The Auckland Star of Friday tells tho following touching story :— " In our obituary notices to-day appears the melancholy record of the death of a young couple within two months of their wedding day. The circumstances are these. A fire has occurred near Timaru, by which a Mr Edwards was badly burnt, aud his young wife (late Miss Lucy Eyre) was burnt to death. Mrs Edwards was the youngest daughter of Mr i Eyre, of Te Ami Point, and had been married but a few weeks. Mr Edwards was quite a young man. The sudden and terrible death of one so well known, who but lately left her home in enjoyment of health, and with a happy future in prospect, has cast quite a gloom upon Te A.rai district. Mr Edwards lingered for nearly three weeks after the untimely end of his young wife, and then expired from the injuries he had sustained and the severe nervous shock to his system." The following conuudrum was asked at a fashionable gathering the other night, but not one of the company could thiuk of the long answer the enquirer had in his mind. The question was put by a young swell — Why women like churches? After innumerable guesses the enquirer aaid — First, because there is no living without one, secondly, because there is many aspire to them; thirdly, because they are objects of adoration; and lastlj', because they have a loud clapper in their upper storey. gjsra A telegram from Ahaura, on the AVest Coast of the Middle Island, shows a lively state of things in judicial matters in that district.
