Young. who was accidentally Filled in Hamakua
some time ago. The Lidgate Company and the
Honolulu Iron Works each contributed SlOO, and
the mechanics and labors of these companies gave

500. Such generosity Is worthy the highest COM
mendation.
UPWARDS of five hundred Chinaman were landed

the quarantine ground. The agents of the steamer
hold themselves responsible for all expenses incur
red, and there will be no expense to the Govern

discover any disease amongst the immigrants, but
the Board of Health deem it judicious to hold the
immigrants in quarantine for a few days.
IL the case of Rex VS.. KOm Kwei, charged with
importing opium into this Kingdom, and for which
offence the defendant had already been sentenced
to six months imprisonment and a fine Of $500,
Mr.. Hartwell argued that the Supreme Court, on
appeal, has power to modify the sentence of the
lower Court if it thinks proper to dosO. An appeal
supersedes the judgment appealed from, so that
the case is before this Court (the Supreme Court
de moro, and 1t must pronounce a Judgment of its
own, not as i'll the case of Exceptions. the over
ruling of which leaves the Judgment of the lower
Court as it was.

ON Wednesday night some person attempted to
rob the money drawer of the cashiers desk in
Castle & Cookies store. An entrance was effected
to the cellar of the store through a grating in the
rear, and the burglar then went to work on the
drawer with a pair of blacksmith's pincers. The
woodwork around the lock was bruised and Clipped
off, but though the lock was forced out of place,
the drawer was not opened, and the small amount
of money left over there during the night remained
intact. The would-be thief then attempted the
cash drawer in another part of the store, but, after
cutting away a small portion of the front, gave the
Job MP. The whole attempt showed that an mex
perienced hand had been at work, and the chances
are that the perpetrator VIII be arrested very
shortly.

WE briefly noted Wednesday the receipt by the
bark G. r. Bishop. from Bremen, of a bull and
two cows imported by Judge McCully for the
Pawaa Dairy. The interest which the whole
country has in the introduction of first class
breeding animals induces us to give some par
ticulars which we have since learned. These
as Hnlstein cattle,-sometimes also called
Tristan. They are bred in the Low
countries of Germany and Holland, and are the
breed which has made Holland famous. and we
may say rich, by the productions of beef. butter,
and cheese. 1t ls claimed for them that they
combine milk, cheese, butter and beef more sue
cessiully than any other breed The milking
record of some of these animals is higher than
that claimed for any other family, going as high
as l6, 900 to Is 1000 lbs. IN one year-a
pound being a little less than a pint. These
animals arrived in excellent condition after
a voyage of five months. an encouraging circum-
stance, as showing in another instance that we
may draw for good stock on Europe and the
burg by Mr.. j. c.. Phuger, with the aid of some
agricultural friends. as representing the best
strains Of the breed. One nf them has taken
three prizes in exhibitions. and all Of them are
entered in the Oldenburg HeTdbook, as appears
by official certificates. They are The first Hol-
stems imported into the kingdom. We have,
within the last four years, had imported thor
Ous hbred Jerseys, thoroughbred ShOrt-hOrns,
thoroughbred Herefords, and thoroughbred An
gus. or Scotch-polled cattle. The importation
that we are now noting, will. to say the least,
contribute another strain of good stock. There
is no reason why the Islands should not come to
produce cattle which will compare in excellence
with any in the world, and it Is an object worthy
the attention and emulation of tile enlightened
and enterprising importers and breeders of the
kingdom. {
