Death of Captain Fairchild.
♦ The Tutanekai was loading rail , way iron at the Wellington wharf yesterday afternoon and a donkey pngina boiler, weighing some two tons was being hoisted on board when the pin of a shackle at the masthead snapped, and came down and struck Captain Fairchild on the hack of bis bead, smashing his skull. After breathing faintly for fifteen minutes Captain Fairchild expired. Captain Fairchild arrived in the colony in 1860, and entered the service of the government in 1861. He leaves a wife and five daughters and three sons to mourn their loss.
A parson stood in his pulpit high He'd lost his voice with cold, well nigh* The thoughtless ssid : — " Let's all rejoice, He'll have to stop for he'e lost his voide !" Bnt he took some Woods' Great Peppermint Cure. - voice grew strong, his remarks no fewer. YOU CAN'T Have a cake and eat it too, but you can have your meat and keep it in the warmest of weather by using " Samjaline," the great food preservative.
