WOMAN EATEN BY PIGS AT OTOROHANGA.
Information reached Hamilton on Tuesday morning, that a very shocking discovery had been made at Otorohanga on the previous day (Sunday). It appears a woman named Mita left Otorohanga a few days ago on a visit to some friends in the neighbomhood, and she must have returned to her whare unknown to her friends, for on Suuday morning her mangled remains were found on the pathway between the whare and the well, whore apparently she had been going when suddenly struck down by heart disease or apoplexy, as the buckets were beside her. The body had been very much eaten about the lower extremities by pies, and from the condition of the remains death must have occurred some days. On the news getting abroad a general raid upon the pifta was made by the natives living in the vicinity.
