'N' n ItAAsHIONDLNls
Last Wednesday our little community was thrown
INTO a state OF great excitement and overwhelming
sorrow by one " the saddest tragedies ever known
70 have occurred here; the sudden death Of Mr..
Merchant, one Of the most promising vouno men
pleasant circle. He, with his widowed mother.
and a small party Of attached friends had gone 10
the sea for a bath, and in his marked, bright and
happy manner started off for a last dash into
the water. The sea was unusually strong and the
very swift undertow carried him TO his death. AMI
before anyone knew that he was even in danger or
help be procured to rescue him. he was bevond ali
human aid. His body was recovered immedia teIv
and for several hours loving hands and praverfni
hearts labored hard TO restore life, and when at last
they were obliged to relinquish all hope. he was
sorrowfulIy borne to his desolate home. All that
love could do was done, and wreaths, crowns and
8arlands on the flowers he loved, lined his coffin
ana made ms surroundings rs beautiful as possible
AFTER a touching service by Rev. Jas. Alexander.
ms sorrowtul and loving companions carried him
TO ms fern-llned home on the hill and laid him To
rest. Mr.. Merchant has been here for over two
years and has endeared himself not only 10 his
CHOSEN friends and companions, but to all who had
the good fortune TO know him. His manner was
unvarylngly genial and bright, 10 which he added
a disposition unusually kind and thoughtful. His
friends Will long remember his many acts of kind
ness and attention. The bright spot left vacant INV
his death can never be filed. His voice will n.
missed in the homes he frequented az a loved ana
chosen friend as well as in the social circle and
will the desolation of his loss be felt
Ills mother is still among us and while our hearts
are hlled with sympathy for her, those who were
the loving friends Of her only son offer this sIigbt
tribute Of their affection. 20

Koh ia Notes.

Mr.. Rozencrantz is in town regulating our
pianos, and we will soon all be in harmony.
Mr.. Thurman was thrown from his horse n
lew days since, and injured his arm severely.
lie suffered a good deal from it, but DIR. Thomp-
son, who attended him, anticipates no per-
manent trouble.
Wilder is said to be selling his late arrival of
goods dirt cheap. and will consequently have n
rush. 1t is too bad he is not more convenient
to the public, as all of us cannot spare the time
necessary for n trip 10 Mahukona.
Free whiskey makes a smile pass over the
features OF orr citizens with the exception of
those that derive a benefit from selling contrary
to law. Now if the license viii be given TO.
those only that are responsible, we think there,
VIII be less drunkenness than before.
The Legislature is at an end, and we all feeT
better, but upon looking over it's proceedings il
has been we think considerably superior to any
OF the past Few years, and much good may
come of the literal appropriations Il handled
with care.
