      Death of Mr. Edward Hincks

      We last week alluded to the serious illness of this young man, eldest son of Rev. Canon Hincks, Rector of Trinity church, and this week we are called upon to chronicle his death. He passed away n Sabbath evening at 8 o'clock. As we previously mentioned, Mr. Hincks has been a sufferer from consumption for over a year, and has gradually declined since his return from California. He was a young man of much promise, and his early death is deeply regretted by his many friends. The funeral took place on Tuesday afternoon, the service being conducted by Rev. Dr. Beaumont, of Berlin.
