A SAD ACCIDENT Last Saturday afternoon a
f iau named Lew otyle aged ii years, a scholar in
e Tue auoa EnsIls9 Stool, while bird nesting on
the preclplee near Kapea Falls, lost his hold and
o fell a distance of some fosy feet. striking on the
Jagged rocks. Conclusion of the brain was the
consequence, and the lad did shortly after being
son of the late D. w. Styles OF yaipio and Hawai-
has, Hawaii.
A DOMESTIC HIATUS That is wat must have
| occurred in somebody's household on Saturday
{ last. The said somebody was evidently going
u hOmeward along King street. probably n "A Vapon
= in which was a large bundle from the wash, con-
+ sisting of shirts, table cloths. napkins, &c, DC. wlen
e opposite the residence OF Mr.. c. G. Coleman's te
bundle must have fallen out of the wagon. AT all
events such a bundle was found by Mr.. Coleman
on the road, who is ready to restore the property
to whoever will prove ownership.
% The horse :" Commodore" was p!ucky
enough to continue on the track, although Tho
lameness may not have been real. At any rate
, Harry Agnew is willing TO hold an interview with
the " intelligent observer " who made the acute
observation, and also willing to aid pecuniarily
the sarcastic and undoubtedly loser, on the staff OF
our contemporary. whose mean insinuatiols were
uttered in the crybaby style, and not warranted
by facts.
FRoGs.-Mr. H.. J. Hart, who recently visited
california, brought down about a dozen full grown,
lively frogs, (not related, we believe, to the jump
ing frog of Calaveras,) which have been distributed
among some of our residents who have water facili-
ties on their premises. 1t remains to be seen whether
these amphibious creatures will live here. Some
years ago q lot were brought here by DR.. Hillebrand,
and placed in the taro patches then bordering
Nuuanu Avenue. Residents of New England birth
used to stroll up the road on calm, still nights for
the pleasures of memory induced by hearing the
ksonorous notes of the frogs. But after the lapse of
1.-TWO or three months they were seen and heard no
more-perhapsd destroyed by rats.
Es- Passengers by the ZeaIQndia state that the
voyage down was most delightful. With fair winds,
fsmOoth sea and every attention from Capt. Cheva-
lier and the officers, it could not be otherwise.
Kamehameha Day was duly observed by the pas
sengers with dancing and ~games-the main feature
being the alligator race, which was won by IA rising
member of the Hawaiian bar. The programme for
Itthe day was arranged by one of Hawaii's sons who
was returning to the land of his birth after an alb
sence of twenty years. Among the Honolulu pas
sengers by the Zealdndid were the Hon. II. y. Z.
Carter, H. H. Ms Envoy to Europe; Gen. S. c..
Armstrong of the hampton Normal Institute; j.
o. Carter, Esq; F.. NJ. Hatch, Esq; a. w. Bush and
wife; NJ. S. Grinbaum and wife; Miss Montague,
(Cooke); S. l.. Austin, Esq, and others.
Our FACET PER ALUM FACET PER sE.-When, in the
course of human events, it becomes necessary for
a press representative to obtain information under
adverse circumstances. and u statement Is made to
that effect, a common sense OF regard tor the vera
city of such representative should be 4 prime iu-
centiVe to debar others who may lay claim to
the honorable name of journalist from making
statements which naturally reflect upon the truth
fulness of a report made by a brother professional.
Remarks from u race-courSe attache are not
palatable, especially an ipSe diGh by one whose
conceitedness assists greatly to retatd his being
regarded as Il gentleman. Why III the seeming,
thorough and self Mandatory report of the races on
the 18th, made in the Gazette. why did not some
remark appear regarding the second heat run By
Oliver and Commodore? Said heat was declared
dead from the Stand. And why is there no men
ton of the protest entered by Agnew regarding
the third ? AS gentlemen and journalists ackuow-
ledge that you were imposed upon, and that, like
the uncivil judge. you personally knew nothing.
