MORE FINE STocK.-The d. C.. .Murrau has
brought down another lot of ten thorough bred Span
ish Merino rams and one eve, from the celebrated
ranch of E. W. Woolsey, Esq, Berkeley, Cal, from
where nearly all our recent importations of fine stock
have come. This is the finest lot yet landed here.
being very large and heavily coated. This lot is for
the Molokai ranch, and will prove a valuable addi-
ton to our recent importations of the same stock.
It is quite evident our wool growers are alive to the
necessity Of improving or grading up their stock.
ANY information concerning the above celebrated
ranch will be furnished by our neighbor Mr.. NJ.
McInerny, who is the agent here. !
EPIDEMICs.-As is common to the months of June
and July of each year, diseases of a malarial charac-
ter are beginning to prevail. There have been several
cases of sore-throat in town, in some cases compli-
Gated with sranthem or eruption; but as yet there
has been no scarlatina or diphtheria, as has been cur
rently reported. 1t would behoove everyone at
present, 10 pay early attention to any throat trouble,
especially among children, as timely care may pre-
vent what medicine may not be able to cure. We
are Informed by q physician, that diseases have q
remarkably downward tendency at the present time
and without wishing to alarm, we would put peo-
pie on their guard by a disclosure Of what is actual
~ true.
HAWAII NEI AT THE CENTENNIAL.-We have ex-
smined a stereoscopic view of the arrangement of
the Hawaiian Department in the Centennial Exhi-
bition, and are satisfied from the view that Mr..
Hitchcock has arranged the various articles sent
forward in a tasteful and appropriate manner.
We notice that prominence is given to sugar sam
pies, which is well in our opinion, for we cannot
agree with the Gazette in saying that it is calcu-
lated to do us injury All accounts from Hawai-
ians at Philadelphia agree that Mr.. Hitchcock is
the right man in the right place.
base BALI--The season of 20 was opened on
Saturday last by a friendly match game. on the
plains, between the seemingly inVincible Athletes.
and the new formed Star Club. The day was a
pleasant one, and as the afternoon drew on the
company of spectators grew large, and manifested
a lively interest in the healthful sport. Play was
called at $50. with the Athletes at the bat. and for
the first half Of the game the scoring was kept low
on both sides, but on the eth inning the weakness
of the new club, through MANNED fingers and want
of practice together, became quite apparent, for
the Athletes in this inning scored eight runs, which
made it easy sailing to the close. An accident oc-
Cured to one of the Stars on their seventh inning
Yherein Willie Pogue severely sprained his left
ankle in running to third base. Play vas natural
ly interrupted for G time, and the fallen Star as
sisted to the tent, after which, by mutual agree
ment, the game was resumed with F. Macfarlane
as substitute. The match throughout was watched
with ir'n' st, and considering the condition of the }
