In Memoriam.

MR BDWAttD; MA.RSH.

ilt lis 1 6ur jpainfu'li f duty to announce that Air Edward Marsh's illness terminated m death this forenoon. For days past he has been lingering betwixt Hie and death,. Btill tenacious of the ifprmbj. bnji Hfrafonj f.<k the release from physical suffering that the latter would ' give. The late Mr Marsh was one of our best known bottlers, having been fil Watneks here for several years,thongh ffttfely nof having tollowjed active commercial pursuit?. He was a man of s,trict integrity, $}$$ * and honorable pVineiple/ and'possesssed of the besfrof feelings. Latterly haj has suffered much* but his determination of characactei; jW.asLAUch i that! his physical weakness was almost forgotten. Many men so enfeebled with loss of strength . as he would have succumbed long ago/ •but bib wonderful' Vila'li|y seemed to be without limit. Many on reading this notice, penned by one who was very familiar with the departed, and admired bis characteristic vigour of mind and hopeful disposition, will {eel that m .Mr, Marsh's death, a genuine and nbolehearted man has passed jaway. To his bereaved widow, now almost prostrate with 1 grief, and with days 1 and nights of constant watching, we r tender our sin* cereTes|)ectful sympathy in,her sore and trouble, 1 ' She is now p^rted^fiWui.' J a husband, between wbomj and herself "the cruel reaper whose name is death/ 1 will scarcely seter the 'faithful love which they bore each otheh , , ( The funeral of the latje 0 Mr Marsli will take place on Sunday afternoon at '2 o'cl'dck, and will be attended both by the Foresters and Masons, to both of which Societies he belonged.
