PRAISE SERvICE.-On the evening of Easter Sun
day, April 5th, Fort street Church was filed with
an attentive audience to listen and participate in a

say. that those taking part in the demonstration
will please exercise their own judgment as to the
mode. -
Why NoT?-In view of the successful otter hunts
made from California last year in small and mex
pensive craft, and Row being repeated, the ques-

the small vessels laying up for want of employ
ment, At and send away at least one otter hunting
expedition? We have men here capable of guild
ing such an expedition to the haunts of the animal.
and we do not lack for good shots. The capital
required is comparatively trifiing.

ing Lahaina in a calm, the steamer KiIaued cour-
teously lowed the schooner -Settie Merrill out some
eight miles, until, getting the breeze, the Aett'e

steamer her heels, and arrived first off Honolulu.
She had some seventy tons of freight on board be-
sides ballast, and it is said that after the first dive
she didn't fairly come up again until of Diamond

spectation of ever visiting Honolulu again, At the
conclusion Of the coming season North, he will
