From an overdose of morphia, taken medicinally, aged 23, Dr. Ritchie, one of the most rising physicians in London. "Last week," says the Medical Times and Gazette, "he was quite well; now he is in his grave. On Thursday night he was well, cheerful, and busy; on Friday afternoon [Dec. 29] he was dead. He had been in the habit of working late at night and taking strong tea; then, being wakeful, he took occasionally a little morphia. It had on two or three occasions been difficult to rouse him in the morning, but last Friday he could not be roused at all. He had evidently taken an overdose. He was alive, but all attempts to support life were unavailing. An inquest was held, and these facts were brought out, as well as the proofs that he was in very prosperous money circumstances, and was about to start on Friday for a week's holiday in Scotland with his relations. The verdict was 'Death from morphia taken medicinally.' Dr. Ritchie, though only twenty-three years old, had already earned for himself a name which will endure in the history of medical science."

He was for a short time entered in Lodge's "Peerage and Baronetage," and also in Mr. Walford's "County Families," as having succeeded to the baronetcy; but as no satisfactory evidence was produced to show upon what ground he assumed the title, his name has been omitted from more recent editions.

Westmeath, and secondly, in 1844, to Charlotte, dau. of Colonel Patton, and eaves, by the former, a son, William, vicar of Whitchurch, Dorset, who, if he can show a clear line of descent from the Palmers of Wingham, would now become a baronet.

At Vienna, aged 80, M. Henry Anschütz, who was generally allowed to be the first of the German actors. The deceased was for more than forty years a member of the Burg Theatre, and it was not until four or five years ago that his powers of body and mind began to fail him.

His battalion attacked the Russian batteries, but their ranks having been thinned by a discharge of grape-shot, and most of the officers killed or wounded, the men hesitated, no longer hearing the voice of their chiefs. Then Frouty ran forward and sounded the charge, the men advanced, and the Mamelon Vert was carried. The old bugler received the cross of the Legion of Honour for this daring act. His brother, a labourer like himself, attended the funeral, likewise wearing the cross of the Legion of Honour, which he had received for saving several lives during the late inundations. -Galignani. At Rosslea, in Fermanagh, aged 95, Luke Lynch, "a man," says the Ulster Observer, "who might with justice be cited as an illustration of the saying 'that it is amongst the Irish peasantry the real nobility of the country may be found. Although this man occupied a comparatively humble position in society, and although he was born and lived all his life in a retired district, he could trace

com

a direct line of descent from the Redhanded Neill, from the Owen Roe, from the O'Reillys of Cavan, and from the M'Mahons of Monaghan and Dartry. The deceased had a brother who, about forty years ago, emigrated to South Carolina, and settled at Cheraw, where he became an extensive planter. One of his sons was a major-general in the Confederate army, but was prevented by sickness from taking active service. Another son, James, was a colonel, and manded on James's Island, off Charleston, during some of Gilmore's most deter mined attacks; he died in the service. Another son is the Right Rev. P. N. Lynch, Bishop of South Carolina, who lately visited Europe on a diplomatic mission from the Government of Mr. Davis, and while here he visited his uncle at Rosslea. At that time his father was in good health, and on a visit with another son, Dr. John Lynch, of Columbia, S.C. The deceased was a man of very considerable attainments, and intimately acquainted with every phase of Irish politics. He could freely converse on every political change that came over the country since he saw the volunteers of 1782 under drill, and he retained his mental faculties to the last."
