SATURDAY. MARCH 19.
NOTES OF THE WEEK.
- The unusually large number of strangers in
town Of late, has been frequently remarked. Most
Of them have been attracted hither from San Fran
cisco by packets, which just now have put the price
Of passage 60 low that il is about as cheap to travel
as 20 live on shore. These low fares will continue to
attract travellers during the summer, many of whom
will wish to visit all the islands of the group during
their stay. Those having charge of the repairs on
the RTIauea, cannot do the travelling public q great
er service than to hasten her repairs, so that she may
resume her route as q passenger boat. We really

should provide accommodations for them. not only
while in town, but for travelling from island to is
land. -
