Drowned.—On Saturday night between 10 and 11 o'clock" a middle aged
jman named David McKee was drowned
by falling from the jferry floats on the
Western side'of the harbour. The body
I was recovered on Sunday efternoon and
'was broughfto the Dead Jfouse, where
J Coroner Earl held an Inquest yesterday. It was shown that /deceased was
under the influence of liquor on Satur-.
day night, and in one of his pockets
was found a I >ottle.of liquor. v .
"I Firf>in Carleton.-LA few minutes
j, _ before 12. o'clock last night a fire broke
out in a cottage off WinslOw street,
Carleton, owned and occupied by Capt.
[Caleb P^k. The fire (irs^made its ap-
ipearance in the attic' and had made
Mtt qt n considerable head way^ before it was dis-
U ^.1 v/j covered, so that tbrfamilv were able
to save very little of the/furniture in
the upper partxof the-house. Th© fire^.
men were very prompt in getting their
engine to the spot, but their efforts
seemed to have very little effect^on the
fire which burned slowly until the
supplied to order mwith despatch, and] building was entirely destroyed and one
or two out-buildings were slightly Ndara-
aged. Tlie house was insured for $800

the bridge leading to M. L. -Tacker's
Mill, raising the water 10 feet and carrying away lumber. Another occurred
on Wednesday following, breaking cup
the ice in the. river. Quite an excitement took place at East Brook bridge,
at 11 O'clock, p. m., on the return of the
people from a temperance meeting. The
ice suddenly broke up; came dowa th».
river at a terrific rate, and brought u*
against the-bridge, making a noise i it
could be heard for a considerably-ds*
tance, raising tne water, sweeping away^--
feri&es and piling huge ice cakes'in the
road. Several boys were on the bridge ,
at the breaking up of the ice,, who passed no more j okes, but speedily fled in
different directions. /AiV escapefXwith-
out much difficulty, except one Hibbert
Hannah, who was carried away on an
ice cake, and took refuge in an elm
tree, from which he was rescued some
time afterwards by Jas, Meginney, who V
bravely went, to his rescue-. Such a
a freshet was neyer before known by the
oldest inhabitants of the placsu" ''.
