MANAIA, AND CUT THROATS.
During his address at the Sunday School Union tea meeting in Wanganui on Friday, the Rev W. J. Williams stated that ho had that morning passed through the youngest town in the colony—Manaia. During his visit he had been told that Titokowaru had said that before many days had passed Manaia would be swept away, and the pakeha inhabitants would disappear. The Chronicle adds—We are informed that the threat made use of by This blood-thirst}' old savage was even more violent than Mr Williams cared to tell his auditors. Titokowaru is reported to have said “ that Manaia would be burned down, and that the Pakeha men, women, and children would have their throats cut .”
