An Auckland telegram states --Shortly | before the Triumph sAuck on the southeast point of Tiritiri, the lighthousekeeper on duty observed a steamer 8 anding towards the island, which he took to be the s.s.. Stella coming with stores for the lighthouse, as they knew she was m Auckland. As the steame** got close -.0 the lighthouse, the keeper saw it was a much large" vessel, and he went and roused his mate, who turned out to see the sight. They commenced joking together, say in^ the steamer was going to rurh the '"fhthouse and jump their claim, but as the steamer still stood on they felt sure something cerious was wrong. The officer on duty returned to his post at the lighthouse, and his mat) went down tt the face of the cliff, calling as loudl " as possible to the steamer, which wr ning, however, was evidei Ay not heard, as she still kept straig A. on for the shore. Shortly afterwards he heard a noise of a vessel grinding on tht reef and the . confuted sound of voices on board. He then called out again, "lou're ashore," and he received the reply, "' Yes ; where are Ye P" The lighthouse-keeper replied, ■ " On Tiritiri itself."' A voice called out, "How far are we off?" and be reA Bpo"ded,; "Don't I*tr'll you you are on Tiritiri itself^ is. the vessel damage*? ?" The reply wasA" Don't know ; am going to back off." '■ fife / again called' out, ; *'"¥du had better fire a rocket, ashore with a line, attached ;" and he struck a. match to show them where to throw it. i The rocket was"not thrown, and no Aarther information was rouch«afed Atom the steamer, so the lighthousekeeper returned to his quarters. We are glad to be able to report that Mr J. Linton's condition continues to , improve.

Two men who had lately befen working at oae ot the saw mills nekr Feilding, hirea two horses from Mr Morphy's stables on Thursday last, and notiiing has since been heard of horses or riders.

Deceased was a carpenter, and for nearly twelve months, had been unable to follow any employment, his death occurring from consumption. Heleaves a widow and three young children to fight their way m the struggle for existence, and the case is one which i should commend itself to the charitably disposed. During his illness his wantwere relieved by a f.ew kind friends, and we trust that oth rs will how step forward to assist them m providing for tbe relief of the widow and fatherless. j Samuel Grind rod, of Longburne, j carpenter, has sought the protection of i the Bankruptcy Court . under the j guidance of Messrs Hawkins and Son. : j Under the headiag, " Premature Disclosures," to-day's Chronicle' cays :~- --" We are informed on good authority that although the weights for the Manawatu Races were not declared until Saturday night at Palmerston, they were known. to certain people m Wanganui on Saturday and Sunday last. It appears to vi that if it was thought desirable - that the weights should be made public m Wanganui before br at the same time they were published m Palmerston, the -proper plan was to have done so through the medium of the local Press." Lovely Cmmes. — There are lovely climes and places m which the evening zephyrs are loaded with malaria and the poison of fever and epidemics. To dwell there m health is impossible without a supply of Hop Bitters at hand These Bitters impart an equalizing strength to the system, and prevent the accumulation of deadly spores of conr tagion. Be sure and see. As showing the adrancement of our Colonial Industries, we are pleased to state that the goods produced by the Eaipaoi woollen mills are attracting great attention m Australia.
