MELANCHOLY EVENT – A labourer, named John Welsh, residing at Galashiels, left that town about the
middle of last week, with the intention of proceeding to Thornhill in search of employment. He slept on the road
when passing St Mary’s Loch. The weather was wild and wet in the lowlands, and would, no doubt, be still
more severe among the hills. He managed, however, to reach the valley of Moffat water, and was sheltered in a
shepherd’s house at Carifrane, on the farm of Mr Johnstone, Caplegill. Mr Johnstone, when informed of the
circumstance, humanely sent to Moffat for medical aid; when this arrived, however, the poor fellow was beyond
the healing art – he died early on Sunday morning. The medical man pronounced the case to be one of cholera,
brought on by exposure to wet and cold. The body was brought to Moffat, and interred there, on Sunday
afternoon. – Dumfries Courier.

supervened, and on Sunday morning Mr Smith died, at his residence, Wellhouse... – Inverness Courier.

upon a chair with her clothes in flames. She was immediately removed to the Infirmary, where she died on

with the same lamentable result, took place in a house in the Killie Brae, West Port, from which an unpleasant
smell of combustion having issued from the window, the door was forced open, and the occupant of the room,
Mrs Hannah Reid, also a widow, was found lying upon the floor, near the fire place, with her clothes burned to
cinders, and herself quite dead. It is supposed that in both cases the unfortunate woman had been the worse of
liquor. – Courant.

to Corpach, a distance of two miles....the boat reached Corpach... the party remained at Corpach until nine, and
while there partook rather freely of whisky, the Camerons having drank five or six glasses a piece... the night
was dark and very cold... it seems that they had not pulled far from the Corpach shore, on the return home with
Mr and Mrs Whatmore, when the Camerons quarrelled about the boat’s course, there was some confusion, and
at length the boat went aground on a bank. Being ebb-tide, the Camerons were unable to get the boat afloat,
although they jumped into the water up to the middle... eventually the tide rose, and they made it to the ferry-
house, where the Whatmore’s left... the Camerons departed again... the boat was found submerged with the
Camerons on board dead... – Inverness Courier.

ACCIDENT AT LARGS – An Accident happened at Largs some days since, which has terminated fatally. The
unfortunate individual was William Moody, nurseryman and land-surveyor. Going home on a dark night he took
down to the harbour by mistake, and went over its breast. Some men heard the plunge, and made every effort to
save him. When nearly a quarter of an hour in the water they managed to pick him up. He was thought to be
dead at the time, but on their having recourse to the usual restoratives he showed signs of life. It was thought he
would soon recover, but from the quantity of water he had swallowed, he died on Friday morning. – Greenock
Advertiser.

ply the ferry at all times of tide... – Courant
FATAL ACCIDENT AT THE PERTH LUNATIC ASYLUM – There has been considerable talk in Perth during

the keeper says that Mitchell made an assault upon him, and in pushing him off he fell, a struggle ensued, and he
was so injured that he died on the following day. There is no reason to suspect foul play, but the matter will be
fully investigated by the Procurator-Fiscal. – Perth Advertiser.
