Death of Colin Gould.

DEATH CLAIMS JOHN GOULD.

Our readers, if they have not already heard, will be both pained and surprised to know that John Gould was called from this world of sickness and trouble, to that bourn, from which no trave'er e'er returns. It was severe shock to his immediate relatives as well as his friends, for it seems that when he failed to get up in the morning as usual, his mother went to call him and found he had died sometime between night and morning. Imagine the shock to those left behind, as they entered his room to find that he was no more.
