DEATHS.

 

On Wednesday morning last, at the house of his brother-in-law, Mr. John WHARTON, Spread Eagle Inn, in this city, aged 45, whither he had returned for the recovery of his health, Mr. Geo. JOHNSTON, master gunner, King's-town Forts, near Dublin, to which situation he was appointed about ten months ago; prior to which appointment he resided in Carlisle for several years, respected by a numerous acquaintance.

He was the father of the Methodist Society in that town, and the founder of the chapel belonging to that religious body, of which he was an exemplary member for 56 years; though, according to the advice of the venerable WESLEY, he maintained a strict attendance upon, and constant communion with, the Established Church.

The benevolence of her disposition was unbounded; she was the protector of the orphan, the friend of the friendless. The poor in her neighbourhood will long lament her loss, for she had a heart 'open as day to melting charity,' and a hand ever ready to succour them in all their wants. Miss CRAIK was the eldest daughter of the late Mr. CRAIK, Arbigland, in Galloway.
