E~RRATUM.-Last week, in Mr.. S. G. Wilder's
report, in the second column, instead of " four dol
lars per week, - it should have read " four dollars
per month" -
THE CLIPPER SHIP MAoAo.-We learn that there
is not a single sick man on board this ship, and
everything is clean and in good order. She is now
inside from stress of weather, and will take in water
and provisions and sail for Peru as soon as possible

CoRoNER's INQUEST ON HAwAIL-By q recent ar
rival from Hilo, we learn that the mail carrier
between Kawaihae and Hilo, was found dead at
Waipio, under circumstances that gave rise to q sus-
picion that he had met with foul play. By direction
of Sheriff Coney, the body, which had been buried,
was disinterred, and a coroner's inquest held. The
jury could find no marks of violence, and returned q
verdict to the effect that the man came to his death
6 by the visitation of God.''
THE IRON HoRsE.-We call the attention Of our
readers to the extracts we give on the outside Of our
paper respecting the .Steam Road Roller" and
g Locomotives without Railways THAT is, locomo-
tives for common roads. These latter can be got for
about the price of a crack horse, and can do ten
times the quantity of work with very little more cost
of keep but they require good roads, or at least
tolerably good ones, although it is astonishing what
the india-rubber tire effects. 1t is almost a question
whether they cannot work in softer roads and worse
roads than ordinary iron tired vehicles.
We learn from San Francisco that Webb has
bought the Noses Taylor, and would start a
through line to Australia. to commence on the 10th
of November. The following is the dispatch in re-
gard to a postal treaty between the United States
and New Zealand:
SAN Francisco, Oct. 6.-Dispatches from Wash
ington announce the signing OF the postal treaty
between the United States and New Zealand. BY
this treaty our Government and that Of New Tea
land agree to pay ESQ, 900 each for the maintenance
of a 6rst-class steamship line between this port and
New Zealand, which is to go into operation before
January LIST, 1871. The steamship Nevada, OF the
old Nicaragua Cppo, ition line, has been ordered
down from Benicia to be made ready TO make the
first trip as one OF the new Webb line.
The KoSA SroRM-For the first time, in four or
five years, we have been visited with an old-fashioned
Kona storm and copious showers Of rain, that already
make the face of nature look green. The wind
hauled to the southeast and south in the early part Of
the week, and gradually increasing in force, during
Thursday, blew q gale, with frequent rain squalls,
and occasionally the unfrequent phenomena Of thun-
der and lightning was heard and seen. All Thursday
night, up to 2 O'Clock on Friday morning, the rain
poured down in torrents, flooding the streets, washing
away the mud, and swelling the streams. Quite q
number of valuable trees and sbrubbery in and
about the city have been blown down, but we have
not, so far, heard of any other damage.
"FAMILIAR FACES ONCE MoRE."-Under this
head the Gazette, in its last issue, speaking of Mr..
A. P. Everett, who is now here on a short visit from
San Francisco, as having g left Boston, Mass, Nov.
9th, 1916, in the clipper schooner RamehGmeha ILL.,,
Fisher A. Newell, master, and arrived at Honolulu
on the 9Th of March 1916 lis mistaken in date.
The schooner left Nov. 10th, 1916, and arrived at
Honolulu, March 9Th, 1916. And again says Sc Out
of those who embarked in the Kamehameha, in Bos-
ton harbor, on that cold and clustering afternoon in
November, but four are known to survive, and it
happens they are all now on Oahu. Captain Newell,
the genial man and thorough seaman, is supposed to
have gone down with all hands, including his Uife,
some years ago on the schooner Vaquero between
this port and Sydney, as he was never been heard
from since sailing hence Mrs. Newell, three sons
and two daughters were, at last accounts, living and
enjoying good health in South Boston.
