HORRIBLE AcCIDEyT.-The terrible con

Reaching the crossing, she took the child

the avenue, when brewery wagon, drawn

is copy Of the reply:

Dear Sir: The lateness Of the hour when

OIL CITY, Oct. II, 1869.
We give Mr.. Kenaedy the benefit of this
explanation, and do not question his 'Gts,
nor the right Of people to patronize whom
they choose, at the same time We repeat
what.we have before urged, that our own
tailoring establishments are best entitled to
home support, for the considerations which
must be apparent to all, and that they are
iully ablo to respond TO the wants and
tastes of the community. TIiusuuIe Herald.
Mr.. Kennedy is entitled to the same ex-
pauation from us, but as the item referred
to first appeared in the Oil City Times, we
supposed it to be correct, and perhaps is,
but no one vii! suppose Mr. Kennedy the
agent referred 10. We heartily endorse
every word the Herald says in reference 10
patronizing home Institutions, as money
paid to eastern houses does not benefit bust
ness at home, still, all have a perfect right
10 trade and solicit trade wherever they
choose.

DEXTER MAKES a HALF MILE IN ONE
Minute AND Four SECONDS. - The gentle
men who were at Prospect Park last Satur-
day afternoon saw something never before
seen in this world: they saw a horse trot
a half mile in one minute and four seconds,
and the second in hi:ty-one, OF course
the horse was Dexter, and he was driven
to sulky, by Mr.. Bonner. The track was in
good order; so far as drynoss WAS concerned
and DeXter's tracks, with the new shoes on
his fore feet, were just where he put his
feet down; there was no slipping. At the
same time the track was so rough, for the
want of scraping, as to make it unpleasant
to ride over it, Dexter did not make a
break, and he never looked finer. As he
came in, an experienced horseman who was
timing him exclaimed repeatedly: sit is
more like flying than anything else"

Below We publish correspondence of the
Weekly Bulletin, on the subject of line OF
steamers between San Francisco and Aus
tralia via Honolulu. There can be no doubt
but that in time, such an enterprise will be
undertaken, and there is no room to doubt
but that it will prove to be profitable
one. The Australian Colonies and New
Zealand are scarcely less prosperous than the
States Cd the western slope of the Rocky
Mountains. Already a considerable com
merce has sprung up between California and
Australia, and it only requires more certain
and speedy mode of communication between
the two countries TO make it more active
and prosperous. The establishment of steam
communication would accomplish that re-
suit, with the consequence that the surplus
productions of both countries could be in
terchanged to the mutual benefit of all
parties concerned. To the Islands of the
Pacific, lying in the track of this commerce,
great benefits would accrue More particular
ly would this be the case here, where so much
has been done in the development of the coun-
try-the production of certain staples which
have such an effect upon the markets of this
ocean. We may say as much as we please of
the advantages of the market which we now
enjoy; we should not be unmindful of
the fact that line of steamers such as
proposed by the correspondent of the Bal-
letiH, would open up to us the vast Colonies
of Australia, thereby giving US the advantage
of two certain and increasing markets for
our produce. To say nothing of the pass
enger traffic, which would undoubtedly prove
a great local benefit, the establishment of
line of steamers such as suggested, would
prove of lasting benefit to the whole country,
and is fully as desirable as it would be to
have the China steamers take this port into
their route to and from China.
A NEW OCEAN STEAM ISE-During the
last quarter of a century, progress and civil
iZation have made such rapid strides that it
is hard to foretell what may follow. The
last spike is hardly driven In the Atlantic and
Pacific Railroad, before another enterprise of
the same kind is under way. From the East
aud West, the tide of population is rolling
towards our shores. The men of Europe
and Asia meet on our soil to compete in the
grand march of civilization. And long ere
Macauley's New Zealand artist takes his
stand on the broken arches of London Bridge,
to sketch the ruins of the scene around, a
hundred millions of Americans will inhabit
this vast continent, and the stars and stripes
will wave from north TO south. Yet 1t be-
hooyes our merchants to open up all the
channels Of commerce with foreign countries.
Last wear a large Quantity of our produce
found its way TO the Australian market, and
nearly 2, 900 Australians found their way here
to settle in our more favored land. Austria
liza has a population of nearly 200 900. and
during the year 1868. no less than IS, 00O, 900
was paid by flrst-class passengers between
the Colonies and Europe, while the Central

international Yacht Race.

