NEW PLYMOUTH.
Monday. The natives between Farihaka and Opunake have three hundred acres of wheat, which was planted by the Taranaki tribes^ They have bought two threshing machines.
Kauui t> an influential chief owning one of them, states that it is the intention of the tribe to go into wheat culture on an extensive scale. He says hitherto it has been only day, and they could hot see, —but now that it is light they intend to devote their attention to these peaceful occupations, which they were engaged in before the war. Kahui wishes this to be distributed through the colony, that Europeans may know the peaceful condi* tion of natives in Taranaki.
