The following sad story is told in a Williamsport, Pa. despatch of April 20th: Last Sept., Francis H. KELLY, James BRIGGS and Henry BRIGGS, brothers, William BARKLEY and Thos. GUNN, five young woodsmen, came from New Brunswick to work in the lumber woods along the Susquehanna. James Briggs was killed by a falling tree a few days after going to work. His brother went to Michigan to work in the pines. As he was standing near a fellow chopper one day, the axe slipped from the chopper's hands and struck Briggs in the stomach, killing him instantly. In January last, William Barkley fell from a log in the Susquehanna during a drive and was drowned. Some time afterward as Thomas Gunn was starting logs on a hill in the woods, a log sudeenly started rolling. It struck Gunn, knocked him down, rolled over him and crushed him to death. Francis Kelly, the last one of the five comrades, then went to work for Cochran Brothers in Melick's Run in Cameron County. One day last week he with others went driving down the stream and a heavy jam occurred. Kelly went out on the jam to loosen the logs. A large hemlock tree stood on the bank. The high water half washed away the earth from around its roots. Before he could get out of the way the tree fell and crushed the young man to death. (see original)
