DEATH OF MR F. WHITLOCK.

It is with sincere regret that we have this morning to announce the death of Mr Frederick Whitlock, which occurred yesterday afternoon as the outcome of the serious injuries which he sustained in the trap accident which befel him just three weeks ago. The deceased, who was the head and founder of the well-known firm of Messrs P. Whitlock and Song, pickle and cordial manufac turers, was an old and Respected resi dent ot Wa.nganui, but it may be added that he was just as well known in every township and village on the coast as; ho was in Wanganui. He was a man of bright and cheerful disposition, and, for his years, remarkably active. He had attained the ripe ago of 75 years, but until he met with the accident which caused his death he went about his business with a sprightliness which often put many a much younger man to the blush. Be always had a happy smile and a cheerful greeting for his friends and acquaintances, all of whom will learn with deep regret of his tragic and lamentable death.
