WAIIANALo RAxCH.-In our issue of last week
mention was made of the unusually handsome dis
play of beef at the market of Z. H. Boyd. Esq. ON
Christmas Eve. The cattle on this occasion we're, we
are informed, supplied from the well-known Cum
Minis Ranch, at Waimanalo, Koolau.
FREsHEr AT WAIALUA-The rain storm of Sunday
afternoon, Dec. Goth. was quite heavy at the North
end of this island, causing a sudden rise in the river
at Waialua, and destroying a large part of the bridge.
Word comes from that section that they will welcome
the advent of the Road Supervisor when he comes to
make repairs. -
ExCEssEs.-We regret to have to note that drunken
ness and fast riding were very prevalent among the
natives on New Years day. A good many arrests
were made for the latter offense and the parties duly
fined in the Police Court on Friday. But a stranger
just landed on our shores last Thursday afternoon,
would never imagine that we have a law forbidding
the selling or furnishing of spirits to native Hawaiians.

Emma Square, commencing at Al O'Clock. Follow
ing is the programme. to conclude with a march
around the square:

been a salute from Punchbowl on New Years.
it appears that the two arms of the service
the civil and military-iell out over a barrel of
beer, and through this 9" conflict of authorities"
the country was saved the cost of the salute.
The beer shall come in" said the military " 1t
shan't," said the civil = Then there won't be any
salute y said the military; and there wasn't. Bat
the beer went in, nevertheless. And so ended the

TAX Assessors AND APPEAL BoARDs.-By an Act
passed by the last Legislature entitled An Act to
amend the law in relation to the assessment and col
lection of Taxes" it was provided that the Minister
of Finance shall appoint two disinterested persons in
each district as members of the Board of Appeals
from the assessment. A correspondent says that on
Molokai, Mr.. E.. Z. Rogers, who is the Tax Assessor,
has also been appointed by the Minister a member of
the Board of Appeals, which appointment is in di-
violation of law.
A LOCAL Observation-Disclosures folks report
that there was an earthquake experienced at that To-
cality last Sunday, at 215 P. NJ. As we have not
heard of the shake being felt beyond the ~neighbor-
hood of the College, and as it is not to be supposed
for a moment that any chemical experiments are car
on there on Sunday,-we must conclude that
Madame Pele has in this instance shown decided fav-
oritism, and we may add, to a well-deserving ~institu-
Of learning. 1t is hardly necessary to remark,
that Punahou is quite welcome to all the shaking she
can get-Honolulu's recollections of the last, some
three years ago, being anything but agreeable.
