An Entertainment at Heart’s Ease, Trinity Bay – On the evening of the 22nd of February quite an enjoyable time was spent at Heart’s Ease, Trinity Bay. An entertainment was given by the scholars of the Church of England School. Although being the first given by them, the whole performance was remarkably well done. It consisted of dialogues, songs, due’s, etc. Much credit is due to Miss Purchase, their teacher, who must have taken great pains in training the children. Thanks are also due to Miss P. Alcock and Mr. Seward, who kindly came forward and helped to make the evening more pleasant. On the following afternoon a tea was given by two kind ladies.

An accident which makes the flesh creep happened on Tuesday at the west entrance of the Parade Rink by which door the fire sufferers are served with flour and provisions. A young girl of about thirteen years, named Hannah Drodge, presented herself for admission. When those in front of her passed in she was pressed forward by those behind, and she placed her fingers in the jamb of the open door in the act of entering. At that instant the individual in charge of admitting the people shut the door suddenly, crushing the fingers of the unfortunate girl in the most dreadful manner. She screamed out with pain, and those beside her shouted to the janitor, but the fellow only pushed the door too more closely, till somehow he at last perceived the terrible plight of the poor girl and drew open the door. The hapless victim, almost fainting with pain, released her hand from the place to which the cruel pressure had almost glued it. She was taken by her friends to Dr. Harvey, who promptly dressed the bruised limb. The young girl is an orphan, and a native of Little Heart’s Ease, Trinity Bay. She came on here just before the fire to go into service, and was residing with an aunt, who was burnt out, and the unfortunate girl lost all her clothes. She now resides at Riverhead, and her case has been represented to the Relief Committee, who will no doubt bestow upon her the help and assistance she so badly needs. – Royal Gazette.
