For some time bis bealth bad been failing. Ualy eight weeiis before his death, which oc- cured on 29th April, did the serious aspect <.f his case strike either himself or family. Speech and motion soon be- came difficult, and towards the end im- possible. His remains were interred in the Presbyterian burying grounds, Fever- sham, by Revs. Hudson and Legott. Affecting and appropriate retiarks were made by them. His widow, four bons and two daughtsrs mourn their irrepar- able loss. They have the sympathy of the entL-e community.
