Having recently received a letter by John CAMPBELL, Esq., former resident of St. Stephen (Charlotte Co.) N.B. but now of San Francisco, California, I take the liberty of furnishing you a few items from it relating to former well known residents of this place. He says, writing 5th Oct.: " I had Joseph WALTON out to drive day before yesterday. He is looking healthy and well and was on his way from the mountains to Victoria, B.C. where his brother John WALTON lately died, an old bachelor and leaving property valued from $8,000 to $10,000"; Yesterday, James BLAIR took lunch with us. He was passing through the city on his way from his mountain home after making a visit to some old friends down the coast. He was looking well and told Mrs. C. that he was going down to St. Stephen this winter. He is well established in the apothecary business at LaPorte in the mining regions.; You have probably heard of the sad death of Israel HANSON's son ere this. He came out here second mate in an American ship and left her here. He worked in the Bay for a few months and then hired in a mill up the coast and the third or fourth day he, by some unexplained accident, got caught in the circular saw and was literally torn to pieces." (signed H.W., St. Stephen, Nov. 1866)
