On Nuuanu street; west side, nearly opposite Chaplain street, stands the outer wall of an old stone building, apparently built m good many years ago. Some of the stones near the middle of the wall have been dislodged and the cen tre bulges out over the side-walk 1 ia a manner that indicates a fall sooner or later, and should operate as A caution to pedestrians to " pass over on the other side." Schooner Ashore. By the Fairy Queen from Hanalei, on Sunday, we learn that the ' schooner Kitty Cartwrighl dragged her anchors on Thursday last in a heavy swell, while lying at Moloaa, and went on shore high and dry where she lay beyond the reach of ordinary breakers. She belongs to Messrs. J. I. Dowsett & Co., who have dispatched a carpenter with materials to repair and get her afloat. Almost a Fibe. Last Monday evening at a little after 7 , o'clock, fire was discovered in the roof of a small native house at Leleo. Some members of the Government Band were in the neighborhood, prac ticing, and the fire was promptly, extinguished by them before any material damage was done, and. without giving the alarm in town. One of the bandsmen, however, sustained some severe bruises, and a bad cut over the eye by falling into a well that was uncovered. Raixs on the other Islands. By recent arriv als from East Maul, we learn that the winter rains have been copious and continuous, and as a conse quence agricultural affaire are promising. On Kauai however, since the last heavy rains and freshets, but moderate showers have fallen. Hawaii has also had her share of moisture, and the driest parts of the island have been pretty well soaked. Good crops may be looked for all over the group, after the fer tilising droppings from the richly laden clouds of the winter. And by present appearances, there's a few, more left of the same sort. How about that CometT Is a question that has been asked of us bo often and so seriously of late, that we have begun to wish that we had never heard of the suppositiously long-tailed vagrant of the skies. We really had no idea, when we inserted the ingeniously concocted and plausibly worded story of a correspondent " all about a comet," that one per son in a hundred would be found who would not at once set it down as a clever attempt at a hoax. But it seems that very many took it in earnest, in spite of our having introduced the article by speaking of Comets as " airy nothings." We hope llr&t no one was seriously alarmed. lings." We hopelil&t ; J. The schooner Fairv The Saginaw's Gio. The schooner Fairv Queen. which arrived from Hanalei on Sunday morning, brought up the Saginaw' boat, which under the management of the lamented Talbot and his four comrades, performed the perilous voyage of eleven hundred miles from Ocen Island. They reached land after enduring the privations and hardships of over a month at sea at a stormy season, only to per ish in the breakers, one only surviving. The bat tered craft, as she lay on jlie wharf, was aa object of melancholy interest, and attracted the attention of crowds. She was a staunch boat originally, and had been raised upon, decked over and strengthened at the island before starting on ber venturesome voyage. There were four . hatchways in the deck, for the accommodation of the crew. An old salt, after examining her carefully, observed that he would feel safe in that boat at sea ia any weather. Insectitkrotjs Birds. From time to time, inany species of birds have been imported and set free in these islands, with a view o the destruction of in sects that injure crops. These importations have Dot always proved to haye been advantageous, as in the case of the China crow for instance, who has turned out to be a most incorrigible thief and re morseless destroyer of the young of other birds, so that he is now shot on sight. ' And from Walmea, Kauai, comes to us a report that the California linnets, which have multiplied very rapidly since their introduction a few years ago, are making great havoc in the rice fields. Coming in flocks and alighting on the stalks of the grain, they break down and destroy vastly more than they eat.

