NA 'LIVE INSOLENCE. The Parihaka natives have seized two horses employed on the Constabulary road work which had strayed on the native wheat fields, left exposed through the Maoris pulling down the fences erected by the Constabulary' along the roadside. The horses were taken to Parihaka, but one found its way back, and the other is to bo sent back to-day'. Mr Biycc reports that the natives are becoming more and more insolent and troublesome. They have smashed a number of drain-pipes by order of To Whiti, who says it is in retaliation far some fencing having been accidentally burned by a roadside fire. They also endeavored to stop a surveyor named Hunt, and prevent his proceeding along the road, but Captain Gudgeon happened to be near* and came to his rescue with a detachment of Constabulary, whereupon the natives promptly decamped. — Post.
