ROTORUA.
Native News. — Notwithstanding the amount of money paid to the natives, there is very little drunkenness; whether it is the weakness of the beer or 'he strength ot the water, weak indeed must be the natmi that falls. Prudence is no name for the Maoris conduct; it is beyond all praise. Theinndividual shares after purchasing a little nnery are carefully deposited in Mcßoa's bank at the corner. This purchase money will keep the business people afloat until the tourist traffic sets in, which is hoped and anticipated to be laiße. Up to date I can only chronicle one fatality, caused by a muddled head and lint water. Many friends at a distance will be glad to hear that our old friend Tapapoke has been raised to the Bench. Long may lie be an honour and an ornament to it. Sympathy.—Much sorrow was expressed at Mr Wells' accident, more especially as he was one of the active promoters of that beautiful piece of road leading to Dukestreet. Many at this end of the world who have often passed it praise the Lord they have done with it.-(A correspondent.)
