DEATH OF THE REV DR STUART.

Ditnedin, May 12. Iha Rev Dr Stuart died at seven this morning, aged 74, Staait, Bey. Donald McNaughton, D D., Minuter o£Ki ox Church, Dunedin, was born in the year 1820, in a hamlet on the Banks of the Tay, near -where the arrowy Lyan joins that Queen of the rivers of the Scottish Highlands. He began his education in the parish school of Kenmore, which was conducted Vy Mr Armstrong, a college-bred man. In this school, which stands were the Tay issues from its parent Loch, a succession of lads, bred on the slopes of the Grampians, have been trained for the Universities for at least a century. Mr Stuatt was in structed In Gaelic, English, Latin, Greek, and mathematics. With a view to acquiring fluency in speaking Knglish, he was sent for two summers into the owlands. Like other young High landers who had set their hearts on getting to College, he, when a mere boy, took to school-teaching —a calling which then yielded little pay, bat which afforded opportunities for reading and study. In 1837 he bought fche good-will of an ** adventure school" in Leven, Fifeshire, which enabled him to start with one scholar at threepence per week. For six weeka he met hi? solitary pupil for the full number of regulation hoars. This circumstance drawing general atten tion, led to 'an attendance which put it within his power in two years to enter St Andrews University, A bursary and as sistance in kind from a home which never withheld from him prayer, or sympathy, or cheer, placed him at his ease for the four years of the undergraduate course. The qmet University town felt the non intrusion agitation, which shook Scotland from end to end, and in 1843 caused the disruption of ite historic church. The movement influenced the students—some standing by the powers that be for the existing order, and others going for reform in the Church and In the government of the University. The election of Lord Rector became a causa belli. The Reform party brought forward Dr Thomas Chalmers in opposition to the nominee of the iSenatus, and carried his election. Mr Stuart, who represented his "nation," voted with the majority. The Senatus in its haste summoned the rebels, as they were termed, and asked them to submit to an admonition tor their part in the election. They respectfully declined, on the ground that their action was within the limits of the Constitution ; whereupon the Senafcus, by a large majority, expelled them. The expulsion touched Mr Stuart J and others in both purse and pride, enfail ing many grievous consequences, which, however, did not long outlive his restora tion and that of his fellows by a Royal Commission. Leaving St Andrews, he entered the New College, Edingburgh, where, as a theological student, he had the advantage of sitting at the feet of Dr Chalmers. Jn 1844 he received the ap pointment of classical master, and shortly after of principal, in a first-clasa school near Windsor. He carried on his studies for the ministry in London, under Bra Lorinier, M'Crie, and Hamilton, and com? | pleted them in Idinburgh. On receivirg from the Free Presbytery of Kelso license co preach the Gospel, he was called to the Presbyterian Church of Falstone, in the j upper reach"s £of North Tyne, on the English Border. Here he labored for ten years with much happiness, preaching, organising schools, and diffusing a know ledge of literature, thus being the means of giving an impulse to education in the j North Country. His ministerial work was occasionally relieved by such out-door I recreations as bridge-building and the establishing of district libraries. In 1859 he was app minted to begin the formation of a s?cond Presbyterian congregation in Dunedia by the Revs Drs Bonar and Outline, and Professor Miller of Edin burgh University, the Commissioners of the Presbytery of Otago, who had resolved on commencing a second church. Otago was originally a Scotch settlement; and to this day the national charaoter predo minates strongly in the province south ward, and preserves the institutions of the Fatherland. Aniving in Dtmedin in the beginning of 1860, he entered on hie ministry under favourable auspices, and, supported by men of faith and prayer, Enox Church, as the new congregation was named, has greatly prospered, and haa been a centre cf considerable influence lor good in town and country. In 1872 his University conferred upon him the degree of Doctor of Divinity. Dr Staarfc, as a minister and as Convener of the Church Extension Committee, has taken an active interest in the progress of the Presbyterian Church. He has also been called to take part in connection with education, having held for some years the offices of Chairman of the Boys' and Girls' High Schools of Otago, and of Vice-chancellor and Chancellor succes sively of the University. For some years ho was ft Fellow of the University of New Zealand, and took a part; in setting it on Its present lines. Dr Stuart hai always taken a lively interest in everything re lating to the progress and well-being of his own romantic city and cf the colony. His sturdy, manly character, and genial, native humour, have made him widely known, and have won the admiration and affection of the colonists, young and old, in the Southern Islands of New Zealand,

The Truth.

THE WHOLE TRUTH. NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH.

