WHAT l. A CruRrcrIrNy-It would he an act Of
real kindness ou the part If our friend II the " Gas
tie Of Incidence " II hc would advise the educational
editor Of the Government paper Of the proper use Of
the word curriculum. II he feels a dcicacy about
thus correcting his surcricrs, we can perhaps afford
TO 10 it. and thus save the said editor from again
ANONYMOUSLY appearing in print with a notice q a
school for foreign children where the 81 English Ian
guage is to he the curriculum Of instruction 49,
We recommend the phrase 81 medium Of instruction "
instead. and mention that curriculum is a term ap-
plicl 10 the list Of studies marked out for the course
required OF those who graduate from the higher IN
stitutious If learuings,-a racc-cOurse which perhaps
our public educators" might like to take a turn
on Tor their own benefit ss well as for that Of the
youthful readers Of their Juvenile editorials.
~ On saturday last Messrs. Adams & Wilder
sold a piece Of real estate on Emma street, contain
ing about n quarter Of an acre, for the sum of
~ $50. Another local paper says it was con-
sidcrcl to be cheap We have heard many COM
ments on the sale and it is very generally allowed
that it was a large figure, outside of any limit which
had been put upon il. There seems to be a desire
upon the part of capitalists TO purchase real estate,
no doubt influenced by he reported purchases Of
land by parties in authority.
II q Mr.. George Williams, shipping-master, ha.
called upon us and states that he shipped the crew
for the bark .Mauna Loa. This is the second party
who claims to have shipped that crew; but this one
being a licensed shipping-master, fears that our re-
marks touching the matter may do him an injury.
We can only say that a personal acquaintance of
several years, and the reputation always given him
by those who have had occasion for his services,
leads us to believe that his dealings with masters and
seamen are honestly conducted.

lowing officers were elected

= ANOTHER FAILuRE.-Wc have again TO record the
failure of Mr.. +. Horn, confectioner. Should Mr..
Horn determine to withdraw from this branch of
business, our residents would miss his establishment.
For many years our city was without a professional
confectionery, and the want was not felt; but having
become used to the luxury it will doubtless be in
copvenient to do without it.
DEPARTURES or THE " MORNING SrAR."-This fine
Missionary packet left Market wharf on Thursday
afternoon about 1 o'clock She will proceed to the
Marquesas Islands, where the delegate of the Hawai-
ian Board, Rev. J. T. Pogue, will examine into and

guess of Missionary work in that field.
