Thkkmal Action - .— The hot springs have been somewhat erratic in their movements of late, causing a little discomfort in two instances at least. The springs are evidently regulated by the rise and fall ~f the lake, any increase in the height of the latter shews itself in the springs which Income more active. Mr Lorienn, blacksmith, was S'l hlenly startled from his early slumbers on Thursday morning last when the large spring in front of his shop commenced to b 'il furiously shaking the ground which is only a crust around it. Mr Lorigan was first awoke by tho shaking of his house and the noise of the pent up waters beneath, and on going to the door was startled to sec the spring an the opposite side of the road throwing water iu gevzer fashion up to a height that was sufficient to take the breath away fioin any m ,u at that hour in the morning (•"> o'clock). Needless to say our local knight of the anvil did not take long to put on his c.i it and clear, so that distance might lend enchantment to the view. Onthu afternoon of the same day another spring broke cut underneath where a lent was pitched, l-'orlamatcly there was no one in it at, the time, ot Inn wise, they would have had a hot lime of it. Mud and water was sent flying iu the air to a h- iu'ht, of about 1") feet ; this occurred near the I : tuhina bridge, inside a native's fence, .-.lid (heie are now four ; iunm-rimr mud :■(.lings. With (he wet season appioachmi: c.-n.sidi'rablu inconvenience may yet he ex pi lienci-d by the lake ri-ing unless some r.tep.i are tiken to increase the outlet, in many places the land is now inundated.

It is thought when I he land is next offered lor rale there will I.e. a good deal of competition, llieie are, ...lieidy ,-ever.d people wanting >ee(iorn but the I lovernment will do nothing until Parli linens meets.
