NORTH KoNA, Hawaii, Sept. 3, 1856.
Within a few days past we have been favored with
two or three heavy showers. The ground in this re-
gion has not been so wet before for the last eight
months. The gripping hand of famine is beginning to
release it's grasp, yet but a small portion of the natives
are able to get their ordinary food. Probably two
thirds of them are living chiefly on squashes and mel
ons, while some have but little beyond the roots OBJ
taired from the mountains.
[ should like much to send you a sample of the
figs now ripening upon a very Furnishing tree near
our house; but they are q kind of fruit that will not
bear transportation. From this tree we are now
picking every other day about a peck of most deli
cious fruit. l weighed eight of the largest gathered
this morning and found their united weight to be t,co
pounds, making each fig one quarter of a pound in
weight. Those weighed were not any larger than q
considerable portion of those picked at each gather
ing. The tree from which this fruit is obtained, stands
in good soil, is unencumbered by grass underneath, or
shade around it, except that produced by it's own
heavy foliage. We have had ripe figs from this tree
for the last month, and probably shall continue to
have for two months to come, Judging from its present
appearance. Last February l. stripped it of every
leaf: A tree of the same kind, growing in equally
good soil, and but a few rods distant, but CLOSELY sur
rounded by coffee trees, bears but little fruit, and
what 1t does produce is not more than half as large
as that obtained from the other tree. A free circula-
ton OF air, and the unobstructed rays of the sun seem
indispensable IN bringing any kind of fruit to it's
highest perfection. Yours truly, T.

in newly chnTned butter? These specks adhere so
closely to the butter that it requires a great deal of
time to wash them out, and if left in, they render it
unfit for table use in two OF three days.
Is it essential, in order to make good butter ia this

SIR,-Perhaps you can inform the Public, and if
not, you can ask for information in the proper quar-
ter. why it is, that at the end of the rainy season,
the streets of Honolulu are allowed to fall into SO
very disgraceful a state as they now are Every
body remarks ON their broken-up and dangerous
condition, but nobody seems to know where to look
for redress. Can it be, that the authorities, who so
sedulously collect the road tax, and compel its pune
tual payment at the peril Of the Police Court, can
find no means of having a portion of it expended on
our roads? The amount of this tax levied off the
citizens of Honolulu ought certainly to ensure at
least safe and decent thoroughfares. If not. let the
tax be repealed and let the citizens, by public sub
~scription, have the streets kept in proper order.
Could not the prisoners in the fort during the in
tervals of employment, be made to work on the
streets, instead of lettering and sleeping within the
walls of the prison [ throw out these suggestions
in the hope of e%liciting some information on a sub
Ject of universal interest and some importance to our
comfort and safety. am, &C., CIvIs.

NOTES DE THE WEEK.

Oh the dust and heat that make our Septembers
intolerable. Every breeze raises a cloud of dust
that fills the stores, covers the counters, paints
the shelves, soils the calicoes, enters the kitchen, thick
ems the soup, blinds the cook, and vexes the patience
of the pleasantest housekeeper in town. But disa-
greeable as the air is, what shall we say of the roads,
knee deep with ruts and dust. Some call them i'm
passable, bat our horse manages to get through them
somehow, though twice he has pitched us over his
head unchanged. If our neck is broken however,
we shall sue the corporation for damages.

~ The dredge machine last week sustained an

- The dredge machine last week sustained an
accident, in the breaking of the scoop handle, a piece
of timber thirty or forty feet long and ten inches
square, bending it double. 1t was found to be only
of common pine. There being a spare arm, the de
lay in the working OF the dredge was only a day or
two. A retaining wall ought to be built in the first
place, to keep the mud where it is put. The mud
hardens very soon, if the water is drained from it,
butfoats off with every tide, and slides into the water
as things are now, consequently the work will have
to be repeated to some extent. If the outer fort
wall were taken, and a good retaining wall built from
Robinson's Wharf to the buoy, the machine might
lie alongside, and every pound of dirt it threw in
side would stay there, and when filled up to the height
of the wall, rails might be laid and cars carry the
mud with ease wherever desired.
- A very pleasant children's picnic came off on
Saturday last, among the shady cocoanut groves
of Waikiki most beautiful place for Juvenile frol-

trees have always appeared to have a sacredness
about them, as the home and resting-place of the old
heroes of the days of Kamehameha the Great, where
they held their tabued councils and feasts. The pic
mic passed off very agreeably to the sixty or seventy
children and parents who participated in it. The re-
turn procession to the town made quite an imposing
sight, consisting of ten or twelve carriages and some
twenty persons on horseback, with flags, ban
