Our Mangaone correspondent writes:,.. —About a quarter past 4 on Friday morning some of tho people of Mantraone were awakened by a slight shook of earthquake. It was justperoeptible, and in abont twenty minutes we were beginning to doze off again, when a secoriQ of terrific violence awoke tho whole of tho settlement. For at least a minute the earth swayed and unduhted like the ocean in a storm ; tho hills shook and nodded to each other, tho trees gr>anod . and cracked, and limbs almost a foot in. diameter wero nipped off like pipe atoms*'. The noise was deafening, the very beasts in the Gelds cowered down as if paralysed, while the oraokling of the rattle of delf, and the screadhing of children, n-ade aoino timid people almoßt anticipate another Tarawera. Such a shock has not beon folt since 1884; with the exception of chimneys crockory the damage done is trifling.
