

Mr. Wm. Steers while engaged in chopping, on Tuesday, at Newburg, in some way by the slipping of the axe, inflicted an ugly cut directly in the knee joint.
Dr. Colter dressed the wound; Mr. Steers will, doubtless, have a stiff knee for life.

Dr. Reynolds met with a very serious accident on Saturday last.
He was at Mr. John Bennett's, Lower Wakefield, and from some cause accidentaly fell down stairs, breaking three of his ribs.
Under the care of Dr. Colter we trust to see the Doctor soon able to be about again.

Dr. Connell found it necessary to amputate the little finger of the left hand.

One day last week Mrs. A. Waldon, of Conliffe Ridge, Kilmarnock settlement, fell on an axe that she was carrying in her hand and cut a deep and painful wound in her knee.

A Sudden Death
On Saturday morning last Mr. James Ferguson, for many years a teacher in this place, died suddenly at the residence of his son-in-law, Mr. George P. Rodger.
It seems that he had not been well for some days, and that, early in the week, he had complained of not sleeping well and asked Mr. Rodgers where he could get some sleeping drops.
Shortly after this he must have procured an ounce of laudanum, all of which it appears he made use of between about Tuesday evening and Saturday morning. He went to bed late on Friday afternoon and when visited during the evening seemed to be sleeping. It may be that in the dark he unconsciously took an overdose to ease pain or act as an opiate.
He was 61 years of age. He came from Dumfries, Scotland, to this country when 17.
On Saturday, Dr. C. J. Morse, Coroner, held an inquest.
The verdict was: " That deceased came to his death by means of an overdose of laudanum taken to produce sleep and ease pain."
The above we take from the Amherst Gazette.
The deceased was father of W. C. Ferguson, Upper Woodstock.
