NATIVE NEWS. There 'is no farther nfews of Winiata, with the exception of matae 'improbable yarn or other, said to haTe been related by him, as to his journey to the 'Kiog^tOnntry. I think from v/hat I can learn th«re -is little donbt he « being harbored by '&b Kingitios in the immediate 'neighbourhood of the Kuiti, and now that he has •uc- • oeeded in "evading capture in fitfropeda •territory has their entire sympathy.

We nil know about it here, as Morgan says, "he it 'vrell known," and great sympathy is felt fo* Miss Morgan at the unenviable notoriety, she has obtained while attending on * itek brother, at their own uncle's residence. It was Mr John flinton, of the A C Force, who met with the -gun accident i* Pirongia, not Hibitou *s reported by you and other papers. There must have beea some m»si*ke in the telegram.— i-Owtf
