CUMBERNAULD
DEATH OF MR JAMES DANSKIN. - The community
of this neighborhood would receive with regret the
announcement of the death of this esteemed native,
which occurred in Glasgow on the 17th inst., at the
advanced age of 84. Mr Danskin had been some-
what frail for the past few years, but when not kept
indoors by illness, he was frequently coming in con-
tact with many people belonging to the district re-
siding in Glasgow, by shom he was greatly respected
for his estimable character, and hearty interest
he took in matters relating to his native place. He
exerted himself in forwarding the annual re-unions
of the natives, which were originated in Glasgow
some years ago, and earned the gratitude
of the supporters of that movement for
valuable help which he gave to it. Mr Danskin spent
nearly the whole of his life in his native village, and
was always held in much esteem by all who knew
him. For a long period he was an elder in the Free
Church there, and fulfilled the duties of of that position
with honour to himself and acceptance to the congre-
gation. for the last few years he has resided with
his family in Glasgow, and the many friends by whom
he was deeply respected will be sorry that he has been
taken from amongst us.
