DIED. At North McGregor, May 30th, 1861, Mary Ravella, daughter of Hester Ann and Joseph Killinger, aged 1 year, 3 months and 7 days.
The above death resulted from eating lucifer matches. Parents will notice this death and profit by it. Many persons are not aware of the poisonous nature of a match, and take no care to keep them out of the way of their little ones. They might just as well place arsenic in their hands and let them play with it.
Drs Hyde and Lowe were in council on the above case.
