ANOTHER SUDDEN DEATH.-Capt. Antonio, a native,
long and well known as a Captain of our coasting
fleet, died suddenly on Monday last. He had taken
passage and embarked in the schooner Hattie, bound
for Kauai, and the schooner was underweigh when
he was attacked with illness. He was placed in a
boat, and returned to the wharf, but died before or
shortly after he reached his home. Capt. A. was a
careful sailor and skillful pilot, and will be remem-
bered by many naval officers as the pilot whose SER
vices were employed by vessels visiting the other
islands of this group. -
L Our thanks are again due to our old friend
John Korb, boatman, of San Francisco, for a paper
issued on the day the Sonora sailed, March 18th,
being one day later than by the mail. by a singular
coincidence, the paper was sent by the hands of Capt.
Hutchinson, who some ten years ago rescued korb,
whom he found floating out to sea, near the Heads,
his boat having been capsized in a squall. Had it not
been for Capt. IL he would probably have been
drowned. Long may he live to serve the public and
the press. -
THE ExEcUTIoN.-The two Cinnamon, Agnee and
Tin Ahchin, who murdered a native by the name of
Kaauaeaina, ON Maui, in January 1868, suffered the
extreme penalty of the law yesterday morning at the
Prison. The platform was dropped from under their
feet at ten minutes after nine O'Clock. Death must
have occurred simultaneously, as but little motion
was perceptible in either case. The medical gentle
men who were present and examined them after being
cut down, report that the neck of one was broken
and the other was dislocated.
II \ cautious Californian declined to receive a
Geographic despatch sent from n town where small
pox was raging. This is only surpassed by the practice
of our immaculate Board of Health, which declines to
allow a passenger to land from a port where small
-n,v he's pvi-tal uut1 no had lppn absent from that
place a certain length of time, although they allow
cargo to be discharged, and officers and seamen full
liberty TO 20 and come. The Californian's ideas
are not half so muddled as is the practice of our
Board. -
JUsr So.-President Lincoln, being on one occasion
told that no man in England ever thought of backing
his own boots, comically replied, " But whose boots
does he black - In humble imitation thereof, the
editor, itemizer. &c, sc, of the Government paper,
on being told that a certain story was not inrentei
by its author, wonderingly replies, " But, pray, who
dud invent it?'' Funny, Ell?
New SAILING DAYs.-We see it stated in the San
Francisco papers that the Pacific Mail Steamship
Company will hereafter dispatch three steamers to
a month, and announce the 10th, 18th, and
Both as sailing days in each month having thirty
days, and substituting the 18th for the 18th, in
months having t%hirty-one days.
FIRE ALARN.-The alarm Of fire yesterday after
noon was occasioned by the burning of a grass house
at Kauluwela. 1t was soon torn down the services
Of the Fire Department not being required, although
were promptly out.
ExrEpIrIous.-Since the arrival Of the schooner
a week since, she has been fitted with n
new foresail and mainsail. The sails were made by
Mr.. W. G. wool~cy, and are very crelitable pieces Of
workmanship !
