Salt from Puuloa.

From old times, Hawaiians knew how to make salt. It was used to season food and to trade with, and yet the salt from Hawaii was not very good. Beef or pork salted with this salt was not so good. If it was left for a while, it would rot. Now however, the salt made at Puuloa is very good; the bitter contents are removed, and they have a mill that grinds it like flour, and like salt from foreign lands. Therefore, the salt from Puuloa is under great demand; it is exported and the land profits.

The first of this month [December] was a “Kiulaia” [Holiday] for the Portuguese, that being the day commemorating the recognition of their independence from Spain. From 9 o’clock in the morning, a great mass was held in the Catholic church Malieokamalu.[Maliaokamalu / Our Lady of Peace].

[Kiulaia seems to be interchangeable with Kulaia, but for some reason, Kiulaia is often found in quotes as seen in this article.]

Something New.

Kauka Makaainana (Dr. Hillebrand) has five FROGS [RANA] from California and he has put them in his taro patch. They are doing fine. They make strange noises. Their nature is that they are animals that have two lives. They eat small bugs: flies, grasshoppers, and other things like that. Therefore they are good. O People of Honolulu, do not harm these new things if you see them, because they are valuable.

Cheng Yat Kai was injured by Chang Jan Sing hitting him in the head with a hammer.
