Rrrs Sw.pMrSG-Our readers will be glad to
hear that the bees imported about three months since
from California, and purchased by the Agricultural
Society, have swarmed. Since their arrival they
have been in charge of DR.. Hillebrand, who has
been ex pecting for some days that the bees would
swarm. Yesterday forenoon the hives were in a great
uproar, and the Dr., with several amateurs went up
with a new hive, and the usual accompaniments of
tin pan music, but after several hours endeavoriug
to colonize them in a new hive, they returned to the
old. They will probably swarm again in a few days.
The prospect is that these bees will now increase
rapidly, and soon be transferred to the other islands.

on Wednesday night, or Thursday morning, the 28th.

something which he saw, ran away with a piece of
timber to which he was tied, and in turning up Rose
Lane, the stick rebounding struck him on the hind
leg near the joint, and broke it short off. By adj
ministering chloroform the leg was set, and the
horse will survive the accident. He is an imported
stallion, sired by the celebrated horse " Mingo, y
of Kentucky, and was valued Mt $500.
THE KINa's BIRrH-DAY.-Next Tuesday, February
9th is the anniversary of the birth of His Majesty

down to an anniversary supper ut their rooms. We
understand that the Honolulu Rifles will probably
