MR F. READ.
It in also our painful duty to report the death of Mr. Frederick Read, of Calarie, a very old resident of the district, which took place in the local hospital, on Friday morning last. Deceased was 73 years of age, the cause of death being heart failure. His end was hastened by an operation he had to undergo some time ago for an internal complaint, from which he had been suffering for some time. Deceased is survived by a grown up family. The funeral on Friday afternoon was to the Church of England cemetery, Rev. H. H. Mirrington performing the last sad rites at the graveside.
