Editor P. c. A: 1t will interest
some of the readers of this paper. the
scattered few and far between who
take an interest in the educational in
stitutions of this land and are not too
greatly absorbed in stock operations
to notice aught else: and those who
labor under the impression that Ko-
hala is asleep, because no Board of
Trade has been established here, no
infant Stock Exchange has piped up

little hamlet last night an event that
is expected with annual regularity.

the Kohala Seminary near the close of
the term, for the benefit of the school.

praise one more than apcther would
be to tread on dangero"c ground. Who
so needless as to awaken unQuenchable
jealousies in tender hearts where all
should be lovely and serene forever
more? Who so rash, or so base, as to
pen ill-judged, or manifestly partisan
discrimination that rightly invites the
jeering vaccinations of the self-in-
formed spectator or participator? We
beg to refrain. All was we'll done and
