Last Wednesday evening about eight
O'Clock while three gentlemen were GO
ing along Punchbowl street on their
way to the steamer Knau, one of them
observed brilliant star about twice the
size of the planet Venus, located in the
southwestern sky at an elevation of
about ten degrees. AS the party
watched it they observed that it changed
from a dull red to brilliant blue
color and that it was slowly descending
towards the horizon. 1t remained in
sight about six minutes, as near as the
party could judge, and finally dis
appeared behind mass of dark clouds
about one degree above the ocean.
They say: that eggs are getting
dearer every day; that Kensington
painting is all the rage that the first
ingredient in conversation is truth, the
next good sense, the third good humor
and the fourth wit that the wander
ing Ministries in Honolulu are getting
to be nuisance that in three days
the moon will be full that next Fri
day evening there will be carnival
masquerade and May pole dance at
the Yosemite Skating Rink that to
enjoy salt water bath at home one
should first to make c., and then
have dash under it; and that happy is
the man who gets his dumps without
laboring.
Yesterday morning at quarter past
ten o'clock as Road Supervisor Hart
and Thomas Lucas were turning into
Merchant street at the corner of Fort,
riding in Mr.. Harris buggy, one of the
hind wheels dished and the buggy sud-
denly dropped to the ground. The
horse started to run when Billy Moore
ran into the middle of the street and
caught him by the bit. Neither of
the gentlemen were thrown out by the
fall. The horse was unhitched and
three policemen carried the buggy to
one side of the street until it was re-
moved. The buggy was the same one
that was ran away with by Mr.. Harris
horse the day before yesterday; and the
wheel which dished yesterday had
most probably been strained before.
Mr.. Hart will please accept our sincere
thanks for conveniently bringing this
item to our very door; the day before he
gave us considerable trouble by having
his runaway in distant portion Of
the city.
