\ DARING BURGLARY.-Yesterday morning on
opening the store of Dillingham; s Co. on King street,
it was discovered that the place had been in the occu-
pancy Of burglars during the night, the back door
being open. near which a piece of candle was found
still burning. On further examination Of the premi-
ses it was ascertained that the burglar or burglars
had effected an entrance through the rOof-to which
access is easy from the roof of the adjoining building
by removing the states and boring with an inch bitt
u square hole through the boarding. From thence 10
the aoor Of the first story, descent would be easy by
means Of u cord. Singularly enough, no plumber Of
consequence was obtained, the only articles missed
being two small revolvers, a package ofcartridges oftOo
large a size for the pistols, and two fob-chains, which
were taken from a showcase. The burglar was evil
IDENTIFY a bungler, for with all his boring and with a
store full Of tools at his command, he failed to open
any money drawers. 1t is fortunate that he was not
malicious as well as mischievous, otherwise his disap-
pointment in not obtaining plumber might have led
to arson as well as burglary. But the boldness and
skill displayed in entering the premises, are in marked
contrast with the lack of skill evident after getting
inside. The Marshal has offered a reward of 500
for information that will lead to the arrest Of the
burglar.

The New GOVERNMENT WAREHoUsEs.--Tbe Gazette
of this week in an article descriptive of the new
warehouses for island produce at the steamship
wharf, makes the error of stating that they were
planned by Mr.. Stirling, to whom they are a credit.
Mr.. Stirling is an estimable gentleman and a good
architect, but he had no more to do with the plan
ming OF those warehouses than did the editor of
the Gazette, for they were not thought of until
after he left the country. And whatever credit is
due in the matter belongs to Mr.. Robert Lishman,
who planned and superintendent the whole. The
two warehouses are built of coral stone, side by
side, are fre-proof, and are nearly OF a size, say
so x 100 feet. The reason for building two struc-
lures instead of one large one, was that it was in
tended, while the mauka one should be devoted
exclusively TO the uses of the steamship agents,
the makai one was designed for the reception of
island produce generally, in which could be stored
sugar, ETC., upon which the government had made
advances under provisions of the loan act of the
last session. The accomplishment of reciprocity
will probably render unnecessary the provisions
of the act in this particular, but the store-house
will nevertheless be available and useful, for the
storage of produce and the accommodation of
coasters and shipping generally, on payment of 3
small rate of storage. The whole premises, TO the
edge of the dock on each side, are surrounded by
Il high board fence, which is provided with gates,
the object being to keep ont vehicles, and idlers at
night while the steamers are in port, and to guard
against infractions of the revenue laws. These
new warehouses have cost the government a pretty
round sum, but they are in the nature of needed
and valuable public improvements.

A NEW ENTERPRIsE.-One of the earliest effects Of
the enliyening new about reciprocity is the DISPOSE
ton evinced to embark in new agricultural enter
prises; and one of the most promising projects of the
kind is set forth in the prospectus of a moderately
sized sugar plantation to be established on the land
of Moanui, owned by Mr.. Eugene Bal, on the east
side of Molokai and facing Lahaina. The estate con-
sists OF some $50 acres, 200 of which are excellent
cane land, 200 pasture and coffee lands, and the
balance thickly wooded. A considerable and never
failing stream of water runs through the whole land,
furnishing ample water-power. Contiguous to the
land is a deep, ll-sheltered schooner barber, with
a good boat landing. The native land holders III the
vicinity have about 200 acres of good cane land, and
are very DESTROYS of going into the business of plant
ing on halves, as soon as the erection of a mill is
assured. Mr.. Bal, (who has already laid out nearly
$4,000 on the place in improvements, labor, &C..
including a hume, q miles long) proposes to form a
company for the cultivation and manufacture of
sugar at Moanui, with 250 shares at 500 each. AS
soon as two-thirds of the shares are subscribed, a
meeting will be called for the purpose of organization.
Mr.. Bal is well known for industry. energy and
activity. and we wish him every success in his new
enterprise.

REFUSED DUrY.-SOme twenty of the crew Of the
whaleship Cornelius HOteland, while lying at HilO,
refused duty, unless their demand for more liberty
on shore was complied with. Captain Holman had
them arrested and locked up, and after some talk
with Captain Spencer the U. s. Vice-COnsul, ten of
the men returned to duty and the remainder were put
on board in irons At the request of Capt. Holman,
the steamer KTiaueG, which happened to be at Hilo,
towed the ship to sea. She arrived here on the 25th
ult., and the difficulty with the crew was adjusted
and the vessel sailed on her voyage to the Arctic.
She has done well on her voyage out, reporting $50
sperm and 100 whale oil in eight months.

turned into the canoe-by Chinese passengers, who
iutimated that they did not desire 10 purchase
them. 1t afterwards transpired that the insides OF
those melons had been carefully scooped out, the
cavity filed with boxes of opium and the rind put
neatly together again, when the " no goodee melon"
was taken on shore. Z

PROBABLE MANsLAUGHTER on HAwAu.--A letter,
from Mr. s. X. Kaai, Deputy Sheriff of North

near Kailua, a native named Kamaka had a dis
pute with one Wahineaea, who assaulted him. After
the assault, Kamaka got on his mule and rode
about half q mile and fell OF, and was picked up
insensible. He died on the 2lst. \ coroner's
jury was impanueled, who returned a verdict to
the effect that the deceased was a sickly man, and
that bis death was fastened by the treatment he
had received at the hands of Wahineaea. The
latter was arrested, and the case was to be investi-
gated by the magistrate.

4 Hint TO SAN Observation-Disclosures in other
countries have shown that encroachments of the sand
washed up by the ocean can be checked. In the south
western part Of France there is a beautiful city in the
centre of a pine forest. where less than a century ago
a waste Of ocean sand was piled mountain high. In
the beginning, the moving sands near the beach were
planted with pines, which fourished in spite Of the
unstable nature Of their foundation. This plantation
vas continued inward year after year, and furnished
q perfect protection against the encroachments Of the
sand. One hundred miles along tie COAT IN the
southwestern part of France il protected by q belt Of
pine forests from four to eighteen miles in breadth.
The climate in this vicinity is delicious, ard it is much
visited by Psrisisns in the Winter. The particular
tree planted is the pinus maTlina, though it ia pos
sible other varieties of pine would do equally well.
The above is from the Bulletin. Perhaps our
East Maui friends may also take a hint therefrom con-
corning the drifting sands of Kahului and its neigh
borheod.

RAMIE.-It is well known that the Rsmie plant,

city is now at work on a machine of his own inyen-

will answer the desired purpose. If it shall prove a
