DEATH OF LIEUTENANT-COLONEL MAUDE, OF SELABY PARK.

Colonel Maude had been connected with the Durham Militia since 1853, when he entered the regiment as captain, and he became Lieut. Colonel on the 15th of March 1858. He was respected and venerated by all and his demise will be sincerely deplored by the regiment.

The deceased gentleman was in the 69th year of his age, and has left a widow to lament her sudden bereavement.
