A vvanganui draptfry firm got a sur-' prise last week when they received a, small parcel containing several pounds' worth of valuable laee. In the parcel was a piece of paper bearing She words : "Taken from Wellington ibranch years ago. Conscience returned.'* The person returning tlje lace was evidently afraid of her hand writing identified, for the last two words were printed on scraps cut from a newspaper and pasted on the paper to make a" sentence. This is said to be the third case of conscience refund the firm has had the past twelve months. The lighthouse-keeper at Waipapapa, near Fortrose, who was visited by several Gore residents during the holidays, tells the story of an interesting visitor he entertained during eight months until a short time ago (says the "Mataura Ensign"). Regularly each evening a seal clambered oyer the rocks and through the paddocks and vegetation to the foot of the lighthouse, a distance of spine 2QO yards, and there spent the night. The animal was quite tamo, and was a source of much .interest to the children. Occasionally he would oversleep .himself until midday, and on waking would yawn prodigiously, note which way the tidal current was setting, and thereafter strike straight out to sea. The "boilers of the ill-starred Ta.ra.rua, which struck this reef some 30 years ago, are still visible at low water. A large sum of money (in silver) went down with the ship, and. a; considerable sum was expended in trying to locate the jtreasure, hut without result. - The cemetery, in which, about IQJO bodies were interred, lies about a mile and a half from the lighthouse, and presents a thoroughly neglected appearance!, •Got a cold?
