THE GREYMOUTH FLOODS Water Six Feet in the Telegraph Office.
Wellington, this day. Official information received here states that the flood in Grey mouth reached a height of six feet in the telegraph office, covering the instruments. The embankment held, and no damage was done to the town beyond being covered with watei\ The water is now subsiding.
Great deeds must make great men if there is any virtue in titles to the valuable corner lots. When two dogs quarrel too long over the same bone a third dog is apt to come by and cotton to it as his own. The crematory is the burn from which no traveller returns. The most wonderful flight on record was when the chimney flew. To sensitive people a mortification is almost as bad as a calamity. " It's a snoutraj?eous performance," said the heg when a ring was pub through his nose.
