At Dumfries, Alex. WALKER, shoemaker, aged 62, and Margaret, his wife, aged 65, expired in bed on Monday morning—the one at a few minutes past six, and the other at a quarter to seven o'clock; and both may be said to have been in the agonies of death at the same moment. At six o'clock Mrs. WALKER felt very unwell, and rose for the purpose of procuring a cup of cold water; but in getting out of bed she became so weak, that she suddenly staggered, and sunk on the ground inanimate and insensible. Her husband, who was then perfectly collected, immediately rose and lifted her into bed, and in a very few moments heard her draw her last sigh. At this time some of the neighbours were present, and as the tears flowed from the old man's eyes, he remarked that "he should not be long after her." The words were prophetic, for in little more than half an hour he too was in eternity. Mr. WALKER laboured under an affection of the heart, and had been complaining much of an acute pain in the left arm—one of the symptoms of that disease. A son of the deceased had gone to work in his father's house at the early hour of two o'clock on Monday morning, and his mother rose and trimmed the lamp for him within an hour of her death.

 

At the Infirmary, Newcastle, of apoplexy, John EWAN, aged 74, who for upwards of 25 years held the office of Porter to that charity. In the coffers of this ancient servant were found hoarded £1059 11s. 9¼d. chiefly in gold, and in his wardrobe nineteen shirts, fifteen coats, fifteen waistcoats, and thirteen pairs of small clothes! The property of this saving, and as he often termed himself, "needy" man, has been divided amongst four of his relatives, three nephews and a niece.
