~ Two runaways to record this week-one
on Saturday afternoon, and one on Sunday
morning. The frst-named was a pair of black
ponies attached to a wagon loaded with oats and
a variety of groceries. They tore up Fort-street
at full speed without any driver, finally unhitch-
ing themselves from the vehicle by coming in
contact with n lamp-post at the corner of Bere-
tania-street. An irreparable smash was the con-
sequence, but no damage to the animals. The
runaway on Sunday was also. a team-Drs

ceeded in demOlishing the doctors carriage, and
were finally arrested in Richard-street. Scarcely
a week passes by but we are called upon to record
some similar accident.
~ Some needed repairs have been executed
during the week to the wooden cells at the foot
of the Police Station yard. The object of this
work has been to prevent the recurrence of such
an Incident as occurred on Tuesday afternoon
last, when a Norwegian who had. run away from
his contract service on Maui, and was to have
been sent back again by the Likelike, succeeded
in making his escape by lifting one of the floor
ing boards of the cell he was confined in. From
the appearance of the new work, it does not
appear probable that anyone will be able to
repeat the enterprise. A substantial cross slab
has been laid upon the flooring within the door
stills crossing each plank of floor, and other pre-
cautions taken to make the cells secure.
- Some very successful revival meetings
have been held at Kawaiahao Church during the
week. On Tuesday evening the lower room of
the church was crowded to hear an address from
Mr.. w. H. Rice, who speaks the native language
huently. Mr.. II. Swinton, q recent convert, and
Mr.. Justice Judd, Mr.. H. A. p. Carter, Mr.. P. @.
Jones, Mr.. Henry Warehouse and several others
also addressed the assembly and were listened TO
with evident interest. Testimony as to their
conversion was given by several natives. Mr..
Hallenbeck held a service in the Church on
Wednesday evening, his address being interpret
ed by Mr.. Rice. An enquiry and prayer meeting
was held after the service. On Thursday even
ing the Rev. DR.. Hyde held a similar service and
last night Mr.. Hallenbeck again took charge.
~ The cook of the ship Suffolk was SEN
fenced, on Wednesday, by Judge Bickerton, to
six months Imprisonment, with hard labor, for
a violent assault on one of the seamen of that
ship. The assault was of an aggravated charac-
ter. and the last act of the cook was to seize his
cOmrade by the throat, folce out his tongue, and
bite it so savagely that he nearly severed from
it a piece about three-quarters of an inch long.
Both the assailant and his victim were very
drunk at the time. His Honor sentenced him
to six months Imprisonment at hard labor, and,
at the same time, expressed his regret that he
could not give a heavier penalty. The prisoner,
by leave of the Bench, addressed his victim with
! a warning against drink, urging him 10 remem-
Der that he was n man who had always done his
work on board ship, and been q good comrade,
and that now, because of indulgence in drink,
he was going to spend six months in Honolulu
gaol.
E9 The variety performances at the Theatre
OH Thursday evenings were of an attractive
character. The bill was n good one on each
occasion. Miss Howard and Mr.. Stevens ap-
peared To advantage in the Rehearsal" which
was given with spirit by the company generally.
Miss STEMS Jig always pleases, and Nray's gro
tesques, and Elleford and Halls Irish comicali-
ties continue to delight. This evening director

| Brown has volunteered to sing one of his favorite
