BETHEL street was cleaned by the

leaving the mounds of dirt standing
until they are scattered again is still
pursued.
A VERY commcndable project is
announced in an advertisement, that
of making up box of Christmas
gifts for the afflicted denizens of the
Molokai Leper Settlement. 1t will
doubtless receive response credit
able to the proverbial Christian
charity of the community.

MEssRs. Z. o. Hall & Son are out
on time with their calendar for 1886.
The card on which the separate
months are mounted contains a
calendar of the last six months of
this year, the whole of next, and
the first half of 1887. Adjoining the
usual gilt clasp is silver medal,
that bears the Hawaiian coat of
arms encircled with the national
motto. This firms calendars have
always been in great favor for prac-
teal use, and the one just issued is
the best yet.
IT has been ascertained from re-
liable source that some of the sheep
brought to market and sold are from
Kapalama, where they have fed on
the same ground on which horses
with CHAMBERS roamed and were
afterwards shot. If the sheep ate
the grass where the putrid flesh of
horses infected with CHAMBERS lay,
it is to be feared there is danger of
the disease being transmitted to the
mutton, thence to the eaters of it.
Since the publication of the fact that
certain hogs fed on horses that died
from CHAMBERS, some people, though
hitherto fond of pork, have given
up hogs flesh entirely. If they have
also to eschew mutton, with the poor
vegetable supply of our market,
there is nothing left but diet of
fish and poi, alternated with cracked
wheat, oatmeal and rice. Not so
bad living, after all.
MIR. w. S. Hanks, agent for
Wells, Fargo & Co.'s Express, is
the latest victim of the predatory
element for some time past running
riot with other peoples property.
His house is on Beretania street,
near Alapai, and the kitchen and
pantry are situated at the end of a
wing extending back from the main
building. During last night the
premises were invaded and a
variety of household provisions and
groceries, estimated altogether to
be worth twenty-five dollars, was
carried off. Entry was effected,
apparently, by q sliding door in the
side of the kitchen, but the end
door of the apartment was also
found open this morning. Mr..
Hanks was kept awake until an
early hour this morning, by neu.
ralgic trouble, and believes he would
have heard the robbers had they
come before he fell asleep. There.
fore he thinks the robbery was done
shortly before dawn. Fortunately
the thieves overlooked the silver
which was left, contrary to practice
in the culinary apartments.
