DEATH OF MR. JAMES BURNETT.

From the Nelson Evening Mail, Feb. 24.

We have to-day to perform the very painful duty of recording the death, of Mr James Burnett, Mining Surveyor, a gentle man who was well known throughout the whole of the Nelson Province. Mr Bur nett had for about ten days been confined to his bed by an attack of low fever which had greatly weakened, him, but yesterday he was considerably better, and a telegram to that effect was despatched to Mrs Burnett, who, with a portion of her family, is on a visit to Taranaki. Last night, how ever, he suddenly became worse, and gradually sunk until 8 o'clock this morn ing, when he breathed his last. Mr Bur nett, as we have said, was well known throughout the province, and to this we may add that he was universally respected by all who had the pleasure of being acquainted with him.

"Sarah, have any of those mischievous chih dren been playing with the piano while I have been out of town ? Some of the keys won't sound at all'" Sarah—" Please, mum, I don't know nothing about it—leastwise, Master Tom said there was something wrong with it, that he was sure there was a mouse in it. So he got Joe to hold up the cover, while he put the dog and cat into it; but instead of catchin' the mouse, mum, they took to fightin,' and it did make such a funny noise in among the wires—so, maybe, mum, the mouse is there still, mum.
