AHIPARA.
M. P. has almost completed his new house, which is very neat and bright. His industry .is most commendable. The " Sportheen " was at a Maori wake the other day, and was muqh affected by the general flow of tears in honour of the departed. He says he would like to live a pakeha and die a Maori. Why is Jemmy Reed not invited to the concerts to perform on his fiddle ? His " Home, sweet home " with variations is unsurpassed ; but, somehow, a feline wail, to tell of their material, remains with the strings ; you know it is real cat* gut.
