OBITUARY.—We are sorry to have to record the death of Mr. Addicoat, an old resident of this town. Soon after mining operations were commenced on the Barrier silver field, Mr. Addicoat left Burra in quest of employment, which he obtained at the Broken Hill mine, but had not been at work very long underground before he met with an accident, by the fall of some timber, and received internal injuries, which necessitated his return home, where after suffering nearly two years he succumbed on Wednesday morning last to internal hemorrhage.
