Death of Mr Christian Honore.

It is with more than ordinary regret we announce the death of Mr Christian Honore at an early hour yesterday morning. For some time past the family have been suffering from diphtheria, and the deceased and his wife had a long and anxious time in nursing the four children attacked. It will be remembered that one little one succumbed to the disease. The deceased was therefore much pulled down by anxiety and weakness when the diphtheria got a hold ot him yesterday week, and having rather a weak chest it went hard with him. Last Wednesday night he was in a very critical condition, but towards morning appeared to have improved rapidly, but unfortunately it appears merely to droop again the next day.

Mr Honore was an old resident, having come here at an early age as assistant to Mr Loudon. He, by degrees, worked his way up to becoming a storekeeper on his own account, and the last few years had gone well with him, so that he saw his way to give up trade, which was always distasteful to him, and purposed later on to reside on his farm. It has been ordered otherwise.

Mr Honore leaves a wife and five children to mourn his loss. Mrs C. Hono v e is the eldest daughter of Mr Nye, the Mayor, and the deceased's father is Mr Abraham Honore.

To the widow and relatives we tender our sincerest sympathy, knowing how hard it is to realise at once " Whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth."
