Dann Or MIL Grown Cusaintit.—We have
this week to record the death of Mr. George
Chalker. It will be remembered that last week he
Issued an address to the burgesses as a candidate for the
municipal representation of Weymouth. On Tuesday
se'nnight, amid the excitement of the pending MINNIOD,
he became involved in &quarrel and was rather mesrely
handled. de had previously been suffering from
a complication of diseases, and this may bites
rendered the consequences of the melee more
serious than would otherwise have been the case. On
Wednesday night he went to the Duke of Cumberland
pablio-bouse, end there be was seised with a It,
nesemitating the calling in of Dr. Moorhead. He was
token to his dsughter's hones in St. Thomas-street,
whore he was attended by several medical gentlemen,
but in spite of their efforte he suffered from NUOOOIOIIIO
attacks of epileptiform convulsions, and last Weans,-
del' morning death terminated his sufferings. Mr.
Chalker was an old Weymouth tradesman, end latterly
has taken • prominent part in the local mould*
contests. He is about 50 years of age. Much regret
is felt in the tom that his death has occurred so
suddenly, and under such painful circumstances.

at large. Drawing from the pages of history, Male
Inglis instanced the example of Isabella of Owitile, who
bent her energise in the right way; and than
ir danced the converse clusseter of Cetherinide 'iodide,
who employed her beauty and brilliant ospesities in the

for good or evil in their relations as mothers,

lecture which was mast attentively listened to. At the

67 patients remaining on their books, yet had he not
exercised • discretionary power, and administered
medicines to patients without their first procuring
tickets this number would have be-en inerwised by from
20 to 30 more, as it frequently happened when
diarrhao and ether complaints sere rife, some persons
mime without tickets, and on the faith of their procur-
ing them in a day or two, he sometimes gave them
medicine, and tho first doss proving sufficient to arrest
the complaint, ha heard no more of the patients. The
aommittes approving of this exercise of discretion, Mr.
W. Eliot read the Amnon report, by which we find they
have • balance of £4O in band. The medical and
financial reports having been adopted, Er. 0 Arden
