Yesterday morning at FIVE minutes
past three o'clock large meteor passed
over the central portion Of Nuuanu Val
ley. The meteor, as it as supposed to
be, was not seen by any person as far as
we know, but it wakened up several
persons along the route it travelled, who
can testifyto the unearthly, weird noise
it made in passing.

Mr.. B. F. Dillingham; has laid on
our table a neatly printed memorandum
relating to the Honolulu, Kahuku and
Kawailoa ranches situated in the Island
Of Oahu. The circular, after setting
forth the advantages of the three
ranches, gives succinct plan and basis
for forming a company to purchase
them. Valuable statistics make up an
interesting portion Of the prospectus.
Postmaster-G General Whitney informs
us that arrangements have been made
with Wells, Fargo & Co.'S Express so
that in the near future they will be al
lowed to print the Express Co.'S stamp
on official Hawaiian envelopes of differ
ent denominations. This is a good
move and will give people chance to
send their letters throughout the Pacific
Coast by express, if they prefer that
way to the regular mail.
A report comes from Maui that the
Andrews ranch above Makawao, in
Makawao district, will be sold out
under foreclosure of mortgage held
by parties here. 1t is also reported
that there has been continued misman-
agement of the ranch and that some
thirty men have left without getting
the money due them. The amounts due
these men are stated to range from
$I5o to $500. Considerable difficulty
is expected in settling up the business
of the concern.
Yesterday, Mr. Miles, the, horse
breaker, and McGinnis had a little
circus of their own at Captain Cluney's
stable. They were engaged in breaking
a horse to shafts. The horse would
not 60 and Mr.. Miles got on his back
to show the horse a trick, while Mr..
McGinnis remained in the brake.
In place Of learning Mr.. Miles trick,
the horse Immediately ran away and
was not brought up until the flats at
the foot Of Queen street were reached.
Mr.. McGinnis was thrown out of the
brake into lot of rubbish but was not
hurt.

succeed if started on too grand a scale.
Last Saturday evening about seven

dent occurred at the corner of Fort
and Beretania streets, which will most
probably leave an aged woman
cripple for the remainder of her life.
The accident happened to Mrs Maria
Kamakahonu, who is past sixty five

the streets above mentioned. The old
lady had started to 60 from her back
verandah into the yard when she mis-
sed her footing and fell heavily to the
ground, breaking her thigh at the hip
socket. Medical attendance was i'm
mediately procured and she was made
as comfortable as could be under the
circumstances. Being large woman,
who weighs over 400 pounds, the doc
tors have had more or less trouble
handling her and the pain she has suf-
fered has been excrutiating While
the condition of the old lady is improv-
