(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT) May 12. A distressing case of want and misery has reached me from Norsewood. A German settler of the name of SCHEFFLER has been suffering for the last two years from cancer in the jaw. For months past he has been unable to work, and his wife and family of five young children are reduced to utter want. Had it not been for the kindness of neighbors they would have starved, for however kind-hearted a storekeeper may be, he is unable to give unlimited credit, and in this case it would simply amount to a bad debt. A few weeks ago SCHEFFLER was admitted to the Waipukurau hospital, and I hear that his case is incurable. A collection was started in Ormondville for the relief of the family and temporary help obtained for them. The sufferings of some of the Scandinavian families in the bush, and the fortitude with which they bear them, are very touching; outsiders can hardly realise it, as they seldom utter any complaint beyond their own circle... May 13. Since writing the foregoing I learn that Dr REID has performed on SCHEFFLER the operation of extracting the cancer, and holds out hopes of his recovery in time."

"Mr W. COLENSO desires us to bring under the notice of the charitable the case of a woman named SCHEFFLER, residing at Norsewood. Her husband recently died in the Hospital, and left her with six children, the eldest being only eight years of age. SCHEFFLER, for a long time before his death, suffered from an incurable disease, which partially incapacitated him for work, and though he was a thrifty man, and at one time accumulated some little property, this disappeared during his illness. The woman is allowed 10s a week by the Waipawa County Council, but that is absolutely all that she has to live upon. Just now, indeed, Mrs SCHEFFLER cannot add to this slender pittance by her own labor, as she shortly expects again to become a mother. The Rev, Mr SASS, of Norsewood, and Mr COLENSO will thankfully receive subscriptions, and it will give us great pleasure to acknowledge and forward any sums which may be sent to us. Mr COLENSO has headed the list with two subscriptions of £2 and £1."4Personal Correspondence: Betti REDDELL (New Zealand), eMail, 27 Jan 2010.
