THE UPPER WAIKATO.— REWI BUILDING A PA.
A correspondent in the Upper Waikato writes :—: — "A large number of natives visited Alexandra the other day for the purpose, it is'said, of celling horses. Several old hands from Tarauaki were noticed amongst them. Kewi's people are building a large pa about three miles from Te Kopua. near the road to Haugatiki, on the Upper Waipa ; what they mean by this I cannot say. It certainly does not look like quietness. Everything is going on -well here, and the natives, generally speaking, are peaceably disposed. They long to see Mr Mackay up here again to talk over matters with him. It was reported that he was coming to Waikato by way of the Piako, but we hear mauy such reports from time to time. Rewi, it is said, is at Kawhia on a visit. Thompson is staying at Matatnata with his people, and will visit Hamilton shortly to be present at a land court to be held there."
