MRS. GEORGE GOOD
Jane Woods relict of the late George Good died at her home in Jacksonville, last Tuesday night, and her body was interred in the Jacksontown burial ground, Thursday afternoon.
Mrs. Good was born in Enniskillen, Ireland, June 23rd, 1802, and was therefore nearly 93 years old. She came to America with her parents and family in 1820, and settled in Sheffield. In June 1826 she married George Good, and they settled in Burton, Sunbury county. They moved to Jacksontown in 1840 where she had lived ever since. Her husband died in 1854. They had seven children, five sons and two daughters, three of whom, Charles, Francis and James are yet living. She was one of those good, motherly, kind hearted christians whom to know was to love. There was no ostentation about her; a most sincere friend, and always frank to chide any appearance of wrong in any who held her friendship. She always enjoyed good health and lived in the enjoyment of her faculties up to the last. She was only confined to her room for a week or two.
They were among the early settlers in Jacksontown, and while she had watched the development of the country, she saw one generation and the greater part of another pass away. Her last days were as had been the most of her life, spent in pleasant and hopeful trust in the assurance of her Redeemer.

At Richmond, on the morning of October 29th. Mary, beloved wife of Joseph Harvey, in the 57th year of her age, leaving an affectionate husband and five dutiful children to mourn their loss, though to rejoice in her gain.
Mrs. Harvey has been in the fires of affliction for the last twenty-five years, but had with her one " like the Son of God." While still in the prime of her life she was seized with rheumatic pains, which continued till her whole frame became disturbed, leaving her for many years perfectly helpless. During her long and painful illness she manifested the most entire submission to the Divine Will. She knew that her afflictions were from a father's hand, and that her bitterest cup was mingled in love. Though, at times, not without clouds and darkness, she was still able to rejoice in hope of the glory of God. All her hopes were built on the finished work of Jesus, which sustained her till the last.
"These are they which have come out of great tribuation, and have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb."

WEDDINGS
Hartland, June 30, 1898.
The wily " Cupid " has been very successfully exerting his magic and resistless influence in our midst and has carried captive several of our prominent young people.
On Wednesday, June 29, the residence of Mr. and Mrs. S. Hayden Shaw was the scene of a very pleasant event, when, in the presence of a large number of guests, their eldest daughter Lana was married to G. Burton Nixon, a member of our enterprising Wood working firm, and son of Daruis Nixon, lumberman. Rev. G. B. Trafton securely tied the " nuptial knot "
Miss Alberta S. Tracey played the Wedding March as the bride supported by her father, entered the room which was beautifully decorated with evergreens and rich and fragrant flowers, in great profusion and variety.

The bride, attended by her little sister Marion, was tastefully attired, her dress being of changeable silk and wool in a pretty green shade. She had delicate primroses in her hair, and in her hand a bouquet of beautiful white roses, presented by her little friend Genie Gray.

Among the abundant floral decorations were some rare and fragrant Easter lilies, a gift from a friend of the happy couple, Mr. Jennings. The gifts were all useful and some very valuable, but too numerous to mention.
Mr. and Mrs. Nixon left on the four o'clock express for Beulah camp ground, via St. John, where they will remain a short time, after which they will take up their residence with us again.
As a result of their sterling qualities, Mr. and Mrs. Nixon enjoy the high esteem, and are followed by the good wishes of all their many friends.

