Living IN GLASS HoUsEs."-Under this head
find an article in the AdJertSsr of the 2lst inst
in which it is charged that the Chinese on these
Islands use ground glass in the preparation of rice
for the market, and that it is limited that death
has ensued in consequence of eating rice thus pre-
pared. If any man or woman in this community
is in possession OF information that will establish
this charge, and keeps that information back, he
or she Is guilty OF great crime, by concealing
]
thorities, would subject the parties TO condign
punishment for using AZ article in the polishing
OF rice that is dangerous TO human life. We hope
that if our contemporary is in possession of iufor-
nation that will lead to the conviction OF the
Chinese who use ground glass in polishing rice,
there viii be no hesitation about exposing the
guilty parties This is the plain duty every good
| citizen under such circumstances.
~ Ladies call at Maguiu's new store Fort
street, and see those beautiful driving gauntlets,

A SURPRISE PARTr-Last Saturday evening about
10 O'Clock, as two of the clerks of Messrs. Hack.
field & Co., who occupy an upstairs room in the
building as a sleeping apartment, were about TO
retire, they were startled TO find man secreted
among some boxes in the store, who however, in
the darkness made good his escape. 1t appears
that the clerks had occasion 10 procure light, and
one of them went TO the candle box to get one.
The burglar was secreted in tine vicinity of the
candle box, and no doubt thought be would be
caught unless he made desperate effort for HE
liberty. He accordingly made a sudden spring
from his coy hiding place, and bounded through
the window into the street, when be made good
time out of sight. There being no light the young
men had no means of identifying the villain 1t i.
but question OF time with that fellow he.wil
try it again, no doubt, and will be caught We car
imagine the surprise Of the two young men, wher
the fellow darted past them through the window
and their disappointment at his getting away from
| them.
