DEATH OF MR. NORMAN.

We regret to have to announce the sudden death of Mr. Edward Norman, the proprie tor of the United Service hotel, which took place at 4 o'clock on Saturday afternoon. Ho was out in the heavy rain on Thursday even ing-, and came home wet through, and be had 3j^pt to his bed since from the effects of tho ■/."i.o. No appveheosion was feared that his illness was dangerous until Mrs. Norman, entering hw room a few minutes after four, discovered that he had breathed his last. Mr. Norman came to Auckland about sis years ago, since which time he has held a leading position in the business which he followed, and has won tho deserved esteem and respect of every one with whom he lias come into contact. His loss will bs deeply mourned, not only by his family but by a very large number of persons who were tho recipients of his bounty. In an unostentatious way lie gave away to distressed persons and public charities a very large portion of his means, and few sought his assistance in vain. Mr. Norman was a member of the Masonic body and Licensed Victuallers' Association. Hi's funeral this afternoon was largely attended by the members of both bodies and a large con course of citizens.

GALLANT RESCUE.

'An unpretending paragraph appeared in the Herald of this morning with reference to the gallant rescue of a child from drowning in a well in Symouds street. We are informed that the act was one of great promptitude and bravery, and that without doubt had it not been for the spirited action of the gentleman that effected the rescue the child would have been inevitably drowned. We are told by an eye witness that the gentleman referred to on learning the state of affairs instantly threw off his coat, and there being no rope descended the well by merely clinging to tho bricks, and on reaching the water, some sixteen or seveni teen feet below, seized the child, and a bucket and rope being subsequently lowered, had her sent up to the surface. With great dif£u culty ho was himself afterwards hauled up, the rope being fastened under his arms. Wo might have felt a disposition to throw the same veil over the name of the rescuer which has been drawn over it by our morning contemporary but that we have received the following letter with an earnest request that we should publish it: —

" Thos. Russell, Esq., Syinonds street.—Sir, —I beg to tender you my most sincere thanks for rescuing my child from certain death in Symonds street, yesterday. Although I -was not there at the time I am satisfied that it was to the promptness with which you acted that I am indebted for not having to mourn her death' I can only pray that you may never experience any such trouble as threatened me yesterday, and that you may be long spared to your family. I also beg to thank the other gentlemen who rendered assistance. Yours, very gratefully, William Gallagher, Queen street, April 8, 1872."

DANGER.

• To the Editor of the EVENING Stae. Sib, —A few clay 3 ago, for the first time, I was present at a firing practice of one of the Auck land Cadet Corps. My experience upon that occasion may have been somewhat exceptional, but I must confess I do not think it unfair to presume that the parties in authority over other Cadet Corps (and this one in particu lar upon other occasions) are chargeable with similar grave offences against disci'etion , and I believe it to be a just, although perhaps severe test to judge of military discipline by the conduct and appearance of men taken unawares at their ordinary duties or practice. Therefore, in the interest of my young friends, for whom I have much regard, and as a caution to their parents, I venture to " write to the paper." When under proper charge the men should fall in and load. The right-hand man then takes up his position in front of the squad (all his motions being under the notice of the party in oharge) and fires, after which he retires to the left of the squad, leaving the rest to repeat the operation ; the squad then loads as before. This simple method I believe to be usual in well regulated corps, and is easy of adoption ; therefore why should should the officer in charge of a Cadet firing party stand undis« languished by anything in particular except by'his height in the midst, of a shaple3S crowd of boys bristling with rifles pointed in every direction to their own danger, and the con tinual discomfort and dread of others present; and why shoiild these boys be allowed to fire one, two, and three at a time, and four, five, and six yards in front of one another, in any position; and why, after missing fire, should the owner of the rifle be permitted to handle it like muekstick until the danger of protracted ignition is over ? And lastly, why should these boys be allowed to load promiscuously under no supervision, and in a manner most abominably dangerous to themselves and their companions ? I ask thess questions seriously, anddaclare them to be the result of my experience of fact. My friends, commanding officers who were with me at the time, did not voluntarily express any surprise. What is the inference ? Why, that it was nothing unusual. Such scandalous neglect, carelessness, and incapacity to command I havo never seen before. I hope I shall not be accused of unfriend liness to the Cadet movement. lam en thusiastic in its praise, and believe it to be the only genuine and efficacious method ever yob instituted of embuing a nation with military spirit. It will do more in 15 or 20 years than can be achieved by the adult Volunteers in any period of time —make a military people of' the coming generation. And in these times when certain powers alike disregard humanity and national honor and faith, and with an increasing tendency that way, I say they are wanted, and may they prosper in a just cause—the cause of peace secured by the menace of punishment to dishonorable and deserving goverinenta and statesmen. I am, &c, YOLTOTEEB.

I To the Editor of the Evening Stae. Sir, —In reference to a letter signed " R. C. Dyer," whichappeared in your issue of the 6fcb, commenting on a portion of a statement which you published from us on the previous even ing, we beg to assure you>' correspondent that if there is any mistake it is unintentional on our part. We believe there is. or was, resident at Mahurangi more than one Dyer, and wo must refor him to Mr. Turton bs to which of them lie alluded to in his statement to us. j With regard to a letter from Mr. C. Robinson we do not consider it worthy of any notice only so far that if he is, as lie signs himself, a. i member of the F.F. Lodge there is little doubt but that he will have to answer to that body for the mis-statements contained in his letter. We are, &c., ; Alfred Reynolds. I 0. P. HIJLBEET.

To the Editor of the Evening Stae

Sic, —An absurdly worded advertisement respecting a wet nurse appeared in your issue of Saturday with my name appended to it. Will you kindly allow me this opportunity of saying that my name has been used with out my sanction or knowledge. By so doing you will greatly oblige. I am, &c., F. W. E. Daavson, L.R.C.P. Ed., M.R.C.S. Eng., &o. 26, Wellesley street.

MALT AND HOPS REDUCED TO A SOLID HARD SUBSTANCE. WE have for sale a few cases SOLID WORT, for making Ale or Stout. It has not been imported entirely as an article from which a large profit could be expected, but with a view of introducing a great want. It possesses the following advantages : Beer can be produced from it in places where it cannot be brewed in the ordinary way. It effects great saving in freight by ships or land carriage, owing to its very small bulk. It offers the convenience of being able to brew fresh beer from it when wanted, as the solid Wort, if preserved in its original packages, will keep for years. No expensive apparatus is requisite for brewing : A wooden tub to liquefy and fer ment in, of sufficient size to allow space for the rising of the liquid caused by fermentation, the necessary casks, some small wooden vessels, and a few tools, mentioned in the instructions sufficing for the purpose. Good wholesome beer with the strength and flavour of the finest Kent Ales can be produced in a fsw hours at less cost than the present carriage on colonial beer to country districts. Prospectuses and full particulars can be obtained, and a trial is solicited by PREECB & GRAHAM, Vaile'ejßuildings.
