Harvey (York Co.) Dec. 18 – Thomas MOWATT, who died at Harvey 13th inst., was born in the village of Ford in the North of England on May 4th, 1809 and thus in the 84th year of his age. Before emigrating to New Brunswick he was in charge of a grist mill. He joined a colony of emigrants who sailed from Berwick-on-Tweed in the “Cornelius” in May 1837 and landed in St. John in July and was located at Harvey at that time an unbroken forest. He had charge of a grist mill at Woodstock for two years, but after that he joined the pioneers at Harvey and shared with them their struggles. The 13th saw the last remains of Wm PATTERSON, sr., aged 81, laid in his last resting place. Mr. MOWATT and Mr. Patterson were fellow emigrants and lived as neighbors. Mr. MOWATT was the father of Rev. A.J. MOWATT, late of Fredericton, now stationed at Montreal.

Fredericton Herald: A marriage is to be celebrated at Boston on Wednesday next under peculiar circumstances. Nearly eleven years ago Miss Belle MOORE of this city was married to George TAYLOR, employed with George A. BURKHARDT as an assistant in his photographic studio and Mr. Taylor went to the Moore residence on St. John street to live with his wife as an inmate of her mother’s household. But the couple did not agree very long, and not long after a son was born to them. Mr. Taylor went to Boston, his wife remaining with her mother. Mrs. Taylor after a time went to Calais, where she resided long enough to secure a divorce under the U.S. law and returned to Fredericton free. It will be eleven years ago nect Wednesday since the first wedding, the re-marriage being planned to celebrate the eleventh anniversary of the former event. For a number of years the parties did not correspond nor have anything to do with each other, but recently, during the past year, through the intervention of mutual friends at especially at Mr. Taylor’s request, letters have regularly passed between them, he urging another trial of matrimony. Mrs. Taylor at last consented, and if all goes well she will leave St. Mary’s, her present home, and on Wednesday husband and wife will be united. The boy, issue of the first marriage, will accompany his mother to Boston. Mr. Taylor is said to occupy a good position in Boston.

John Francis Wentworth WINSLOW was born at Kingswood near Fredericton (York Co.) in 1793. His father, Edward WINSLOW, a great grandson of Governor WINSLOW who landed with the Pilgrims at Plymouth in 1620 was himself born, we believe, in Plymouth. He came to this Province with the other Loyalists in 1783. Edward WINSLOW rendered long and distinguished services to his king and his country, both in military and civil capacities. He was a Colonel in the Army, Military Secretary to General Fox and Campbell and for some time the Paymaster General of the Royal Forces in British North America. He was also administrator of the Government in this Province and, although he had never received a legal education, was appointed Judge of the Supreme Court which position he held until his death. John F.W. was the youngest of a family of four sons and five daughters, of whom but two survive him. He commenced life in 1808 as an Ensign in the Royal Newfoundland Fencibles. He soon exchanged into the 41st Regt. and served with it in the West Indies. He sold out of the 41st and when the war of 1812 broke out went to Canada where he served as Adjutant on the staff of General Pearson. Mr. WINSLOW afterwards volunteered into the 104th Regt. So distinguished was his conduct that when a second battalion was added to the 41st Regt. he was reinstated in his former rank in it, though not attached, and received the full amount of his pay from the tim at which he had sold out. At the conclusion of the war he retired from active service; and in 1828 sold out his half pay in order to render himself eligible for appointment to the Shrievalty, Sir Howard Douglas, Lt. Gov. having promised him that office in the new county which it was proposed to set off from York, the bounds of which then stretched to the Canada line. In accordance with this promise, Mr. WINSLOW was in 1832 appointed Sheriff of Carleton, in that year erected into a new County. For 24 years until the 1st day of April 1856, Mr. WINSLOW continued to discharge the onerous and responsible duties of his office with characteristic energy and thoroughness. A tumour of the neck, which originated in 1815 from a blow which he received defending himself against a number of rowdies and which had been gradually increasing until it had gained an enormous size, now began to afflict him exceedingly, causing difficulty of breathing and general deterioration of the system. -Woodstock Journal
