Local News: On Monday a man named Hunt was taken to Newton Cottage Hospital for the purpose of having his arm amputated. He had suffered considerable pain for two or three weeks from blood poisoning, and the two or three medical gentlemen that had attended him saw that the only chance of saving his life was to amputate the arm, hence his removal to the Cottage Hospital. Death, however, terminated his sufferings before the operation was performed. He was a steady, industrious man, and had been for some years in the employ of Pinsent and Son to deliver coals. He leaves a widow and three young children.

As a photographer Mr. Kelley, of Queen Street, Newton, has established an enviable reputation in this part of the country. Wherever his pictures have gone they have been the theme of admiration not only for the artistic manner in which they are turned out of hand, but also for their realistic and life-like appearances. It is therefore not surprising that he has found his business to be largely on the increase, and in consequence of which he has found it absolutely necessary to make extensive alterations and additions to his premises. Having acquired the right to build over Mr. Pinsent’s stores, at the rear of his house, he has had erected a suite of rooms and studio which will compare favourably with, if not surpass, any other in the kingdom. In fact, we are informed that the studio itself has only one larger in dimensions in the kingdom and that is in Leeds. … (continues) …

Fire in St. Thomas: Shortly after three o’clock on Wednesday a fire was discovered in the hayloft, in the yard of the Ship Inn, Alphington Street, St. Thomas. An alarm was raised, and Mr. M. Farrant. Mr. T. Symons, and Mr. James, members of the fire brigade were quickly in attendance with the hose reel. Fortunately, the fire was discovered in its infancy, and was extinguished by willing helpers with buckets of water.  Other members of the fire brigade had arrived by this time, but their services were not required.  P.S. Egan and P.C. Newberry were also in attendance to render assistance if required. Not much damage was done; the chief thing burnt being the hay. The property belongs to Mr. Pinsent, brewer, of Newton Abbot, and is occupied by Mr. W. H. Oliver. Had the fire not been discovered when it was, no doubt there would have been a serious conflagration, as the building is chiefly of wood, which is tarred. It consisted of a brew-house, hayloft, cattle stalls, and carpenters’ shop.
