THE REMAINS OF OLD. RESIDENTS

are coming back to the colony for interment. This is rather unusual, but on Sunday last all that was mortal of Dr. Chalmers was interred at the Protestant Cemetery at Wong-nei-cheong, and now we learn that the ashes of the late Mr. Granville Sharp (who was cremated in England) are coming out here for intorment. I hear that almost all the colony are to be invited to the funeral and afterwards to hear the will read, which document is said to be a remarkable one in many ways.

Text read from the printed page and cleaned; old type leaves the occasional error.
