" A painful tragedy is reported from Loaminglton. Mr. Russell, a farmer, was returning to his home at a village near that town one night last week, when he was assailed by a lurcher and two poachers. Raising his gun, Mr. Russell fired, and one of the men fell. The help of neighbours was sought, but when they came the wounded man could not be found. He was discovered, however, next morning, some three-quarters of a mile away, and died a few minutes afterwards. "
