RESIDENTS REMOVE HOUSE. [per press association.] WELLINGTON, February 17. A house, partly undermined at Belmont by erosion in the Hutt Ru ■ flooding, on Friday and Saturday longer occupies its site, but the 11V has not got it.

They intend to rebuild it, so that the owner will have to meet little cost as a result of the river’s destructive elAt noon on Saturday, the house was in full being; at noon yesterday, nothing remained on the site but the pi . All the rest, with windows and doois, has been orderly stacked nearby. The demotion was thoroughly done, e to the pulling of nails.
