Kill or Cure
DIED suddenly, on Sunday morning, the 15th inst, in St.George's Church, Graham's Town, at 11 o'clock am, in the prime of life, The Batchelor's Pew, arising from sundry unexplained steps, which one of the principal officers of the Church, at present officiating, thought advantageous to himself to adopt. The above remedy was prescribed by a modern Aesculapius to the patient, as the last and only antidote to support life, and establish a future precedent to the members, but unfortunately the Medicine proving too black and Coal-like, and the above advice not being allowed sufficient time for digestion, and to pass through the regular course of nature, it proved fatal. The deceased died intestate, and without any effects, leaving six destitute Children to lament their parent's untimely end, and four sisters and three brethren to pay the funeral expenses, besides a numerous congregation of Christian friends who were sincerely attached to its welfare. The survivors take this opportunity of returning their sincere thanks to those friends, who, since the death of their ever-to-be-lamented parent, have been so kind as to offer such assistance as lay in their power for the purpose of alleviating their feelings and mitigating their sufferings in their present deplorable (?) situation.

This informs the Public of my intention of giving up Gardening for myself, and taking Job, Day, Week or Month's Work, of such as may think well to give me employ, as all persons may rely on my sobriety and punctuality in my station of life; being under the necessity of giving over growing vegetables for my livelihood, owing to having my crops destroyed by hogs, goats, fowls, horses and oxen. Persons wanting Garden Seeds, Plants or Herbs can be supplied by me.

We understand that Major SELWYN R.E. has just sold his farm on the Kareiga for the sum of £2,500. Lieut. DANIELL of Sidbury is the purchaser. This farm, as we learn, was bought before the late Kafir irruption for £600, by an individual for whom two parties became responsible. The buyer became insolvent, and the securities thought they were ruined by being compelled to take the farm over at that valuation. The parties, however, sold the property for £750; after which it realised £1050, and it has recently fetched the sum we have mentioned. The farm comprises 2,800 morgen and is about 11 miles distant from Graham's Town.
