deeply regret to announoe the death of 81 Francis Wood,
Bart., the descendant of one who wee respeeted through-
out the county, and of a grandfather whose name
prominently in one of the moat exciting periods =
national history. The deceased sneorodrd to the title and
estates of his house on the death of the Bev. Sir John
Page Wood, just two years and two months ago ; and
though he had not since then taken a very active part in
the business of the county, from the one or two occasions
in which he had appeared in public, it was predicted that
he would uphold the popularity of the name. He was
seined , by rapid sonaumption, and died at Riven-
hall-place on Tuesday last, at the eV of 34. The
late baronet was educated at Trinity C Cambridge ;
he married in 18.54 Louise Mary, eldest ughter of Mr.
Robert Beams. of Appleshaw, Hants, and he is suc-
ceeded by his eon, now Sir Matthew, a youth only lOyears
of elm, besides whom he alai leaves a daughter, Caroline
Emusa.—CAelnuford Chronicle.
