(From our own correspondents)
Auckland, April 9. As an illustration of the failure of the Education Tax, the ‘Star’ mentions a large industrial settlement in a remote district of the Province where no collector has appeared, because the lenidents, not having sufficient children to form a school, have declared they will not pay the tax but will duck in a large pond any man ashing them. Warren, a settler, who lost L 22, and had placed, tiie police on the track, and advertised rewards in the papers, announces he has discovered the money in his own pocket, where he put it. The Government are pushing forward the extension of the telegraph north very vigorously. The latest joke from Ohinemuri is related about the pest of flies. All.the lawyers engaged in an intricate case then before the Warden were compelled to abandon their tents and blankets, being unaccustomed to this species of visitant.
A son of Mr Stewart, the engineer, is mis sing, but circumstances tend rather to show that he has run away, than met with any accident. The parents are in great anxiety, and their friends and the police search every vessel.
