The danger that may arise from sleeping in an atmosphere laden with the perfume of flowers has, we are toM in the Standard , just received a fresh illustration of a very painful nature. Two young people residing in a Parisian suburb, who had been married but a few weeks, went to pay a visit to their grandparents on their Return from their honeymoon trip. After dinner the elder folks retired to rept, leaving the young couple in the garden. The following morning their nonappearance at the breakfast table excited some surprise, which was increased when, on the room whiqh they were supposed to have occupied being 'visited, it was found empty. A search in the grounds was instantly made without leading to any result; but ultimately an under-gardener opened the door of the conservatory, and drew back .in. consternation. The bodies of the two young people were found there, reclining in a couple of garden chairs, in a perfectly natural posture as though asleep. On a doctor being fetched, however, he'stated that life had been extinct for some hours, death having evidently been occasioned by the poisonous odors which the flowers gave out during the-night. It is surmised that the deceased had entered the conservatory to obtain shelter from a passing shower, that they had unintentionally dropped asleep there, and thus painlessly, passed from life to death. At a meeting of the Committee of the Gospel Temperance Mission held last evening, in the vestry of the Wesleyan Church, the report of the Treasurer, Mr D. H. Brown, was read, showing that the sum of Lll 19s 6d had been received and expended, and that the Mission had been financially a success. The thanks of the Oommittee were heartily tendered to all Who assisted in any way to bring about this result. During the Mission there were 201 new pledges, and 397 donned the bide ribbon. The Committee are waiting to hear the result of the Conference to be held in Christchurch this week, as further work may have to bo done under their auspices in the count} of Ashburton, or still further in the township itself.
