He held an important office in the Montreal General Hospital for 12 months previous to his term of graduation, and performed its duties to the complete satisfaction of the medical staff of that institution. The kind and efficient manner in which his professional duties were discharged at the Bruce Mines is attested by the respect paid to his memory and the universal regret of the officers and workmen of the company at his sudden loss.

February 25, 1855 UNNAMED MAN - A melancholy accident occurred on Thursday last at the railway cutting at Tuck's Hill, about 6 miles south-west of Guelph by which one of the laborers lost his life. It appears that while working at the cut, a portion of the bank unexpectedly gave way, burying beneath its masses the unfortunate victim of the accident causing a life-destroying system of excavation. Every effort was immediately rendered to extricate him from his perilous position and he was taken out alive, but died in about two hours after.

BAKER (Stratford) - A shocking accident happened on Monday last in Mr. Huffman's factory in this town to a young man working there named William Baker. He was sharpening a tool on the grinding stone which is worked by steam machinery. The connecting strap caught him by the arm and raised him from the floor. He was carried round on the shaft five times and forced through the narrow opening between the shaft and the ceiling. The injuries inflicted on his head and limbs were of so fearful a nature that he became immediately senseless, and so lingered until his death which took place on Wednesday night. He was respected by all who knew him. His age was about 23 years, and he leaves a young wife in a situation that ill befits her to bear the shock of so sudden a bereavement. March 27, 1855 MIDDLEWOOD - Died in this city, on the 28th instant, Ann, wife of Mr. Joseph Middlewood, aged 33 years. Friends and acquaintances are invited to attend the funeral from her late residence, Bay Street, this (Tuesday) afternoon, at half past 4 o'clock, without further notice.

