      SUDDEN DEATH IN PRESTON

      A very sudden death took place in the neighboring village of Preston on Monday last. Mrs. William Dalgleish had been on a visit to Galt and other places on Monday, returning home about 4 o'clock. After getting out of the cutter she walked a few steps towards her own door when she staggered and tell and before she could be carried into the house her spirit had fled. Mrs. Dalgleish had been in but indifferent health for some years, having been subject to fainting fits. She was in the 69th year of her age, and was widely known and respected. . With her husband, she came, to Dumfries in 1834, settling then, if we mistake not, near Mr. John Edgar's. The family lived there for a number of years, and then moved to a farm in Waterloo, after leaving which Mr. and Mrs. Dalgleish resided for a few years in Ayr, and latterly in the village of Preston. The interment took place at Cedar Creek Cemetery yesterday afternoon.
