We observe that 165,000 feet of Kawn limber was imported into Wellington during the month ot July, principally from Queen Charlottes Sound. A correspondent of the Australasian relates the following curious circuinstance :—As a splitter in the hush I came- across a rather curious sight the other day while falling a large iron)»ark tree. The tree was very hollo*' and came down with a crash. I won j* towards the butt end of the tree aud came across a curious nest in which were two large snakes 4 feet long, 1«* eggs, two opossums, two native cats,, and one very large tame tomcat, with a hrttd like a bulldog, that had gpw wild, all coiled together as happy** could bo. The tomcat was very savage aud showed tight, but one crack wi'» a waddy soon cooked him ', the snake*, seemed no. lie still' and sleepy.
