SUPPOSED lSFANTICIDE.-Consderabl excitement
has existed during the last few days in regard to the
dead body of child which was found under cir
cumstanees which led to the supposition that its
death was not natural The facts, as far we
have been able 10 ascertain, as follows: On
Thursday afternoon last, number Of native children
were bathing at Kahololoa, the slaughter houses
below the prison, and In running about discovered
the naked body of an infant lying in the mud. When
they reached home and Informed their parents OF
the discovery, they not credited and atten-
tion was paid to their story On the following
evening, while some women, who had heard the
report, were fishing in the vicinity, they concluded
TO look around before returning home, and found
the body of the child as had been reported. As il
quite late when they returned home no
information was sent to town until Saturday morn
ing, when word was brought TO the Police Station.
A policeman was instantly dispatched TO learn the
facts of the case, and finding the report true,
inquest was held that afternoon. The body was
blackened and shriveed APP, having TO all appearance
lain some days. 1t was Impossible TO tell how old
it may have BEEN whether 1t was child OF native
or foreign parents. The supposition is, however,
that it must have been at least three four weeks
old at the time of its death As nothing satisfactory
proved at the inquest beyond the fact of finding
the body of the child and that it was girl the
inquest adjourned until next Saturday, in hopes
that some evidence may in the meantime transpire
which will throw some light on the case. In the
opinion of many, the discovery of the infant at the
place and in the manner described does not by any
means prove that it belonged in that vicinity. 1t
may have been taken there by the water either from
tue Nuuanu stream, which has been high of late or
from the harbor, and left BY the receding tide.

STILL SHAKr.-Lahaina was treated to another
shock Of earthquake on Wednesday morning last
about two O'Clock. People were so badly scared,
that they did not waste any time their toilets, but
made their appearance out doors in the lghtes kind
Of attire. We understand that light shock was
felt here on Friday night, few minutes before
twelve. There are number who did not feel it
probably for the reason that they notice any
thing SO small. Earthquakes are getting to be
quite common all over the world, so that we can
not be surprised at being treated to them here occa
sionally

From Kau we learn that the earthquake of the
18th ut, was very slight there. The shock seemed
unusually long but the motion was slight and regu-
lar, so much so indeed that in that locality where
such commissions are somewhat common, it would
not have been remembered had not the people of
other parts of the Islands made much talk about
it. II is probable that the centre of that shake"
was somewhere about Maui and Lanai

THE enterprising individual in whom Mr. Tannatt
has taken considerable interest of late of
the quiet manner in which he took part of his stock
of his hands, is native boy of about fourteen years
Of age. He was arrested on Thursday last, and five
of the seven watches which he appropriated, were
recovered. On Saturday morning, the Police Magis-
trate, considering the boy rather young to be al
lowed TO transact business SO reckcssly on his own
account, made arrangements for his residence in the
reformatory school until the expiration of his
minority

We notice that Messrs Dowsott d Co, and Levers
q Dickson have rented the yard belonging to the
Hudson Bay Co. on the corner of Fort and Queen
Streets, and have made somewhat extensive repairs
on the store house at the corner. The appearance
Of that locality has been much improved by the
pairs made, but we arc Of the opinion that sub
stantial stone building of two stories in place Of the
shedike structure there at present, would improve
the appearance of the place still MORE as well as
prove a profitable investment The locality is an
excellent one

The MOUNT GEMS TUNNEL.-This, one of the
greatest human undertakings, was so far completed
the 10th Of January, as to allow the workmen on
the French and italian sides to communicate with
each other through the tunnel The work was com
meneed in 1857, having thus occupied over thirteen
years In tie completion. Some idea of the magui-
tude of the work be formed when it is consider
ed that the tunnel is little less than eight miles long,
passing under three Alpine peaks known as Col
Fregus, the Grand Vallon and the Col de la Kone
ranged in the order in which they named in pass
from France to Italy. The central peak is over
eleven Thousand feet above the level of the 1t
will require about six months to complete the rail
road through the tunnel which, when completed,
viii make the journey from France to Italy easy

TAGs.-We hear many complaints of parties who
have paid their taxes and furnished their CANNES
with the tags prescribed by the act of the last Legs
lature, that persons TO them unknown have apppro-
priatcd the same and probably transferred them to
their own canine pets This is a cheap way OF pay
ing the dog tax, bu; is rather hard on those who,
having complied with the law, may be Obliged in
order to their PETS 10 pay their dog taxes
again and procure new tags. 1t is to be hoped that
this petty larceny may be detected in some cases at
least and that the punishment melted to the culpris
may warn Others from like infrngments of the law.
As every owner of dog has the number of the tag
which he has provided for him registered on his tax
receipt, il win not be difficult to detect the appro-
priAtors-that is, Il the police are vigilsnt-

The Moses Taylor left her wharf at few minutes
past four o'clock on Thursday afternoon last. The
day was a wet one, and the crowd collected 10 see
the steamer off was rather small At the time she
left her wharf, drizzling rain set in, and although
she had large lumber of passengers board, very
few were to be seen, and altogether, her departure
was anything but lively affair. The week after
the sailing OF the steamer always seems TO be the
dullest in the month"; and the last, particularly so.
What helped it more probably, was the prospect of
having to await her return for our next mails.