Channel race for yachts of all nations,
from Cherbourg round the Nab Light and
back, for a cup of the value Of 2,500f., given
by the Emperor of the French through the
Societe des Regettas de Cherbourg, with a
prize FOR the second vessel value l,O00f., aud
gold medal, was sailed on Monday the 10th
inst. There was also an extra prize of 500f.
and a silver medal for the first French yacht.
The result of this race will be interesting to
English yachtsmen, as twas the first oppOrtuni-
ty there had been of ascertaining the compare
tive speed of the champion American Yacht
Dauntless, about which the public have heard
SO much lately. This vessel was in the SOlent
during the whole of the races there during the
past fortnight, but she has not competed in
any of them, nor indeed had she been seen I'M
der way except upon one occasion. 1t was
not known that she was going to Cherbourg to
take part in this race, and it was therefore for
tunate that two English yachts Of noted char
aeter-the GHiHerere and Egeria-were there
to meet her, otherwise she would probably
have had an inglorious victory. The Guine-
rere being of all the fast English yachts, the
nearest to her in point Of tonnage, was the
best qualified to compete with her on equal
terms the Egeria is not quite half her size.
The Societte des Regattes de Cherbourg adop-
ted the rules of the Royal Thames Yacht Club,
including those as to tonnage and time allow
ance as the conditions of the race.

Mr.. EDITOR: There is an error in the
notice Of the death Of Mr. and Mrs. Wilcox,
published in the Pacific, as quoted by the Ad
rertiser, in the time of their residence in the
Islands. They arrived at Honolulu April o,
1887, being thirty-two years ago, last April.
Respected, trusted and beloved, they dwelt
and labored in the land mot in vain,-for
generation. Mrs. Wilcox, on her passage
from her home to Honolulu, in June last,
had slight attack OF paralysis, but when
she left, was doing well. This, and the CON-
parative feebleness of Mr.. Wilcox, induced
them to undertake the journey to visit their
eldest son, settled at 0roville, California, aud
thence to journey to their early home, which
they reached, only to die. Their feebleness
and WEAKNESS rendered them peculiarly sus-
ceptible to the attacks of disease, and when
Frustrated by it, their systems had not vital
ity enough to rally again, but quickly yielded
TO its power
Mr.. Wilcox, at the time of his death, was
Treasurer and Superintendent of the Gov
eminent Schools in the division of the Island
where he dwelt. He was also Missionary
of the Am. Board. Con-.

An amusing story is told in the KNOkod
of certain native living in Koolau, which
is too good to be lost. 1t seems that the
person in question has been sick and appre-
hending that his end was near at hand, sent
into town for a coffin, so that his friends
might be prepared TO give him proper burial.
In due time the coffin arrived, upon seeing
which, grave doubts arose in the sick mans
mind as to whether II would fit No means
to decide the question appearing so conclusive
to him as a personal test" he tried himself
and couldn't get in, the thing was too mar

his stupidity in not getting a coffin suitable
for the purpose, and lost no time in saving
the capital invested. so far as possible
Knowing of another man sick like himself,
who also expected to die, he entered into
negotiations with him at once, and sue
ceeded in disposing of the useless Ito him)
article, at loss of only four dollars. Our
readers will appreciate the above, when we
state that this provident gentleman is the
honorable member from Koolau, who in
years past has caused no little mrth on
account of his eecentrieities. We sincerely
hope that the venerable and eccentric gentle
mans fears will not be realized, but that he
may, instead, long live and make US all laugh
many more times.
