The EARTHQUAKES on HAwAII.-0ur attentive
correspondent at Hilo writes: During the after
noon of the 18th, (Monday) the weather looked
gloomy enough, with thunder aud lightning very
high overhead, and not much rain. Aftss dark there
was a brilliant light from the volcano, brighter than
his been seen for months past. At 6 O'Clock on the
morning of Tuesday, the earth begun to tremble for
g few seconds with starts and a jerking motion, and
then in an instant it seemed Us if everything was
coming to pieces. This lasted for ten or fifteen sec
onds, when it slowed down gradually. From the
first to the last it was perhaps two minutes. People
here say that it was equal to the one Of 1865. though
not of so long duration. We expect some news from
Kilauea or Mauna Loa.

sugar, and viii be for the next four months. or until

thousand tons of sugar this season, at a low estimate.

BANQUET OF THE KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAs.-0n We'd
nesday evening last, the officers elect of Oahu Lodge
No. l, K. of P, were installed by David Dayton,
Deputy Supreme Chancellor. After the ceremony,
the brethren, with invited guests, adjourned to Buff
fum's Hall, where q sumptuous repast was spread,
under the tasty supervision of Bro. KIT. c. F. Horn,
and where several hours were passed in pleasant social
intercourse. Among the guests were representatives Of
the Masonic and Odd Fellows organizations of the city,
and the heads Of the Fire Department. The first
toast of the evening was " His Majesty the King aud
the Royal Family which was duly honored, and
responded to in an appropriate speech by Bro. Past
Chancellor Jno. A. Hassinger. The health Of the
" Supreme Chancellor, Knights of Pythias Of the
World,'' having been drank, in response to a call

disbursed something over 5000 for relief of sick
members since it was first organized, and has a

Orders, " it is apt to make him a better husband, q
better father, and a better citizen"

BEER SELLING.-In the Police Court on Wednesday
two parties were fined for selling an intoxicating
substance known as beer, one 500 and the other as
accessory, S35. In the course of the trial it became
pretty evident that one of the witnesses for the
defense had laid himself liable to a prosecution for
perjury, and he was held to answer. After a night
spent in one of the cells at the station house, he
came before the Court and acknowledged to having
sworn falsely, and stated that he had been persuaded
and bribed to do SO by the native lawyer for the
defense. A noIIe pros. was entered in the case of the
recanting witness, and the lawyer is to be proceeded
against for subOrnatiOn of perjury. Thus this mis-
cradle beer business is leading the people to crime
and the states-prisou.

in that district have " all but ruined themselves - in
planting cane, with the expectation that a mill would
be put up ; in which expectation it seems they have
been disappointed The writer says he saw some
fifty or sixty acres Of as fine looking cane as can be
found in any partOf the islands, but which must be
allowed to rot on the ground and turned over to
cattle and hogs for the want of a mill to grind it.
