KAUAI NOTES.

Interesting Happenings on the Garden
IsIand-PersonaIs and other Mat
tiers.
DIR. Campbell has returned from Nil
hau, where, we are sorry to say, his
ceaseless attentions to master Gay, were
unsuccessful. We are glad he has re-
turned, for there has been considerable
illness around. DIR. Jones of Lihue, and
DIR. Hugus of Kealia, have both been
called to Kekaha during DR.. Campbells
absence.
Mr.. Francis Gay came back from
Honolulu this week, accompanied by
Messrs. Baldwin and Walsh. The latter
gentlemen have drawn up plans for the
new mill which is to be erected at Ma
kawei They expect to have an i'm
mense water supply for the mill. The
water is to be brought from the noun
tains in pipes for distance of from six
to twelve miles. AS the pipes will have
diameter of three feet, the pressure of
the water, with a fall OF four or five hun
dred feet, will be enormous.
Mr.. Emerson visited Lihue this week
to conduct the semi-annual convention
of Hawaiian pastors. The meeting was
held in Lihue for the first time in ten
years. There was large attendance
and much satisfactory work has been re-
ported.
The quarterly examinations of Sunday
Schools took place a week ago. The
native children repeated the texts per-
fectly, and answered all the questions
with much clearness. Similar examin-
atoms took place in the various Sabbath
Schools on the Island, and the interest
shown by parents and children is very
great. In many of the schools prizes
were given for regular attendance, per-
feet lessons, etc.
Dame rumOr says that Miss Emily
Kealoha, the assistant teacher in the
Kappa school, is soon to be married.
Miss Kealoha is the daughter of the pas
tor of the Kappa church, and has been
quite successful as teacher.
Miss Mary Fredenberg of Hanalei, was
married On Sunday, September Doth, to
Mr.. John Roadway, book-keeper for the
very i'll with typhoid fever, and her
mother is taking care of her, assisted by
Miss Lizzie Fredenberg of Lihue. Mrs.
Railway is thought to be improving and
out of danger.
Kauai, from Kekaha to Hanalei will
send its representatives to the Glade
ball. Many guests were invited from
this Island, and those who have been
a lo RI aocant tho invitations oro onf;o;
patlng much pleasure. Most of these
guests will leave here on Saturday for
Honolulu.
A serious accident, that might have
proved fatal, occurred near Hanamaulu
on Tuesday. A native boy about IS
years of age, steady reliable lad,
was driving large dray. In attempt
ing to put the brake against the wheels,
at the beginning of a steep hill, it broke,
and the heavy wagon being unrestrained
started down the hill at a dangerous
pace. The boy becoming frightened,
jumped from the high seat of the wagon,
and fell with so much force on the top OF
his head, that he became unconscious.
The doctor was Immediately summoned,
and the boy made as comfortable as
possible. 1t is reported that he will re-
cover.
Planting is still continued, although
we are almost through. The weather
has been propitious, and frequent show
ers have fallen on the young cane. The
roads, barring a few places, are in fine
condition.
Nineteen Portuguese families left here
about week ago, six of whom have set
tied in Lihue, while the other thirteen
have gone to Honolulu, some to remain
there, and some to leave the country.
