Yesterday being the sixty-first anniversary of St. JohnV, Pttkbyterian Churcn, special references were made i to the fact in all the services. Tho services \ were conducted by the Rev. Graham Balfour, who preached two eloquent sermons, music to suit, the occasion being provided by the choir, which in the evening sang the Hallelujah Ckorua. A once familiar figure in Wellington commercial circles in the person of Mr. | F. A. Krull passed away at Wanganui on Saturday evening. The late Mr. Krull was senior German Consul in New Zealand, and is believed to have been doyen of the German Consular service !in Australasia. He was a native of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, and came to Wellington direct in 1859' in the Swedish ship Equator. He started business immediately on arrival. His Consular appointment dated from 3rd July, 1861, and for his long services ho was decorated by the present Kaiser, being made chevalier oi the Imperial Order of the Red Eagle and of the i Crown. He was of a very genial disposition, and an active worker in local affairs, serving for some years on the City Council from 1871, also representing the Wairarapa on the Harbour Board. He was for many years chairman oE the Wellington Gas Company, and at the time of his death was a director of the Wellington Patent Slip Company. The late Mr. Krull's establishment in Wellington was on the site of the Ocean Insurance Company's offices, opposite the Bank of New Zealand. ' His mercantile operations were then of an extensive character, but about the time of the City of Glasgow Bank failure, if not directly connected with it, Mr. Krull's firm went into liquidation, and in 1886 he joined the late Mr. Freeman R. Jackson's firm of stock and station agents at Wanganui, and remained connected with that firm to tho tivno of his death. The firm is still carried on by Messrs. R. Jackson, F. Moffatt, and S. Davis. The hours I spent with thee, dear heart, Can never bo forgot! But still you thought it best to part, Although I thought twas not. And though I suffered horribly, No lover could bo truer; Take back my heart, I've cured my cold ! With Woods' Great Peppermint Cure! —Advt.
