A melancholy occurrence in Gloucester Co. is recorded resulting in the death of two boys, James and Peter AUBE, aged respectively 9 and 7 years, sons of Alexander AUBE of Petit Rocher, Beresford parish. It appears that on the 23rd these two boys with two other smaller children had prevailed on their father to let them go after some firewood, some 300 hundred yards from the house. The poor man, being ill in health, was unable to go himself he placed the four children in the cart. When they were absent some 30 or 40 minutes he went in search of them, and not finding them where he expected, he proceeded on further through a piece of swampy land and in the midst of a cluster of brush and greenwood, he saw the cart turned bottom up, the horse so entangled in the harness he did not move, all was silent. In turning over the box cart he found his two eldest boys laying on their faces underneath the cart quite dead, the two smaller children escaped unhurt. It is evident the children were unable to manage the animal or prevent his going through the bushes which caused this melancholy accident.
