QUEENSTOWN.

*-t We have to announce with deep regret the death of Mr. John Mcßride of the Harp of Erin Hotel. Mr. Mcßride for many years was resident in this town, where, for some time, he was partner in the firm of Robinson, Dick, and Mcßride. He was also largely interested in gold-mining, and generally took an active part in any measure calculated to benefit the district. His death was sudden. It occurred in the 36th year of his age, on the night of Thursday, June 29. A week previously, his numerous friends and relatives had been summoned to attend, the funeral of his youngest child, a little girl of about 15 months old. He has left to deplore his loss, an aged father and mother, together with a widow and one little boy. Much sympathy is felt with this family in their affliction, for the deceased was widely esteemed. His charitable disposition ever inclined him to help those who were in want of assistance, and his purse or influence were always to be found at the service of those who were in need of aid. . He was a devoted son of the Catholic Church, and his funeral was one of the most fully attended that have taken place here. — JJ.I.P.
