A very sad accident occurred at Blyth
last week. While Mr Sam Hodgine was
driving along Dinsl•y street, little Jim-
my Hammond, eldest son of Mr M. II.
Hammond, statue agent, thought he
would get on and have a rids. The
bottom of the sleigh tieing a moveable
one he fell through, the bob passed over
him. He received internal injuries and
the doctors have little hope of his re-
covery.
We regret to learn that several of our
young men ha.. decided to give op site
atinns in Blyth for more lucrative one
on the other side. There must be a
screw Ipo.e somewhere, Perhaps we
have the wrong men in charge of our
onsntry's aflain. It's deplorable to see
so many young men, the cream of our
country, leaving their native land fan a
country that floets another flag, because
it can offer them higher !mations.
