ILiidhcta. the chief, speaks as if the unutt-r ci uld I c scttii ~1 in a very shoit lime, and so tic did at my two previous visits ; but nothing comes to pass, It ia hard to say wiit-re the hitcu is : but it is probably caused by the u:.wiihttct.f-.-s . f the Mmris* to give any more land, when ti.sy consider that they hj u l already given too much i„t religious and euiuatb.-nal purposes. Any way it is much to 10 regretted that a suitable school cannot Le established.
To Ore Ore.—A difficulty exists here also. The natives tq-pc.ir to be willing enough to r t\c a site for a proper Landing, but the legal dilt.cuiti is nr tin ".uv seem to be insuperable. Ire building it.-avi as a schoolroom is til.,roughly unsuitable, and m,w that the Natives live m the traedrci’s former quatters, and u-e the schoolroom as an eating, slcepir.g. and dancing room, the arrangements are nii-re unsatisfactory than ever. At rny previous visit I found tlie .schoolroom, furniture, and nrateiiai in s-urc sort of decent old. r: but now everything is "at sixes and sevens." hi- to be Impel that it will in some way be found possible to have a decent building a pro perly organised school here, teemg that there is no reason to doubt that uruer fairly favorable circumstances a very good attendance coirlu bo maintained at Te Ore Ore.
