The subject chosen was taken from ono of Dr Tain ages discourses entitled the 11 Arch Fiend," which the lectuier handled in a I inastorly style.

| Very many of our readers will regret to hear of the death, at Nelson, jesterday afternoon, of Mr John H. Cock, one \ of the partners of the firm of Messrs ff, ' andG. Turnbull and Co., of Wellington. Mr Cock has been taken away at tbo , early age of 41. The fllew Zoaland Timos states that tor some timo past Mr ' Cock had suffered from heart disease, | a trouble Bomewhat similar to that to ivliioli the late Sir Harry Atkinson fell a \ victim-arterial induration, coupled with r valvular misohief.

Crick, of Levin i and Co., In reply to a cablegram iutimating increased danger, want over to JVeli son on Saturday last, in time only to pass , with him his last hours,'and to see him , expifo. Mr Cock had been 'a . widower for a considerable time, his wife, an English lady, having died in Nelson some years bei fore his advent to this city. He haa left no children. Full of kindliest consideration for others, and imbued with a true charity whioh marked his oharaoter ho was a valuable friend to many in distress, and none knew save the recipients of his numerous kindnesses tho aid in means and advice which he freely gave, His was a nature whioh 1 did good by stealth, 1 and would have 1 blushed to find it fame.' He was a man of earnest religious sentiments but without an atom of display. Kind, generous and self-sacriiicing when occasion demanded, a mercantile man of high attainments, and shrewd common sense, John Cock will be greatly missed both in social circles, whoro he went about doing good, and in tho commerce of the City, which contained no more upright or more judicious man than he, whose untimely deathall who knew him earnestly deplore.

A gorse fire lighted by some boys on Saturday night assumed suoh proportions that it was thought the Wellington Asylum property was in danger, and for two hours the staff, assisted by three constables, fought the Danes.

Williams, and that it will be sold for a fortnight only at a great sacrifice in the premises near tho Mastoiton' Theatre. Ho has also just received nineteen cases of saddles and harness from England. A rUTTEIIINO verdict,-Speaking of ono of - the most noted of colonial specialities, the press says"Sharland's Baking Powder doserves more than a passing notice,for the "Moa" Brand Baking Powder enjoys a reputation second to none. From ono end of New Zealand to the otlior, large orders are received for this popular brand. Evon in the most out of the way districts the careful housewife, possessed with tho laudable ambition to mahobor bread and her scones bettor than her buys Sharland's Baking Powder, and triumphs over tho few of hor less sensible sisters, who, from a mistaken sense of ecouomy, buy apparently cheaper brands. The recipe of a c;ood Baking Powder is anything but a-' secret, but how very few manufacturers use, as Messrs Sharland & (.'o. do, the best only of materials, carefully tested before mixture and exactly proportioned," Readers, who require an economical, satisfactory and healthful Baking Powder, cannot do bettor than use the Moa" brand.—Advt