May 11, 1855 SMILEY - It becomes our painful duty this morning to record the sudden demise of Robert Reid Smiley, Esq., Editor and Proprietor of this journal, which sorrowful event took place at his residence, Victoria Avenue, in this city, at 5 o'clock yesterday. We can do little more at present than announce the fact of his death. For years he had been labouring under the effects of that slow but insidious disease, consumption, and in the summer of 1851 took a trip to Europe from which he returned, apparently restored to perfect health. During the past winter, however, he had occasional severe attacks, although almost up to the hour of his death, he was able to attend to business. On Monday last, he paid a business trip to Buffalo from which he returned on Wednesday afternoon and remained in the office until nearly 10 o'clock in the evening. Yesterday morning, he took suddenly ill, when medical aid was called in, but all was in vain. SMILEY - Died at his residence, Victoria Avenue, in this city yesterday, Robert R. Smiley, Esq., editor and proprietor of the "Spectator", aged 38 years. The funeral will take place on Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock. Friends and acquaintances will accept this invitation. May 15, 1855 NOURSE - Died at Cobourg, on the 4th instant, after a long and severe illness, William Nourse, Esq., aged 6l years, a native of Edinburgh, Scotland, and formerly of the Hon. Hudson Bay Company. May 18, 1855 BLOWES, KING - Blowes and King, two of the Townsend gang, convicted of the murder of Mr. Nelles, near Cayuga in October last, will undergo the extreme penalty of the law in Cayuga at noon to-day. Petitions were forwarded to the Governor from a number of the inhabitants of Haldimand praying His Excellency to spare the lives of the culprits, but it appears His Excellency and advisers could not accede to the prayer of the petitioners further than to commute the sentence of Bryson to imprisonment in the penitentiary for life. Blowes and King are represented as being totally, in themselves, in a manner far from consonant with their awful condition. The fate of these wretched youths creates little commiseration when the enormity of the crime they have committed is taken into consideration; yet they are to be pitied on account of their youth. What a solemn warning to headstrong and reckless young men who give themselves up to the worst passions of their nature and follow the advice of such desperadoes as Townsend, the leader of the murderous gang, who has unfortunately thus far escaped the vigilance of the law. May 21, 1855 BOWLES, KING - The bodies of these unfortunate young men who underwent the extreme penalty of the law at Cayuga on Friday last for the murder of Mr. Nelles were brought to this city on Friday night by their friends. The body of Bowles was conveyed to Dundas where it would be interred, and that of King to Toronto. We understand it would not be admitted on the boat and was consequently conveyed by land carriage. May 22, 1855 BARDWELL - On Friday afternoon last, one of the most deliberate and diabolical murders was perpetrated that has come within our province to record. Mr. Wells R. Bardwel1, a foreman on the Hamilton and Toronto Railway, was as usual at work in a quarry in East Flamborough with a gang of men when two labourers named James O'Donnell and John Hulligan came into the pit under the pretence of asking for work. Bardwell replied that he was full just then, but that he would give them work after a while when he got some more stripping done. The two men stayed round Bardwell for some time when Hulligan got him by the waistcoat in a sort of jocular way while O'Donnell who was standing behind struck the deceased with a pickaxe in the back of the head, which knocked him insensible, and from the effect of which he died about four o'clock the following morning. There was not the slightest provocation given and it is difficult to assign any cause for the murderous assault. An inquest was held before H. B. Bull, Esq., coroner, when the following verdict was returned: that the said Wells R. Bardwell came to his death in consequence of a blow of a pickaxe struck by one James O'Donnell wilfully and maliciously on the afternoon of the 18th instant, and that one John Hulligan then and there aiding and abetting in the same, and the jurors therefore find the said James O'Donnell and John Hulligan guilty of wilful murder. May 25, 1855 GRAY - Gray, an old man, sentenced to be executed in Montreal for the murder of his wife, has been pardoned. May 30, 1855 MCINTYRE - Died this city, on the 28th instant, of brain fever, Thomas McIntyre, oldest son of the late Mr. John McIntyre, aged 14 years. Friends and acquaintances are respectfully requested to attend the funeral this (Wednesday) afternoon at 3 o'clock from the residence of Mr. T. Gillespy, Sr., Market Street. May 31, 1855 WHALE - Died at his residence, in Burford, after a short illness, Mr. Robert Whale, Jr., of Liskeard, Cornwall, England, aged 24. June 4, 1855 GREEN - Died in this city, on the morning of the 30th of May, at the residence of his brother (Mr. E. D. Green), Mr. Henry Green, of fever, aged 23 years, lately of Pensax, Worcestershire, England. EDMONSON - Died in this city, on the 2nd instant, of consumption, at the residence of his brother-in-law, Mr. Robert Walker, Mr. Isaac Edmonson, aged 24 years. May 23, 1855 PHELPHS - Mr. Elijah Phelphs, a farmer in the Township of Pelham, Welland County, committed suicide by hanging himself, on the 16th instant. June 5, 1855 SPARLING - We regret to learn that a son of Mr. Joseph Sparling of the Township of Osborne met his death while cutting down a tree on Thursday last. The giving way of the roots carried the deceased into the air and then flung him back with great force, head foremost, against the trunk of the tree. The deceased was a steady and industrious young man and is generally regretted. June 6, 1855 UNNAMED MAN (Dundas) - On Thursday evening last, a man called at the house of Mr. Patterson, a farmer on the line of the Governor's Road, distant but a little way from the tavern of Mr. Nelson Elliot, and wished to get lodgings for the night. Mr. Patterson directed him to the tavern and offered him the means to pay for his lodging. This was, however, refused by the stranger who prevailed on Mr. Patterson to allow him to pass the night in his barn, and before turning in, supper of new milk, tea, and bread was given him. In the