The circumstances attending his admission to the institution are somewhat painful. Dunning, who occupied a small cottage in a lane off Madras sfreet, was on the 14th inst. found lying in his yard, apparently very ill, by two neighbors. They informed the police, and the man was removed to the hospital. He was found to be suffering from appendicitis, and peritonitis set in, causing his death.
