On Saturday afternoon about 3 o'clock, a boy about 13 years of age, John HALEY, fell between the beams on which the floor of Mr. BRITTAIN's fish store, Carleton (St. John) is laid, into the tide. All efforts to rescue the youth proved unavailing and when the body was recovered half an hour later, life was extinct.
