A Sad Death.

Deceased, who came from Pahiatua some weeks ago, bad been out of work, and his family were in receipt of charitable aid. The evidence showed that notwithstanding that be was a prohibited person he somewhere got enough liquor to make him drunk ; but it was not clear whether he fell in a drunken sleep on the line or deliberately laid down and courted death. A verdict to that effect was returned, the driver of the train being exonerated from all blame. __^ i^ — _______
