A BOLD BURGLARY.
The General Post Office Robbed Of $4,000.

On the early morning OF the 3rd inst, informa
ton was received at the Police Station that rob-
berry had been committed at the General Post
Office, Mr.. l. b. Peterson the Assistant Post
master General being the one to forward the news
from the burgiarized premises. No white officer
being able to be dispatched, Turnkey Akau, whose
duties are entirely within the Police Station, left
his post and hastsned to the spot but was enabled
to render but little assistance excepting TO act
der the instructions of MIR. Peterson. Later on
information was forwarded to the Minister of the
Interior and soon afterwards the Marshal and the
Attorney General were notified and all the officials
arrived in quick time at the premises. The cir
cumstances, as related by Mr.. Peterson, leading
up TO the time OF the discovery were that, he

thing was alright in the Office when he left. At

tered the building. Going TO his desk he noticed
the safe door open and money scattered on the
floor. Going into the private Offices TO reach the

EDITOR GAZETTE Il have been asked to publish
some information about the colonization scheme,
and the lands therein embraced, to which / made
a flying visit during the last week. OF course
have neither time nor inclination to make here
lengthy report on the matter, nor can | present
adequate thanks for the courtesies which have
been extended to our party, wherever we have
been, and specially to Messrs. Dickson of Waiaua
Lame at kahuku, Elder iFarr at Laia, .C.Brown
at Honolulu. But will resume my impression
in a few points.
LIST. l am now certain that Mr.. Dillingham's
scheme Is perfectly feasible and that the advan
tages which he suggested would come TO the
country through this scheme, are far below the
real truth. The capabilities of this country for
settlement and immigration have not yet began
to be realized and the very people living in Homo
lulu, within arms reach of those fertile lands now
lying waste, ignore their real value and cannot be-
gin TO realize it, until they do what i have done,
go and see for themselves.
md. The population which can be settled on
the lands now unutilized between Honolulu and
the northern point of Oahu, must be estimated by
tens Of thousands and not by hundreds, the only
thing necessary beng the inauguration of Ra-
fioinf sgstela 81 Irrig,utioH, 10 bring ON those

lowed to run to waste in the ocean Il, ali those
which can be procured by storing up the abundant
though Intermittent rains with which the country
is favored; c, also using the copious underground
supply which is so general and so often of easy
access.
Srd This system of irrigation which is to be
based on the wonderfuiworks of similar nature &C
complished in India by the natives and in Spain
by the Moors, ought to be begun at once by start
ing the whole force of our thorough and effective
Survey Department to the studying of all the wa

the levellands connected with them.

Death of Row. F. A. B.ckwith.

EDrroR GAZETTE by the last mail, news was
received of the death of Rev. Frank Armstrong
Beckvith, at the home of his father, DR.. L. u
Beckwith, in San francisco. He was born in Ha
wall in 1854. and was educated at Yale Collegs
Union Theological Seminary, for a short time was
a student ut the University OF Berlin. While nj
Berlin, he suffered from severe attnck of pleurisy
which resulted in permanent lung trouble. he
sought health in Italy, Santa Barbara, California
and at l.ahainaluna, but all efforts were vain anc
he snccumbed to the insidious disease on the Eth
of December last.
Mr.. Beckwith WAS man, who early conquered
the frivolous loncings to which young men arr
subject, and devoted his rare mind and pure life
to the good of his fellows.
His love for metaphysics was passion and hi
believed that the time was not far distant wher
science would no longer antaconize, but support
the theology OF the Bible.
Association with Frank Beckwith WAS q constant
stilnulant to thrive after the highest and best o.
ideals.
His loss is great and his life furnishes N
example worthy of the closest imitation. II.