morning, he appeared very unwell and was immediately attended by Dr. Mailer of Copetown. Mr. Nelson Elliot, Mr. Patterson and many of their neighbours contributed to the comfort of the unfortunate man by waiting upon and administering to his wants. He continued, notwithstanding every effort to relieve him, gradually to sink, and died on Friday evening. His remains were taken in charge of and interred by these parties who certainly deserve the highest praise for their humane and generous conduct to the stranger in the hour of death. He appeared from his tongue to be an Englishman by birth, but what his name or where his home, in fact everything connected with or about him, save that he had been known to pass that way before, occasionally earning a little as he went by cleaning clocks, is enshrouded in mystery. Our informant could not tell us anything of the colour of his apparel or whether there were any peculiar marks on the body, whereby his friends and relations, if he had any, might be enabled to identify him. With the aid of the Press however, enough is perhaps stated to accomplish this, and with that view, it is hoped that neighbouring journals will pass the notice around. June 8, 1855 KELLOGG - Died in this city, on the 7th instant, Doctor J. Kellogg, aged 56 years. The funeral will take place from his late residence, corner of Hughson and Cannon streets, on Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock. Friends and acquaintances are requested to attend without further notice. DALLYN - Died in this city, on the 7th instant, Louisa, eldest daughter of Mr. J. K. Dallyn, aged 5 years, 4 months, and 15 days. Friends and acquaintances are respectfully requested to attend the funeral this day (Friday) at 5 o'clock p.m., from the residence of her father, Stewart street. June 9, 1855 RIDOUT - Died at his residence, Queen Street East, Toronto, on Wednesday morning, the 6th instant, Samuel Ridout, Esq., Registrar of the County of York, and formerly Sheriff of the Home District, in the 77th year of his age. CRAIG (Berlin) - On Wednesday, the 30th ultimo, an inquest was held by Dr. Scott, at Schaeffer's Inn, Township of Waterloo, on the body of William Craig. The deceased was a native of the state of New York, about 40 years of age, a hatter by trade, and had long been a resident of Berlin. He was a person of intemperate habits and on the day of his decease, it was proved that he was labouring under illness consequent on a rather protracted spree. About 11 o'clock in the forenoon, he walked out of Mr. Beacon's house and about half an hour afterwards, a neighbour informed Mr. Beacon that a man was lying apparently dead on the road near his house. Mr. Beacon immediately went and identified the body as that of Craig, but the vital spark was gone. The body was unnecessarily, in this case, allowed to lie on the highway until seen and ordered to be removed by the coroner. Verdict: died by the visitation of God. June 14, 1855 WOOD (Toronto) - A coroner's inquest was held on Saturday morning at Traynor's tavern, Spadina avenue, on the body of Isabella Wood, the wife of a pensioner in the Old Fort. It appeared from the evidence that a horse belonging to Mr. Crocker, baker, had been frightened by the locomotive as he was driving up Front street, near Brock street, and that Mr. Crocker was pitched out and knocked senseless. The horse ran up Front street on the sidewalk, knocked down and ran over the deceased, and from injuries thus received, she died a quarter of an hour after the occurrence. The jury rendered a verdict of accidental death. June 18, 1855 POTILLO - On the 6th instant, a farmer of the name of Potillo, who came last spring from Esquesing into the Township of Blenheim, having exchanged a lot in the former township for one in the 6th concession of Blenheim, came to his death under the following circumstances. It appeared that for some time, Potillo had shown symptoms of insanity, and his friends were about to take steps to remove him to the Asylum. The exchange he had recently made seems to have preyed on his mind and been a matter of regret to him. On Wednesday, the 6th, during the absence of his sons at the blacksmith's, the miserable man went into his bedroom. His wife, missing him, followed him, when he made the remark, "If you had stayed a short time, I should have been asleep". This, however, did not excite her suspicions as she left him in his room, and shortly after closing the door, she heard the report of a gun, and returning, found her husband lying in his bed quite dead. How a loaded gun could have been allowed to remain within reach of a lunatic is a question to be solved by the coroner. Potillo was a quiet, intelligent man and not addicted to drinking. HARVEY - Died at Ancaster, on the 15th instant, Janet, wife of Mr. Charles Harvey, aged 32 years. June 19, 1855 HEWITT (Georgetown) - On Wednesday last, the 13th instant, Dr. Cunningham, one of the coroners for the County of Halton, held an inquest at Gill's hotel in this town, on the body of John Hewitt, a young man in the employ of Mr. H. Maloy of this place as carriage trimmer. On the evening previous to his death, he was considered to be as well and in as good spirits as usual. About 10 o'clock he retired, his brother having previously done so, but had not yet gone to sleep. After he went to bed, he asked his brother to feel the palpitation of his heart, and how he was sweating. He did so, but thought little of it, and after talking for a short time, they both fell asleep. His brother was awakened about 2 o'clock a.m. by his struggles, and immediately ran to get Mr. Gill. When they returned, he was dead. The jury returned the following verdict: Died from a rheumatic affection of the heart. WILSON (Georgetown) - The young man, George Wilson, who our readers will remember was shot in the thigh be a man named Elliot, died on Friday morning last, 8th instant, from the injuries received thereby. Dr. Cunningham, coroner, held an inquest on the body, when the jury, after a thorough investigation returned a verdict of manslaughter. Mr. Elliot, who had previously bound over to appear at the assizes October next, was sent off to Milton. He is again, however, to be bailed out on an order from his honour, the Judge. MOE - Died suddenly, of disease of the heart, on the 15th instant, Emily Rosa Moe, wife of Cheeseman Moe, Esq., barrister, formerly of Lindsay, C.W., and sister-in-law, of Josias Bray, Esq. of this city.

