ABERCROMBIE, of Beneath, Stirlingshire, Scotland, aged 24 years. The deceased's death was occasioned by an accidental gun shot wound received through his hand and wrist about a fortnight since. Medical aid was promptly obtained and the wounds progressed most favorably until three days before he died, when symptoms of tetanus and lock jaw set in; the convulsive spasms came on very suddenly and frequently, and were attended with great agony.
