Notes - Lamentable Death - A very lamentable death, the result of exhaustion and the intense cold of the night, occurred in North Dumfries on Sabbath last. From the particulars which we have gathered, it would appear that Messrs. Cherry Bros., of Glenmorris Mills, had asked a number of parties to go to their mill on Saturday last and assist them in cutting away some ice which was a hindrance to the working of their mill. Amongst others who went was John Marshall, son of Mr. Thomas Marshall, who lives on the river road about four miles from Galt. On arriving at the mill young Marshall, with the others assembled, went to work to remove the ice, and with the short interval of stopping for dinner continued working until dark, and of course got very wet, particularly about the feet. They then stopped and the deceased after waiting for a short time, found a companion, who was driving a short way, and started for home. When he came to where the roads separated he got out of the sleigh strangely enough, not complaining that he felt very cold. From the time he left his companion, at the sleigh, until he was found the next morning about 10 o'clock, by Mr. Robert Scott, who was on his way to church, at Galt, he was not seen. When found, he was lying by the side of the road, not far from Mr. Alex McPhail's, and was then so badly frozen that he was n a dying condition. Mr. Scott carried him into Mr. McPhail's, and everything was done ikt was possible to do until medical aid could be obtained. Dr. Richardson arrived quickly, but from the first the ease was hopeless and about six o'clock in the evening he b4eathed his last. When first taken into Mr. McPhail's an examination of his person showed that his legs were frozen quite solidly to above the knees and his hands entirely frozen to above the wrists. In removing his boots it was found that his feet and legs were covered with ice, showing that when he started to walk home his feet were very wet. There can hardly be a doubt that over-work, getting wet and the extreme cold of the night caused the most unfortunate death. Undoubtedly, when the poor young man got out of the sleigh, the cold was striking into him, he had then a little over three miles to walk and that alone, with the roads anything but good. Imperceptibly to himself, as he went along his feet became frozen and when aware that they were so, his bodily strength was so much exhausted and he was so much benumbed by the intense cold, that beyond a few struggles, which the snow on the road plainly showed, he was scarcely capable of exertion. A few minutes of lying down completed the work of the cold, and he passed into a state of unconsciousness which was but the fore runner of death. An inquest was held on Monday, Dr. Philip coroner, and Messrs., Alex McPhail, foreman, John H. Rutherford, Robert Marshall, John Leeds, James S. Turnbull, Anthony Marshall, John Orr, James Lake, James Campbell, Thomas Oliver, and George Rutherford, Juryman, when after a carful enquiry into the facts a verdict "That the deceased came to his death by getting his feet wet and attempting to walk home on the night of Saturday, January 25th, 1879, when the mercury was at Zero," was rendered. The funeral of the young man took place on Tuesday afternoon last the many friends of the family evincing their sympathy by turning out in large numbers.
