Woodstock (Carleton Co.) Feb. 28 - A dredaful accident by which two lives were lost occurred at Robinson's crossing, about half a mile beyond Canterbury this eve. about 4 o'clock. William McNALLY, accompanied by his wife and daughter, Mrs. BROWN and son-in-law, Mr. BROWN, was driving in a double team from Canterbury, and in crossing the tracks the sled was struck by the express train coming to Woodstock. The old lady was thrown under the wheel and cut to pieces so that her body was scattered along the track. The young woman was so mangled that she died within ten minutes. Her husband was thrown clear and not much hurt. The old man was badly bruised but probably will recover. The young people had only been married a fortnight. (see original)
