Friday morn. the dead body of William DOAK, a native of Doaktown, N.B., was discovered in a field and partly resting upon him was a large stone. The deceased was looking for John TIERNEY in this town, and at the time he lost his life was excavating beneath the stone, intending to sink it - a way farmers have of getting rid of very large field stones or boulders, when the stone started and caught him before he had time to get out of the way. His ages was about 40 years. Dr. Boyd of Linneus, Me., was summoned, viewed the body and deemed an inquest unnecessary. - 'Pioneer', Houlton, Me.
