and we hope the day is not far off, when the Eplsco-
pal service will be established here, and are confident
there are those among US who would take pride in
supporting it.
THE LAws.-Our readers viii all be pleased to
learn that the work of codifying the Hawaiian laws
is rapidly progressing, under tie immediate charge
of Judges Lee and Robertson. They have thus tar
nearly completed the revision of the laws relating to
the executive department. That of public schools re-
mains to be revised. But this is hardly half the en-
tire work, for the Judiciary as we'll as the penal and
civil codes are yet to be revised, and they comprise
the most important part of the laws SO far as the
people arc concerned.
From HAwAu.-Messrs. Cole of this town, Hall
and Cummings of Kona, Hawaii, made an attempt
about Sept. 1st to ascend Mauna Loa, and visit the
new crater of Mokuweoweo. They did not reach the
crater however, the air was so unusually light as to
render breathing very difficult at that elevation, and
they were compelled to return. The eruption is still
as active as ever. On the night of the 18th of Aug
ust an earthquake occurred in Kona, so severe as to
awaken the inhabitants from sleep.
- One of the best modes we have heard of turn
ing the " dull season - to profit is that pursued by
Messrs. Allen s. Co., who have established a slaughter

first made a contract with the Governor for a thous-
and head or so of the wild cattle on that island, and
another contract for the sale of all the tallow they
can make and for the hides, payable on delivery.
Some four or FIVE buildings had been erected, and
operations commenced at the latest advices. The
healthful sport of catching the bullocks in the noun
tains is not the least of the undertaking. Mr.. Sam'l
G. Allen is of course on the ground lasso in hand.

- Of all the reckless and furious horse-racing
we have ever witnessed in our streets, nothing has
surpassed what we saw in Beretania Street on Tuesday
evening last, about dusk. Two kanakas started
somewhere about Capt. Dudoit's residence and
smashed away for Waikiki at a 2.40 rate, knocking
over a man on horseback, nearly running q carriage
and frightening women and children out of their pro-
priety. From one end of the street to the other not
a policeman could be found, though we made dill
gent search for one. 1t is a little singular that just
about shutdown, every day, all the policemen, like a
brood of chickens, run to roost, leaving the streets for
an hour or two at the mercy of q set of desperadoes,
who boast as they go home that they have broken one
maps bones. 1t is dangerous to Life and limb to
cross either Nuuanu Street between the two bridges,
or Beretania Street, near Gen. Miller's, at dusk,
as the natives seem to understand that that is the
only hour when they can race with impunity.
PoHA JELLY-We have received a jar of very ex-
cellent poha jelly, made oy Mrs. Taylor, at Kailua,
Hawaii. This jelly is as clear as crystal, and superior
in flavor to any we have ever tasted. Those who
wish to try a sample of it, can find it for sale at the
store of L. O. Hall, ESQ.
Is Our readers viii bear in mind the entertain
ment this evening at the Sailors Home. There will
probably be no very great display, but those who at
tend will find a pleasant entertainment and have an
opportunity to see for themselves what kind of q home
