THE MoKoLH.-The heaving down of the Mokolii
at Messrs. Tibbetts and Screens on's wharf. has re-
shifted in the discovery that the injuries are net Of
such a serious nature as to compel the long deten-
ton Of the vessel in port. A general overhauling
however will ensue, which will not allow of the
departure of the vessel on her route for a week to
come.
CURIoUs.-Among the curious condolences con-
nected with this month. besides its being of 29
days duration and the occurrence OF Valentines

A WEEK OF HoLIDAYs.-First was the Fireman's

then the Chinese New Year "all around" II
would be better If some of these holidays could be
conjoined, for as it is. the effect of so many close
together is demOraliZing. The Fireman's Parade
at least might be set for the 18th instead of the Sd
of February.
MUDDY S~TREETs.-During a residence Of q good
many years in this city. we never remember to have
seen the streets in such a sloshy condition as they
have been during the past week. Something Of this
is doubtless due to the great increase of late in vehi-
Giles; but the grand difficulty, we apprehend is in the
want Of management by those in charge of the high
ways. There is a great amount of dissatisfaction on
the part of taxpayers, not only in the city but by
those living in the suburbs.

THE THEATRE.-The Clayton Combination gave
only one performance during last week, and that on
Monday evening. The programme consisted of

and Kiss in the Dark, and was well received by a
small but appreciative audience. "The Downfall of
Woolsey,'' by Mr.. Bradley, was well rendered. and
the Margery and Mrs. Pettibone of Miss Ingles were
good characterizations. Tonight Pinafore will be

week. There will be a slight increase in the price of
reserved seats made necessary by the expense attend
ing the production.
