DEATH NOTICE
DIED near Somerset on the 26th inst, Eliza, the beloved wife of Mr. Benjamin SARGEANT, in the 39th year of her age. She had been a member of the Wesleyan Church 19 years; was eminently a woman of meek and quiet spirit, and adorned her profession by an unvarying course of Christian consistency. By this painful bereavement a family of seven children has been deprived of the tender care of an affectionate mother, who with her husband and a large circle of friends deplore her loss. The estimation in which she was deservedly held by the inhabitants of Somerset has been displayed by the deep sympathy manifested towards her husband and children on this trying occasion.

DIED January 8th 1855, (at the residence of his father near Fort England) Wm. WELLBELOVED, aged 27 years. The deceased endured with exemplary fortitude a long and severe illness. By this painful event a widow and 2 children are left to deplore their melancholy bereavement, and his parents the irreparable loss of a most dutiful and affectionate son.

NOTICE
The undersigned begs to notify that having entered into a Partnership with Mr Henry CRUMP, the Business hitherto carried on by him will be continued as usual under the style of McMASTER & CRUMP.
