edin. New Zealand, who is on his way to England,

MoRTALITY.-It would appear that the deaths in
this city are more numerous in the summer months
than in any other part of the year. The unusual
sight was witnessed on our streets on Monday last of
three funerals at one and the same hour-two of pee
tives and one of a foreigner.
ENGLISH SPARRows.-A lot of English tparrows
from New Zealand, was received by Mr.. J. A. Has
singer by the Nevada. One dozen were shipped,
and nine survived the voyage. AS soon as they are
recuperated sufficiently they will be set at large.
SUDDEN DEATH.-On Sunday morning last, Mrs.
Sophia Feary, wife of Mr.. Jerome Feary, died quite
suddenly in this city. At a post norton examina-
ton held by Drs. Hoffman, and S~tangenwald, it was
ascertained that the cause of death was valvular dis
ease of the heart of long standing.
Is THAT You, CAPT. ScoTT2-The ducks will ere
long get to be of the same opinion in regard to Raw
sons gun that was held by the coons respecting Capt
SCOTS rifle, and if they find out its him, they will come
down without the trouble of shooting. He brought
home nineteen after a short excursion the other day.
POLICE CoURT.-The past has been a very quiet
week in this forum. Drunks have been nil, one
solitary ooSa of foSt ridipr Uos 5iSnnoad of and a
few trifing civil suits, involving the ownership of live
stock, failed to create excitement. The hot spell has
apparently taken all the enterprise out of wrong
doors for the present.
MORE AMUsEMENTs.-By letter from Auckland we
learn that the +" Lancashire Bell Ringers will visit
this city on the next trip of the Nebraska, on their
way to the United States. These performers have
achieved a worldwide reputation, and were known
in the United States some years ago as the " Swiss
Bell Ringers -
MINsTRELS COMING.-By letter from Frank Jones.
the well-known 'negroist." who was so popular
with our theatre-going public during his stay here,
we learn that he has organized a troupe of min
strels in San Francisco. among whom is the cele-
brated comic actor Johnny Tours. and that they
purpose paying us a visit in September.
LECTURE NEXT WEEK.-It is announced that Arch
deacon Mason. M. A., will lecture on Friday evening
next, at Buffum's Hall, on the subject of the writings
of Charles Dickens, the proceeds to be devoted to the
building of a school house. The Reverend gentle
mans well known talent and eloquence are sufficient
guarantee that the occasion will be pleasant and prof
liable one. See advertisement.
GAMBLER DIscHARGED.-Some week or two ago, a
Chinaman, named Atong, was convicted in the Po-
lice Court of the offense of gambling, and sentenced
to pay a fine of 500 and be imprisoned at hard labor
for three months. An appeal was taken to Judge
of the Oahu Circuit, and decision was
given on Wednesday last, reversing the judgment of
the Police Magistrate and discharging the accused.
ALMOST A FIRE.-At about half-past 8 O'Clock on
Tuesday evening last, fire was discovered on the
mauka side of Thompson's blacksmith shop, on
Queen street. The alarm was given, but the fire
was promptly extinguished before the engines got
out. 1t is supposed to have caught by a spark from
the forge. A matched house at Palama was burned
on Sunday last, about l O'Clock.
THE HAWAIIAN BARE A. J. PopE.-A gentlemaa
who visited most of the islands in ellis group last
year, and who carried aw-J most pleasing remem-
L-.aocs, wr,,Us q the advertiser that he was de-
lighted to see among the shipping at Iquiqui, the
great nitrate port of Peru, the Hawaiian flag flying
from the peak of the A. J. Pope. the cleanest and
trimmest looking vessel in the port. She was taking
on board 5000 quintals of nitrate. June 9th.
No SALE.-When there is dull sale for an article,
the usual expression is that it il a perfect drug in the
market. This was emphaticalg the case on yester-
day, when the stock in trade 6 DR.. Bufum was pro-
- L. - LII 4 - 1owa po a o.nOla
buyer. 1t has been said that the city was gettingin-
clined to be sickly, during the hot weather. but this
wholesale throwing of physc to the dogs would argue
to the contrary. The stock will be again offered, of
which due notice will be given.
SUPREME COURT The term for July has not yet
been brought to a close, several important cases being
yet undisposed of. Chief Justice Allen sailed for
Kauai this week, to attend the approaching Circuit
