TE AWAMUTU.

KvUTHiJUAKi:. — Tho earthquake tli;»t shucked all the goid people i)f the various parts of tho province did not forget Te A watuutu, for at 10.50 a.m.. we pot it rather sharply. There was a general stampede into the street of all our citizens trom their rock- | ing buildings, nur leai-ling bootmaker being [the first out. There was no danage done, however, beyond a few panes of glass cracked in tho school and several clock* stopped, I have not heard of anyone complaining of headache, as I notice was the case in Auckland. There seems to be considerable diversity of opinion as to tho violence, time, and direction of the shock, but tho general, opinion is that the motion w.is iiast to West. Impuovkjiknt.—A fine wide verandah is ' being added to '.lie Public Library. Al- \ though some think the design is too heavy ( it la still a great improvement to the appear- . anee of the .street, and it covers the baro ] ugliness of the Library itself. I also notice that the additions to Mr .Tohn Andrew's 1 store are completed, which must be greatly to his relief, as he was \ ery cramped for room before. t Accident. — Mi?s Rees who was thrown from Jier horse owing to its taking fright « at some one galloping round a corner almost on to it, is now recovering slo.vly. The acci- ;i dent happened a fortnight ago, and for the t lirst few days, she was very ill indeed, but c since last Sunday she has been gradually d mending to the groat relief of her many n friend:;, who w&re very Mixim:; ivl..out her. 3
