John Paton drowned off Usan

On Monday last, John Paton, a youth, 14 years of age, and the son of a poor old fisher in Usan, was unfortunately lost at sea, about four miles off that village.  He went, in company with his brother and three pilots, to bring back the boat, after putting the men on board of different vessels bound for Montrose; and had left the last man on board of a smack, and just swung away with a rope fast to the vessel, when the boat was suddenly pulled to one side, filled with water, and the young man was thus plunged into a watery grave, as no assistance could be rendered him, from the velocity with which the vessel was sailing.  The elder brother was saved by promptly lashing himself to the boat.

Sudden death of Mary Low in Montrose

A poor woman, Mary Low, whose husband sails in one of the Aberdeen whale ships, died here on Monday last, in consequence of some idle officious person telling her that her husband was drowned, and that she need not trouble herself enquiring after letters from him.  She had gone to the well for water, when the intelligence was communicated to her, and such as its sudden effect that she instantly fell into a swoon.  The was carried to her own house, where every means were employed to restore the vital energy, without effect; in the course of a few hours life was extinct.  She has left an aged mother, and three children, the youngest of whom is only ten weeks old, to deplore her loss.  It appears that the carrier, who arrived from Aberdeen on Saturday evening, brought a letter, with money, from her husband, but did not deliver it until Monday, in consequence of the intermediate day being Sunday.  She was in a state of insensibility when the letter was brought to her. - Montrose, August 9.

Kincardineshire Farms

VALUABLE FARMS IN KINCARDINESHIRE,

THE following FARMS, in the Parish of Inverbervie, are to be let for 19 years from Martinmas next, viz:--

1st.  MAINS of HALLGREEN, containing about 200 acres arable, and 40 acres of pasture, all lying above the turnpike road leading from Bervie to Montrose, and as presently possessed by Andre Keddy.

These farms consist of very superior Wheat soil, with a south exposure; and are situated in the immediate vicinity of Inverbervie, and the sea port town of Gourdon; the turnpike road to Montrose passes through the lands, and few arms enjoy more local advantages, having an inexhaustible supply of Sea Weed from the Ware-hole of Gourdon, and shores of the estate, with a considerable command of Manure from the above towns.  The Town of Gourdon affords a well frequented Harbour for importing Lime and Coals, and exporting the produce of the lands, and a good weekly market is always found at Montrose, distant only 11 miles from the farms.  The Dwelling Houses and Steadings on the farms of Mains of Hallgreen and Sillyflatt are very commodious and complete, with a Thrashing Mill belonging to the proprietor attached to each steading.  

The farms will be found in excellent condition, and the entry of the incoming tenants highly favourable.

The lands will be shewn by Alexander Brown, ground officer in Bervie; and proposals for leases may be addressed to the Proprietor, James Farquhar Esq. M.P. Johnstone Lodge, by Laurencekirk; or to John Innes Esq. of Cowie, by Stonehaven; or Messrs. Innes and Dallas W.S. Edinburgh.
