Mr Brown also exhibited a series of dissolving views, which seemed to gratify the patients immensely. The proceedings wound up with dancing. ■

NORTHERN WAIROA.

A heavy fall of r»in causing large freshets in onr fine river and its numerous tributaries has been the only noteworthy occurrence here during the last week. The Kopuru and Aratapu Saw-mills are in full work, turning out about 200,000 feet of timber weekly be tween them, and to provide the necessary raw material the working of numerous kauri forests is being pushed on. There is abun dance of work here for good men at 27s 6d to 40s per week, and well found, meat and tea three times a day, &c. The settlers are not able to supply the local demand for beef and other provisions, and we have to send to Auckland for cattle, and after paying 30s per hundred, drive them up to Helens ville, where they are slaughtered and the meat brought on here by steamer. Potatoes we are importing from Melbourne and Wel lington. In shipping I have only to report the brig Albion, lately ashore at Kaukapa kapa, now loaded with sawn timber from Kopuru and ready to sail for Auckland. The schooner Aurora, and cutter Hero are loading at the same place. The brig Derwent and the barque Kohinoor, both loaded by Messrs Must and Co., at Otamatea, have cleared.— Peeple in these parts are anxiously looking for the result of the recent agitation for the extension of the Kaipara railway to town. It will open up a magnificent district which has has long been a terra incognita to Auck land capitalists. — Correspondent.

THE WANGAROA MURDER.

To the Editor of the Evening Star. Sir,—We wish you to publish this letter in your paper regarding a statement we noticed iffV^fW* abont a month aß° to the effect that Mohi Tawhai had brought Bob to justice. We hope our European and Maori friends will not believe the statements reterred to above. As you all may remem ber the day Bob arrived in Auckland with the persons who brought him down here from tHe Bay of Islands on board the steamer Jjiowena, you will now know our names, inerefore do not mention Mohi Tawhai's name again in this matter. The reason of his having nothing to do with Bob's case is tkat nehas been engaged fighting,seizingaoods, and killing sheep. It was our own desire to bring Bob to justice, we being his relatives. Inis is not a new thing on our part. It decends from our fathers Te Waaka, Era Patuone, Ruhe, Makoare Taonui, Rangatira Moefcara, and Hone Kingi Roumati. We are the proper children of the above-named loyal old chiefs. Oh, friends, would it be right for us to disobey the wishes of our parents and disguise this matter regarding our rela tions when all men should be informed of the true facts of the case that it was ourselves who brought Bob here, having been assisted by the Ngapuhi tribes, who still endeavour to carry out the last commands of Tamati Waaka Nene. Sufficient now from your from your friends. Signed, Na Hohaia Patuone Waaka, Na Taniora Arapata, Na Hori Hareti, and George Harris.

EDUCATIONALISM

(To the Editor of the Evening Star.) Sir, — This is my word. Enough. Bah! Educationalism, schooling, the disintegration of logomachy. Pish ! A grand mistake. This it is, sir, in a nut-shell. Look here, sir. Public agrees with ma. Sensible. Modesty compels me silence. Mum, sir! Mum's the word. Vernacular but expressive. Thus I have spoken. Ay, sir, that's the rub. Question closed. Logic, stuff ! Asses all! I have spoken.
