affection as this, and we think that in the good time

EXAMINATION OF NATIVE SCHOoLs.-The annual
examination of the native schools of the district of
Honolulu, took place on Thursday of last week at
Smiths Church. Generally the exercises passed off
with credit to the various schools, though there were
some exceptions. On Friday the annual exhibition
was held at the Stone Church, on which occasion
the eiifce was crowded to excess. The exercises
consisted of speaking, dialogues, singing, &c. The
latter was performed by each school separately, and
it was amusing to notice the striking difference be-
tween the various schools. The dialogues were Who'll
ly original and got up with a good deal of tact,
various costumes being employed, rs well rs drums,
music, and even Il canoe with all its parapharnalia
appeared on the stage. The incessant noise in and
out of the building, rendered the exercises less inter-
estiug than they would otherwise have been.
QUEENS HosPIrAL--A meeting of the Trustees Of
this body occurred on Thursday evening last, at which
the former officers were reelected, and the annual
reports of the Executive Committee, Physician and
Treasurer were presented. We have not space this
week for these documents in full. The report of the
Physician shows that 1,354 patients have received
medical aid since the opening of the Hospital, August
l, 1859. From the Trelsurer's Report, we gather
that the total assets of the corporation are S11, 426-
IL and the liabilities SS99 So. The current ex-
penscs of the Hospital during the above period, Gn-
Guiding the amount OF liabilities unpaid) have heen
S3,473 80. During the coming year, it is expected
that the entire assets will be needed in paying for
the new building now in course of erection. The
current expenses of the institution, will be met by
the revenue derived from hospital tax and direct ap-
preparations from the national treasury.
MAUL-We learn from travellers over the mountain
road between Lahaina and Waikiki, that there is a
very perceptible difference in the work of the two
road-supervisors Of the two districts. While Mr..
Oudinot is laboring very effectively with the native
laberers working out their road-tax) in improving
the roads, and has done Il good work, particularly
on the mountain, the Waikiki superintendent has
done little or nothing-not even to keep the road in
as good repair as when he received his appointment,
although he has the power of calling out The natives
OF his district 10 Work on the mountain. 30 import
ant u road should not be neglected.
Cox.-A waggish friend happening to observe a
painter at work on q billiard sign the other day,
abruptly interrupted him, with the following query:
mike, why should you now do to your sign
what Sayers did to Heenan :"
Don't know, answered our friend of the brush,
was surveying his job with an air of satisfaction.
Give it another stroke on the T (eye) and that will
finish it." Paints, oils and brush caved in.
WAIMANALo.-We learn that Mr.. r. Baxter Arm
strong has bought out one-half of Waimanalo, in
koolaupoko, from Mr.. 7. Cummings, who We regret TO ,
learn leaves the country to seek another climate to re-
establish his health. Waimanalo is one of the finest l
on this island, and well stocked with as fine a t
of cattle and sheep rs any grazing farm in the !
country. Terms private.-PoiyReSiaH. c
