DR. M'CAMBRIDGE.

A more: painful duty than that which we have now to perform has not, since our advent here, been our province to record. We allude to the death of Dr: Daniel M'Cambridge,

who expired yesterday afternoon, at his residence, about four p.m. So far as we have been able to gather them the tacts of the case are these:—

0n Sunday night last Dr.

M'Cambridge was called upon to attend suffering humanity at Hyde, and with that general kind heartedness for which the deceased gentleman was celebrated, went upon :his errand of mercy, notwithstanding the heavy fall of snow and the se-

vere frost which covered the ground. Between Naseby and the Kyeburn Hotel (near what is known as Sanders' gate) through some mishap, up to the present time unexplained, the doctor was thrown from hi? horse, the fall resulting in the breaking of several ribs., and the infliction of several ouside as well as internal injuries, to the effects, of which he succumbed on the afternoon of yesterday. We fear that the loss which the place has sustained by the death cf Dr. M'Cambridge, will not be easily supplied. For a number of years the only legally qualified. medical practitioner in the district, there are few who have not something to say alike of his humanity, urbanity, and ability. The utmost that can be said of him we cordially endorse, and can only say, in addition, "a good man has departed.— peace be with his ashes.". Dr M'Cambridge leaves a widow, with, however, no children.
