OBITUARY.

MBS HUETT, WELLINGTON. It is with deep regret (writes a correspondent) that I have to record the death of Mrs Haett at Wellington on February 3. The deceased was born in Edinburgh, and came to New Zealand with her widowed mother (Mri Graham) and family in 1841. Mrs Grabam took up la^d in the Auckland district, and Buffered great hardships during: the Maori war, her home having been burned. A feeling of compassion for the widow and orphans no doubt prevented the natives from tnking their lives. Mrs Graham died soon after from the fhrck. Mrs Hre^t Borne time after became a ward of the late Bis-hop Viard, and was educated at the Auckland convent, her pister Margaret being one of the first nuns professed in New Zealai d The deceased married Mr Jesse Huett in 1859, and removed to Wellington in 1869.
