His eldest, son is 78 years of age, and his youngest son 61, his eldest grand daughter 50, eldest grand-son 48 great grand daughter 32, and the great great grandchild 17. Mr Burling retains all his faculties, walks about as vigorously as ever, and « nly recently asked a friend if he would lend a dog and a gun for tne first of the season. He has 350 living descendants. Mt Charles Tiillywhite, the Wellington painter, whose extradition to England to answer a charge tftat he was Blatch, the Colchester murderer, became a cause celebre in the annals of criminal charges, and whose triumphal acquittal is a matter of recent history, is now settled at Seattle. Mr Lillywhite is there engaged in cultivating the 640 acres section of farm land •which was greatly in evidence at the preliminary hearing of the case in the Wellington Magistrate's Court. Hoarsenss in a child that is subject to croup is a sure indication of the approach of the disease. If Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is given as soon as the child becomes hoarse, or even after the croupy cough has appeared, it will-prevent the attack. It always cures and cures quickly A, Manoy sells it.
