Following the address Of the President, IS 4 his
,orical sketch Of Punahou, by 4. F. JUDD, Esq-,
one OF the alumni, and q graduate Of Yale
College. This Is the first attempt = collect
historical dat. relating 70 Punahou, and on this
account posesses more than ordinary interest.
Our limits permit Us to extract only the follow
ing paragraphs:

In 1880. the e big rock vas set I'D near the site

twelve feet high and weighing several tons. and Of
the shape Of = mammoth k4dD. Often | have
climbed - its top and eaten my lunch from ny tin
pail thereon and 10 my childish Imagination il
seemed a. high - . church-tDwer. This rock exists
no longer in IL former proportions. but las been
broken up by blasts and hammers. and has cOuiri-
buted largely 10 the new wall enclosing the lOt
below the lower gate. This piece Of c4ndqlisla was
perpetT=ted some time in 1886 or 1854. but the
name Of the guilty author has balied all our engui-
ri-s. nor do We wish 10 know his name. for let not
the fate Of him who. for notOriety. set fire to the
temple Of EpbesUs be his. and let his name - IN
known to history.
The history Of the moving Of this rock IS a. fol-
lows: In 1896. kaahUmanU asked kUakini TO

people. and 10 the UElunanu under kauikeaDuii.

big rock vas eXhHmed from its bed. at the side Of
the road leading to ManOa Valley. opposite the
upper corner Of the present upper stone wall. and
rolled upon = framework Of ships spars. kIuike-
aOuli seated himself upon the apex Of the stone.
and gave the word Of command. and stone. King.

guilty 4t-d lands above, and q smaller stone was
placed opposite to it by Governor Adams.
There Is much other interesting matter in
