FREsHET AT MAUI-Captain Shepherd informs us
that there was a lively time, in the water line, on
Thursday last, the same day that we had the freshet
in Nuuauu Valley. From wailuku to waihee, new streams
were formed, some fences were washed away. and there was a
wet time generally. On Tuesday and Friday last, there had
been plentiful showers at U%lupalakua.
For HowLAND's IsLAND-The Uhite SlcalioU
had arrived in San Francisco, April DIST. She will
stop here on her way to her place Of lading, leaving San Fran
cisco about the middle of May. If we remember rightly, the
Hbite SCdkOD was the first clipper that ever loaded guano at
Jarvis Island. some SIN or eight years ago. and may therefore
be called the pioneer in the Pacific guano trade.

buliOck-carts were racing at this place, when one
of the carts struck a fence near Rev. Mr.. Bishops, upset and
fell upon the driver, killing him. DIR. Rae held an inquest upon
the body. and the verdict of the iurV "a that the driving

Wharf.-The wheat growers ut Alakawao complain
that the ruling price is to be IS cents per bushel this
year. Unless they get 81 90 per bushel they contend it does
not pay them, uor can they afford to plant, and say they will
not raise it. --
TREES AT Coco HEAD-Some large trees have
drifted ashore at this place, probably brought by
currants from the coast of California and Oregon, after being
washed away by freshets.
