Death of a Yeoman. - On Wednesday morning a solemn memorial service was held in Hawarden Parish Church by the Rev. Stephen Gladstone in connection with the death of Trooper Fox, brother to Mr. Fox, of Castle Hill, Hawarden. Trooper Fox joined the Cheshire Imperial Yeomanry, and the information was received in Hawarden on Monday morning by telegram that he had died at the Cape. The bells of the church rang a muffled peal, while the flag on the church was flying half mast. Strangers arriving at the village thought that the peal indicated that Mrs. Gladstone had died, but they were speedily informed that the peal, &c., were connected with the death of Mr. Fox. The memorial service was attended by the sorrowing relatives and friends, and Miss Helen Gladstone was also present. We might mention that Trooper Fox's mother is a native of Denbigh, being a daughter of the late Mr. Thomas Smedley, pig dealer, Henllan Place.
