Mr. J. Wayell.

The members of the Portsmouth Branch deeply regret to record the death of Br. James Wavell, who died March 29th, 1878, at the age of 49 years. He has been suffering for the last three years, and succumbed at last to chronic emphysema and dilated bronchitis. He was one of our oldest members—he joined in December, 1865—and was a thorough unionist. May our loss be his gain.
