The French brig Ta,ouyu which was lying in the
harbor during the past week filled with watsr has
been successfully relieved of her aqueous cargo by
the assistance of a Pulsometer pump, which Mr..
Jerry Simonson jr., of H. Hackfed d Co, has
utilized in obtaining the desired result. The pump
used Is of the No. 3 pattern, and the smalness of
the stream thrown, inches, caused many knowing
n ones to doubt that the object desired would be
accomplished but after 81 days of pumping the
TdirrI1r was hOated again, and is now safely
chored in the mud of the cattle wharf.
The two alleys leading into Nuuanu street. be-
tween King aud Hotel streets, were at their worst
on Sunday last after the heavy showers of the
two three previous days. These alleys, where
they cross the sidewalk, are al least foot below
the surface. and all the water and mud seemed TO
be collected there last Sunday evening, as many
can testify, who, by actual experience, fathomed
the depth of these traps while on their way to
from the Bethel. The attention of the Minister
of the Interior the Road Supervisor is called 10
these alleys, and 1t is TO be hoped that load
two of broken stone will be dumped them at
the crossing making the alleys level with the side
walk and thereby preventing unnecessary profan-
ity and perhaps a broken limb.
The minister at Honokaa, Rev. Isaac Good
ell, seems 10 be doing effective work. He has a
Sunday School of thirty, and Sunday cOngrega-
ton of forty-fiye He has had experience as a

which he has formed into choir. Occasional
social gatherings enlivened with glees and in
strumental music, recitatiOns, readings, etc. The
trustees of the HOnokaa Lyceum have ordered a
800 organ from San Francisco. Improvements
in progress in and around the building,

waiians forgotten; MIR. GoOdell talks 10 them twice
month"; some one interpreting for him.
