day last and purchased by Mr.. T. h. Boyd, for Sl7i

REnovAI.-Tbc Office Of W. L. Green has been re
moved from the Makee block to the building opposite
on the lower floor. We understand that the premises
recently vacated to be used by the Bank in add
ton to those already occupied.
Dr. DUDLEY, an occulist of considerable reputa
ton, recently from San Francisco, performed
skifu operation at the Queens Hospital few days
since upon a man who has been blind for severa
years which has resulted in the restoration of his
eyesight.
TIE net proceeds of the performance at BufTum'l
Hall on Wednesday evening last, for the benefit o.
the widows and orphans of the late war, amounted
about $3.50. We heard Of one very kind hearted per
son. lady, who helped toward realizing that amount
I by paying twenty dollars for two tickets.
Or Saturday evening the band from the Russian
war steamer Almaz came on shore and played fol
several hours, much to the enjoyment of large mum

the beauty of the evening. The Hawaiian Military
Band also gave an outdoor performance, which many
compared to be equal if superior. the former
The new packet Queen Emma will be the next
vessel for San Francisco. She will finish loading
this week, and will sail Saturday or Monday next
The A. P. Jordan will follow Both vessels have
been awaiting the arrival Of freight from the other
Islands. The arrival of several coasters on Sunday
with large quantity Of sugar has greatly facilitated
the prospect of tn cir dispatch.
We understand that Henry Dickinson, Esq., has
been appointed Police Magistrate at Lahaina in con-
sequence of the serious illness of W Ap Jones, Esq.,
who has been confined by paralysis for some time.
Mr.. Jones has held the position for nearly twenty
years during which time he has performed the duties
of his Office satisfactorily, both to the Government
and the people of Maui. 1t is to be hoped that he
will soon regain his health.
WAR VESSELS ExrEcrED.-By information receir-
ed from the officers of the AlmaE we learn that three
other Russian war vessels may be expected shortly
from home, on their way to Japan. 1t was in ex-
Pectatiou Of meeting them this port that the Amaz
touched here. One of the vessels is the flag ship of
Admiral Grown, who is already well known here he
having visited this port two former occasions.
Since his last visit, few years since, he has been
promoted to his present rank.
TIE DREDeE has been busily engaged for two weeks
past in scoOping out the mud from that part Of the
harbOr opposite the old Custom House. 1t is some
thing surprising to the amount of deposit lodged
in the harbor from year to year from the washngs of
the mountains and streets. With the steady and en-
ergetic work of the Dredge but little ground can be
gone in a week although the result may be seen

Bound TO CONE BaoK.-A Chinaman recently en-
ployed as cook on Jarvis Island having been rcfus
ed permission to leave, took novel means to make
his services of little value as possible John was
bound to obtain passage on the schooner c. NJ.
Ward, which about to sail for Honolulu, SO he
chopped off couple of his fingers. The superin-
ent concluded to let him go while there was enough
left Of him, not doubling from the perseverance which
the Chinamau exhibited, that he would be rather
small sized cook before the vessel returned.
The past week has appeared more lively than has
usually been the case after the departure of the
steamers, which has generally been the duest part of
the month. During the whole of last week, the
presence of so many persons upon the streets from
other war vessel the latter part of the week, has
helped somewhat to change the general appearance Of
things for time but that both vessels have left
may expect the usual routine of quetness until the
arrival of the next mail steamer.
TIE KILAUEA This vessel was "hove down.
last week, and it was found that the damage
sustained by her in her recent misfortune at Mookai
was less than it was supposed to be. The only
serious repairs necessary to be made has been the
replacing of the keel, which is being done in very
substantial manner by Messrs. Foster & Co. In
consequence of the slight nature of the repairs
made, the steamer will be in 4 condition TO resume
her trips much sooner than was anticipated when
she returned from Molokai
LAST WEEK we called attention to the Pukeko,
New Zealand game bird, which had been forwarded
the Minister Of the Interior by the Auckland Ac
matisation Society. We now understand that in a
a few days these birds will be set at large in the
marshes near the residence of Capt Luce, at Waikiki
1t is to be hoped that licensed sportsmen will take
particular care not to shoot them bat rather lend
their assistance in protecting them in the way of
doing their duty by preventing unlicensed marauders

RATHER LATE.-The bark Eugene returned from
sperm whale cruise Friday last and transhipped
her OIL amounting to about zoe barrels of SPERM to
the syren. She sailed on Monday afternoon for the
Arctic taking a number of letters and packages
for the feet north, it being generally supposed she
is the last of the spring feet Such is not the
however there three other vessels still expected
the Europa and Emily Morgan from cruise and the
Awashonks from home. The whaling in the Arctic
during the past few years has been done late in the
season, consequently there is not the necessity
for vessels arriving north as early as formerly.
The steamship Nebraska, the second vessel of the
new line, will probably arrive on Saturday By infor-
nation received from San Francisco by the last steam
er, it is understood that she has number of promi-
nen members Of the minstrel and theatrical profession
on board en- route the Colonies Should she arrive
early in the day, it possible may have enter
tsinment on Saturday evening. We understand the
proprietor of the Royal Hawaiian Theatre intends if
possible to induce some of them to remain over
for a month. We hope he may succeed and that
his endeavors to ause and entertain the public viii
meet with the success which he deserves.
