OUR LOSSES.
During tlie last few months New Zealand has lost by death an unusual number of those who have in one way or another taken a vigorous part in making the Colony what it now is. They have bravely borne the heat and burden of the day and left, as they went to their well-earned rest, the country undoubtedly the better for their strenuous life work in it. The list includes Major-General Sir George Whitmore, K.C.M.G. and M.L.C., Hon. William Rolleston, Hon. George Bentham Morris, M.L.C., Hon. William Swanson, M.L.C., Dr. Grace, M.L.C. It is not our purpose to dismiss these notable public men with this scanty notice, arrangements having been already made to devote considerable space in our neixt issue to an extended sketch of the services they have rendered their country, with reproductions of their photos.
