CAPT. DANIEL SMITH.
NOTES OF THE WEEK.
THE COMET sailed on Wednesday noon. the 18th, for
San Francisco, with a fine trade wind, taking a mail.
ST. GEORGES SoCIETY.-It will be seen by ad-
vertisement that the annual meeting of the above
Society will take place on the 29th inst.
AN OREGON FIRM-We beg to call attention to
the advertisement in to-day's paper of Messrs.
Corbitt & Macleay, Commission Merchants of Port
land. Oregon. -
A ScARE-At Warehouses; store on the beach
snake toys are for sale-an odd toy, by the way
aud a native fruit peddler was so scared by one of
them the other day, that he left his basket of straw
berries and skedaddled up street.
DISPOSED OF AT PRIVATE SALE.-The tract of
land adjoining the Punahou College premises,
which was advertised for sale by auction to-day.
was disposed of at private sale on Thursday last,
at the upset price.
Up FOR FREIGHT.-The fine bark Queen Emma, is
up for San Francisco, under the command of Capt.
Dennison Hampstead, an old favorite master on the
route. With a fair chance, we predict a good report
from the Queen Emma.
THE HooKs-By a characteristic notice from the
Foreman of the Hook and Ladder Company, we
observe that they are going to have "a trial of
strength" on the 10Th. We intend to be present
on the occasion, and expect to see some tall lifting.
A New TRoTTER.-Mr. T. Cpmmins received by
the r. ". Wood, a fine roam gelding, imported by
him from Sydney, N. S. W. The horse is not a large
one, about seven years old, but is pronounced by
good judges to show excellent points, and is reported
to be a very fast trotter.
AVA Satisfactorily two licensed ava deal
ers have been fined each 500 for selling to persons
unprovided with a physicians certificate. It has
long been notorious that the practice of thus lille
gally selling was common. and it will be surprising
if the police succeed in stopping it.
JunrcuAT VaCANrTEa We understand that Hon
A. J. Lawrence, Circuit Judge of Maui and ada
cent islands. has resigned. to take effect on the end
of the present month. Also that Judge Jones, the
Police Magistrate of Labaina. is suffering from
paralysis. and unable to perform the duties of the
office. -
DRIFTED OFF.-The schooner Isabella, DudOit,
sailed on the l1th for Hawaii, returned to port on
Wednesday last, without getting anywhere. She
reports that when of Kahoolawe, fell into a streak
of calm which lasted five days. four out of which
she was out of sight of land, having drifted to the
westward. On getting a breeze the first land in
sight was Oahu, for which she bore up.
ODD FELLOWS Observation-Disclosures Wednesday
the Goth inst, is the ffty-second anniversary of
the institution of Odd Fellowship in America. We
notice by our exchanges that the Order through
out the United States and Canada will observe the
occasion as u Jay o. thanksgiving III prayer.
Excelsior Lodge No. J., of this city will, we learn
have a special meeting on the occasion, when an
address will be delivered by one of their number.
INDUSTRIAL ExHIBITIoN.-We have received a
neatly printed pamphlet giving information res
pecting the eighth industrial exhibition of the
Institute. to take place in San Fran
cisco, August sth, 1871. Articles from foreign
countries, should be accompanied with a certificate
from the American Consul. in order that the duties
may be RENTED. All such will be stored free of
charge. =
THE understanding on the wharf last Satur-
day as the Kate Lee moved up by the Esplanade to
her berth, we were somewhat puzzled at the fact
she kept moving steadily along without any
sails or hauling of warps, when we discovered the
little steam-launch Sedan, lashed alongside the
and Juggling and kicking up behind with
the vim of a steamboat of large size. She
might be made very useful IN moving vessels about
the harbor. -
RETURN OF THE KAMAILE.-This schooner, about
whose safety some apprehensions were entertained,
arrived on Thursday morning last, after a passage of
81 days from Jarves Island. She made the passage
to the island in 15 days, and after discharging, sailed
on the LIST of March for this port. The vessel was in
bad trim, not being half ballasted, and encountering
strong adverse winds, she was blown of, until stand
ing up to the %northward into latitude q ? she at
length fetched Kauai. Sixteen days from Jarves
she sighted Niihau, when the strong Easterly
trades swept her of.
NEEDLESS RIDING.-Last Tuesday, a Chinaman
riding on horseback up Nuuanu Avenue, ran into
carriage that was coming down at the time, and
getting thrown himself, did considerable damage to
the carriage, besides somewhat frightening the in
The carriage-horse was fortunately a very
quiet animal, or serious consequences might have
resulted. The Chinaman it appears, was a novice in
horse riding, and holding with both hands to the
pommel of the saddle, had no control over his beast,
which went at its g own sweet will" A fine of S25
was inflicted, the Magistrate remarking that the
person in whose employ the Chinaman was Giving
