MAORI SUPERSTITION.
(PHK PRESS AGENCY). Auckland, Monday. Mtori supers’itiou has been greatly excited by a dsit from five whales, which came in at the Heads, aud swam round the harbor, making their exit in such a peculiar manner as to excite the forebodings of the natives. Last week the same phenomenon was repeated. Some vhales came into Kawhia in a similar manner, and pursued exactly the same course, before the last war. The na'ives assert most positively that some great calamity is about to befall the Maoris, either to those of their own d.strict, or to the natives of New Zealand as a whole.
