ST. BATHANS.
August 4.— Mr W. M'Oonnochie, J.P., recently sustained a great bereavement by tho death of his eldest son, of inflammation of the lungs. Deceased was a fine, promising little fellow, and had just began to go to school. Ho showed signs of illness on the Thursday of the week preceedfng his death, and was put to bed, but nothing serious waa then apprehended. The disease was at first croup, but gradually developed into pneumonia. It was thought a few days before his death that the crisis had been passed, and that he was Jn a fair way for recovery. During the whole illness Dr Money was unremitting in his attention, and all that skill and care could do was dono. The funeral, which took place on July 22, was one of the most largely attended that has ever taken place in the district. The remains were borne shoulder high by 12 little boys appropriately dressed with badges of mourning. Much sympathy ia felt for Mr and Mrs M'Connochie in their loss.