Warner's Safe Cure has been before the public for the past fourteen years, and has achieved a success never equalled in the history of medicine, not only in the United States and Australia, but also in Great Britain, Canada, Germany and France. It is therefore no new and untried remedy, but has stood the test of time, and has cured thousands of men and women given up to die. If yon ask, " Why has this great remedy outrun all competitors in the field of medi cine in all parts of the world S " We reply, because it is a purely vegetable compound, containing no harmful drugs or opiates -it acts exactly as represented, and permanently cures all kidney, liver, urinary and nervqu3 disorders. The kidneys are the only blood-purifying organs of the human system. Every drop of blood in the body is passing through the kidneys, night and day, year in and year out : Good health is therefore impossible if the kidneys, the Hewers of the system, be come clogged up and diseased. Put the kidneys in perfect health with Warper's Safe Uure and the blood, will be pure, the anpetitp w}U retupn, the ner\;es Will be restored, and the elasticity of health Will return. " There are things, however, that Warner's Safe Cure ti&Qi net do. It does not tern* porarily lull the narvea only to ruin the nervous system in the end. It does not create an appetite for narcotics, demanding more and more soothing potions', until you are in the toils of the monster and a mental and physical wreck. If you suffer from backache, nervous troubles, stomach, difficulties, or any form qf kidney, liver, or urinary disease, Warner's Safe ffure will curp you. f here is po doubt ftbout^hijt. The jnddicine rests |ts rep,uti| tum ok its record. Jc purchasing accept no substitute, fhe picture of a Safe is on all genuine packages,

ASHBURTON-SATURDAY.

(Before Hon. W, J. Steward and D. Thomas, Esq., J.P.) Larceny—-William Henry O'Loughlin pleaded guilry to the larceny of a coat and hat value 40s, from the premises of Mr J. Macdonald, The Bench decided to hear 1 the evidence which was aa follows:—J. Macdonald, tailor, Havelock street, identi fied the articles produced as his property, j When he locked up his shop on Thursday night the h?t was on the desk and the coat hanging up on a peg in the shop. Mr Macdonald opened the shop next morning at half-past seven ; the door was left open. Witness was going out be tween that time and a quarter pant eight and miased his hat. Subsequently looked for the coat and found that it also was missing. At eleven o'clock the same morning saw prisoner at Alcorn'a oorner. He was wearing witness' coat and hat— the onea in question. Gave prisoner in charge.—Constable Patrick Drury arroetad prisoner, who told him he was going by train. Asked where he got his hat and coat, prisoner replied that he took them out of a shop. Prisoner was then locked up. Sentenced to three months' hard labor. Lun/vcy—-On the certificates of Drs Leahy and Hunter, Samuel Brealey of Tinwald, was committed to Sunnyside as being a lunatic under insufficient eofltrol. The Com t then rose.

A Small Income.

To manage a smaH income well, it is

Iqu; te as neeessvy *o Give thought and care in order to ay end well as it is to give J thought to saving. 'I he less money we r have, the more we need to gefc the most 1 oub of it, and the more we ought to be J afraid to buy cheap things because they are cheap Because we have little to «p«nd. we ought to pause, consider, and reflect bef _>re we lay out even a penny, so that we may lay that penny out to the best advantage On this account it is a hJp to go to a good shop, and ateo to buy t>f such things as, will keep, a quantity at a time, and not in small jarcßls. It is partieulrrly hard, that the people who have the least money usually pay the highest price for the things they buy, and because they buy in driblets they g<f goods of inferior quality. If we coald imagine such a thing as that a housekeeper had to buy a pound' of tea in farthings' worths, we might be perfectly sure that she would p.»ytully twice as much for it aßif she bought it by the pound By all means, therefore, a mother who has to practise strict economy should try to arrange her purchases so aa to buy in quantity (of such things as will keep), and to buy of good quality. J^lso, she should determine nob to give way to prejudice, and fancy that everything that is new is poor. There, are in these days new ways of living, new sorts of food, and new methods of cookery, to be mat with on all sides, and the only persons who will never gain any benefit by them are the persons who scorn them and need them mos*. The problem of " how to manage on a small income" is a ve*y difficult one; no one knows how difficult it is excepting those who have tried it. Also, the most valuable suggestions on the subject are to be gathered from those who have tried it. It is well worth while, therefore, when we hare the opportunity, to study care fully the methods which have been adopted by people who have mastered the problem. Fortunately, in this in stance actual experience can be studied by all.—From Casseli's Book of the Household.
