DEATHS
On Wednesday last, at Dromer Stile, Anthony Parrington, aged 22. This makes the fifth of the family that has fallen a victim to the malignant fever, the disease having been brought home by the eldest son out of Scotland, where he had been labouring on the Caledonian Railway. A subscription has been very charitably set on foot to aid the distressed farmer in getting in his hay and other crops to which he cannot raise a helping hand out of his family. J. Braithwaite, Esq., Orrest Head, has kindly undertaken to become treasurer of this fund.
