DEATH OF MRS MACANDREW.

We regret to have to record the death of Mrs E. H. Macandrew, wife of his Honor James Macandrew, Superintendent of this Province, and sister to the Honorable William Hunter Reynolds. For some time past she has suffered severely from a painful and lingering disorder which ended fatally yesterday. Mrs Macandrew’s loss will be much felt- by society, for though retiring in her habits, she was ever foremost in promoting works calculated to benefit all classes, and especially institutions having for their object the elevation of woman’s character. In fulfilment of those self-imposed duties she was untiring, and having the advantage of a sound education and clear natural judgment, her aid and industry in organising efficient moans for the accomplishment of the proposed objects were invaluable. Much as she has done almost unknown to the public, it was not at the expense of neglect of home duties, as she was not less devoted to careful training of her family than to forwarding every good object. Her children as well as those whom she has benefitted will cherish the remembrance of her, as of one whose life was spent in faithful discharge of her duties as wife, mother, and Christian. When her decease was announced the eusigns at the Harbor office and of the vessels in Port Chalmers were hoisted half-mast high.
