NOTES OF THE WEEK.

member Of the Board IL Health, n day or two since.
he remarked that the old ideas about the necessity Of
quarantining vessels arriving from infected districts,
Or which hal disease actually on boarl, were fast be-
coming exploded that scientific research hal proved
the f,llncy Ofthe practice, anil that If the action Of
himself and colleagues could he put before an Impair
tal jury II intelligent physicians, he ill not fear the
result. I'll, remarks were intended % be convincing,
AMI poszibly might have been. but for the actual facts
which are recorded % the contrary in American pa
fpers, and the actual experience Of our old friend
Capt. Fuller. Of the HhbHer, recently arrived from
Sydney. In stating incidents Of his voyage from
Portland to sydney. lie remarked, d. had the aiyan-
tage Of vessels arriving from san Francisco, as they
all had 10 g into quarantine for seven days, on ac-
count ii the smallpox being prevalent At their port
Of clearance" On questioning the Captain, he gave
us the following information The bark Day Damn
came into Sydney after n quick run across from san
Francisco, aud came into the dock. Advices came
by her 90 the effect that the smallpox was raging in
san Francisco. The authorities At once issued notice
To- the public that vessels arriving from san Francisco
would be subject 10 quarantine Of seven days, and
vessels arriving after the Day Darn, although they
had cleared before her, were guaranteed. \ bark
came to Sydney from Mauritius, and was boarded by
the pilot and n runner for a butcher afterwards the
port physician boarded the vessel, AMI on examining
. AAG GEthr GflAAAAe tAAA thF " bAtAA h61 ANItffA-
ing from the smallpox, but that no other case then
existed. The bark was ordered into quarantine, the
pilot and runner being compelled to remain ON board
during the term prescribed by law, from four u
seven weeks Had the Idaho gone into Sydney, un-
der the circumstances that she came TO Honolulu, the
vessel and the pilot who boarded her would have been
sent TO the quarantine ground. No arguments or
Establishments would have prevailed over the stern
requirements Of the law considered necessary and
made for the protection of the people.
In conclusion we would say that the action Of His
Niajesty's Board of Health, in regard to the Idaho, is
utterly at variance with the practice of like bodies
in other civilized communities, and that, as a want
Of confidence III their Judgment has been clearly and
plainly expressed, they owe it to this community, not
to say to themselves, to resign at once.

NEw YEARS DAY.-Thurslay, at midnight, par
ties were roaming over the town and valley, whose
only business seemed to be TO wake people up and
shout "a Happy New Year. some with the hope of
securing coin for their good wishes; possibly, others
with no such intent. Fortunately the occasions for
these manifestations come around but once a year.
The town put on a sort Of semi-hOliday appearance,
but the rain and mud cooled the arlor of the callers,
although we heard Of several houses where tables
we're spread with the delicacies Of the season. The
Of holidays for which the past December
has been remarkable has surfcited the most scrupu-
lous Observers of holidays.
