Bruno POITRAS, well known resident of St. Leonard's, died Friday last. Deceased had been working on the Tobique River and left the camp at which he was boss to visit his home. He was found at the depot camp Wednesday last by Geo. TEDLIE in a very weak condition. He was benumbed with cold and could scarcely speak. Mr. Tedlie removed him to Forbe's camp about two miles distant. On Thursday his brother went after him to take him home, but before he reached the latter place he died. Deceased has been a boss in the lumber camps for a number of years.
