IMPROVED CorFEE-The following item which we
find in a California paper. explains one mode Of pro
duciug a dler favor IN coffee, reSortei TO in the East
Indies, which i virtually the same in principle, as
the method ty which the fine favored kona Coffee Is
produced, viz allowing the pulp or hull 10 ripen
with the berry in it, by which means the rich favor
Of the pulp i impaired 70 the berry, and a superior
article produced. This method requires a dry climate,
and more care and labor than the ordinary mode Of
curing coffee.
"LoAK'' CoFFEE-A new article of coffee in this
market, but not in those of Europe, where II : priced
very highly. has been introduced here recently in the
cargo Of The bark RIe5sT from Batavia. The pecul-
arity Of this variety consists in the berry being al
lowed 10 ripen upon the plant without Being picked.
While the crop / approaching maturity, certain ber-
ries ri1en and fail to the ground, when the juicy
pulp Of the outer covering OF the grain invites the ap-
petite If the loak, a small squirrel that feeds upon
the cutter coating ami leaves the grain uEdisturbel.
The lover Of tue beverage therefore has the benei; II
having II prepI-ed from a thoroughly maturei grain,
instead Of 4 berry that was picked prematurely and
only allowed to attain m excellence, We presume,
about equivalent 10 the ripeniug OF any other fruit
after being picked from its parent tree. The - l0ak'
coffee i consequently q rare article, aud highly es-
teelHe4 for IL peculiar merits.
GERMAN BIRDs-The Agricultural Society and the
community are indebted to Nessrs. HackfeId < Co.
for the introduction Of some more birds by their bark,
the r. u. Hood. Their plans were on a large
scale, equalei only by their well-known Eberality.
They ordered about 200 birds, consisting Of larks,
~thrushes, sParrows, cbafinches, and green fnches
which we're all caught and ready TO ship, but while
the vessel was loading, the sparrogs, (about leo in
n@umber,) all died from fighting with each other. All
the IaIks and thrushes also died on the passage. and
there remain some fifteen pairs Of green-fnches aud
chafiuches, which had an entire state room appropri-
atci to their use. These birds have been turned over
to the Agricultural Society and will be set loose.
Owners Of vessels leaving foreign ports for Honolulu,
will confer a great favor by sending cut birds, when
it can be done without great expense. Weneed more
sougsters here. -
interest AND HoARDING-The money found buried
GU the premises Of d" Dutch Harry whose decease
We motel last week, amounted 10 $1,000 in hard
coin. This was found buried in an old powder can
and must have been there twenty-five years, rs It
mostly in Old Spanish and Mexican coin. Sup
posing II had lain there that length Of time. the IN
come lost on 1t during that period, NJ simple y per
cent. Interest, would have amounted 70 So. 500!
compound interest, which bond and mortgage
generally realize, it would nave amounted
for the same period, TO the snug sum OF S272,O00!
Besides the above money found buried, he had given
to his son one thousand dollars, "A short time before
his death, and there are some two or three thousand
At Understanding a total Of over so, 600.
BARK . RoBr. W. WOOD This new clipper pack

7rising residents and planters, arrived on Saturday

age out, TO be very superior. Although too deeply
aden for a fair trial Of speed, she made II Knots On
everal occasions, and her best days run was only
.36 miles. She was built for the China and Manila
rade, in which she will lie put, though before leav
~ for the west, she may possibly make a trip to the
cast. -
FINE FLoUR-We have received a bag Of four
Manufactured by A. F. Silvay at wailuku. which in
uality and color compares f~avorahly with the best
'regon or California \ trial Of it by one Of the
est housewives in Honolulu, TO whose judgment We
i, proves it To be superior to any domestic
our yet offered here. If the quality Of the -four Of
le above mill offered in the market Is equal TO the
ample tested, We can safely recommend It's use by
0use-keepers and bakers. We understand that the
ill has been recently much improved, and a new
o. y boiling cloth is used. Competition sharpens
le ingenuity and skill Of manufacturers, and our
ono,ulu millers viii have to look out for their
urels. -
REVIVAL AMONG The NATIvEs.-A religious re-
val has been IN progress For some weeks among the
population, and frequent meetings are held.
n Sabbath evenings. for the past three or four
eeks, the Stone Church and Smiths Church, CHE
being held alternately in the above places)
I've been crowded to OVERLOOKING. On these occl-
men and women rise up, and address the as

tended all over Oahu, and We trust may have T.
ID result. -
