      Death of Mr. Jared Dryden

      We regret to state that this well-known resident of North Dumfries passed away very unexpectedly on Tuesday morning last. Mr. Dryden was in town, we have been informed, on Saturday, and although then not feeling well, nothing serious was anticipated. On Sunday he became much worse, and gradually sank until Tuesday morning, when death relieved him from his sufferings. He was 40 years old the day of his death. Mr. Dryden was the eldest son of Mr. James Dryden, of North Dumfries. The family has suffered severely from sickness this summer, diphtheria and other diseases having visited them and Mrs. Asa Dryden having suffered a stroke of paralysis, from which, even yet, she has but partially recovered. Mr. Jared Dryden was a widower and leaves three children. We regret to learn that his brother, who has achieved a position as a stenographer and as a writer, has been laid up for quite a time with a disease of the arm, and, while somewhat better, anticipates being unable to accept any position for some time.
