Drury property Charles Drury to Mr. W. Chipman Drury, who was ch arged with the maintenance of his brothers Edward and John. Of the existence of any differences of opinion mong the brothers the outside world had no knewledge ; and indeed there appears none, except in the breast of ene of the three. It was generally under- steod that Mr. Chipman Drury, as the proper head of the family (through the physical disqualification of the remaining brothers), performed his duties in the most generous anda tenet plary manner. In con- sequence of a supposed grievance in regard to the disposition ef the property, hewever —a grievance which had no bi isis whatever + 7 i " 7 to have been in fact or reasen—the ‘‘mnie”’ appears of lata to have cherished very bitter feeli ngs towards Mr. Chipman Drury, and te have brooded over his supposed wrongs until he practically became imsane. These feelings he made known to some of his friends by ‘‘sign” language, in which he was a moat expressive talker but it was not supposed that he contemplated anything like a deed of vengeance on his brother. If he was insane, as is believed, there was certainly ‘‘method in his mad- ness.” He appears te have intended to destroy not only his hiether Chipman and himself but the homestead, at asingle blow. He accomplished quite as muchas he had expected, for while Mr. Chipman Drury’s life has been almost miraculously saved, another brother (idward) who may not have been oxiginally selected for slaughter, fell a avi¢iim to the maniac’s pistol while at- tempting to prevent the destruction of the house by fire. The family appear to have dined between six and seven o’cleck on Saturday evening ; but little did they then foresee —little did those persons who passed the house on their raturn te the city from Drury Range, at about 6.30 P. m., Imagine that by eight o’clock deeds of murder, sui- cide and ineendiarism, fitted te startle the inhabitants of an entire Prevince, would be ecmmiited in this peaceful and happy home. Our reporters’ notes supply all; ‘the in- cidenis of this series of tragic and gigantic crimes. There aypears ta have been no horror wanting to mark this as the most conspicuous and terrible in the annals of our Province. The madman first deliber- ately ijired the barns. He then passed into the house, and (as he had expected, no donbt) found Mr. Chipman Drury dosing in the sitting room afier dinner. He fired his reveiver into hie brother's body, hoping probably to make an end of him atonee. The ball fortunately glanced off the ribs, lodging in the hack, but witheut toching a vital point. tle then passed up stairs to his own room to fire the house, and had the bedding, curtains and other articles on iire when his brother Edward, who had secn the blaze, went up to extinguish the flames. When advancing to the reom with a pail of water he was met by the ‘‘ mute,” who resisted jhim; e scuffis ensned, but the madman, ceter- mined not to be baiked, ended the struggle by firing a ball into Edward Drury’s head, the ball entering the left side of the head, behind the ear. The victim did not im- mediately fall, but passed with the water down stairs, at the feot of which he fell dead, The other inmates of the house, passing up to the madman’s reom aftera time, found that he had left this part of the house and ended his ewn miserable ex- istence in Miss Drury’s unoccupied bed- room, by firing his revolver inte his brain. set ““* | to resene the rmilv circle on earth in s\ ) “3 ty f DPida bles; the house, fired from without by the burning so consumed, without » Mr. Chipman Drury’s | interesting family ; and twe deaths and a heap of ruins attested to the thoroughness with whi ‘maniac’s crime had been i cated to the sta | within, and from ‘further accident the accomplished. ee ives "URTHER PARTICULARS.

There lay two gray-haired old men, strete shed on their back, cold in death. They were the brethers, Jehn Drury and Edward O’B Drary, whe had lived together in the homestead sinee childheed and whe had each seen about 70. winters. John had murdered his brother Edward, attempted the murder of his brether, Ward Chipman, had previonsly set fire to ene of the barns, and after taking the life of his brother re- tired to that room, s set fire to the bed and curtains in his own reom, and then passing inte another reom shot himself dead.

The victim, Edward, looked natural, as if asleep, not a struggle on his pale white face, cevered with an almest white beard and meustache, His y hair and imnocent undisturbed expression touched, the hearts of all who leoked upon the lifeless form as it lay stretched en the sward. A few feet distant lay also stretched on his back on the hill side, unhidden from the light ef the fire, the lifeless body of the fratricide and suicide. His countenance presented a shocking aspeet—the right temple and fore- head were blackened with powder, the face streaked with blood, and his meuth wide oper. Asin the other caso his limbs were straightened out—his hands folded, though the expression wassad. But it was appar- ent that he had been seized with death quickly. He had shot himself fair in the right temple and had, it was evident, placed the muzzle of his deadiy weapon clese to his brew, as the skin for quite a circuinference™Was discolored, singed and blackened with smeke. THK FATAL BALL had pierced the temple of the unfortunate man and lodged inside the head. His usual attire, black coat and light pants, made the figure easily recognizable to those who have seen him in town with cane in hand, care- fully crossing the streets, for he was deaf and dumb and alw ays very cautieus about passing teams. The victin—a few years yeunger than his brother—was siinilarly attired. His death wound was located im- mediately behind the right ear; the flesh was not blackened with powder, though it was evident that aim had been taken by . the murderer. There was ne blood about the face or body or any disfiguration of ceuntenanee-—there sunply appeared the wound behind the ear. As in the suicide’s ease, the ball had lodged inside the -head. The bodies were viewed by crowds of people and with a feeling of herrer’ The injury te Mr. Chipman Drury could net, on the vrounds, be correctly ‘ascertained, he having gone into the city to Dr. Preston. It was understood, however, that he had been shot in the abdomen. THE DRURY FAMILY. - The Drury family is one of the eldest in the Province. The father of the present family, of whem Ward C., Lebaron and George avs living, (C haben, John and Ed- ward j are dead) caine to this eouatry in 1805 ss an officer in one of Her Majesty's regi- ments. Hewas Co!. Drury and married Amelia, youngest daughter ef Hon. Wm. Hazen. On retiring from the regiinent he settled in St. John and was appointed post master and registrar of wills and deeda of this city. He always resided at Newlands, a property that came to him threugh his wife, and died there on the 24th October, 1836, aged 53. His wife survived him un- til the fall of 1861 and also died at New- — Of the sons, Chas. died Feb. 21st, 1880. John was a deaf mute frem his birth and Edward for a greater part of his life was hard of hearing. Jehn was a good scholar, smart and active and used to as- sist in the office of his bretuer Ward C., the present registrar of wills and deeds. Thero were twe daughters, one is the wife of the present Chief Justice Alleu, the other daughter is dead. Edward, who was 67 years old at the time of his death, was chiefly interested in the farm. John was
