It is with regret that we record the death which took place this morning at her residence near .Malfroy’s bridge, Arahura Valley, of Mrs Bradley, wife of -Mr David Bradley, the well-known settler of that district. The deceased, who had been suffering for a considerable period, was a native of County Derry, Ireland, and came to New Zealand some forty-six years ago, and had reached the age of 73 years.

Edward Venning, an engine driver in the employ of the Westport Coal Company, while mounting a boiler fell off the ladder on Friday morning and died a few minutes later.
