The WAR ON THE CANISEs.-Tbe annual persecu-
ton of tagless dogs by the Police begun about ten.
days ago, and up to yesterday, not far from one hum
dred luckless ours had laid down their lives as a sac
rifce to the majesty of the law$ The practice here
tofore has been to begin the hunt for unregistered
dogs soon after the time for paying taxes had ex-
pired, but the present year, probably for good rea-
sons, the raid begins before the Assessor commences
bs labors. -
II SYMPTOMS OF RELAxATIoN.-Ths Spartan frmness
with which the Representatives, il the beginning of
the Session, refused to allow themselves newspapers
on account of the expense, or to have bills printed
for information, is beginning to relax. Quite a num-
Der of bills have been ordered pCisted of late, and
this week a resolution was passed,-actually without
a word of protest from the economists .-instructing
the Sergeant at Arms TO provide ice for the water
pitchers !! One remembers the jolly times of 20 and
| '72, and wonders if lunches and carriage rides are
among the possibilities before the close of the Session.
BUY A TICKET, EvERYBoDY.-We hope and expect
to see a full house on Monday evening next at the en-
tertainment by the Honolulu Amateurs at the Thea
tire, not only because the amusement will be well
worth the money, but mainly because the proceeds
will be for the benefit of a worthy mechanic who is
sick and in s~traitened circumstances, with a family
to support. Thus the appeal to our citizens is g for
Sweet Charity's sake an appeal which we have
never known them TO disregard. We wish the pub
lie to understand that this viii be a clear benefit,
with no charge whatever Tor expenses-Mr. Charles
nn~hT the proprietor of the Theatre, having given
the use of the house and lights, and this once mas ex
ecuted all the printing, without charge.
CATTLE-STEALING EXTRAoRDINARY.-On Tuesday
and Wednesday last, three natives were before the
Police Court, on a charge of cattIe-stealing. one as
principal and the others as accessory. 1t appeared
that between the 10th of May and the 18th of the
present month, these men had stolen from and about
the land of Moanalua, a few miles from Honolulu, no
less than eighteen head of cattle, the property of
eight different owners, among whom were Hon. j. l..
DoWsett, Judge Williams, Capt. G. Fl. Luce, and
others having cattle in the nsighborhopd Of AIoana-
lua. These cattle were brought to town at different
times, singly and in pairs, and sold to the butchers,
who seem to have had no suspicion that they were
stolen. About half the stolen animals were recovered
and restored to their owners, the others having been
slaughtered and sold. On Wednesday, the principal
thief, who plead guilty to all the charges against him,
was sentenced to two and q half years imprisonment
at hard labor, and the two accessories, to twelve
months each. -
