on many accounts to the generality of Faber's-
T1cHBoRSE AGAIx.-A Mr.. Jackson, in the Sydney
Morning Herald of Feb. II. declares his belief
for reasons given-that Mr.. Souper, now said TO be
managing an estate near Brighton, Sussex, England,
is the veritable Sir Roger Charles Doughty TichbOrue.
On THEIR TRAvELs.-At Chicago, Messrs. Mac
farlane and Phuger. lately from Honolulu, were in
terviewed by q reporter Of the Times Of that city, and
everything they said appeared in print next morning,
together with particulars as to the personal appear
ance of each of the gentlemen.
The MEAsLEs.-On Thursday last, another of the
passengers per yHikado-this time a lady-was
found to have the earlier symptoms of the disease,
and was promptly removed by order of the Board of
Health to the quarantine hospital on the reef. 1t is
to be hoped that the disease will spread no farther.
PUNAHoU.-The examinations at Oahu College
were held during the week, beginning on Tuesday
and ending yesterday. The bad weather prevented
so full an attendance as might otherwise have been
expected. but we learn that the r~ecitations and exer-
cises were highly creditable to both teachers and
pupils.

Emma Square this afternoon, commencing at half
past four O'Clock. Following is the programme:
Prince Victoria, Festal March Berger

4 EMPEROR WILLIAMS BIRTHDAY.-Wednesday next
will be the 10th anniversary Of the birth Of the
grand old Christian gentleman who occupies the
throne of United Germany. We are requested to
say that our German fellow-citizens have employed
the band tc play at Emma Square in honor Of the
day, from 4 TO 6 O'Clock P. NJ. and that the public
generally are Invited.
MARCH WEATHER.-It has rained on East Maui
almost every day this month. So far the measure
foots up 5 inches in the Makawao district. Although
the first part of the winter was exceptionally dry,
yet if March keeps up its reputation for storms the
district will be well watered. On the 18th inst, the
rainfall in twenty minutes, was at the rate of eighty
six millions, ~sixty-six thousand one hundred and
fifty barrels per hour on IN area five miles long,
and two miles wide. Querey: How much rain fell!
THE WEATHER certainly deserves an item. During
q residence of many years in Honolulu we cannot
remember another just such "spell'' of ~southerly
winds and frequent rains as has been experienced
with brief interruptions since the year came in.
Since Wednesday the wind has been fresh from about
due south, and as to rain-the quantity of water
that has fallen is something huge. Talking with an
old resident about the anomalous weather, he as

+ THE CURs.--The City Fathers Z" of New York
have recently passed a law, which was approved
by the Mayor, that provides that d" a Magistrate
may have killed or removed from the city limits any
dog whose barking or bowling may annoy any sick
person or citizens generally, the testimony to the
fact of annoyance having been received by such
magistrate" This is a sensible law; and were wes
number of the Hawaiian legislature, we should
advocate the passage of a similar law here, where
the annoyance from ours at nighttime is often fear
full.
ERRArUM.-In the published address to His Maj
esty, issued March 4, there occurs an omission of the
words, (which while necessary for the industrial
interests of the country in the paragraph commen-
cling" what action indeed - which should continue
to read thus 6. why we have procured 8 few Chinese
male laborers. and we are expecting a few hundred
more, which while necessary for the industrial in
terests of the country will add to the present dispro-
portion etc., and it so reads in the manuscript copy
presented His Majesty. The name Of E. Preston,
omitted in the published list Of names is subscribed
to the address laid before His Majesty.
THE VOLCANO HoUsE.-By advertisement in to-
days paper it will be observed that from and after
Saturday next, the 25th inst, the eating and lodging
establishment at the Crater of Kilauea, known as the
Volcano House, will be closed. This will be regretted
by all who may hereafter visit Kilauea, for the efforts
of the proprietors, Messrs. Jones and Richardson, to
render the house comfortable and respectable during
the years that it has been in their hands, have been
fully appreciated. They are now however compelled
to give it up, owing to q change in business arrange
ments; and hereafter visitors to the eighth wonder
of the world will have to provide themselves at Hilo
with oil the parapharnalia for camping out. We
trust however that ere long the increase Of visitors
to the Islands will be such that it will justify some
one in reopening the Volcano House for the accom-
mediation Of tourists.
