—Drowning Casualty-^-A yonng
man, Edward Elms, of Bay Roberts
lost his life on Tuesday morning,
hy drowning from on board the
schooner   Louisa,  Elijah   Mercer
master. The craft was on her wav
from St. John's to Bay Roberts with
fishery supplies. When "jibing"
the mainsail, about half mile
off Cupids, the main-sheet broke
and the boom carried the unfortunate man overboard. All tbat
could be done to reecue him was
.lone, but to no avail. He was
about 22 years of age, and the only
?on and support of a widowed
wother. A gloom wan cast over
Day Roberts when the melancholy
news was beard, which damped
the jubilee celebration tbere.
—A case against an elderly fisherman of .Bryant's Cove was recently heardN-efore Judge Bennett.
The charge\was for stealing buoy-
ropes of lobster pott owned by one
of the local factories, which were
set near FeAther Point. The accused mac waa proven guilty, and
the judge was inclined to give him
the fullest penalty of the law.
The owner of the stolen property,
however, felt disposed to have the
accused let off, s course whioh His
Honor reluctantly acceded to, but
in doing so he gave the offender
a severe reprimanding, and expressed his intention to give tbe
fullest penalty in future. The
rights of owners of lobster-fishery
gear should be protected, and if
any further acts of similar damage
or theft would come before the
Court the offenders will receive
the punishment due to such unlawful acts. Other seasons the gear of
lobster-fishers have been destroyed
-and loss entailed thereby, but now
such acts will not likely be repeated when a heavy punishment
awaits the conviction of the offenders—a punishment which, we
understand, will amount to six
months' imprisonment (n tbs Penitentiary.
—Is Memoku-s.—After montbt of
painful lotTering, borne witb exempUry
Christian resignation to the Divine will,
o'clock, Louisa Trapnell, (wife of John
Trapnell. keeper of Her Maje-ty'tGaol,
Harbor Orace) leaving a husband and
ten children to mourn tbeir lots. All
that medical science and loving care
-.old do, wtt done to cheek tho falal
itette and spare her life; but all proved
_> be in vain. Wben it became evident that the mortal &ame matt yield
to the fell disease from which the was
suffering, tbe calmly, t-esl-rnedly and in
a spirit of Christian fortitude awaited
the end, giving advice to the different
members of ber family from time to
time, and tpeaking of her approaching
departure at if it were but on ordinary
journey. Sbe wtt of a quiet and un-
sssuming ditpotiiiou, yet her Oediy influence and example produced moat
beneficial retulu upon her family and
friendt. Sbe wot loved by oil wbo came
under the influence of her association,
and these who knew her from her earliest dayt can tcatify to her worth.
Her montbt of affliction are o'er.
Her dayt and her nigbu of diitrest;
We tee her in tngaltb no more,
She hu gain'd her happy release.
