This is a specimen of a certain class of journalism clipped from a Vancouver paper :—Auckland, July 2.—An earthquake was felt over the whole North Island early on Tuesday morning. Violent shocks, accompanied by loud rumblings, lasted over a minute. The disturbances were severest in the middle sections of the island. Auckland is'used to volcanic activity. The roads everywhere around the city are the despair of airtomobilists. Repeated efforts have been made to obtain roads which would remain in good state of efficiency, but always without success. Nothing, it has been found, can be done to provide thoroughfares through which the crust of the earth will not break. The reason is the volcanic workings which are always going on under the ground. After leaving Queen Street, the principal artery of Auckland, every road is affected in every direction, and there is not the least prospect, apparently, of any remedy being found.
