ALARMS OF Fm4-On Monday noon there was an
alarm Of fire which proceeded from q pitch-kettle on
the wharf. We have seldom seen SO many people
gathered in one spot in Honolulu as were congregated
around the kettle on this occasion in the short space
of five minutes Another alarm occurred at half
past one on Tuesday morning. which proceeded from
a house in Adams yard on Hotel street, occupied by
Mr.. Ramsay. The FIRE is supposed to have caught
from a lamp. and had. when discovered by the watch
at the government house, consumed a part of a table
and the window sill. A few buckets of water extin-
guished it. 1t was a narrow escape, as the trade
wind was blowing quite fresh at the time, and the
neighborhood is comparatively crowded with houses
Of combustible materials.
THE BONDS OF SocIErY.-The following passage
which occurs in /" Zenobia,'' is full of truth. The
cause of many of the little disturbances which arise
in q small community, too often exists in the want ola
full knowledge of each other. "Do members of this
great human family ever meet each other in social
converse, and freely open their hearts, without q new
and better strength being given to the bonds which
hold in their embrace the peace and happiness of so
ciety! To love each other, we chiefly need but to
know each other. Ignorance begets suspicion, suspi-
cion dislike or hatred, and SO we live as strangers
and enemies, when knowledge would have led to in
timacy and friendship
SINGULAR SroNE.-On the road to Waislae, am
about half a Iaile this side of the telegraph statiK
there is a very singular stone lying near the lain
road 1t possesses a sonorous property, and when
struck with a stone gives a ringing sound IbHa large
brass kettle or sugar boiler. And what iJ6ore sin
gular, the sounds emitted on each side q very differ
et from the others. The stone is 81 seven feet in
diameter and two feet thick. nearly xnA living ON

EcoNoMY.-Economy is one of the three
sisters of whom the other and less reputable
two ore Ayarice and Prodi gality. She alone
keeps the safe and straight path, while Ava
rice sneers at her as proflse, and ProIigality
scorns her as penu-ious. 70 the poor she
is Indispensable; to those of moderate means
she is found the representative of wisdom !;
aud although some moralist has sail, that al
the hearth of the opulent Economy takes the
form of a vice, she is perhaps as great a
virtue there as she is elsewhere. Her very
name signifies the law or rule of house
and her presence is as much required in the
palace as in the cottage. The prince who
despises her and outruns his means is at once
slave and knave. The honest man
who lives within lis Income, and owes no
man anything, is your only true king. Econ
omyis an excellent virtue, no doubt but like
all other virtues, it must be applied with pru-
dence, or it will turn into folly or vice
In the olden time there were sumptuary laws
which while they attached penalty to ex-
travagance, set fine on the man who let a

does not appear right to thus take the life OF an
individual, yet the rapid increase of crime de-
mands the rigid enforcement of the most severe
penalties. lis even more important, however,
that we should, by every possible means, foster
and encourage those institutions which are cal
culated to cultivate correct sentiments in the
minds of the youth of our countrys The peace
of society depends more upon the proper cult
walton and training of its youth, than upon sall
the devices for the punishment of crime
Wards chronological development indicates,
most clearly, that it would have been an easy
matter for him to have bcen made good and
useful citizen had he received proper impress
sions in his youthful days. How little do some
parents appear 10 appreciate the tarrible respon-
siblity resting upon them, and how Willingly
do some Of them. sci an example which, follow
ed by their children In early years, is almost
certain 10 lead 10 crime and disgrace. Commu-
nifty also has much TO do in this matey, for its
individual members are influenced by the pre-
vailing public sentiment and general conduct.

Oil from Cotton Seed.

There is an establishment in the city OF
New Orleans for the manufacture of oil from
the cotton seed. This seed, which has here
tofore added nothing to the value ofSouthern
production, is now shown TO be but little in
ferior in intrinsic worth to the silky fibre in
which it is enclosed This establishment has
been in operation nearly six months and is
capable Of producing, i. is said. five hundred
barrels of oil per day, from the dry seed
The seed is, in the first place, deprived Of its
hull by machinery then exposed to consid-
cradle heat, when the oil is pressed out. 1t is
then clarified by new chemical process,
when it becomes fit for every purpose for
which olive, lard or sperm are adapted. It
is used on the table ai olive oil, itburus in the
lamps as sperm oil, it is used on machinery
as lubricator, and answers every other pur-
pose for which other oils are used. The en-.
gine which drives the machinery is fed with
the hulls which have been stripped from the
seed, and it is said, no wood has been used
since the machinery was first set in motion,
but on the contrary the hulls accumulate, and
some have been shipped north to be worked
into book binders boards.
If this account be true, and itcomes to us
in shape which leaves but little room for
doubt, then indeed have the cotton growing
States an element of wealth which will add
materially to their yearly resources, and rank
as an important item in the products of our
country. The ease with which this oil may
be manufactured, the abundant supply o.
material heretofore considered worthless, and
its adaptation to the many purposes for which
other and expensive oils are required, vii
place this among the mos! important enter
prises of !he day.

under the Fugitive Slave Law" was mobbcd and
driven out of the town OF Covngton few days
since. MIR. and Mrs. JofFe had been invited to

of Covington. Mrs. J. went over in the morning,
and between l2 aud Mr.. J. crossed the river and
proceeded up the street leading to the residence OF
Mr. Sage. lie was roughly acosted by man
named Gaines. who with profane language and n
free use of epthcts accused him OF coming over to
"steal our niggers." Mr.. JolliIe mildly assured
him that such was not his intention but Games
growing excited thrust his fist in bis face and
against his breast. using violent and insulting
language in &c meantime, which soon had the Of
feet Of collecting crowd, which followed after
them, TO escape which he took refuge in store.
Gaines addressed the crowd, declaring that Jol-
life was a "nigger thief" and used language cal
euatcd 70 further excite thocrowd which continued
TO collect around him. Mr.. JolIe, finding it
would be impossible for him to proceed any furth-

crowd continued to grow excited, until Gaines
struck Mr.. Jolliffe over the shoulders with whip.
He was now arrested by the Marshal. The crowd
continued TO follow until they reached the ferry,
and no further violence was committed.
Gaines is reckless and unprinciplcd character,
