An ’ amusing scene was witnessed in NVillis Street, NVellington, last evening, during the height of the shopping period, when a large moth came fluttering from within a shop, pursued by three soldiers. The moth clung to an electric sign, and the soldiers, by throwing their hats and taking terrific leaps, tried to dislodge it. At last by a well-aimed throw, the moth was brought to earth, where it was pounced upon by the soldiers, who, picking it up, marched oft down the street with their prize.
