Here is a savoury piece of news from a southern paper. A Chinaman, who conducted a fruit shop at Taihape, died somewhat suddenly recently. His body was permitted to remain for four days on the premises, and during that period the odour which permeated the building was anything but pleasant. After the removal of the body the shop was re-opened, and the fruit which was in stock during the time the body was on the premises was sold over the counter to customers who were in ignorance as to the odour with which it was impregnated for several days. Ugh ! What a sweet lot they must be down in Taihape !
