DIED near New Rush, Diamond-fields, on the 2nd February 1873, Charles, second son of Mr. Henry DENNISON, aged 24 years.

A SAD CASE A fine young man of the name of DENNISON, aged 24, was buried in the New Rush cemetery yesterday afternoon, the service being performed by the Rev J. Priestly. It appears that he was attacked with dysentery at the Orange River on his way hither, and died at WESSEL’s Farm, about nine miles from the camp. Deceased was accompanied by his father, who is naturally much distressed.
