THE NEW ENGLAND MUTUAL
LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY,
OF Boston.


From the spectator" OF New York City We extract IS fol-
lows -" The New England Mutual stands forth as a fitting
type of what a company should be in regard to its method OF
business. Seeking rather to esta' lih a reputation r stability
and soundnesS than TO present novel and promising, but I'M
tried and unapproved features in underwriting conducting all
the company's affairs with the strictest economy aud adopting
only those measures proved by experience to be the wisest,
the directors of the company have snccet ded in establishing
for it a reputation for reliability second to no other similar or
ganization in the country. Yet, great as is the degree of
caution manifested in the adoption of every new measure, the
company is conducted in a manner fully in unison with the
progressive spirit of the age. AS regards its dealings with
policy holders, few companies are more liberal and honest"
"The business Of the New England Mutual is conducted 10
the most economical and able manner its terms are liberal
and just its success has been uniform and extended and its
perfect Reliability and safety, the natural consequences at
tendant upon the possession OF such features. and which should
be the great desidratum with an insurance company, are an no

A New GROCERY SToRE-Walkin along Msuna-
kea street on Thursday evening, we found. nearly
opposite the old Liberty Hall premises, a grocery
store in full blast, carried on by Mr.. J. b. SillOway,
formerly known as a Woodworking honest and indus
triOus shoemaker, both in Honolulu and the district
of Kau, Hawaii. Give him q call-he keeps open
evenings as well as days.

To the EiitOr Of the Pacific Commercial Advertiser :
SIR viii you allow me space in your valuable
columns to make "A few remarks in reference 10 the
performance at the Royal Hawaiian Theatre on Mon
day evening last. l had made an arrangement with
Mr.. Claremont, as the representative Of Miss Evans,
for Mr.. Neill and myself TO appear in conjunction
with her for six nights. commencing on the above
mentioned evening. On hearing this, a gentleman
with whom I had bad a little unpleasantness. assured
Mr.. Claremont that he had made n grave error as.
although the people Of Honolulu would come 70 see
Miss Evans, they would certainly not patronize her
If she played with me. Now, sir, this same gentle
man had been the first 10 advise Miss Evans, on her
arrival here, to play with Mr.. Neil and myself, as IL
would prove attractive. The public, he said, were
tired Of seeing portions OF plays with only two peo-
pie ; but this was before the unpleasantness referred
to. Mr.. Claremont, bearing this in mind, deter
mined to carry out the arrangement, but my gentle
man was far from satisfied. On Monday night, dur
ing the performance, messages were brought 10 Miss
Evans, at the back Of the stage Il don't say by
whom), to the effect that a number Of the audience
in the dress circle were displeased at her playing with
me that the performance was the worst that had
been given since her scjourn here, and that they
would not come TO see her again unless she played by
herself. Miss Evans, l presume, deeming this TO be
true, thought fit to break the agreement, 30 far as
she was concerned. This being noised abroad, sew
eral gentlemen, thinking / had been unfairly treated,
took upon themselves, without consulting me, to get
up a memorial TO Miss Evans, desiring that she
might continue the combination. 1t was signed by a
number Of gentlemen who had witnessed the per-
formance, and the gentlemen whom the messenger
had quoted as having expressed their aversion to my
appearing, denied the matter entirely. The gentle
man deputed TO wait on Miss Evans was told by her,
in answer to the memorial, that she did not recog-
nize the signatures Of any gentlemen ; Mr.. Clare
mont at the same time saying that he was :, sur
prised Mr.. Rayner should lend himself to such q
proceeding" / would not have intruded upon your
good nature (s I have at all times an aversion to
rush into print), had l not been requested to do %
by a number Of the gentlemen signing the memorial,
who were naturally offended at the manner IN which
it had been received.
In conclusion. allow me to remark that I write
this from no ill-feeling 1 am too great n lover Of my
profession to wish to injure any member Of it. As
for the gentleman whs went 30 far out Of his way to
SANDER me. L suppose it is an infrmity Of his nature,
SO I pity him. Believe me to be, sir. Yours, ETC..

CLEAR As MUD-tn the Police Court reports ofthe

$500, being the amount imposed by the statute without amy
discretion or power Of mitigation in the Courts. with the coats
Of prosecution, but declined 60 add any OF the discretionary

POLICE CouRT.-on Tuesday. it being the da,
after a holiday, there was, naturally enough, n goo
deal Of business before the Police Court. Firstly
the Magistrate gave a decision in the case Of tia
Crown VS.. Peavey, for selling spirits without
license, mulcting the prisoner in the penalty pre-
scribed by law, viz $500. An appeal TO the Su
preme Court was noted by counsel, MIR. X II
Stanley. A lot Of DRINKS were disposed OF quit
leniently ; some fast and furious riders were fine
$40 each, and admonished, and some hulahula folk
were also fined and instructed as 10 the law.

THE RAIN.-Al through the summer and far into
the autumn, we complained Of the want Of rain.
But at length it came. The latter part Of October,
about the whole Of November, and 30 far i'm Decem-
Der, we have had a good share OF water. 1T never
rains but it pours." But let us thank Heaven for
the needed favors, although s~treet-walking may have
been rendered disagreeable