MCKERLIE, HAZELL (London) - On Thursday evening, our city was thrown into considerable excitement by a report that a daughter, and also a servant of Mr. McKerlie of Westminster had been killed by lightning. On enquiry, we learned that the report was too true. The electric fluid had entered the house of Mr. McKerlie and dangerously, if not mortally, injured that gentleman, while at the same instant it killed his daughter, and a hired man, named Hazell, who was in another portion of the house. Hazell was buried yesterday. SCOTT (Ayr) - It is our melancholy duty this week to record the death of Mr. William Scott, jr., a young man well known in this locality, and a resident of the 6th concession of South Dumfries under the following circumstances. On Saturday last, he was taking his team into the field to commence ploughing, when by some means or other unknown, he was thrown from the horse he was riding, the horse tramping on his side or bowels, producing such internal injuries as caused his death on Tuesday evening last. From all we can learn of Mr. Scott, it seems that he was one of the most exemplary and consistent young men to be found in this part of the country. He was loved and respected by all, young and old, and those who mourn over his untimely end are to be found in all classes and ranks of society. His remains were yesterday followed to their last resting place by a very large number of mourners. ‘Tis true that in the midst of life, we are in death. UNNAMED MAN (Brantford) - An inquest was held on Tuesday evening last at Snookes' tavern on the Burford Road by A. H. Cook, Esq. M.D., coroner for the county, on the body of a man found in an advanced state of decomposition in a field of Mr. David Thomas, a farmer residing about five miles from the town. He was a groom in charge of the horse "Niagara". On Friday last, he left Haine's hotel, Mount Pleasant, and was not seen or heard of till Tuesday evening when Mr. Thomas, having occasion to go to the field for the purpose of cutting some grass, discovered the body lying in the corner of the field with his throat cut from ear to ear and a farrier's knife lying by his side. In consequence of the want of sufficient evidence, the inquest was to be resumed last evening. We have not at this time of going to press been able to learn the verdict of the jury, but shall in our next endeavour to lay the particulars of the case before our readers. June 28, 1855 KERR - Died in this city, on the 27th instant, Robert Alexander Kerr, infant son of Mr. Alexander Kerr, aged 5 months. Friends and acquaintances are respectfully invited to attend the funeral to-day from his father's residence, south side of Hess street, at 4 o'clock p.m. without further notice. June 29, 1855 WOODS - We regret to learn that a melancholy accident occurred in the Township of Innisfil on the line of the Northern Railway about 9 o'clock on the evening of Saturday last. A man named Woods who has been employed by Mr. Chesly, trackmaster, to work in repairing the road had erected a small shanty about two miles north of the Innisfil Station, and while his wife was at the store in the evening in question, Woods himself went to a neighbour's to get some milk, leaving his two children, aged seven and nine years respectively, the only occupants of the shanty. On his return, he observed the place in flames, and his first act was to rush in and search the bed for his children, but they had left it, and the smoke and flames in the place rendering his further stay dangerous, he left, supposing his children had escaped into the woods. But such was unfortunately not the case. It appears that when they observed the flames they hid themselves in their fright under the bed where their burned bodies afterwards were found. June 30, 1855 ROLSTON - Died in this city, on the 28th instant, Susan Lavinia, youngest daughter of Mr. Joseph Rolston, aged 22 years. Friends and acquaintances are invited to attend the funeral from her father's residence, Peel street, this (Saturday) afternoon, at 3 o'clock:. CAMPBELL - Died in this city, on the 29th instant, Angus, eldest son of Mr. Robert Campbell, aged 4 years and 5 months. Friends are requested to attend the funeral to-morrow (Sunday) from his father's residence on John street. HODGES - Died on the 22nd ultimo, at 15 Arthur Street, Hulme, Manchester, aged 66, Mr. Thomas Hodges, late Sergeant of the Light Company, 102nd Regiment, eldest son of the late Mr. Richard Hodges. Deceased had lost his right arm at the storming of Fort Erie under the command of Captain Elliot, was a valiant soldier respected by his captain and beloved by his comrades. EDWARDS - Died on the 11th ultimo, in his 23rd year, before Sebastapol, while gallantly leading his men against a formidable attack of the Russians, Captain R. Lloyd Edwards, of the 68th Regiment, eldest son of Richard Lloyd Edwards, of Nanheran, in the county of Carnarvon. July 2, 1855 CRAWFORD (Haldimand) - We regret to state that the youngest son of Charles Crawford, a farmer on the lake shore, was drowned in a tub containing a small quantity of water, age about two years, some time last week. It appears that the child was left alone in the room for a short time, and amusing himself by playing with some water contained in a tub, he accidentally lost his balance while leaning over the top of the vessel, and was unable to recover himself, in which position he was discovered quite dead. MITCHELL (Ayr) - It becomes our painful duty to record to-day the accidental death of a young man named Alexander Mitchell, aged about 22 years, who has been for about nine months a resident of this village. It appears that he, in company with one or two others, went down yesterday about 4 o'clock in the afternoon to Smith's Creek, a little below the village, for the purpose of bathing. After undressing himself, he plunged into the creek although warned to be cautious by those in his company, as it was uncertain as to the depth of the water and the nature of the bottom. After the first plunge he made, it seems he never again fairly came to the surface of the water, and the water in the creek being very muddy at the time in consequence of the late rains, it was nearly half an hour before his body could be found. When brought to the bank by a young man named Alexander Picken, who with others deserve great praise for the exertions they made to recover the body, Dr. Carr of Galt, who happened to be near at the time, and Dr. Morrison were in attendance, but the untiring exertions they made for his recovery proved unavailing as the vital spark had fled. Dr. Bell, coroner, having examined the body and enquired into the circumstances attending the accident, concluded that it was unnecessary to hold an inquest, as the cause of death was evidently accidental. The unfortunate young man was a native of Banffshire, Scotland, and, we believe, esteemed in this village as an industrious and worthy young man. He was a shoemaker by trade and in the employ of Mr. Hugo Cuthbertson. MANN - With painful regret, we have to announce the melancholy death by drowning of the youngest son of Mr. Moses Mann of Sparta. It appears that the boy, an interesting and intelligent little fellow, about 9 or 10 years old, instead of going directly home from school, went with a few other small boys to bathe in the mill pond owned by H. B. Welding, Esq. While bathing, the boy ventured too far in and was drowned. Little boys, let this be a warning to you to go directly home from school and to keep away from bathing places unless accompanied by older persons. July 4, 1855 REGAN (Three Rivers) - A young