News iva 3 received by the hi't English IVfai 1 of the death of George Rich, Esq., a New Zealand pioneer, and widely blown as one of the succesful breeders of si ioep stock in these colonies. As far back as a quarter of n century ago, Mr. Eieli had earned for himself a name by the purity and superiority of his breed of sheep, and received from the landlords and tenants in the West of England in which he was a resident, a handsome recognition of his exertions and attention as a lloekownor in the form of a valuable piece of plate. On coming to New Zealand with his family now twenty years ago, lie followed his favourite pursuit with the same spirit as at home, and, in course of years so established his name as a succesl’ul roarer of stock, that rams from his docks have brought in the colonics and at home prices which have been very rarely expected. At great pains and expense, be obtained rams from some of the choicest docks on the European continent; and, after importing them so improved upon nature, as it were that at Melbourne, Sydney, and elsewhere, a selection from his stock of Merinos and similar breeds was eagerly sort after. II is last sale was at Christchurch, in November last, and there even, rams brought as high a price as 150 guineas ; and specimens of the same Hocks, which arc now on their way to Melbourne the property' of bis son (Mr. Rich, Moeraki), are expected to realise oven better prices. Mr. Rich, sen., left Neft New Zealand in January last, to proceed to England by the overland route, but was taken ill at Alexandria, and died two days before reaching Southampton. He died at the age of 67, and few men concentrated within the same number of years, the same energy and attention is so important a department of colonial life, as that in which it was his pleasure, as well as his profit, to engage. Mr. Rich was better known in the Northern Island than in this province, but among flock-owners his name was familiar far and wide, and his circle of correspondents included many noblemen and others recognised as the best breeders of sheep in Britain and on the Continent. Among the articles of colonial produce exhibited in the Crystal Palace, there are specimens of wool from his favorite flocks, and in the Great Exhibition, recently opened, they take a prominent place among the products of New r Zealand.— Otago Daih/ Timex. Holloway’s Pill and Ointment. —Palpitation of the heart.—Shortness of breath —Those distressing affections frequently arise from indigestion, or a relaxed state of the nervous system, and may be thoroughly overcome by a course of these corrective Pills. When the throbbing of the heart, and feeling of suffocation harrasstho patient, Holloway’s Ointment should be well rubbed twice a day over the pit of the stomach and right side. It will soon bring out a rash, and on its appearance all anxiety' and every unfavorable symptom will he mitigated. The use of the medicines should not be discontinued until the patient has been for some time free from palpitations, wdiicb arc ever apt to return if not, radically cured.— (Advt).
