VIOLENT DEATH. - Tuesday, John Grieve, 4th concession, Eramosa, was taking down an old barn. One of the bents fell, crushing the skull of Thomas, a son of Mr. Grieve, a man of about 30. He lingered until Wednesday morning of last week, when he died. A framer, whose name cannot be learned, was badly injured in the spine, and his recovery is doubtful. Another son of Mr. Grieve was going to Fergus for a doctor to attend his brother, and he was thrown from his horse and considerably injured. The family has been extremely unfortunate, as it is but a few years since another son was killed by the falling of a limb of a tree. Mr. Grieve and family have the sympathy of the entire community, and much regret is expressed at the death of Thomas, who was a fine man, of excellent physique, and amiable disposition. A fatal accident occurred at his farm while it was being built, years ago.
