ALEXANDRA NEWS. [FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.]

The Death of Tv Ta%vui-*o. Alexandra, Novi-'nli'i' 10 lv Tawhiao, Tawhiao'h el-lot *->n, «1^ last rvening at Whntiwh\t'h<>t\ V several hours after his (J^cei-o o 'nLniuoufiring was keut up. The tingi at once commenced, and all the natives in the vicimt.y are now congregated there. T'i° deceased hut. been ill for a long tiute, anil > great sufferer. Amongst the Enropivm-. here he was a general favourite from his happy and generous disposition— he was gononms to a fault, indeed. He was to be pitied, for had he been brought up under other circumstances than he was and been properly educated, he might have been of great benefit to his race. But the isolation in which he was kept for the best part of hU youth, and the sudden and free intercourse he has had with the pakehas, was not beneficial to him at least. He was liked by all here, and sincere regret is felt at his death. His age was, I think, about 33 years. He leaves a wife, but no family.

The Western Maori Seat. I observe in your Tuesday's issue that Wahanui intends coming out as a candidate f>r the Western Maori District. The big chief must have changed his mind, for he gave me and all others at Otorohanga to understand that all his suppoit would be given to Mr Geoige Brown, and Wetere te K^renga informed me a few days a«?o that ho also did not intend to stand in opposition to Mr Brown, who would get all the support of the Ngatimaniapoto and the Wunganuis.

The Late Fire. Giles' wife aud family, who were burned out last Saturday evening, are, I am sorry to say, in a very destitute state. All but three of her nine children were, left without a rag to cover them, and one of the infants was scorched by the fire while being rescued by its mother. Any one of your readers having any spare wearing apparel of any kind, by forwarding it to them would be doing an act of real charity.