TRACEY MILLS
On Monday morning, the 8th inst., this entire community was shocked to hear that Mrs. Gordon Nelson ( nee Miss Leitha White ) had very suddenly died. Some three weeks ago she was very ill, but at this time had so far recovered, that upon the morning she died, she was able to prepare the breakfast for her husband without help. Shortly after her husband went to work, she started on an errand to one of the neighbors. When part away across the field, she was taken violently ill, but was able to call for help, which quickly came, and she was tenderly carried to the house, but only lived a few moments.
She was the eldest daughter of Chas. White, the highly respected deacon of Tracey Mills F. C. Baptist Church, and in this sudden bereavement, he and the nearly heart broken husband, have the sympathy of the entire community.
For upwards of seven years our deceased sister had been a loved and honored member of the Tracey Mills Church; six of these three years she officiated as organist, a postion she was well qualified to fill; shortly after she was married, some ten months ago, she retired from that postion at which time she was presented by the choir and church with a very generous purse of money and a complimentary address.
The funeral on the 10th was very largely attended, the large church building being completely filled with people. The pastor of the church, Rev. A. C. Thompson, preached a very impressive sermon from the words " Be ye also ready." Elder Thompson's friends are determined that his donation shall not be eclipsed anywhere in this section as members of the church and congregation, who were unable to be present on that evening, keep calling and leaving their contribution, asking that it be added to the amount; nearly every family in the church has taken part in this good work, with some few exceptions. The amount now reached is $103.17, which, apart from the generous salary they pay him, ought to make him feel glad. His people evidently appreciate his indefatigable efforts in their behalf.

James Ryan went to St. John on Monday, where he intends to stay some three or four weeks. He left his son Nicholas in charge of his store, where it is said you can get goods very cheap.

D. J. Holder, who has been doing business in the dry goods and groceries line for twenty years or more, has sold his business and other property to Messrs. Wm. Wright and Chas. Fowler. Give Charlie a call sometime you are going by.

On Tuesday night, when the wind was blowing a gale, there was an alarm of fire which proved to be a chimney in David Hipwell's house burning out, with the sparks flying in every direction. The fire broke out in several places inside the building, but fortunately was promptly put out. If the house had burned many more would have burned with it. Mrs. Hipwell, whose health is not very good, was utterly prostrated from the excitement for some time, but has since recovered.

On account of sickness in her father's family, Miss Alice Jones, has given up her school for the time being. That department of the school is now taught by Miss Nellie Jordan, of Woodstock.

SHOOTING ACCIDENT
About 5 o'clock p.m., last Monday, a number of passengers got off the train at the Queen St. Station, and proceeded up Queen street. Among them was Major Vince, accompanied by Mrs. Geo. R. Burtt, of Hartland. When about the centre of Richmond street, and about thirty feet from the Exchange Hotel, Mr. Vince suddenly dropped his valise, and placing his left hand under the elbow of his right arm, turned around several times as though he was in sudden pain, and asked who had struck his arm. A number of persons were in the immediate vicinity, some of whom said they had heard a faint report, as of a revolver, just as Mr. Vince dropped his valise.

Blood immediately began to flow from the injured arm, and Mr. Vince hastened to the Exchange Hotel, and had his clothing removed from the arm. A wound was found just above his elbow on each side of the arm, which looked as though a bullet had passed through it. Drs. Colter and Smith were at once summoned and the wound, which proved to be only a flesh one, was probed and dressed. Mr. Vince was then removed to Dr. Connell's residence, where he is now doing as well as could be expected.

For some time the affair was clouded in mystery, and many conjectures were formed and rumors floated. Nothing of a suspicious nature was seen in the vicinity, and no cause whatever could be assigned for the shooting until Tuesday, when the following facts were made public.

F. H. J. Dibblee has a Silver Plating Shop on Regent street, the front of which is directly in range with Richmond street, and about 100 yds. from where Mr. Vince was walking when wounded. That day a self-rocking revolver had been left with Mr. Dibblee for sale. Just about the time of the arrival of the train, as Mr. Dibblee was preparing to go home, he noticed the revolver lying on the work-bench, and thought he would examine the lock before he left the shop. He had not the sligh'est suspicion of there being any load in it. He found the lock would only half-cock, and turning the muzzle towards the light, in range of Queen street, he looked in the barrel, which was but a short distance from his face, again tried the lock. To his great surprise there was a report, and a bullet was discharged, which passed so close to his head that some of the powder struck his nose. He thought the elevation had been sufficient to carry the bullet out near the eaves of the building. Mr. Dibblee did not hear of Mr. Vince's injury till more than an hour later, and on hearing the circumstances it at once occurred to him that the injury might have been caused by the accidental discharge of the the revolver in his shop. He examined his shop and found a pane of glass broken in the window near where the accident occurred.

