OBITUARY.

MRS C. COOPER. It is with feelings of sorrow and deep , regret that we have to pen a short account relative to the death of Mrs C. Cooper, who was called* away: froiv. this r Tuesday last, 6th instant. Her death was of a sudden character (caused we believe through some injury and premature child-birth), as only between two and three days elapsed from when she was taken ill to the time ot her death. The i*ews, which rapidly spread through the town of Roxburgh and surrounding district when day dawned on Tuesday, has caused profound and sincere regret throughout the whole of this district, besides many other places, where the deceased was well known and highly respected. It was only during the past year that she had entered the bonds of matrimony—the second time, for it is well-known she was once the respected wife of the late Mr John Beighton, whose name is so favorably known, and whose death occurred, we are told, exactly five years to the day before the deceased's but on the last occasion she was married to Mr Cooper, who had been managing the storekeeping business, in all its braoches, with great tact and energy. Mr Cooper's loss is indeed a sad one, and many regret to hear that his helpmeet has so soon been called away, and deeply sympathise with him in his sad bereavement The deceased, after taking ill, was attended by i>r Maclachlan, the local medical man, and subsequently by Dr Withers (of Lawrence) whom it was deemed wise to send for, as the case appeared from the first to be a serious one. Dr Withers arrived on Monday evening, but notwithstanding ail the medical skill and careful attention, there was no hope, for the time had com i when

the spirit was required by Him who gave it, and who one day will call each and all of us away to another, and we trust better, world.—ln this notice we wish chiefly to refer to the ways and means by which the deceased during her residence here assisted in furthering rertain deserving objects. The Church of Jingland sustains in her death a severe loss. Her presence will be greatly missed not only at the Church services, but at all meetings and efforts made on behalf of the Church and Sunday School. Through the instrumentality of her first husband Mr John Beighton, in a great measure is due the presence of the handsome and commodious church (entitled St. James) amongst us—for in conjunction with his wife and other friends, ways and means were devised to erect this building to the service of God; and it now stands as a living monument—one that will ever remind those in this district that there once lived and worked those who took an interest in the welfare of the English Church. Mr C Cooper and his late wife (the deceased) have also worked well to advance a similar object—viz., the success and prosperity of St. James' Church Sunday Bchool. The neat little building erected is a strong proof of the great energy and self-sacrifice displayed by them i with no doubt the willing assistance ,of other members), in providing the necessary funds to erect this building for Sunday Schoel purposes. The deceased was an excellent worker in any charitable undertaking, and was a valuable assistant in the Sunday School. The little ones

A two-year old son of Mr P. Young, Bokianga, was burned to death on the Ist instant through falling into a fin», At the Mew Plymouth criminal session William Cunningham,for criminal assault, was sentenced to seven years' hard labor. How the railway tariff came to be lowered in 1882 is thus explained by Mr ahephard, the member iviotuekai 'A combination of Canterbury members was brought about to bring pressure to bear to make considerable reductions ini QRityay ratio, and they informed the Government that their support was dependent upon this The Ministerial majority just then was small and votes were exceedingly precious So they gave out that the reductions would be made, and a new scale was published under which the receipts went down to £IOO,OOO less than if the old rates had been maintained. It was a very big price this for thecountry to give to keep a certain set of gentlemen in office ; a sacrifice of £2OOC a week in order to secure the fidelity of a tew members was a tremendous penalty." In the North Canterbury Educational district there are 143 schools, with 456 teachers, and an average daily atteudance of 13,462 pupils.
