Mr. Castle was for some years of the staff of the Wellingtdn I i>Uege, and later on the .staff of the Palmerston North High School. A remarkable coincidence attaches to the deaths of Mrs. Elizabeth lElarnes and Mr. Andrew Jennings/"a brdther and sister—two well-known and esteemed Nelson colonists, in that they,both passed away a short time after 7 o'clock on "Friday evening last, their deaths being coincidental almost to the minute. The deceased were, both members of a well-known Nelson family. Their parents came out to Nelson in the ship Mary Ann. Our Patea correspondent writes: It is with sincere regret that I have to record the death of Mr J. C. Hulbert, of this town, which took place at the hospital yesteray morning after a very short illness. Mr Hulbert, who was the eldest son of Mr and Mrs Hulbert, of Hawera, was extremely popular with all with whom he came in contact, and! his sudden end will come as a great shock to all. Mr Hulbert was married about three years ago to the daughter j of Mr W. Myjes. of Patea, who has the sincerest sympathy of a large circle of friends in her very sad bereavement. Our Mangamingi correspondent writes: It is with very sincere regret' that I record the death at Wanganui of Mrs. R. Blennerhassett, "which took place last Friday.. She was the third | daughter of Mr. R. S. Brown, at one time a settler of this district, and resided here with her parents until a few years ago, when they soldi out to reside in Wanganui. She was of a' very bright and cheerful disposition^ and loved by all who knew her, and the news of her death at the early age of 26 is much regretted. To her sorrowing husband andi family very deep sympathy will be felt in their sad bereavement.

The very many friends of Mr. G. W. Campbell, of Brunswick, will learn with deep regret of his death, which occurred suddenly: last night, says the Wanganui Ghronicle. By his death the district loses one of its pioneer settlers, a man who was held in the highest esteem all along the coast. The late Mr. Campbell, who was 74 years of age, was born at St. John, New Brunswick, being the second son of the late- Mr. Tamberland Joseph Campbell, who brought his family to New Zealand in 1853, ianding at Wellington. The family travelled from Wellington to Wanganui in a bullock dray, the journey occupying six weeks. Mr. Tamberland Campbell made his home eight miles from Wanganui -and called it 'Brunswick.'' There he brought up his family and earned the esteem of all who knew him. The late Mr. George Campbell, when 18 years of age, joined the Kai Iwi Cavalry, under Captain John Bryoe, and fought through the Maori war. He married Miss J. D. Watt, of Lily Bank, Wanganui, who predeceased him four years. Practically the whole of his life was spent in the home of his boyhood, and there was no man better known, or more esteemed in the district. His kindly presence will be greatly nissed. He-leaves the following family: Mesdames F. H. Read (Brunswick), T. V. Morrin (Hawke's Bay), -p. B. Jensen (New Plymouth), and A. E. Fitzherbert (Wanganui), and Messrs. J. G. Campbell (Brunswick) and W. E. Campbell (Wanganui)
