A young man named Woods, living at Oakura district, 10 miles away, whose conduct baa been most eccentric and alarm-1 iog to tho neighboring settlers lately, was arrested by the police and committed to the asylum to-day. Part of his eccentricities consisted in waking people up late at night aDd flourishing a gun in their faces, picking flowers in tho graveyard at night by the aid of a lantern light, and dressing himself in a red coat and commanding people to address him aa Lord Roberts. Self-glorification of bis prowess seems bis particular mania. Some months ago he received oonoussion of the brain through a fall off a horse he waß riding in a raoe.
