In another column appears notice of the death of William SMALL, age 93. Mr. Small was a native of Watten Parish, Caithness, Scotland and came from Scotland to Halifax, N.S. about 1813. After some years spent in that city and others parts of Nova Scotia, he came to N.B. and was resident on the Miramichi at the time of the Great Fire in 1825, of which he retained to the last a vivid remembrance. In St. John he, in connection with Robert WALLACE, now post office inspector of British Columbia, under firm name Wallace & Small, established the first brass foundry in this city on Union St., the site now occupied by Charles Peter's tannery. After the dissolution of the partnership, Mr. Small continued a handsome business at Tisdale's corner for a number of years. He retired some 20 years ago. The deceased gentleman was an elder in St. David's Prebyterian Church. He leaves eight living children, three sons and five daughters. Mrs. Small died some 15 mos. since. Mr. Small died of old age, after being confined to his bed about two weeks. He retained full possession of his faculties to the last.
