| Note | CUNNINGHAM'S CREEK. The community was thrown into great consternation on Friday evening at the announcement that Mr. Sydney Brown, landlord of the Woolpack Inn, had committed suicide by cutting his throat from ear to ear. It appears that he had been engaged mowing,with a machine, in a paddock in front of his house during the early part of the day, and after dinner had the horses all ready to fasten to the machine. At about 2 o'clock he was seen by the housemaid to go down the path to the rear of thepremises. A quarter of an hour later Mrs. Brown inquired of him, and they started to search at the closet, whereby they found her husband lying dead in the closet. A messenger was sent to the constable stationed at Ilford, who was soon on thespot and removed the body to the house. On Saturday Mr. Armstrong, J.P., held a magisterial inquiry. Mr. Brown was thirty-two years old and a native of England, but has been in New South Wales quite a number of years. For about two years he has been well and favourably known as acoachman on the Mudgee and Cudgegong roads. He leaves a widow and five young children. For several days previous to committing the rash act, his friends noticed something like a sorrowful and uneasy appearance in his conduct, but never had any idea of his intention to destroy himself. He left no writing or other means by which canbe gathered the circumstances that led to the act, but it is surmised that he had become involved in pecuniary matters by good naturedly endorsing bills. The funeral took place from the house at 2 o'clock on Sunday evening and the body wasinterred in the cemetery at Ilord. Much sympathy is felt for Mrs. Brown.
