A sad accident occurred at Oscoda, Michigan on 15th Nov. last whereby Ernest WHITNEY of Northesk (North. Co.) met his death. He with a companion were engaged in sawing down a pine against which a large hemlock was leaning. After the pine was sawn down, the hemlock remained upright for a few minutes and then fell, striking the young man on the head, killing him instantly. The deceased was a son of Peter WHITNEY of Northesk and well educated. He left Miramichi about three months ago.
