NGATIPIKIAO.
This industrious tribe whose members employed themselves in digging gum. &c., for some time past, have purchased the schooner "Mavis," burthen 28 tons, for 850/, which amount was collected in about two years.; W«ivarmly congratulate the Ngatipikiao, and consider it is most praiseworthy to the chief Te Tuiere and the others concerned, that this large sum should be raised in sflPshqrt a time, although they are building a'.targe flour mill at Te Rotoiti Lake, which will, cost 600{ or more. Iris Jo be hoped ihat many tribes who are anxious lo get loans Trom the Government, but vsho would be perhaps as tardy in their repayments as Maoris generally are— Ibis is a very bad trait in Maori character, —will be sbamed out of their ihdolence, and imitate the good example set them by the Ngatipikiao tribe.
