» END OF A NATIVE GATHERING. [BI TELEGBAP& — SPECIAL TO THI POST.] AUCKLAND, This Day. The. Piopio (King Country) correspondent of the Star writes : "A large native gathering, consisting of some 500 natives from all parts, lias been held at Aria, a few miles away, this week. A large meeting house and a Roman Catholic Church were opened, and a ton of potatoes, a ton of flour, half a dozen bullocks, also sheep and pigs were consumed. The native convert evidently does not believe in fasting. The meeting terminated with the recent hurricane wrecking tho Urge marquee and blowing down a number of the tents and cookhouses, but I have since learned there was nothing left to be cooked, so the gale, to the native.., was a. blecsing in disguise, but not so to his pakeha neighbours, many of whom lock stables nnd outbuildings. Biick chimneys in some cases wrre demolished, and oatstacks blown to the four «inds. This was tho worst tempest ever experienced here.
