MAKETU.
(FROM OTTJI OWN CORRESPONDENT.) j March 2.8., \ It is my painful duty to record the 1 death at Ohinemutu on the 22nd instant, from dropsy, of Minita, the wife of Rotohiko Haupapa. The deceased was noted for her kindness and hospitality to travellers through the Lake District when there were no hotels or places of accommodation. She- was highly connected by birth' and marriage with many of the leading tribes in the North Island. Her death has cast a gloom over the whole district — both Europeans and Natives deeply regretting her. The Native School here bids fair to be an exception to the general rule. Under the management of Mr and Mrs Pinker, the attendance- has- increased from an average of five to a regular attendance of forty. The children show a marked improvement in knowledge during the last year. Mr Pinker has also earned the thanks of the whole community for his successful and gratuitous services as a Homcepathist.
