A Soabk at Nbw Plymouth.—The air c£ New Plymouth w«s thick lately with rumors of an attempt to blow up the Town Hall. An augur hole was found under the town olerk's offioe, carefully oovered over by the door mat, and was declared by an " expert " to be juat the proper diameter to admit a good-sized fuse. The police were communicated with, and at their instigation the matter was kept very quiet, a strict watch being maintained over the premises. Suddenly all the excitement and mystery were cruelly dashed to tho ground by the naire confession of the librarian that he himself bored the hole in order to' let the water escape which came in at the back door in wet weather ! The Taranaki people breathe freely once more, and, as the " Herald" remarks, certain individuals feel them solves " awfully sold."
