ANSWERS AND NOTICES TO CORRESPONDENTS.

Te Kiwi, of Kennedy's Bay concurs in the sentiments of Hutana Taru, as expressed in his letter (Waka, June 16th), respecting the evil effects of drunkenness, and the conduct of certain Native Assessors. Rani era Erihana, of Otago, writes that there was a heavy fall of snow in that district, which continued without intermission for three days—from the 19th to the 21st of July. "In some places the snow was from five to six inches thick ; the vegetation was completely covered, and the cows, horses, and sheep, wandered about looking for something to cat. If the snow had continued much longer they must have died. In the inland districts the snow was much deeper, and the whole country presented a perfectly white appearance." "We have no space in this issue for the letters of "Winikcrei te Whetuiti, and others. All the papers were posted to Manahi, of Kohckohc, Waikato. However, we send him by this mail the missing numbers, viz., Nos. 7, 9, and 12. The letter from Eangihuatau and others, of Whanganui, was received too late for insertion in this issue. Wait. The great length of Major Eopata's letter has necessitated our leaving several items of news to stand over which we had intended to insert.
