Saturday 15 Feb 1845 (p. 2, col. 7-8) DEATH OF THE REV. JOHN DOBIE, OF THE UNITED SECESSION CHURCH.-It is with much regret that we record the death of this talented, energetic, and highly-esteemed minister of the Gospel, which took place at Langholm, on the 6th instant. For some years past, Mr. DOBIE has been in a declining state of health; but, notwithstanding the progress of the malady which has terminated in his death, he continued to devote himself, with his wonted diligence and faithfulness, to the discharge of his ministerial duties; though in a state of extreme weakness, he preached to his congregation on the Sabbath immediately preceding his death, both in the forenoon and evening. At the close of the evening service, which proved to be his last public ministration, he was borne home much exhausted, and in less than four days he died. Mr. DOBIE, for upwards of 23 years, discharged the duties of a faithful and devoted minister of the Gospel. FATAL ACCIDENT.-It falls to our lot again to record another dreadful and fatal accident upon the Lancaster and Carlisle Railway, at Hangbridge, near Milnthorpe, on Thursday afternoon. The unfortunate person is named Robert WILLIS, a small farmer living at Hale, near Beetham. From what we are able to learn, it would seem that, while he was working on the line with a young spirited horse belonging to himself, the animal took fright at something on the line, while drawing two empty waggons, and he riding on the waggon at the time, leapt off to catch hold of the horse, when he fell under the waggon, and the wheels passed over his head, which nearly severed it from his body. Medical aid was immediately sent for from Milnthorpe, but he breathed his last before the surgeon arrived. He has left a wife and four small children to deplore his untimely end. No blame is attached to any of the labourers.-Kendal Mercury. SUICIDE AT DARLINGTON.-On the afternoon of Tuesday last, Thomas Moor WINTER, one of the ticket-clerks in the service of the Stockton and Darlington Railway Company, put a period to his existence, by shooting himself in the head, in the water-closet, at the Darlington station. An inquest was held before W. TROTTER, Esq., at the railway station, on Wednesday the fifth instant, when a verdict of suicide when under temporary insanity was returned. BROUGH.-On Monday last, a serious accident occurred to Mr. Joseph TALLENTIRE, innkeeper, Brough, from the bursting of a gun. It appears that Mr. TALLENTIRE, along with another person, was practising shooting at a white, and, in firing, the gun barrel burst, and shattered his arm in such a dreadful manner as to leave but faint hopes that it will not ultimately have to be amputated. The gun was a double-barrelled one, and it is supposed that the unfortunate man had in mistake put two charges into one barrel. It is a matter of surprise that greater caution is not exercised in the using of guns, as accidents resulting from them are of such frequent occurrence.
