NOTICE.
We extract the following notice from the "Wananga" newspaper, published by the Maoris at Pakowhai, Ahuriri:— "The Natives of the Pakowhai and surrounding pas intend having races about Christmas time, in the Pokowhai paddock. It will be a mile course, over good level ground. Subscriptions from their neighbours will entitle all horses to compete. "When the day is decided on it will be advertized in the local papers."
A Sydney paper says the losses o£ sheep on moist stations in that colony, during the past winter, have been very alarming ; most deaths having occurred from worms. On one station, not many miles from Armidale, there are now only 2,000 sheep left out of 20,000 ; and another has suffered to the extent of 17,000, while others have suffered in like proportion. A conger eel was caught the other day at Otago Heads which measured not less than S feet in length, and weighed over twenty-six pounds.
