Charles H. Giberson, M. D

We copy the following obituary notice from the Brooklyn (N.Y.) Daigle Eagle, of April 19th.
The deceased, well known to, and respected by, many of our readers, was
a son of the late Murphy Giberson, Bath:
Charles H. Giberson, M. D., one of the most popular and prominent physicians of Brooklyn, died at about three o'clock this morning, at the residence, No. 98 Remsen street, corner of Henry. The sad announcement will be a melancholy surprise to most of his friends. His last illness was only of a few days' duration. On Monday last, although suffering from a severe headache, he drove around to his patients as usual, returning in the evening much chilled. On Tuesday morning he was unable to leave his room, but it was not until late in the afternoon that medical assistance was summoned. Peritonites set in, and the disease made rapid progress, in spite of the utmost skill and attendance. On Friday his life was despaired of, and this morning he passed peacefully away, retaining consciousness till near the close. There are few members of the medical fraternity whose loss will be more severely felt than that of Dr. Giberson.

Although a young man__
being in his 41st year, and having practiced in this city only ten or eleven years__he had, succeeded in building up an immense practice, and was one of the most honored members of the various medical societies. As a surgeon he had few superiors, and he was remarkably successful in that line of practice, some of his operations being specially important. He was much beloved, not only as a physician but as a man, and his sudden demise will be mourned far beyond the limits of the domestic and professional circles.

Dr. Giberson was born in the year 1838, in Bath, Carleton County, New Brunswick, in which he received the first rudiments of his education. After leaving home, at an early age, he began the study of medicine at Fredericton, whence he went to the Medical University at Burlington, Vt., from which he graduated, with high honors, in the 20th year of his age.

At the breaking out of the war of the rebellion he came to New York and offered his services to the Goverment, and after passing a most creditable examination
served as surgeon with the troops stationed on Backwell's Island. Soon afterward he was appointed surgeon on board the Tennessee, from which he was transfered to the Mississippi. He saw considerable hard service in the latter vessel, having been present at the capture of New Orleans, and attached to her when she was burned before Port Hudson. Directly after the close of the war he sailed to South America in one of the United States war vessels, and on his return was surgeon at the Naval Hospital.

Eleven years ago he resigned his commission and settled in this city, steadily securing a practice and acquiring a reputation which few physicians have secured in such a brief time. He took warm interest in the advancement of medical sciences, and was an active member of the King's County Medical Society, Physicians' Mutual Aid Association, New York Medical Historical Society, and the Brooklyn Pothological Society. For several years he has likewise been attendant surgeon in the Brooklyn City Hospital. He was also a member of Kane Lodge, F. and A. M., of New York. Deceased was a member of rev. Dr. Storrs' Church, from which the funeral will take place on Monday afternoon at 3 p. m.
He leaves a wife and four children, all daughters.

Mrs. F. W. Bull, with her musically, remarkable children Eddie and Morice, assisted by Mrs. E Phair, of Fredericton , presented a very pleasing programme, to a delighted audience, which, considering the state of the weather, was large, on Wednesday evening. Master Eddie, 8 years old, who has been declared in other places where he has appeared a wonder, and is undoubtedly a child possessing a phenomenal natural genius for music, played in a variety of duets (with his mother) and solos on the piano, showing great energy and precision of touch as well as an accurate ear, and sang alone and also with the younger brother Morice (4 years old) several pieces, including Captain Jinks, in character. Master Morice as " Admiral Dot " and " The Little Shoemaker," took the house by storm; he has a fine voice.

Sad-A correspondent kindly furnishes us the following:
Lakeville, May 15, 1879.

Mary Eliza Shaw, a girl about 20 years of age has been living for the last three years with James Savage, Williamstown; she was a niece of Mrs. Savage. The girl went about her work on Tuesday, apparently as well as usual , her health good and, although she was noted for her quiet disposition, she was as cheerful as usual on Tuesday. On Wednesday morning , Mr. Savage intending to leave home, rose from his bed about three o'clock.
Mrs. Savage also got up and went to the girl's bedroom to get a lamp.

When she opened the door she found the bed clothes turned down and one of her children who was in the habit of sleeping with Mary E. Shaw, in bed alone. Mrs. Savage told her husband that Mary was gone, when they commenced a search about the place, and a further search among the neighbors, until about 6 am..

They found that she had taken but a few articles of clothing with her; the dress that she had on the day before being in her bedroom. Continuing to search,
they found her shoes on the on the opposite side of the road from the house, on a path leading towards Haney's lake. The circumstances led them to the lake, and after a short time they found the body of the unfortunate girl in the water close to shore.

King was informed of the circumstances at once went to the place and held an inquest on the body of deceased.

The following verdict was returned :
That the deceased,
Mary E. Shaw, came to her death by wilfully drowning herself in Gowan's Lake, so called, on Tuesday night, the 13th inst., the hours of 11 o'clock p. m., and 4 o'clock m., of the 14th inst.

Selling Rocks For Hay
Mr. R. T. Worden lately purchased some hay which came from Carleton County, and yesterday, on opening a bundle of it, found two rocks in the centre. These were found to be 100 lbs. in weight, and taken from the 250 lbs. which a bundle of hay is supposed to contain, makes it about double the price to a man who is so unfortunate as to buy hay from persons who dispose of it in such a manner. A man in Fairville, who purchased four bundles from the same person as the above came from , also had to pay for a number of rocks.

