The WEATHER.-So far in this month the weather
has been charming. The range of the thermometer
at seven in the morning has been from sixty-nine to
seycnty-two degrees at noon from seventy-two to
eighty ut six o'clock in the evening from seventy
one TO seventy-fve degrees. Trade wind showers
have fallen frequently during the day. Last Satur-
day evening and night considerable rain fell, and
again on Tuesday we had slight showers. As yet
however we have had no Kona storm and its accom-
paniment Of dreuching rains. frequently of n weeks
duration. Still it is not too late TO look for one, for
if our memory serves us We have had them in years
past as late as the latter part of April or first Of May.

DR.. ROwell and several other physicians, in San
Francisco, have been engaged recently in making
post mortem examinations of the bodies of patients
who died Of continent smallpox at the peSt-hOuse.
In ONE of them they found that the pustules
which usually appear on the surface had invaded
various internal organs and the enveloping mem
branes. and were distinctly developed there in
stead of being on the outer skin. The brain and
some of its integuments were also found similarly
affected in some of the subjects. 1t is quite COM
mon for pustules To make their appearance on the
fauces. tonsilS. root of the mouth and inside of the
cheeks, and il is not unusual for them to be de-
veloped in other internal organs and membranes
when the producing disorder is of the malignant
continent type. or that described by Seydanham as
the rdTiold nigre or black smallpox a type of
the disease which seems to have given q peculiar
character to the present epidemic.
EXTRAORDINARY PISTOL PRACTCE-Chicago, Dec.
27.-Captain John Travis gave another exhibition
of pistol shooting at his gallery last evening, in
which he eXcelled any Of his previous astonishing
performances in this city, by a series of hazardous
fcats requiring the most cOnsUmmate skill on his
part. and extraordinary daring in that of the gen
tleman who assisted in them. Mr.. John Rover, OF
Texas. held a cap on his head and Travis Erred a
pistol bullet through il from the distance of twelve
PAGES. The feat was repeated twice, the bail GO
ing each time within an inch OF the Uranium of the
venturesomc holder. The same gentleman also
held between his fingers a small lemon and after
wards a business card about an inch and a half
square. and through each Captain Travis put n
bullet. ut the same distance. with one Of the regu-
lar gallery pistols. Few people would care to run
such risks as Mr.. Rover did. and fewer still could
successfully initiate Captain Travis wonderful
skill.

SUDDEN DEATH-Our community were shocked on
Friday morning to learn Of the sudden death of Mr..
James McShane. We learn that he retired on Thurs
day night in the enjoyment Of his usual good state
Of health; that at = quarter TO eleven he rose in
his bed to a sitting position. and made a movement
tostep from the bed, fell over forward and expired in
stautly. Assistance was Immediately called by his
wife, and DIR. Kennedy was summoned, who upon ar
rival found that he could be of no use. An autopsy
Aof the remains was made by Drs. McGrew, lille
brand and Buiium, and the cause of death found 10
be the rupture Of the left ventricle of the heart.
Otherwise the appearance of the heart was healthy
and natural. Mr.. McShane was born in the Isle of
Man and was ~forty-SiN years of age. He has resided
on these islands about nineteen years. Mr.. McShane
was a master carpenter, one of the most competent
workmen in our community. a temperate, industri-
Gus, thoroughly honest man, of whom, all who have
had dealings with him, speak but in praise. Such n
man would be missed in any community, in none
more than this. He leaves a wife and family of
eight children. He had an insurance on his life
effected a few weeks since, for one thousand dollars,
in the Northwestern Company. His funeral was
numerously attended yesterday afternoon.
- The last number of the Government paper la
bored hard to correct supposed errors in our paper.
Would t not be commendable to acknowledge its own
errors, statistical especially. when politely brought
to its notice. -
- \ half-caste youth was fined ten dollars and
costs last week for shooting doves. We imagine that
the fine was more on account of the fact that he was
within the limits of the city.

will be held on Thursday afternoon, 25th inst, at
the residence of Mrs. W. n. Ladd, Nuuanu Valley.

Coon ~RoADs.-The road through the swamp at
IKaaiaea, on the windward side of the Island, is fast
approaching completion. 1t was formerly but nine
feet wide, and was found too narrow to be Of use to
the carts or carriages now coming into more general
use in the outer districts. The road has been Sidened
to twenty-four feet; giving ample room for teams to
pass each other. The roads through the Waikane
and Waiahole swamps will be the next TO receive the
attention Of the Road Supervisors gang, and when
completed, the drive around the island will not be
one Of adventures and accidents. The only remain
ing obstacle of any moment to q pleasant, easy car
riage ride around the island is the Pail road, and on
account of the large expenditure necessary TO over
come the difficulties it will probably not be attempted
for some years, unless the Reciprocity Treaty or some
other of the schemes talked Of should become a matter
Of fact, when we should expect to see many improve
ments on the present order of things. The road down
the Pail once made practicable for wagons, Kaneohe
and the surrounding lands would become valuable
for farming purposes and for country residences for
our merchant princes" They would be to Homo
lulu what Hoboken, Bloomfield and Flushing are to
New York city, and what Jamaica Plains and Water
town are to Boston.

