MILES is, we are glad to say, convalescing favourably. The Rev.J.G. STEPHAN of Goshen has gone to Europe for a holiday. Mr. HOBBS had an ox run over and killed by the afternoon train on Monday. There are two or three very dangerous round holes in the Whittlesea road between the junction with the Tylden road and Mr. BARTLETT’s gate. Death has been busy in Cathcart during the week. We regret to record that Mrs. F.C.FLETCHER died very suddenly on Monday evening. The unfortunate lady had been ailing for some little time but her symptoms were in no way of any grave import. On the evening in question, while Mr. FLETCHER was reading a letter, she suddenly fell back and must have expired instantaneously. The cause of death was fatty degeneration of the heart. She was buried on Tuesday afternoon, a large concourse of people, including the choir of St.Albans church being present. The deceased lady took great interest in church work and on Easter Sunday, although suffering from great physical weakness, attended church in order to make her Easter Communion. On Tuesday evening the infant son of Mr. H. T. ELLIOTT passed away after a long illness. We tender our sincere sympathies to both families.

He had been suffering for a long time from a painful disease, internal cancer, which he had borne with wonderful resignation. Deceased was one of the oldest inhabitants of Cathcart and very highly respected as one of those industrious, honest men who always pay their way and do their duty to family and community alike.
