4 DIsTILLERY BROKEN UP.-We are exceedingly

Mr.. Vim. o.. Smith, in company with Messrs AlbeH
WILCOX and II. johnson, recently made a raid on a
distiIlery situated in a very difficult place to get at,
il Wainiha valley. They found and secured the ap-
Paratus of a very extensive distilery, together with
thirteen barrels Of fermeuted juice of the HI root,
and some twenty denjohns, containing more or less
okolehao, and what was better, captured five notori-
Gus distillers. These have been convicted and fned,
the fines amounting in the aggregate to $1,000. They
had however appealed for n jury trial. The liquor
making business was brisk at Kauai, and doubtless
every where else, just previous to the elections.

GRAssHoPPERs.-These insects appear to be in
creasing in the limits of the city, owing doubtless to
the growing abundance of shrubbery, and to some
extent are becoming a nuisance by destroying how-
es and the foliage of choice plants. Recently OBJ
serving some boys at night with candles in a flower
garden we found on inquiry that they were catching
grasshoppers, the owner of the grounds giving them
twenty-five cents a hundred for all they killed. They
thus easily earned their circus money in an hour

hundred and fifty-nine delegates were pre-

trict The convention was called to order,
n little before three, and the whole after
noon, until dark, was spent in organizing.
1t was apparent from the beginning that
the Poland men were clearly in majority,
but the Steele men struggled hard to avert
their fate, and bolt was expected by
many. The feelings of the sore ones how
ever, found vent in nothing worse than
useless motions 10 adjourn and other fill
clustering movements tending to delay
what they could not prevent.
Hon. Il. d. Harris, of Brattleboro, pre-
sided, and Messrs. j. S. Adams, of Chcs-
ter, and y. l.. Boyden, of Randolph, were
chosen secretaries. At n quarter past eight
