Native Encamphent.—On Saturdry afterncon
a few aborigines who have been seen abaut town
of late pitched their wurieys on the banks of the
Torrens, just to the north, of the Frorne Bridge.
In the evening they treated a large number of
persons who had been attracted to the spot with
an exhibition of the "corrobboree.*' This dance,
in consequence of the scattered state of the
Adelaide tribes of blacks, is rarely seen in the city,
and even when performed is devoid of much of
that uaeartldy appearance which is natural to it,
and which in the early days of the colony was a
somewhat coveted sight. On Sunday the wurleys
were visited by many persons, including a large
number of boys, who were frequently more up
roarious than the performers. It is said that some
of these blacks are adepts in card-playing, and
would be rather dangerous opponents to many of
their white-faced brethren.
