      ______________________

      Sad Bereavement - The many friends of Mr. John Milroy, of North Dumfries, will sympathise with that gentleman in the painfully sudden death of his youngest son, Mr. Daniel McNab Milroy, a young man barely past his majority. On Saturday morning the young man complained of a severe headache, and did not go to work that day, but remained in the house. Sunday morning he appeared no worse, although saying his head was very little better. As his illness was looked upon as trifling, the family, with the exception of his sister, went to church. While absent at church, the young man became very much worse, delirium setting in. Dr. Lundy was at once called in, but by that time the gravity of the symptoms was greatly aggravated, so much so as to cause the utmost anxiety for the result. Unremitting attention and the best medical skill availed nothing, and after a few more hours of suffering, this bright, active young man passed away to his long rest. Inflammation of the brain was the cause of death.
