The manager of the Orange Slaughtering Company went into the chamber wherein refrigerating machinery was at work, and the door suddenly closed upon him. Ho was thus subjected to the full effect of a temperature very considerably below freezing point, and speedily recognised its deadly influence.

His sensations of old must have been similar to those persons, who have occasionally been lowered into Alpine crevasses. Wanganui, Juno 20. The Wanganui Exhibition closed on Saturday.