man named Denis Regan, a farmer residing in St. Monique, was drowned out of a canoe one night last week while crossing the River Nicolet. He was returning from a christening, and the night being dark, he unfortunately took an old split canoe, and not being a swimmer, was unable to save himself. He leaves a young wife and two children, both little girls. COOK - Died in this city, on the 28th ultimo, Sarah H., second daughter of Mr. William Cook, aged 11 years. July 5, 1855 ROBINSON - Died on the 1st instant, at his residence, on John street, Mr. John Robinson, merchant, a native of Greenock, Scotland. DENIS - The "Courier de St. Hyacinthe" relates that a woman named Charlotte Proulx, the wife of J. B. Denis, farmer of the parish of St. Hughes, hung herself on Wednesday last in her husband's barn. It appears that she and her family had lived for some time previously in frightful misery owing to lack of food. She had eaten roots in order to save what little bran there was in the house for the nourishment of her children. At last, in despair, she hung herself. July 6, 1855 LUXTON - On Monday night last, Annie Luxton, only daughter of Mr. Luxton, of London Township, was so dreadfully burned that she died yesterday after the most intense suffering. She had been engaged in lighting a fire in a stove when her clothes caught fire. The flames spread at once, and the poor sufferer fled in agony in search of her mother who was but a few rods off, but in the opposite direction. A neighbour with the kindest intentions ran almost immediately to assist the child, but from fright did little service. When the fire was extinguished, the frantic mother beheld her only child that but a few moments before was all life and health and cheerfulness, a terrible spectacle of misery. The mother is now in great distress and refuses to be comforted. The deceased was in her 12th year, and a most intelligent child, and beloved by the whole neighbourhood. MCGIVERN - Died in this city, on the 5th instant, Charlotte, wife of Mr. Edward McGivern, and daughter of David DeLong, of Norwich, C.W. Friends and acquaintances are respectfully requested to attend the funeral this (Friday) afternoon at half past 4 o'clock from the residence of Mr. McGivern, King William street. July 7, 1855 HATT - Died at Dundas, on the 6th July, instant, Janet, second daughter of Thomas Hatt, Esq., aged 7 years. The funeral will take place on Sunday next at one o'clock from her father's residence, to the cemetery Ancaster Church. July 10, 1855 PETTINGER - Died in the Township of Beverly, on the 8th July, at the residence of her son, Mr. William Pettinger, Mrs. Martha Pettinger, late of North Wheatley, Nottinghamshire, England, aged 72 years. LEARY - On Thursday afternoon last, an accident occurred which resulted fatally to a man named James Leary. He was working with five other men at a crane unloading some heavy boxes at the Locomotive Department of the Great Western Railway when for some cause or other not ascertained the crane canted over a little just as a box was nearing the ground. The deceased was occupied on the crane with the brake ropes and just behind him was a very heavy ballast box secured by wooden coins on a tram road. On the canting of the crane, however, the coins were not sufficient to keep the ballast box in its place and it ran down the rail against the deceased inflicting severe injuries on the back and ruptured one of the inward vessels. He lingered until 11 o'clock the same evening. An inquest was held before H. B. Bull, Esq., coroner, when the above facts were elicited and a verdict returned of accidental death. The deceased was a man of the most exemplary character, and leaves a wife and two small children to struggle through the world without his aid and guidance. July 12, 1855 MOFFAT - Died at Ancaster, on the 11th instant, Ellison, fourth daughter of Mr. William Moffat, aged 5 years and 7 months. UNNAMED MAN - On Saturday evening last, at 11:30 , as the mail train on the Great Western Railway was coming east three miles west from London, the fireman of the engine "Spitfire" while oiling the valves on the fore part of the engine, thought he saw a man lying on the track, and before he had time to give warning, the engine ran over him. Upon arriving at the station at London, a piece of shirt and some blood were observed on the cow catcher, which confirmed the fireman's suspicions. Dr. Wanless, coroner, was sent for who held an inquest over the body The body was in such a mutilated condition that Officer Hes was despatched to the scene of the accident for the purpose of collecting the fragments of the skull. The head of the unfortunate man was cut off, and his legs smashed to pieces. A ginger beer bottle, half filled with whiskey, was found within a few yards of the deceased on the track. The jury, after due consideration, returned the following verdict: that the deceased male person, at present unknown, came to his death in consequence of wounds and bruises inflicted upon his body by the engine "Spitfire", and that the dead male person, at present unknown, was in a state of intoxication. There was no blame whatever attached to the engine driver. July 13, 1855 JONES - Died in this city, on the 12th instant, Margaret, wife of Mr. William Jones, aged 35 years. Friends and acquaintances are invited to attend the funeral from her late residence, West avenue, on Saturday afternoon, at 3 o'clock. WALSH - We are sorry to state that a very interesting little boy, about 10 years old, named Charles Walsh, brother of Mr. Richard Walsh of the "Mail", was drowned at the slip at Niagara on Friday last. A number of boys had been bathing, we understand, and this little fellow with some others was standing on some boards near the edge of the slide, and one of the boys gave him a shove that sent him into the water. He sank immediately, and the body, we are informed, had not been recovered on Saturday afternoon. It is supposed his head struck against one of the posts or piles sunk in the water, and that he was so much stunned as to be unable to rise. July 14, 1855 DUGGAN - Died in Hamilton, on the 13th July, Eliza, infant daughter of Dr. T. Duggan, aged 40 days. July 16, 1855 DORMAN (Woodstock) - One of those melancholy accidents arising from poison being taken for medicine occurred in this town on Wednesday morning last. Mrs Dorman of the Pavilion Hotel took a dose of strychnine which she kept for the purpose of poisoning mice thinking it to be a powder left by her medical attendant, and died in consequence a few hours afterwards. An inquest was held and the jury returned a verdict to the effect that the deceased came to her death by taking in mistake a portion of strychnine instead of another powder that had been prescribed by a medical practitioner. July 17, 1855 ROSENBAND - Died on the 15th instant, at Preston, Martha, youngest daughter of Mr. L. Rosenband, aged 9 months. BURDAN - Mrs, Burdan, of Southwold, County of Elgin, was accidentally killed on the 4th instant, by being thrown from a waggon while riding with another lady. THOMPSON - A farmer, named David Thompson, living near Brantford, committed suicide last week by cutting his throat. STARKIE - A melancholy accident occurred on Thursday last at the building of the Court House in Sandwich which deprived a workman of the name of Starkie of life and has bereft his wife and little infants, the oldest of whom is only 5 years old, of their only visible means of support. A subscription has been opened in Sandwich for their relief, and we are sure that many of our citizens will be willing to give some aid in so urgent