Notes:

Jesse Carrick - SAD ACCIDENT - A very melancholy accident happened in North Dumfries on Saturday morning last, whereby a young child of Mr. Robert Carrick, of North Dumfries, about three years of age, received such injuries that its life is despaired of. The mother, it appears, had just taken a pot of boiling water off the stove and had set it on the floor, when the little thing lifter the steamer off the top of the pot, and in turning sharp round struck the stove with the steamer, throwing her off her balance, and causing her to fall in a sitting position into the water. The poor little thing was terribly scalded, convulsions setting in directly; and from present appearances the doctor in attendance has but small hopes of her recovery. -Since the above was written we regret to learn that the hopes at one time entertained of the little sufferer's recovery, have not been realized, and that she passed to her rest on Wednesday evening last. The funeral will take place to-day, (Friday), at 1 o'clock. The parents will have the sympathy of the entire community in their saddening bereavement.
