Deep regret has been caused at Deniliquin (the local correspondent of the "Age" states) by the death of Dr. Alfred W. F. Noyes on Tuesday, after a short illness, aged 68. Deceased received the diploma of M.R.C.S. in London, and practised there for a short time, after which he joined the army service, in order to gain experience, and subsequently emigrated to Australia. About 40 years ago he accepted the position of hospital surgeon at Deniliquin, where he had continued to practise his profession ever since. He was a prominenent freemason, was for several years alderman, and on three occasions occupied the mayoral chair. At the time of his death Dr. Noyes was gaol surgeon, coroner, and a member of tbe licensing bench and old age pensions board.
