With deep regret We have to record
this week the death Of Mr.. Daniel Null
larkey, of Cloonca, which occurred on
goth November. The deceased, who was
member of very old and highly re-
spected family, was a general favorite
with all who knew him. Though in de-
clining health for some months past, his
death came with somewhat of shock to
those who saw him, some short time pre-
vious, in apparent good health, attending
to his usual business. The esteem in
which he was held was we'll testified by
the crowd which followed his remains, on
November Odd, TO their last resting place
in the family burying place in Banada
Abbey.