Letter frer Wailaka. 2b the tt'dotofthe Pacific Commercial Advertiser: Can you, or some of your correspondents solve a difficulty or two. , , . Our flourishing village of Wailuka needs side walks. Applications of sand, molasses, &c, have been made to' the roads, and in ordinary weather they do very welL But, thia winter, notwithstanding all that has been done, the streets are well nigh im passable to pedestrians. . There is . no avoiding deep. adhesive mud.- ' - ' . . f ; . : - '' ' . Now, to better our condition I have no doubt we would build aide-walks, but for two reasons. 1st. The owners of lots on the streets have crowded their fences into the streets and will them there, though their deeds leave ample space for the road. But they have put their fences quite beyond their boundary lines at the expense of the public. . The streets were laid out with certain bounds and the kuleanaa were surveved tn " thmu hnnn. but the fences of the lots were crowded intn thl street, as I said above at least, many of them were so to the detriment of the road leaving it too narrow 'n T S -! J. a mm u naoru siae-waias. - niany of the lota have since been sold and resold, the purchasers supposing they were getting more than thwr deeds eave them. And many have had their lota resurveved not nri the, original bounds, but on the fences found atandino-. lo increase the difficult v. the have made use of the road-ditch to convey water to their lots, so that there is ?reat dtnm r tn h!1a and no room for side-walks. The. second difficulty t6keenhnrM tth tr.?- riders -from the side-walks.' s.frir tr This may be easy enough in Honolulu with a city government, but bow should it be managed where there is no such government, and every man claims the right to make his horse go where he can make him go. The difficulty is a .real one, for if a . semi barbarian has one propensity more developed than another, it is to obstruct roads for, or according to own convenience, iiorsea are tied there, carta Ate left there, and all the rubbish of one's private resi dence is sure te be thrown there. The state of the roads in a country is said to be a sure criterion of the state ofts eivUixatiou. :: v s y Now, then please tell as how we can secure side. walks, and we and possib'y others, will feel W liged. Tours, Mcddt Boots. If, as our correspondent asserts, the owners of lots bordering on the streets have placed their fences beyond their boundary lines, and encroached on the public thoroughfarca that were laid out by authority, it ib the duty of the Road Super visor to at once remove euch fences, and if the owners thereof consider themselves aggrieved, they can have their remedy at law. Or, on tho other band, they may be sued for obstructing the highway, under Section 2, subdivision 4, Chapter 36 of tho Revised renal Code. The resurveyfl and the re-selling of tho lots does not alter tho case at all. The using' of the road for the pur poses of a water ditch is also a matter which comes properly under the purview of the Road Supervisor, in his character of a subordinate to the Minister of the Interior. The 6econd cause of complaint mentioned by our valued correspondent is, 'that horses are tied on the sidewalks, carts left there, andill the rubbish, of private houses thrown there. The ion of the law above referred to declares to be a common nuisance, " loo leaving carts or oiner vehicles standing in the highway an unreasonable time." Tying horses or other animals in the public streets, whereby travel is obstructed, is not a reasonable-use of a high way, and therefore is a common nuisance, and can bo complained of aa such to the police, by any person cognizant of the 6aine. . Our correspondent is mistaken in assuming, as be appears to do, that we have a city government in Honolulu.' It is a pity 'that we have not, for with a municipal government there might be lees cause of complaint about .the .condition of our own etreeta and roads in rainy times. Ed. P. C. A.

Nkw Yoek, Dec 28 A correspondent under date of Orleans, Dec. 18th, reports an interview with Bishop Dopanloup, in which be said the army or tlie Loire is only a collection tf men among whom the greatest demeratiiation is created by contact with the Prussians, and be denied that de Fuhvliiits is in the interest of the Duke of Nemours. Dupanloup also said : Peace should te made, but France seemed jutt now to bo in a situation without an issue. If Par gave up it would end the matter, but Trochu is not free in the capital. Bismarek told Thiers be was go ing to bombard Paris. Ouee in possession, the Prussians would have a permanent influence over France. Gambetta is convisted by his procUnuatu.n on Paladines of being a liar of the first order. The recapture of Orleans passed un.ferour own eyes, aud we know that instead of 800,000 mei and oOO guns, as Gambetta says, Paladines, to eur positive knowl edge, had only 60,000 men iu the immediate front of Frederick Charles.
