NGARUAHOE ACTIVE.
SEVERE EARTHQUAKE SHOCK.
Our Waimarino correspondent writes; —-"Last Monday Ngaruahoe was particularly active. About ■ 9 a.m. we felt a slight earthquake, then Ngaruahoe sent up a great shot of dense black smoke. When this cleared away it was noticed that a portion of the mountain-top had fallen in. On Friday morning 1 was awakened by a rumbling noise, followed by a sharp earthquake (two sharp shocks), which made the house creak in every joint. 1 jumped out of bed and struck a light—it was five past three a.m. On Saturday morning, at about 4.30, another severe sharp shock was felt; this was preceded by a loud rumbling noise. All the people were awakened by the rumbling and shocks. It would appear that these disturbances were local and probably caused by Ngaruahoe. Have they any connection .with the disturbances in Mexico?"
