TITO KOWARU AND COLONEL MCDONNELL.
Tito-kowarii, the erst-while rebel chief, has sent the following letter to Col. McDonnell, who had been asked by Titbko's people to visit them. Titoko ■ has evidently a lively recollection of how Colonel McDonnell fell upon and defeated him in the war days of 1868 9 andr feels a wholesome dread of his ancient adversary. The following is the letter, kindly supplied by Colonel McDonnell:;— .. ; : "Omoturangi, Dec. 6, 1875. °To Colonel" McDonnell.—Salutations to you and all your people! Now do not be amazed or troubled, but you had better remain where you are, and not visit me personally, in case you come in the way you used to, and then I was destroyed in oonsequenoe. lam exceedingly good noW, and as pur© as the white snow; but I am not quite sure of your being the same, but rather iB not your goodness like unto the blue Bky with dark clouds on it? So, friend, better remain, lest I be treated by you as in' the days that are past. This is all from " Titoko war u." — Evening Post .
