MAORI REPORT.
Miss Woodhead, now Mrs Harsant, wishes me to thank the Lnion for their good wishes and token of their appreciation of her services, which 1 forwarded to her at the time of her marriage in December last. She tells me that the epidemic worked great havoc amongst the Maoris in the North. Mrs Noda and all the women who were not laid up worked splendidly. She also helped herself until a few days before her wedding. They had it in a very bad form in that district, and Mrs Rebecca Harris, who worked for our cause some >ears ago as Rebecca Smith, gave her life in nursing the si< k and dying in her husband’s parish. She was indeed a great-hearted woman, and our sympathy goes out to her husband. We trust that the thought that she died such a noble death in the service of her stricken people may be s«me consolation to fiim in his bereavement.
