PARUA BAY.
IAM sorry to report the existence of severe sickness among the Maories, several deaths have occurred both at Pakikukutu and Horahora. Unfortunately they have no medical attendant, tave a countryman, whose mode of treatment appears to be that known as " Faith cure," and their neglect of all sanitary law makes matters worse. The weather experienced since my last letter can only be characterised as being; of the most objectionable varieties, however, at the present time of writing we have had two fine days straight on end, for which we are very thankful. I see in your issue of the Bth, " Correspondent " scolds me for my ' par ' on the famous "Bar" question. I have endeavoured to construe his letter, but it is such a glorious puzzle of involved metaphor that it is hard to extract anything intelligible. Apparently " Correspondent " does not deny my facts, but objects to my stating them. " Correspondent " appears to think that the keeping of a ' pub ' is so disreputable, that any mention of that useful in stitution is calculated to cast a slur upon all connected with it. If that is really his opinion he will not find many of the travelling public agree with him — (Own correspondent).