Mr. Dibblee at once went to Mr. Vince and related what happened in his shop. It is supposed this clearly explains the mystery surrounding the shooting. It is very fortunate no greater injury was done. Mr. Dibblee's escape from a severe injury___perhaps death, was almost miraculous, while Mr. Vince's injury might have been more serious. The cartridge was of 38 calibre.

THE MILLS
There are now fifteen mills at work in Carleton and vicinity, namely, Messrs. Salter's, E. G. Dunn's, John Clark's, Wetmore's, Shive's , Rivers', Rankin's, Hamilton's, Cushing's, Goddard's, Long & Barnhill's, Millar & Woodman's, Randolph & Baker's and Baker's. These give employment to about 1,200 men. The owners find no difficulty in getting hands, the labor question, about which there was so much trouble in the first of the season, being at present never spoken of, so far as employment of hands is concerned. Although there are so many ships in port waiting for cargoes, the ruling prices for deals are much below what they were this time last year. In some cases shippers who have had vessels here for some time, offer comparatively high prices, as it would be cheaper for them to pay something extra than to pay demurrage, but this has no marked effect upon the general prices. The principals shippers of deals are Messrs. Gibson, Guy Stewart & Co., and McKean.
The following mills are now sawing exclusively for Mr. Gibson, viz :
E. G. Dunn's, Wetmore's, Shives, Rivers', and Rankin's. Besides these Mr. Gibson has several at Fredericton at work for him, besides his own mills on the Nashwaak. He always buys largely from other mills in Carleton and vicinity. Although the demand for deals is brisk, the mills are not turning out more than usual, about the same number of men as last year being employed. No extra hands have been put on, the large fleet of shipping waiting for cargoes apparently causing no unusual exertion on the part of the mill owners.
Mr. John Clark's mill employs 80 to 100 hands, and besides turning out a large business in laths, staves, shingles, clap-boards and boxes of different kinds. Messrs. E. G. Dunn & Co.'s mill has 82 men employed, and, as has been mentioned, is working exclusively for Mr. Gibson. There is no scarcity of logs anywhere, and it is expected that there will be deals enough to supply the demand. -Telegraph.

A dwelling house on Mill street, owned by Wm. Drysdale and occupied by Geo. Lee, was considerably damaged by fire last Friday evening. The fire was first discovered about 7:30 o'clock and an alarm given, Mr. Lee and his family had gone to his mother's, on Main street, immediately after tea and were not at home when the alarm was given. The flames were quickly subdued by the Fire Department, but the house and furniture were quite badly damaged. Mr. Drysdale had an insurance of $400 on the building, and Mr. Lee's furniture was insured for $250. It is probable the insurance will cover the losses. The fire originated in a flue at the rear of the kitchen stove.

A village is rapidly growing at the ferry landing, opposite Woodstock; some thirty buildings, mostly all new, may now be counted in an almost compact cluster. A bridge across the river would tend to promote the settlement, of the beautiful and fertile flat lying along the eastern bank, which would then afford most desirable attractions for persons doing business in Woodstock as well as those whose business is in Northampton.

OBITUARY
In the death of John Fisher, Sr., which occurred on Tuesday morning. Woodstock lost one of its most respected citizens. Mr. Fisher was born in the County of Cumberland, England, in February 1809. He came to New Brunswick in 1859, and purchased the property at Upper Woodstock, since known as Woodbank. Here he continued to reside until within the last three years, when he sold the property and purchased a residence in Woodstock, and retired from active business.
In early life Mr. Fisher was connected with the Episcopal Church of England. About forty years ago he became connected with the Methodist Church, in which he continued a most active and consistent member till death severed the connection. In the discharge of the duties of life, and in all his business transactions, his course was marked by the most unserving devotion to the principles of honesty and truth. "The light of a pure life is a beacon star of Salvation," and the records of Mr. Fisher's consistent life will endure longer than any other monument that may be erected to his memory.

Mr. Winslow forwarded the body to Mr. Carvell, Taxidermist, St. John, to skin and stuff. The stuffed hide was received here this week, and is on exhibition in Garden Bros. Drug Store. It looks as natural as life, and excites a large amount of curiosity and admiration.

