Johnson of North Bourke, died in the Bourke DistrictHospital after a lingering illness, the cause being consumption. Miss Johnson was 29 years of age, and except for the past two years, was a splendid specimen of womanhood. Her death will be deeply regrettedby her many friends and relations, with whom we sympathise in their bereavement. The funeral took place on Monday, the Rev. J. H. S.
