The Patea Preas says that a curious find was made by Mr *T. Taylor, while ufc work upon the destruction of ail old stump near his homestead at Moeawatea. Mr Taylor had wrenched out a large piece of wood, and was about to land another blow when he noticed tho neck of- a bottle, seemingly buried, m the rotten wood. Pursuing his investigations further, Mr Taylor discovered a bottle of whisky which some "dropper" had evidently planted there m days gone by. Judging by the age of the bottlp and its position m the stump, the burial must have taken place at some • time during the Maori war.
