The fire bell rang about half-past six O'Clock on
Saturday evening. The cause of the alarm was
the burning of some scrub or rubbish near the
Lunatic Asylum. The first report which spread
round the town was that that building itself was
on fire, a story which created a good deal Of alarm
as to the safety of the inmates.
THE pigs that came down on the d.. C. Murray

ton he had made on the body of Kailiulaula (k.),

hemorrhage into the pericardium from an aneurism
of the first part of the aorta. DR.. Emerson ex-
pressed his conviction that no medical art could
have availed to postpone the mans death after the
hemOrrhage once commenced.
ONE of our saloon-keepers was very much aston
ished at the apparition in his saloon on Saturday
night of a well-known leader of the temperance
in this town, arrayed in the garb Of a
sailor of the U, 8. Navy. This unwonted customer
purchased a bottle of ale and a bottle Of stout,
to have them analysed, in pursuance
of the intended crusade against adulterated drinks,
which, according TO Mr.. CruZan, is to result in the
closing of every saloon in town within six months.
argument, however, will persuade the astonished
saloon-keeper that this purchase made in disguise
was not for private and secret consumption on
the part of the apostle of clear water. And his
reply to the arguments and chat literally ex-
pended on him when he relates his story is rather
telling one, What adulteration is possible in
bottled beer that comes direct from the manufac-
turers."
The Government received by the last mail
steamer six Wardian cases containing Young trees
Of the Mangosteen and the DURAN. These were

been stolen by the way-probably at San Francisco.

signed to our Government have been subjected to
Treatment en route. A couple Of months ago
$50 choice orange trees were sent here by the Ha-
consul in Japan, and 80 of these were alb

Messrs. Wilder & Co. on the Esplanade opposite
he Likelike's berth is approaching completion.
The stone work of the walls is nearly finished,
most of the rafters for the roof are already in po-
ition, and the doors are hung. The place should I
,e ready for occupation early in next month 1t ,
$ to have a %rat-proof cement floor laid with a :
light slope, so that when occasion offers it can be s
'eadily washed. The building is to be divided !
nto five distinct strores by batten partitions {
If these, two will be required for the business of j
Mr.. Wilders steamers. The others will be open '
or letting, and will, no doubt, be sought after, [
10Th on account of the handiness of position, and I
he character of the building. The design of the ]

THE case Of Makakane VS.. W. E. II. Deverell, 0
,uardian-of Mary Hoeha, occupied the court dur y
ng the greater part of Tuesday. The first wit 4
