HARAPEPE.
Mean Theft.—Old Mr Byrne, who a short time back was taken to the refuge and has since died there, locked up his house and left it, and although it is in a very out-of-tlie way pkco, close to the edge of the bush on the Firongia mountain, some mean scoundrel has broken into the house and stolen the old man's saddle, bridle and other articles. One of his sons, who was my informant, says that he has put the affair into the hands of the police, and it is to be hoped that they will discover the thief. It seems very hard that a man cannot leave his house for a few days in safety, worse than in the old Maori times. You might leave your house then for weeks and not lock the door, and find all as you left it. The Weather.—The weather here for the past week has been unusially hot, and at present no sign of the much-wanted rain.—(Own correspondent.)
