DEATH OF PIPI TE WHIWHI.
It is with sincere regret that we notice the death of the wife of the Native chief and Assessor, Matene Te Whiwhi, of Otaki, as recorded in the Wellington Spectator of January 2lst. The following we translate fiom the notice which appeared in the Maori language in thai journal. ' k My pukeha friends living at Port Nicholson, "This is to apprize you of the death of Phoebe Te Whiwhi, a woman of amiable character and high rank. Her worthy deeds are well known among her pakeha friends and her own people :—her equal is not to be found among the Maori women for intelligence. Her death which occurred on the i4th of January, 1807, at 6 o'clock in the evening, has caused us deep sorrow. She died in peace, and her spirit ascended to our Father in Heaven."
