DEATH OF MR. JAMES BURNETT
We have to-day to perform the very painful duty of recording the death of Mr. James Burnett, Mining Surveyor, a gentleman who was well known throughout the whole of the Nelson Province. Mr. Burnett had for about ten days been confined to his bed by a o attack of low fever which had greatly weakened him, but yesterday he was considerably better, and a telegram to that effect was despatched to Mrs. Burnett, who, with a portion of her family, is ou a visit to Tarauaki. Last night, however, he suddenly became worse, and gradually sunk until 8 o'clock this morning, when he breathed his last. Mr. Burnett, as we have said, was well known throughout the province, and to this we may add that he was universally respected ty all who had the pleasure of being acquainted with him. His sudden removal from amongst us has thrown a deep gloom over the town, and the news will be received throughout the country with the most heartfelt regret. It will be seen that, as a mark of respect to the memory of the deceased gentleman, the proprietors of many of the principal places of business in town will close their offices at one o'clock on Monday, on which day the funeral will take place. mmmmaßHmmmamammMumttmmißmßammeamMaamanmmatra
