While excavating for the foundait’ens of. a new building alongside the old Y.M.C.A. rooms in Albert street, Auckland, the contractors unearthed a whole cottage (says the Star). Many years ago there was considerable'hank just above Albert street on the hill slope that once stretched from Hobson street down to the gully that was Queen Street. Under this bank or rising ground (just a few chains back from the Albert Street frontage) a small cottage stood nearly half a century ago—-there are still several of its congeners on .the Federal Street frontage—and when the ground between Federal and Albert Streets was being reduced to something more like a. level than it was in its original state, this little dwelling, minus the roof, was buried bolus bolus. The other day it was dug out practically as well preserved as when it wasi first buried. The timber although discolored, is in S' 1 me instances still quite good, which is perhaps not so surprising a;.; in the early days nothing but ■heart of kauri was used.
