_____________________

On Saturday evening last, the new road to the cemetery in Falmouth was formally opened by a procession.  A large crowd assembled, who disported themselves over the resting place of the dead to the sound of music, the firing of brass pop-guns and other of the usual accompaniments of festive occasions.  We cannot but think that the proceedings were so far characterized by levity and indecorum as to have transgressed the widest limit which could be fairly allowed on the occasion.

_____________________

The first of the R.M.S.S. Company's coasting steamers arrived here on Sunday last.  She was not the Belize, the vessel which had been announced, but the Mersey, an old steamer of the line, larger than the Belize, but not so clean and comfortable.  It is said that hereafter, the Belize will be sent around.  The religious feeling of a considerable part of the community has taken offense at the receiving and discharging cargo on Sunday: not for the one occasion, but from an impression that it will be a permanent practice.  It is believed that the result of her first coasting trip will be satisfactory.

CRICKET

We learn from a correspondent that the first match between the Manchester C. C. and St. Elizabeth C. C. came off on Thursday 25th May at the ground of the latter Club, at Mount Olivet, in the Santa Cruz Mountains.  There was a large attendance on the ground, every one being well repaid by witnessing play, such as it is not often seen out of England.  The play all round was first rate especially the bowling of Messrs. F. Bonitto, C. S. Foote, H. Maxwell, G. Smith, and E. Earle. The wicket keeping of Mr. Catcheside was very effective.

Kingston Circuit Court

At the hearing of this Court on June 26, Robert Patience charged with the murder of James Crawford having wounded him in the neck.  On the Sunday just before the murder was discovered, Patience went to another man who had the reputation of being an obeah man, whom he asked to "work obeah" so that he might not be found out in "something he had done down in the gully."  It is reported that he proceeded to tell this man what he had done.

Monday, July 24, 1876

DIED

At Mount Zion Manse, St. James, on the morning of July 17, the Reverend Edwin Angel Wallbridge, pastor of Mount Zion Presbyterian Church, aged 28 years, a talented young Missionary.  His father, the late well known and much beloved Reverend E. A. Wallbridge, missionary in Demerara, predeceased him by only a few months.
The name of "Wallbridge" will recall that of the "Dairyman's Daughter" from whose family, in the Isle of Wight, the now lamented father and son were linearly descended.

It is with profound regret that we record the decease of this promising young clergyman.  The startling announcement of his death on Monday night caused universal grief in this community.  Mr. Wallbridge came out to Jamaica from Scotland towards the close of the year 1869, and on his arrival in Kingston was heartily welcomed.  He was soon, however, located at Rosehill, one of the Presbyterian mission stations in Saint Mary's, where he diligently labored for about a year and a half; but in May 1871 he was ordained by the Northern Presbytery to the Pastoral charge of the larger and more important congregation at Mount Zion in St. James then vacant by the lamented decease of the Reverend William Lawrence.  Mr. Wallbridge has left behind him a disconsolate widow and her three children.

MUNICIPAL BOARD

At a meeting of the Board on Saturday last Licenses for Hawking and Peddling were granted to Cabaloos (a Coolie), John Jarrett, Richard Clarke, Louisa M. Bodden, John R. Lions, Stephen E. Pritchard, Isabella Binham and B. Gordon.
The Clerk read a letter from the Director of Roads informing the Board that it is the intention of the Government to build a Constabulary Station at Duncans.
A letter from the director of roads informed that the digging of the well at Duncans under contract with Mr. Ellis was still not complete.  Water was reached at 160 feet by December 1875, but in too small quantity to be depended upon as a supply.  The total depth now reached is about 200 feet.  A letter from General Mann to the Colonial Secretary recommends that digging continue as water may be near.

Thursday, July 27, 1876

From all parts of the Island reports reach us of the extreme violence of the weather during the greater part of last, and the beginning of the present week.  In Kingston it blew a gale in that harbor on Wednesday last, and in the parish of St. Elizabeth its effects were disastrous to life and property, eight fishermen at Pedro having been drowned, and two wharf men at Black River.  In Falmouth on Wednesday and Sunday night the weather was very fierce, rain, wind, and lightning.

The next was a similar case her name was Isabella Bargain; she resided at Grateful Hill in St. Thomas in the Vale; her child was born on July 28, and was placed, after death in a tuft of grass behind her house. The jury returned a verdict of guilty with a recommendation to mercy.
The Queen against Joseph Brown for the manslaughter on August 1 of one William McLean, in the Parish of St. Catherine.  The evidence disclosed great provocation on the part of the deceased, and that indeed, the prisoner had done all he could to prevent a rupture between them. The jury returned a verdict of guilty with a strong recommendation to mercy.
The Queen against James Samuel Cornish for shop-breaking and larceny.  The prisoner was charged with having in September of last year broken into the watch-making establishment of Mr. McPherson in St. Catharine and stolen therefrom 13 watches, and with having within six months after, stolen another watch from the same person.  The jury returned a verdict of guilty.
