AUCKLAND.

Yesterday,

Just as the Arawa was on the point of sailing last evening, a curiosity dealer, named James Glenny, was disposing of curios to the firemen in the 'tween decks, when he was suddenly seized by a number of firemen in a dark corridor, and held till robbed of a watch, greenstones, and gold quartz to the value 5 of £30. In (he dark be could not identify the assailants, and as the officers could not trace the property, the vessel sailed.

This day.

Dr. A. Young, tbe medical superintendent of the Lunatic Asylum, died yester* day, An alfcecipt has been made to cut down the suspension bridge across tbe cemetery gullj. Several of the wire stays were cut as with a tomahawk.

A telegram from Eotorua states that an old Maori vepman named Katuhoto was shamefully beaten and kicked about by her nephew Arekatera, of Wairoa, Lake Tarawera, until one of her hips was put out of joint. She was not quite sound in her mind, and was in the habit of wanderins about in the bush for days by herself, which caused her people much trouble, and tbe reason given for her nephew kicking uep about the legs was to prevent her

wandering about. Her death is daily expected. She is without covering, and in great agony, her leg being twisted right round.
