David ROBINSON of Lower Brighton (Carleton Co.) met with a painful accident 13th inst. which resulted in his death on the 19th. He was engaged in fence building and had a man helping him. His assistant was on the opposite side of the fence, driving a stake with all his force, when his axe flew from the handle striking Robinson on the knee, opening the knee pan and inflicting a terrible gash in the flesh and bone. Dr. Colter was called and dressed the wound. The falling day he and Dr. Connell, in consultation, advised the amputation of the leg, but to this the patient would not consent. On Thursday morn. his spirit passed away. The deceased leaves a widow and small family. - 'Woodstock Sentinel'