Samuel Squires, of Kent, was killed on Monday evening, a short distance above East Florenceville. An Inguest was held before Coroner Dr. Hagerman, and a post mortem examination made by Drs. Wiley and White.
The verdict of the Jury was wilful murder, from blows by some instrument in the hands of James McCann, Jr.
McCann is now in custody, and will be examined next week, after which we will publish the important particulars.
It appears McCann and Squires had words and a tussel over a wagon cushion that Squires charged McCann with have taken. Squires and his travelling companion left and went on toward his home, but was shortly afterward over-taken by McCann and two other men.
McCann left his wagon and challenged Squires, who on getting from his wagon was immediately struck by McCann, and sunk down apparently dead from the first blow; after he fell, however, several wounds were inflicted.
Deceased was a man well known and highly respected, of powerful build, and able to take his own part under ordinary circumstances. His terrible death has naturally created an intense excitement.

POETRY
For the Sentinel.
THE RAIN
By Carrie L. Brown
Ah ! the rain,
Hear it splashing in the river,
See it make the foliage quiver_
Gracious gift from glorious giver,
Sweetest strain
In the harmony of nature,
Is the rain.

Oh ! the rain,
Falling now in softest shower_
Now with headlong speed and power,
With a rush of wind, and roar,
In`its train,
Drifting, dashing, hurrying, splashing
Comes the rain.

Cheering rain,
All the trees wave forth their branches,
All the glad flowers smile a welcome,
All the brooks and streamlets murmur
A refrain
At the coming of the cheering,
Pattering rain.

Welcome rain,
Memories of the past come with thee,
Of the glad lost days of childhood,
Dreams of home and youth's bright visions,
And the pain
Of the present with thee softens,
Welcome rain.
Wilmot, May 2, 1874

THE OLD HOUSE
By Carrie L. Brown
I sketched it one day in the golden summer,
Years ago, yet I mind the time_
The day had been passed in careless pleasure,
And at its close, at the evening chime,

I sketched the house, with its pointed gable,
Shed-roofed kitchen and windows small,
The little porch, with the door half open,
The hop-vine climbing over the wall;

The rose-hedge in the garden growing,
The lilac-tree with its fragrant bloom,
So tall that it almost reached the window
Of the chamber I used to call " my own; "

The well worn path from the porch door leading,
Trodden by forms that have passed from my sight,
The broken fence, the gate wide swinging,
The dusty road, growing dim in the night.

Beyond the house flowed the placid river,
With alders growing on either side;
And the birch canoe on the bank high lifted,
Safe from the kiss of the lapping tide.

" A simple sketch scarce worth the keeping, "
Perhaps_but I kiss the dull lines o'er;
Ah, the years that have passed in the world's stern battle
Since I stood that night at the old porch door.

A keen throb of pain at my heart is telling
That the world can never be to me
The thing it was in that long ago summer,
When life was young, and glad, and free.
Wilmot, Oct. 8, 1874.

N. B. Indians
Commissioner Farrell's Report on Their Condition Up the St. John River.
(Sun)
Fredericton, Aug. 23
James Farrell, Indian commissioner, has just returned from Edmundston from a trip of inspection of his charges up the river. He reports that there is a very marked improvement in the condition of Milicete Indians in this province for the last ten years. He has under his charge about 700 Indians, as follows:
Edmundston, 40; Tobique point, 190; Woodstock, 80; Kingsclear, 100; St. Marys 110; Oromocto, 50; Upper Gagetown, Apohaqui, 35; St. John, 18, and Charlotte, 20.
There are three schools, one at Tobique point, taught by Mrs. Killen, has 35 pupils registered; Miss Crowley teaches the Kingsclear school and has charge of 25 pupils; another one at St. Marys is now taught by Miss Rush, who has about the same number enrolled. The Tobique settlement is more advanced in every way than any of the others. The Indians have better houses, are more industrious than others. They have a comfortable sum to their credit at Ottawa for the sale of their lands and stumpage, on which they are allowed four per cent. per annum. They have a good chappel and a hall. In the latter they hold a dance every Friday night.