a case, in so holy a cause as the relief of the widow and orphan. Mr. Weaver has undertaken the management of the fund, and Mr. McEwan will kindly receive subscriptions in Windsor. CURLEY (Toronto) - A boy about 11 years of age named Lawrence Curley was drowned in the Bay opposite the circus ground last evening. He had gone to bathe with a number of other boys and not being able to swim, got on a log on which he floated out beyond his depth, and slipping from it, was drowned. An hour elapsed before his body was recovered, although every effort was made. July 18, 1855 KENNEDY - A fatal accident unfortunately occurred at the Orange celebration at Newcastle, on the 12th. Two Lodges, having arrived at Newcastle from the village of Clark, several salutes were fired, and a young man, named Swanton, secretary of one of the Lodges, having discharged his pistol without elevating it sufficiently, the ball entered the head of Mr. Kennedy, killing him instantaneously. July 19, 1855 COYNE (London) - We regret, to state that a boy about 12 years of age, son of Mr. Thomas Coyne, tanner, of this city, was drowned on Saturday evening last. It appears that the deceased, with a number of playmates, was bathing in that part of the river known as "The Forks" and that he went into a part of the stream which was considerably beyond his depth. When the little fellow was brought ashore, life was not quite extinct, but after a few heavy breathings he was summoned. July 21, 1855 MARCHDEACON - Mr. Simon Marchdeacon, who was transported to the Bermudas for participation in the Rebellion of 1837, died on the 8th instant at St. Hyacinthe. July 23, 1855 UNNAMED CHILD - The Dundas "Warder" gives the particulars of an inquest held on the body of an infant killed by the upsetting of one of the Guelph and Hamilton stages and the serious injuries of the mother, a German woman, but the following circumstance which has been narrated to us adds peculiar poignancy to the deep affliction of the poor woman. It appears that her husband left the neighbourhood of Guelph some time ago on business in the neighbourhood of the Falls since which she had heard nothing of or from him, and several letters she had written have been unanswered. Hearing of a man in a canoe having passed over the falls, the poor distressed wife, and now bereaved mother, was on her way to make personal enquiries when the stage upset and killed her child. Fervent is the hope we express that the fears as to her husband may prove groundless and the deeply afflicted woman may soon have tidings of his safety. July 24, 1855 HOORIGAN - A man named Patrick Hoorigan was killed last week by the falling of an embankment on the Grand Trunk Railway, near Stratford. PETTIT - A young man named John Pettit was drowned on the 10th instant while bathing in the river at Montreal. PETTIT - Died at Ontario, on Sunday, the 22nd, Mrs. Jonathan Pettit, aged 42 years, much and deservedly regretted by a large circle of friends. Funeral at 10 o’clock to-morrow from her late residence to Grimsby. CONNER - An inquest was held on Sunday last, by John Ryckman, Esq. at Mr. Smith's inn, King street west. On view of the body of Ellen Conner, a woman apparently about 25 years of age, who died that morning very suddenly in a house of bad repute, kept by one Mrs. McGee. It appears from the evidence, which was of a very conflicting nature, that the deceased had been much addicted to habits of intemperance, that she had been confined to her bed all day on Saturday, and was last seen by the inmates of the house, Mrs. McGee, and a man named Gunn, a little after one o'clock in the afternoon. They knew nothing more of her until next morning between 2 and 4 o'clock when she was found in the last agonies of death. No excuse could be given for their inhuman conduct further than that they did not know the deceased was ill. It was supposed that poison might have been administered but there was no evidence to throw any light upon such a supposition, and the jury accordingly returned a verdict to the effect that deceased had come to her death by a fit of apoplexy caused by intemperance. These houses of questionable reputation are becoming more numerous than agreeable in this city, and it is certainly high time that some other steps then summoning up the keepers and fining them were adopted. It is a degrading fact that the earnings of prostitution form a considerable portion of the revenue in this city, for we can regard the system now pursued in no other light than an indirect mode of licensing these dens of infamy. Some other course must be adopted if the city authorities desire to get rid of these receptacles of everything that is infamous, debasing, and dangerous to the morals of the community, July 26, 1855 STOKES - Died on the 23rd instant, at the residence of his son-in-law, the Rev. James C. Usher, Brantford, Thomas Stokes, Esq, for 15 years a resident of this city, in the 89th year of his age. July 27, 1855 RYMAL - At Barton, on the 26th of July, Ann, second daughter of the late William Rymal, aged 27 years. AITKEN - Died on the 26th instant, Mary Edith, youngest daughter, of S. M. Aitken, of this city, aged 1 year and 4 days. Friends and acquaintances are respectfully requested to attend the funeral from her father's residence, King street east, to-day (Friday) at 4 o'clock p.m. to the place of interment, Burlington cemetery, without further notice. UNNAMED BOY (Cobourg) - On Friday morning last, the body of a boy was discovered floating in the water in the vicinity of the East Pier. He was taken out and laid on the pier for some time, but was not recognized. In the forenoon of the same day, an inquest was held before D. Brodie, Esq., coroner, when a verdict of "found drowned" was rendered. The youth must have been between 14 and 16 years of age, and had a very peculiar look and dress, the latter being semi-sailor rig. Between 7 and 8 shillings in silver was found tied up in his pocket- kerchief. He was decently interred the same day at the expense of the Corporation. July 31, 1855 ALEXANDER - An inquest was held on Sunday morning by H. B. Bull, Esq., coroner, at the Depot, on the body of Francis Alexander, a blacksmith employed at the Great Western Railway depot, who was drowned while bathing near the depot. It is supposed cramps had seized him as he was known to be a good swimmer. Deceased was a single man. August 1, 1855 MCKENDRICK - Died on the 29th ultimo, at the Suspension Bridge, Jennie Alice, infant daughter of Q. K. McKendrick, Esq., aged 2 months. August 2, 1855 SHERWOOD - We regret to state that intelligence has been received in this city by the late English mail of the death of the Hon. Henry Sherwood who for many years represented the town of Brockville and the city of Toronto in the Provincial Parliament. Mr. Sherwood was intimately acquainted with the politics and progress of Canada, and in his public and private capacity, enjoyed the esteem of a large class of the Canadian public. Toronto in particular has been deeply indebted to Mr. Sherwood for defending and advancing her interest upon many important occasions, and we are sure that we speak the sentiments of a great many of our fellow citizens in suggesting that some mark of respect, such perhaps as a cenotaph erected by subscription to St. James's cemetery, would be but a becoming tribute of honour and respect to the deceased. (Toronto) August 8, 1855 BULL - Died in this city, on Tuesday, the 7th instant, Mary, Wife of H. B. Bull, Esq., aged 37 years. Friends are invited to a attend the funeral on Thursday, the 9th instant, at 2 o'clock, without further notice.

