Anew feature has been introduced in land settlement by Captain Colbeck, namely, a special settlement for colonists exclusively, and already 5,000 acres are applied for. The native Heremaia, who was arrested at Helensville yesterday for robbery, made a desperate attempt to escape this morning. He watched his opportunity, knocked over the constable, and bolted, but was chased and captured by the railway officials. W. and T. Farqunar and Scott were bathing on the Ponsonby beaeb, when the latter took cramp. Walter Jones, of the Alert, put off in a dingey and rescued Scott, who was in the last stage of exhaustion. This is the fifth time Jones has saved life froni drowning, as he saved four men at the regatta in 1879.
