D&ath has robbed us of another of our oldest settlers in the person of Monsieur Guindon. The deceased gentleman was one of the original French settlers, who arrived at Akaroa, by the ship Count de Paris, in August 1840, and from that time until now, with the exception of a few months passed in Australia, has always resided here. Many among us know of the kindly disposition of the deceased, and the numerous unostentatious acts of generous

aid which he has given to those struggling under difficulties; by these, and bin remaining shipmates, his memory will be always held in lively remembrance, as that of a man who lived his life honestly and well. For some time M. Guindon had been in liailirjg health, so that his death was not unexpected. Deceased leaves a widow, who is. we are sorry to state, in f\ very precarious state of health.