August 10, 1855 HESS - Died in this city, on the 9th instant, Peter Hess, Esq., aged 77 years. The deceased was one of the oldest residents of this city, and his loss is deeply and sincerely regretted by a large circle of friends and acquaintances.

Her remains were interred in the ancient burying ground at the 15 Mile Creek, originally appropriated by her father for that purpose, and followed to the grave by a large concourse of relatives and friends.

When found, he was lying on his face across the joists on the first storey, the only visible wound being a severe bruise across the nose.

September 29, 1855 REID (Toronto) - Dr. Scott held an inquest yesterday afternoon at Taylor's tavern, Parliament street, on the body of a woman names Jane Reid.

The boy, in carrying over a gun which he had understood was unloaded, put in a cap and fired it off. The gun was unfortunately loaded with pigeon shot, and its contents were lodged in the person of Mrs. Reid who was coming towards the boy on the other side of some trees that intervened.

The unfortunate man was instantly seized by the feet, and before he could be rescued, the legs were smashed into a jelly as far as the trunk.

Dr. Wanless held an inquest on the remains last Sabbath which resulted in a verdict of accidental death. MCGILLIVRAY - Death of the Hon.

He was formerly a partner in the Hudson Bay Company from which he retired with a handsome competency, and afterwards filled a number of offices of honour in his adopted country, and was one of those who contributed largely to render Canada renowned for her sterling loyalty to the Sovereign to which she owed her allegiance.

Graham, Esq., which melancholy event took place at his residence, Cayuga, on Sunday last, the 18th instant. For some time past, he had been suffering from a severe attack of bilious fever which terminated in inflammation in the lungs which proved fatal despite the efforts of medical advisers. The deceased was a son of the late and respected Dr. Graham of Woodhouse, and had chosen law as his profession. He removed from this town to Cayuga about two years since and was shortly afterwards appointed Clerk of the Peace for the County of Haldimand which office he held till the date of his untimely end. His death will be deeply deplored, not only by his sorrowing relatives, but by a numerous circle of friends to whom his gentle disposition endeared him.

