A Campobello resident of 31st ult. writes to the 'Sun': James FOSTER, a resident of this place for the past 12 years, who died of pneumonia, was buried here today under the directions of the parish officers (J.A. CALDER and Wellington PARKER, overseers of the poor). While residing here he lived in a camp as a hermit. He claimed his birth place to be Galway (Kent Co.) N.B. The best care was taken of him by the above mentioned officers of this parish and his nurse, Daniel HARVEY. The I.O.G.T. of which he was a member attended his funeral as did the people of the place.
