DEATH OK AN OLD INHABITANT IN AUSTRALIA.— We are sure many old Slerthyrians will hear with regret the news of the death of Mrs. Mary Williams, wife of Mr. Thomas Williams, builder, Carisbrooke, Australia, and formerly of this town. Mr. Williams is one of two brothers of Mr. Joseph Williams, Tilst Office, who both emigrated 42 years ago during the gold fever in 1854. Mrs. Williams was a sister of Mr. I Waikin Watkins, Grawen-terrace, one of the oldest deacons of Tabernacle Baptist Chapel. Her death occurred on the 7th of January, and was the result of an accident which she had met with a few weeks pre- viously. Whilst returning from a drive with one ot her grand-children, and when only five yards from the house, the horse suddenly bolted, and she was thrown out of the bugsry, which overturned, and Mrs. Williams was found underneath. After being carried to the house she was medically attended, and strong hopes were entertained of her ultimate recovery but on the date mentioned above, without almost any warning, she passed peacefully away, at the age of 64 years, leaving behmd a loving husband with six sons and three daughters to mourn her loss. A memorial sermon was preached the following Sunday by her pastor, the Rev. H. Greenwood, who bore testimony to the high Christian character of the deceased lady, who had been a most faithful member of his church for tho last 35 years.
