HE NATIVES.—The' inhabitants of North
Adelaide have much room to complain of the
disturbances which the natives now nightly make
by their hideous corrobories. About three hundred
of these savages howl and bellow at the top
of their voices, for five or six hours at a stretch,
every evening, so as effectually to preclude rest
or quiet in the neighbourhood.
