TINUI NOTES.

(From Our Own Correspondent.) •■ last Thursday' evening a stranger had the audacity to oall on Mr P. O'Connor, a welKknqwn settler in this district, infonqjg him that Mr > J Lett, Masterton; had instructed him to atk Mr O'Connor to lend him a bone to go to Whakataki on important business for Mr Lett. As Mr Lett is well acquainted : with Mr O'Connor the request was ' readily complied with. Neither roan <■ nor horse has been seen since, and it .
