Mrs. Gilbert FOWLER of Barnesville (Kings Co.) received a telegram from California, 31st ult., conveying the intelligence that her husband had been killed in a railwoad accident and that the remains would be sent home for burial. The painful task of communicating the tidings to Mrs. Fowler and family were performed by her father, Samuel BELL. Until two years ago, Mr. Fowler and family, which consisted of six children, the eldest 20 and the youngest 2 years old, resided at Upham. Here for a number of years he worked at his trade of blacksmith and subsequently purchased a farm. Meeting with some discouragements and induced by the prosperity of friends in foreign lands, he rented his farm and moved his family to a cottage owned by him in this village. He started a year ago last September for Montana where he was steadily employed until a few weeks ago when he concluded to visit his brother in California. After a difficult journey, encountering heavy snowstorms, he arrived only a few days when the fatal accident occurred.
