About two months ago a large raft of timber, which was being towed to Auckland, broke adrift. Diligent search was made for it, as the raft was of considerable value, besides being a source of considerable danger to vessels. Some seventy or eighty of the logs have now come ashore at the Little Barrier Island. They must have been drifting about in the interval, and it is a wonder that no vessel ran foul of them.

There is little doubt now that Arthur Dempsey, late licensee of the Archill Hotel, Auckland, whoso body was found floating in the harbor a few days ago, committed suicide.

Hancock and Co., brewers, who had previously given Dempsey notice to give up possession of the hotel, received a note from the unfortunate man, through the Rost Office, since His body was found, asking them to treat his wife and children

in a considerate manner. Ho leaves a wife and five children.

English cricketer Maciaren, who is bringing a cricket team to the Antipodes, cherishes form memories of Australia, bavin;; been married in Melbourne, in March of 1898—bt. Patriot's Day, to be explicit. The ceremony excited great public interest, the church being packed, mostly with curious-minded femininity, who swarmed all over the- sacred edifice, and stood up on the seats in order to get

a better view. Things were so bad, in fact, that the clergyman stopped in the middle of the ceremony and expostulated with the crowd, whoso conduct would not bo tolerated in a theatre, let alone a church.

Being unable himself to right matters, he quicklv set off and brought assistance, Mr E. Monte, Major McCredie, and an employee of Mr Moate’s promptly arriving on the scene. Mrs Simeon was extricated from her position, and conveyed home. The shock to one at her age is serious, rhough fortunately the effects are not anything like as serious as they might have been. This accident should surely

result in some repairs being mads to the
