Tiopira Httka Pakawai, only child of Te Koronelio To Ika-a-Maui and Heni, of the Ngatiruaka tribe, at Ranana, Wlianganui, on the 31st of January. Aged 16 vears. The deceased was a very promising youth. He was the most advanced pupil attending the Native school at Iruliarama, and his untimely death is a cause of great grief to the Wlianganui Natives. Haeata TawAjS'ga, the gentle wife of Hone Talea, at Eapaki, Canterbury, on the 4th of February, 1875. Peti, wife of Haimona Tuangau, of Hokitika, on the 4th of November, 1874. Taraiti Te Marotoa, a Native woman of Taupo. She was struck dead by lightning on the 12th of January, 1575, near Tongariro Creek, as she was proceeding with her children to join her husband, who had preceded her lo Te Huutu. Her clothes were set on fire by the lightning. It appears she had a presentiment of evil, as on the previous night she suddenly arose from her bed and kissed her husband, leading him to imagine from her manner that something dreadful was°going to happen, either to him or to herself. When questioned by those present, she made no answer.