She has left sorrowing parents and friends who deeply feel their loneliness; yet do not sorrow as those without hope, feeling that it is her gain. November 29, 1855 CONNELL (Oakville) - A coroner's inquest was held on the body of Robert Connell on Saturday last and resulted in a verdict of wilful murder against the party who were in the house at the time the murdered man was discovered. The party consists of four persons; viz., John Breanahan, William Dogan, Bridget Breanahan, and Ann McLean. At the medical examination, it was found that Connell was stabbed through the heart, and as he was laid on his back after receiving the fatal wound, he bled internally, leaving no indication that the deed had been committed in the house, further than that the body was found there. It is a most mysterious affair throughout, nothing of importance being elicited from the parties named above at the investigation held before the coroner's jury, and all knowledge as to how the deed was committed and under what circumstances is mere speculation. The accused have been sent to Milton jail to await their trial. December 1, 1855 JONES (St. Catharines) - An inquest was held on Tuesday last by Coroner Raymond on the body of a man named William Jones who was stabbed between 11 and 12 o'clock on the previous evening by another colored man named Talbot Jones. It was shown by evidence adduced before the jury that the prisoner had engaged in a scuffle with the deceased, he had a dirk knife opened during the evening, and stated that "he intended to kill a nigger". Shortly after the two were engaged in the scuffle outside Jones' house deceased cried out that the prisoner had stabbed him, and five minutes after, expired. The bloody knife was found upon the accused, and Dr. Mack, having decided that the wound which was discovered upon a post mortem examination to have penetrated the heart was the cause of death, the jury returned a verdict of wilful murder against Jones who was fully committed to trial at the next assizes. December 3, 1855 IRVINE - Died on Saturday, the 1st instant, Hugh C. T. Irvine, Esq., of this city, merchant, in the 32nd year of his age.

By his upright conduct, he had secured the esteem and respect of a large circle of friends and acquaintances. ALLAN (Galt) - An old man named Allan, connected with a respected family in Dumfries, and in himself harmless, industrious, and active for his years, was killed on his journey homeward from this town on Wednesday night. He had been in Galt on business and was to return in the afternoon, when his continued absence alarmed his relatives and they set out in search of him. On the road between Little's tavern and Branchton, near a steep descent on Mr. McLeish's farm, the waggon in which he rode was found with the horse's head close upon the fence, and the old man thrown with violence to the ground where his forehead had hit a stone and caused congestion of the brain which instantly deprived him of life. Though his death was sudden, he died full of years. December 8, 1855 DOWLING - Died in this city, on the 6th instant, William, infant son of Mr. James Dowling, aged 1 month and 20 days. December 11, 1855 MCCONNELL, ONEIDA, MCNAMEX (Middlesex) - Dr. Wanless has informed us of the results of three inquests lately held in this county. The first was that on the remains of a man named McConnell who was driven into town while lying in s state of intoxication in a waggon. He was literally shaken to death by the effects of jolting over the frozen and broken road. On last Sunday, one of a number of the Oneida tribe who was employed by a fellow named Burke in Mount Brydges and partly paid in whiskey, died from the effects of intoxication. In a schoolhouse in Westminster one day early in the week, a fatal event took place. A number of boys amused themselves by tormenting a girl when the latter struck one of them with a piece of firewood, from the result of which the boy died in a few days. The name of the deceased is Henry McNamex. LEMON - A man by the name of John Lemon, a native of Ireland, was unfortunately drowned in the harbour at the steamboat-landing of Amherst Island the other day. It appeared he was master of the schooner "Isabella", and in attempting to warp her out of the harbour, the wind blowing very strong from the north-west, by some mismanagement the schooner got ashore at Mr. Tate's shipyard, when the deceased with two others got the anchor and cable into the small boat and in striving to carry them out, the boat filled with water and sank beneath them. Poor Lemon, it appears, unable to swim, sank, while the two others were enabled to save themselves. An inquest was subsequently held on the body before John Hitchins, Esq., the coroner, and a jury when the verdict returned was accidentally drowned. A subscription was afterwards set on foot for behoof of his wife and family, six in number, of the deceased when the handsome sum of $45 was subscribed by the jurors and others on the spot, and a further sum of $300 by the people of the township. CULBERTSON - On the forenoon of Monday, the 26th ultimo, an Indian by the name of Culbertson was shot accidentally while hunting deer in Marmora by one John Hays. The parties named, it appears, had often gone on hunting expeditions together, and had made an arrangement of a similar kind for the morning in question and each party started alone. Culbertson had got into the woods first and with his usual luck, had shot a fine buck. While in the act of opening the animal with his knife, Hays coming in sight and seeing the motion of Culbertson's hand through the bushes, thought it was the tail of a deer; so, taking aim somewhat higher with his rifle for the purpose of hitting the deer in the body, he fired with fatal precision, the ball entering the top of the unfortunate Indian's head coming out below the chin. An inquest was held on the body the next day, and a verdict in accordance with the facts rendered, but not, however, without some severe blame to Hays for his carelessness. December 14, 1855 HUNT - Died on the 13th instant, Sarah, wife of Mr. Alexander Hunt, late of Sheffield, England, aged 31 years.
