Several cases of. typhoid fever in
Benalla are reported.. One death, we
regret to say, has already occurred
from this malady, the victim being a
young' man, about 19 years of age,
named John Burrell, Who on Tuesday
night. succumbed to this dread affec-
tion after a sickening of but a few
days The deceased young man was
a native of Benalla, and was for several
years in the employ of Mr M'Burney,
chemist. He was universally liked,
and on all sides is heard sympathy for
his widowed mother in this her third
painful' bereavement. The funeral
will take place to-day.