REVERE House CLosED.-On Monday last Mr..
Samuel \. Loler, proprietor Of the Revere House,
made an assignment Of his property to Mr.. John
widdeield for the benefit of his creditors. Mr..
Lollcr has survived the vicissitudes of a hotel keepers
career in this city longer than many Of his prede-
cessors, and We regret that ne has at last been COM
PEELED to succumb, not only on his account, but that
many who have to depend on hotels for their meals
are forced to look up new quarters, and that travellers
will have another cause to find fault with our accom-
modations. We need n ~well-kept hotel, but whether
one will be supported is a question upon which we
have many doubts. In the meantime we can safely
recommend the table at the Sailors Home to such as
need varied and wholesome food.

y BOUNTY JUMPER.-We have been told n story of
the dOings of n Hawaiian which has no equal in our
experience. \ native shipped with a pulu picking
establishment ON Hawaii and received an advance Of
thirty dollars. \ short time after that he turned up
i'll this city, and shipped to work on q sugar plsnta-
ton on Kauai, again receiving an advance of thirty
dollars. Becoming FESTIVE and perhaps short of
funds, he managed again TO reach this city, and
shipped to work on o sugar plantation ON Hawaii,
again receiving thirty dollars advance. Having met
with such success, he was again tempted to return
here, and shipped to work on n plantation on this
island, receiving the same advance. His funds fall
ing low, he left this employ, and shipped on another
on this island for the same advance wages,
and still again escaped and shipped in another dis
trict on this island, having received altogether one
hundred and eighty dollars in advances. He is now

amounts received, however, are comparatively
small. -
STow-AwAYs.-Before proceeding to sea on Thurs
day, the bark Whistler was searched for stow-aways,
the result being the finding of two men who had de-
serted the whaling bark Helen Mar. We can only
give this advise to sailors-keep sober, understand
fully the terms of the contract you make for a voy-
age, and then stick to your contract, however I'M
it may be. OF all things don't attempt
running away, particularly in this port, for it is a
hazardous undertaking, and the usual result is that
you are found, confined in the station-house until
your ship is ready for sea, the cost of rewards for
board AMI lodging ut the station-house
and other expenses being charged to your account
with the owners. 1t won't pay. If you have any
complaints for ill-treatment, 60 to your Consul, and
if they are not of the usual frivolous nature, your

NOTES OF THE WEEK.

SALE or THE KILNUEA-The steamer hiduea has
rpcu purchased from the Honolulu Iron Works
Company > by this Government for the sum of SIX
thousand dollars. Iumors are current that the
Government intend to put extensive repairs upon the
steamer and run her, but we are assured that no plan
has been agreed upon that the Government DO not
wish to fit and run her. preferring to put her into
the hands Of some responsible party or parties to be
managed, giving such parties the sum voted 10y the
Assembly TO assist inter-island steam navigation
between this and windward ports of the group. No
philosophical citizen would desire to see the KIiduea
sold to parties who would perhaps change her into n
sailing vessel, or, worse, break her up. Inter-island
steam communication is a necessity, and since the
withdrawal of this steamer We have often heard the
remark from merchants, 1--WE miss the Rltaued."
While under the management of Messrs. Walker X
Allen, her trips mere made with great regularity
Her days of arrival and departure were notable ones
TO merchants and traders. Our retail merchants
must note the difference in their Mondays receipts,
while wholesale and jobbing Establishments miss the
regular instalment of country orders fo- goods.
Tourists having but 4 limited time in which to do
the islands, find themselves in n dilemma they cannot
attempt the tour of Hawaii, the most desirable of the
group. for fear of being belated. One party recently
visited Maui, having a week or ten days to spare,
and found his absence prolonged over two weeks,
owing TO the want of vessel in which to return. The
regular weekly trip Of the KIiaueG would prevent
all this ANNOYANCE "

~. Soon after the Virginia election General
Canby instituted Investigations il the diff
lercnt counties OF the State where it WA,
complained that the election was not con
Quoted fairly for the purpose OF aSccrtaining
whether fraud had been committed or i'll
timdation used. The work was assigned to
what is known as the district commanders.
and they were furnished with form Oh
questions to be put to parties making COM
plants. The district commanders met al
the c0unty-seatS Of those counties where
the alleged frauds were committed and
heard testimony on both sides, after which
they reported the result to General Candy.
In this way nearly every complaint has been
investigated, and it is understood General
Candy will emb0dy the whole matter in 4
report to the President through the Secre-
tary Of War. This report will probably be
transmitted to Congress for its information
Military officers who have been engaged il
this duty say Canby,s report will show that
the election was one Of the faireSt ever held,
and that there was less fraud and fewer at
tempts at intimidation than is common ut III
most every election in the northern States.
The charges of fraud We're preferred chiefly
by the Wells men or Radicals, but when
pat upon oath and closely questioned they
were unable TO substantiate them. AS the
only hope of the Radicals in having the
election set aside by Congress and the state
kept out was their ability 10 prove immense
frauds and intimidation, it is thought that
the report of General Candy will completely
defeat their scheme.-Nelr York Herald.
