Mr Anthony Hayzen, commission agent, committed suicide at Dunedin on Wednesday last by cutting his throat with a penknife in bed. His son was sleeping in the same room. "A lake of mud" is the term applied by the Evening Post to the main thoroughfare of Wellington. The Terrace is also described as being in some places a foot deep in clay. The bones of Kawiri, a great TauI ranga rebel, were disinterred lately, j and were buried to-day in the Church Cemetery, next to the grave of Colonel Booth, who fought against him. The body was followed to the grave by Ihree hundred natives. The pallbearers were old European settlers, leading citicens who respected the old warrior for his brave conduct and his merciful treatment of European women and children in the hour of need.
