Hawaii is fast taking rank among civitized nations. Though yet in her teens, she gives promise of what may be expected of more matura years. At half-past twelve o'clock A. M. on the 27th of No- vember, Honoluluans were startied by aloud report, soon followed by a shaking, which caused some little alarm. 1 was certainly startled for a time, until I sifted it through my head that it was a smart effort ot mother nature to shake herscif. In some parts of the town it ‘was severe enough to make frame buildings creak and groan, while crockery rattled briskly. Many different theories have been advanced as to the causes which pro- duce earthquakes; but, having a volcano, we naturally lny our periodical ague fits at its door. Last reports from the volcano are to the effect that it is very active, many new lakes of lava baving lately beem formed. A murder was committed in Hawaii on the 14th of November, the victim being aa Englishman by the name of Henry Clark. Mr. C. kept a country store about fifteen miles from Kealakenkaa and had accumulated gome little money. Two natives have beer arrested, and a confession from one of them tends to fasten the guilt upon them. They had quite a struggle with Clark and an old man who lived with him, but succeedea tm atua- ning Clark and driving the old man away, when they piled dry goods on (.’s prostrate body and set fire to thera.
