respondent at East Maui writes that the rain fall for
November at Capt Makee's. was $40 inches.
Gas- The first statement about the Queen Emma.
viz that she had taken a wheat charter for Europe.
is now believed To have been true. The next
steamer will be due on the l4th.
SENsATIoNAL.-A report came from Halawa, on
Thursday, that a Chinsman there had been cut and
stabbed ~fearfully. 1t turned out to have been a
mere scufie over cards a week ago, in which one
coolie knocked a little skin off the nose of another.
ARCTIC SKETcHEs.-Mr Thrum has received from
Captain Kelly, of the james Alien, a series Of
graphic sketches depicting the perils of the Arctic
during the last season. We learn that they are in
tended to illustrate an article on the Arctic whal-
ing fleet" -
ABUNDANT RAINs.-Lette from Maui and Hawaii
state that all portions of the country have been
abundantly watered with rains, and everything is
looking green. In some sections complaint is made
of too much water, and at Waipio, on Hawaii, q
freshet had occurred.
THE AMATEURs.-Thc projectors of the amateur
performance of The Lady of Lyons hope 10 be
able to present the play in a short time. Owing to
unforeseen difficulties, there Will be n triflng delay IN
getting everything ready. and we may look for it
now during the holiday week
| New LAMP.-Messrs. Dillingham; & Co. have on
exhibition at their store, a new style of chimney-less
lamps for burning kerosene that, they claim, are
perfect and simple in operation. One great improve
ment is the endless wick used in connection with
them. House-keepers will do well to examine these
new lamps. -
COLLISION. On Sunday evening two buggies.
driving along King street, near the corner of Fort,
came into collision. whereby one was considerably
smashed. and some of the occupants thrown out
fortunately without serious injury. During these
dark nights, the few and f~ar-between street lights
are of no assistance TO drivers.
ACCIDENT ON THE WHARF. Last Friday, two
native laborers employed in wheeling coal from the
ship yHadura, were badly injured-one of them
quite seriously-by a basketball of Goals being
dumped from the ships yard right onto them. 1t
seems that the position of the yard was shifted by
those on board without giving warning to the men
at work on the wharf. If this was so, it was a piece
of culpable carelessness.
STREET REGULATION.-By public notice it will he
seen that persons visiting Emma Square in carriages,
while the Band is playing, are requested to form in
line on each side of Emma street. so as to prevent
accidents, those on the side next the Square facing
mauka, and those on the opposite side makai. Per-
sons with children are requested to take them inside
the fence of the Square This very proper notice
has been issued upon the suggestion of Marshal
Parke, and we hope will he strictly complied with.
MUsIc.-The following programme of music will

Emma Square, this Saturday afternoon, commencing
at ~half-past four o'clock

QUICK WoRK.-Capt. Kelley of the Mmes .4Ilen
informs US that rs his vessel was towed into the
harbor of San Francisco and when abreast of the
wharves, he was hailed and told not TO drop his
anchor until he heard from his owners. Accordingly
he hauled aback, and dropping n boat down, went
ashore. He had no sooner reached the wharf than
he met one of his owners, who told him to make sail
Immediately for Honolulu, and never come near San
Francisco again. In a half an hour he was standing
out to sea again. All the "news" he heard was

The "BARRosA" AT BUTARITARL-Capt. Moore,
of ii. B. NJ. S. s. BdrrOSd, while at Butaritari one
of the Gilbert Islands, on the 18th of May last,
made all address to the King in these words:
My Government has sent me to these Islands to
preserve peace among the people. Man stealing
vessels from Tahiti, FIJI and Samoa have taken men
from these Islands, and sold them for slaves, (kaH-
wakuapaa). This is Il dishonorable business. Is
not approved, but dsliked by my Government.
Therefore, take care OF your people. Do not con-
sent to their going on board of these vessels.
will seize all such that | meet with, and take them
to Sydney to be punished
AN IMPUDENT BURGLAR.-Of all places in which
to break through and steal, one would think the
Temple of Justice would be the last a thief would
approach. Nevertheless, some one burglariously en-
tered through the window of the Court House last
Saturday night, and stole IherefrOm a few articles of
no great value to any one but the owner. Again
Monday evening, about half-past seven, q noise was
heard in the building, like that of some one moving
about in the dark and stumbling over chairs. Mar
shall Parke with a posse of constables surrounded
the house, while the interior was thoroughly
searched with lanterns. Result, nix. When every
thing was quiet again, more mysterious noises from
the inside of the building, another careful search
result as before Surely the usually decorous old
Court House is getting bewitched
THE OPERA. Last Saturday evening, Madame
Agatha States, the Soprano Prima Donna, and Signor
Carlo Orlandini, the celebrated baritone, gave the
first Of a series of operate concerts, at the Royal
Hawaiian Theatre to n full and highly appreciative
audience. Madame States was, if possible, in still
better voice than on her last appearance before a
Honolulu audience about a year since, on her way to
Australia, and the Signor has entirely recovered his
health and the full power of his splendid voice. The
programme, with the valuable aid of Mr.. Berger on
the piano. was rendered throughout without a defect,
and ELECTED the enthusiastic applause of the audience.
Where all the selections were faultlessly executed, it
is difficult to particularize, but perhaps the ballad of
Kathleen Mavourneen,'' by Madame States, and
the Cavatina from II Barbiere di Saviglia, by Signor
Orlandini, were best appreciated. The general and
obvious remark was that the powerful voices of the
singers required more space than is afforded by our
neat little theatre. --
The MYSTERIOUS Doc OF WAIMANALo.-Last Sat-
urday the people on Mr.. John Cummins' Ranch at
Koolau received a first class sensation in the shape
of a waif from the sea. While the men were en-
gagged in fishing at the edge of the reef, they OBJ
served, far out to seward, a dark object moving
