MRS JOHN GRIGG.

The -many Mends of Mrs John Grigg will learn with deep regret the news of her death, which took place at her residence, Longbeach, early on Friday, Dec. 19th. About a fortnight ago Mrs Grigg caught a severe cold, which resulted in an attack of inflammation is the throat, and

finally of the lungs. For the past week Dr. Boss had been in almost constant attendance at Longbeach, but in spite of his efforts, Mrs Grigg gradually sank, and expired as above stated early on Friday morning. It is scarcely necessary to mention that the deceased lady was greatly beloved by a very large circle of triends, not only in the Ashburton and Longbeach districts, but throughout Canterbury and other parts of the colony, and the news of her death will be- learnt with very deep regret. Kind-hearted, benevolent and sympathetic, Mrs Grigg never missed an] opportunity of doing an act of kindness or a deed of true Christian charity and benevolence, and was ever ready to extend true womanly love and friendship to the sick or needy, and Bhe was a most zealous worker in the cause of the church. The news of her death cast a deep gloom over the whole district, and her absence will be sadly felt. Much general sympathy is felt for the bereaved family.
