Tovv Su1crpE.-We read in the Haze Haacdst,
If last week. note of suicide by hanging. OF q nauve
al Koo,au. on the ODD ult. The cause assigned was
bic rass;on for a mistress. Tragic consummations OF
Illicit love would appear to be multiplying Of iate' ana
nerbans becoming a mania, three instances invoi-
wing five lives having occurred within six months
upon Oahu, almost in one neighborhood- ms KIT
ing and dying for love is q Partisan fashion "nicn
we should regret to see prevailing here ana Suggest
that it would be as well not to give the cases un-
necessary publicity, there being fools weak enough
to die for the sake of being in print ana TAXED aoou'.
u.pn D1ccING-The steam dredge now at work
off the Esplanade. has for the last fortnight past, nao
hard work to perform, having to cut through
solid coral and lava, severely testing her strength.
She has TO dig twenty feet, in order to obtain the re-
ouired depth. Sometimes the dipper brings up soma
p;eces weighing six or eight cwt., that 1t mas larry
hewu of. Last week the dipper brought up some In
terestinp relics, among which was the handle OF an
ancient war club, having the appearance OF peing III
the water for q very long time.
~ Our cotemporary is very smart sometimes
In last Saturdays issue, in its shipping for the port
of Honolulu, it gives a long string OF coasters as
arriving on the 9th, all Of which had arrived on
the pol and I'd. The "terrapin" is evidently De-
ginning to be brought into active service again.
We should mt have noticed the smartness OF the
terrapin coach, only for boast made in the previous
number that its SO Marine Report is second to none
for accuracy" &c. "

limits con6ne US to a brief otice.-Frien
IRWIN g. Co., AccoUNTANTs.-It gives US pleasure
to speak of this firm, and the satisfaction with which

criterion that anything entrusted to their care, Will
be properly attended to.

WORTH MISUNDERSTANDING morning, James
Ward, a sailor boarding at the National Hotel. found
