y PLANTATION SALE.-The Kapakuea OF Metcalf
plantation, located near Hilo, has been purchased by
Messrs. Along & Aehuck, of this city, for SAC 900.
The debts, it is understood, will nearly cover the
purchase money, so that, out of a once valuable
plantation, worth 800, 900 two or three years since,
little or nothing will remain to the heirs. 1t will be
remembered that Mr.. Metcalf willed this estate to
Punahou College, in the event of his eldest daughter
dying without children: Heavy commissions and in
terest have, however, swamped this valuable planta-
ton, as they have swallowed up others before it.

at Parkersburg recently went to a lawyer, and
stolen. The lawyer advised that writ of re-
pevin be procured and the log replevied and
it was done. The other party went to the same
lawyer for advice as to how he might recover
the log. He advised that it be replevied and
that was done. At this point party No went
for more advice. The same process was sug-
Gested. The last time We heard from it. that
log was being replevied as fast as the several
parties could get out papers"
