Married,

On Friday, 14th ult. at Castlecaulfield Church, by the Rev. Thomas Carpendale, Mr. William Irwine, of Mullaghmore, to Miss Margaret M’Minn, of Dungannon.

Died,

On the 29th ult. of inflammation of the bowels, Mr. Thomas Johnston, of High-street: a man of strict probity in all his dealings, of steady industry, and of great goodness of heart. He was a loving husband, a kind father, beloved by his neighbours, and respected by all who knew him. His sudden and unexpected decease is another proof of the uncertainty of human life, the unimportance of all earthly interests, and the paramount necessity of daily preparation for death.
