BRIEF MENTION.
" Capt. J. C. cluney accidentally alloweaA hAndspike
. interview his diaphragm. and in consequence was COM
ifpelled to remain on shore from the Nss5e ATT1H this trip.
HE has recovered from the effects however, and will
sail the seas over in charge OF the Matte when she
returns.
V We learn that Mr.. c, P. Ward. who for the pSst
lswentysix years has been a faithful employees of this
I government in the Custom House Department, has been
1 granted = three months leave OF absence by the Collector
General. in order to proceed to the United ststes in guest
Of medical advice fer his eyes.
ACHANGE IN a native employ
ed by Wilder & Co, yielded to the promptings Of bad i'm
pulses. and reserved for his own use the sum OF sl1So
out of sI4O0 which he had collected. The services of the
blind goddess being called into requisition. he received
as = reoompenss for his undertaking a rest OF three
months at the H. De F. where all future letters TO him
should be addressed
ASHORE and AFLoAr.-The Lkeiiks while dischsrging
cargo. OF the port OF MAkena. ON the morning Of the 18th
inst, touched on the rocks and was retained in that posi-
ton until the arrival. $ few hours later, OF the LehHo, and
by whose assistance the first named vessel was soon
brought into deeper water. The damage sustained is I'm
known, but it is believed that the occurrence was purely
accidental and nobody seems TO be to blame.
wARM wEArHER.-The weather during the past week
has been rather warm and to a slight degree uncomforta-
BILE, for neither wind nor rain has assisted in cooling the
regions of upper air, and in consequence people below
have transpired freely. The street sprinklers have assis-
ted in cooling the highways and by ways through which
they passed, and the dust has not annoyed the patient
public as in days of yore. Blessed be Dodd for the dis
tribution of aqua purd, and may the shadows of the
sprinklers never grow less
INFORMATION wANrED.-Towser and Rouser and their
mates, who INDUCED in the poisoned meats that were
laid where they were wont to meet, have undoubtedly
ere this enjoyed . run in the happy hunting grounds to
which they were so unceremoniously and quickly dis
patched. Spiritualistic Seances are now in order. A 5 an in
terview with some of the dear departed is anxiously
wished for, and the receiving of information which will
enable the question " who did it?" be answered in q
manner that viii insure the capturing of the $3.50 now
offered as a reward.
ESFANTs P-ERDu.-Ernest wilhelm and Pedro Peterro
made a raid upon the money drawer Of j. W. Crowell on
the morning of the 18th inst, and succeeded in capturing
$40 in subsidiary silver, besides reducing the stock Of
cigars, tobacco, sc. The detective abilities of the loser
were Immediately put in practice and by eight A. N. Of
the same morning,-the robbery occurred at about five
o'clock,-Crowell had the robbers safely housed in the po-
lice Station. At $50 they were convicted and 80 LBS under
s-entence-wilhelm or one who done the work, receiving
three months at hard labor, and Pedro one year at like
occupation.
TwHY STAND YE IDLE.-The Wholesale and reckless
manner in which the poisoned meat, that has caused
the sudden taking off of so many CANNES, was distributed,
should receive the attention so outrageous an act deserves
by some attempt being made on the part of the police de
partment to ferret out the perpetrator. Officers of that
able department have now an opportunity 20 display
their ability in capturing a criminal, who will not walk
in and deliver himself, and they would receive deserved
praise If they only made a increment to capture, even If
the undertaking itself was not wholly successful. They
should endeavor to shake off the mai Toto which seems to
hold them at present, and add to their prestige and peck
cts by doing something, which by being left undone casts
a reflection that shows them mp in a rather poor light.
A DRUNKEN Row-Bob Mitchell and Peter Singleton,
old friends and chums of many years standing, be-
came entangled in the labyrinth of Maunakea and
Hotel streets, and being under the influence of rinnm
hordiuDa, their tempers were not as good as when in more
sober moments. At Smiths bridge Robert became play
full and attempted to throw Peter over into the water,
possibly to try his walking powers, but this familiarity
Peter objected to, and to add more point to his argument
he stabbed Robert in the stomach. This action of
Peters separated the pair for that evening, one being con-
veyed to the Hospital and the other to the Police Station,
and at each of which places they have since rested,
Robert at the Hospital getting better and Peter anguish
ing in the station house earnestly hoping he does.
Elk. CONSUL MArrooS.-In a recent issue OF a Washing
ton paper we find the following. There are some in Ho-
nolulu who were made somewhat unpleasantly familiar
with the gentleman in question in a monetary line.
A bill in equity was filed yesterday by John 8; McGrew
wife. The petition sets forth that on March Is, 1875, the
complainant lent and received Nations note for $3.50
amount, but it was returned nula bona; that Mrs. Mat
tOon is et1hSe owner r Of lot II and d the y south nth part Of lot Z IN
money was applied either in payment for this property or
defendants be required by the court to answer, under
oath, whether or NOT this money was so used, and II not,
how it was disposed of. and that the real estate be
declared subject to the Judgment. An injunction is also
asked for against the defendants disposing of any of the
property until a full hearing is had.
INJURED {" NELLIE. The mare Nellie formerly own
ed by the absconder Giles and which was sold, under the
hammer last week to r. Lishman, injured herself soon
after coming into the hands of her new owner by striking
her left hind foot against a piece of e~artaern sewer pipe,
in the station yard, cutting the flesh and severing an
artery. Some good Samaritans, having thrown thasani-
NAL, endesvored to stop the flow of blood by sewing up
the wound, but her kicking and struggling prevented,
for sometime, the accomplishment of the desired object;
but they finally succeeded. In the mean time the white
vests, pants, and coats of the spectators became the recep-
tacles for various sized blots of blood which the wounded
maiden lavished around and caused a heather Chinee who
was present and who keeps a laundry TO remark, " heap |
belle good, makee me muchee workee, alice same Nell
can man talkee, its an i'll wind that don't blow some
body good"
