On Monday last T.J. CAMPBELL of Brunswick was ploughing with a young horse which he was leading and the son holding the plough. The horse reared up, struck him on the forehead with its knee and knocked him down. The horse then started and the ploughshare struck Mr. C. a violent blow on the back of the head, breaking the skull. Temerlane Joseph CAMPBELL was born at Woodstock (Carleton Co.) N.B. about 160 miles above Saint John on 13th Oct. 1811 and was therefore two months within 56 years of age. On 12th Aug. 1852 he sailed from St. John, N.B. for Melbourne (Australia) with 105 fellow passengers, who with himself, had purchased a vessel for that purpose. They arrived at Melbourne on 29th Dec. 1852, but finding no fair prospect of settlement, there they sold their ship and some of the party determined to seek their future homes in New Zealand. Mr. CAMPBELL was one of them. They took passage by the bark "Creole", Capt. Enton and arrived in Wellington in February 1853. There they purchased land script and on the following month came on to Wanganui to select their land. They did so and called the name of the settlement Brunswick; thus the name Brunswick was given to the district in which they selected their land and in which Mr. CAMPBELL has died. We have reason to believe that Brunswick near Melbourne was settled upon by some of the same party. We may close these remarks by stating that Mr. CUNNABELL, one of Mr. C's fellow adventurers, went on a flying visit to his old native land, New Brunswick, some months ago. On his return he brought with him a considerable quantity of various kinds of seeds which he hoped would grow well in these districts. It was whilst ploughing ground in which to sow some of these seeds, that Mr. C. received the injuries which resulted in is untimely death. Being an old and highly respected member of the Masonic craft, his remains will be followed to their resting place today by a number of Masonic brethern of this town and district. - Waganui (New Zealand) Times, 13th Aug.
