Canadice - The baseball accident that happened in this town some time ago resulted fatally at last. Your readers will doubtless remember that Wm. L. Wemett was severely injured while playing ball in this town, on Saturday, the 23d of September last, by receiving a heavy stroke on the forehead from a ball club, which crushed in his skull. After several weeks he so far recovered as to be about again, and subsequently, considering himself well, commenced work.
On the 20th ult., while at work laying stone wall, he took a severe cold, which became seated in the injured head, causing inflammation of the brain and terminating in his death on the 24th ult. He was twenty-six years of age on the day of his death, and leaves a wife and one child to mourn his untimely end.