This item we cut from the Telegraph of last Saturday. We had occasion to notice the discovery of a similar trick by one of our teamsters a few weeks ago.

We are exceedingly sorry that the fair fame of
this County should be made to suffer by the dishonesty of a few individuals, and we trust that the guilty parties will be traced and made an example of ; in this result every honest farmer in the County is interested, for buyers will become so suspicious that they will not care, without particular inspection, to purchase turkeys, hay or any other article raised in Carleton County which can be loaded with sand or rocks.

Another exodus from our County took place on Monday. The following left by train for Colorado, namely :

James H. Carr and wife, Miss L. Fisher, Messrs. Wm. Gartley, Wm. McClellan, Alex. Bell, Herbert Carr, Henry Carr, Michael Sharkey, Wm. Wilson, ___Thompson, Horace Hand. The last named from Bedell Settlement; all the rest from North Richmond.
The whole party are young, able and intelligent; material that Canada can ill afford to lose.-
But they have gone from ills they know to experience ills and successes they know not of.

We hope they will not be disappointed. It is not a small matter the loss from County of the means necessary for the transportation of those who leave us. It will cost this party, some $600 for their tickets alone, and their expenses on the journey will scarcely be less than $100 more. The party was joined by three more from Houlton.

Carleton County Court
The criminal case,
King against John, Robert and Jonathan Shannon, three brothers who live in Greenfield, for assaulting Joseph Holmes, was opened in the armoury on Friday. The assault was committed in a row over the ownership of a piece of land. His Honor Solicitor General Jones appeared for the crown and A. B. Connell, K. C. for the prisoners. The prisoners pleaded guilty on the second count, that of assaulting Holmes by throwing stones at him.
Mr. Connell made a strong plea for the prisoners, pointing out that there was bad blood between the parties and Holmes provoked the prisoners in the assault.
Mr. Jones briefly addressed the court.
His honor addressing the prisoners said,
"In the community you men have the reputation of being desperadoes. Your neighbors would not believe you under oath. I would be justified in sending you to Dorchester for three years; but, I do not believe in dealing harshly with any prisoner if there is a chance for him becoming a good citizen. You men should be good citizens. The three of you are well to do, having good farms and a valuable stake in the county. You must remember that you cannot do as you like; the law has arms long enough to catch you. Your cousel said everything in your favor that he could have said. He even asked that a fine be imposed. A fine would be no good in your case for you would pay it and continue, your bad conduct.

"I will give you one more chance. I do not want to have your farms neglected at this time of year. I will impose a sentence upon you and when you do wrong the solicitor general will see that the commitments will be issued. I will sentenced each of you to the common jail for six months but now let you go after you jointly and severally, enter into recognizance for $2,000 to keep the peace for two years."

The court then adjourned to meet at the court house on Monday. The judge said he would not go there but for the fact that the larger room was required for conve?ing the juries.

In the
King against Fred Ivey and Susie Cullins charged with stealing a horse pung and robes from various people from, the poor farm to Bloomfield Corner, the grand jury found a true bill and the prisoners were tried on Monday and Tuesday. His Hon. the Solicitor General appeared for the crown and T. C. L. Ketchum for the prisoners. The jury brought in a verdict of "guilty" and Judge Carleton sentenced Ivey to three years in the penitentiary with hard labour and the girl to two years.

Up For Theft
Fred Ivey and Susie Cullins of Richmond are in jail awaiting trial on a charge of theft. They were up before police magistrate Dibblee on Monday and he sent them up.

The Hon W P Jones appeared for the crown and T C L Ketchum for the defendants. The evidence went to show that Mr. Ivey and Miss Cullins were in town the day before Christmas and hired a horse from Gallagher Bros. The next morning the horse was found stand-on the floor in the livery stable but the young man and young woman were not to be found.

The other part of the story is that on Christmas eve, during the time Ivey had the livery horse out, Rainsford McClary of Bloomfield lost a pung and harness, Frank Black of the same vicinity lost a horse, a man named Gallivan lost a robe and whip. The matter was brought to the attention of Sheriff Foster who got after the culprits and at length with the aid of a United States officer he found them down near Bangor.

A change of Grooms
A pretty and romantic wedding took place Monday afternoon at the home of the bride, when Miss Lena Burtt, daughter of W. Burtt, of Jacksonville, was married to Norval Brittain, and the happy couple left the same evening for their future home in Enderby (B.C.).

Before the departure of Mr. Brittain for the west some years ago, he was engaged to marry Miss Burtt. The correspondance between the young couple continued until recently. In the meantime Miss Burtt became engaged to a prominent young business man of Woodstock, and the wedding was arranged for yesterday.

An announcment card was sent to Mr. Brit. in Enderby. He promptly sent along some presents to the bride-elect, but just as promptly followed the presents.

Arriving here a few days ago he arranged another date, one day prior to the proposed wedding with the Woodstock man, and carried his lady love off to his western home. Large crowds were at the train to bid the couple good bye. The groom is in the employ of F. H. Hale, ex. M. P., of this county, now in business in British Columbia.
