Robert Shand, Bognie

Died at Bognie, on the 21st Feb. aged 86, ROBERT SHAND, one, perhaps, of the most extraordinary pedestrians in this pedestrian age.  He continued to possess all his faculties, especially his activity, to the last hour of his existence.  In his 85th year, he was employed as runner from the parish of Forgue to the Post Office at Huntly, where he went three times a-week, sometimes oftener; which distance (14 miles going and returning) he accomplished with ease in less than 4 hours.  The same year, he offered, for a bet of 20s., to walk to Aberdeen, and return within 24 hours, a distance of at least 70 miles.  He was originally bred a shoemaker, but for several years past worked as a day labourer; and last summer, was occasionally employed in casting divots, a work that required considerable strength and exertion; and has been known to go to Banff, distant 15 miles, upon a trifling errand, after performing a hard day's labour.  The last day of his life he eat his breakfast as usual; and was arrested by the hand of death while enjoying his favourite exercise of walking some distance, carrying a bundle of sticks he had collected for fuel.

George Copland, Dyce

DEFAMATION.

WHEREAS some evil disposed person or persons have lately propagated a report that GEORGE COPLAND, Farmer and Shoemaker at Pitmedden, in the parish of Dyce, has been in the practice of employing himself as a common Informer, seemingly with intent to ruin him in the estimation of his friends and neighbours, and thereby to work the overthrow of him and his family; and as the charge is false and totally without foundation, on his part, he hereby offers a Reward of TEN GUINEAS to any person who will give such information as may be the means of bringing the first propagator of this false and malicious libel to justice and conviction.

Boy killed by coal cart

A shocking accident happened on Friday in the Broad Street. - As a boy was running across the street from Long Acre, his foot slipped, and he fell before a loaded coal-cart, one of the wheels of which passing over his neck, killed him on the spot.  He was a fine boy of about 10 years of age, the son of a Shoemaker of the name of Reid, at Gilcomston, who, as well as the disconsolate mother, are in a situation of inexpressible distress.  It is but justice to add, that no blame seems to attach to the driver, who was carefully holding the halter of his horse; and although driving slowly, did not observe the sudden accident of the boy's fall, so as to prevent the melancholy consequence.
