9th inst, to two young enfants perdu, whose procliv-
ity to wander away from their paternal mansions
O. nights, and invade the sanctity of grounds where
the ideas of the softer sex are taught TO shoot, had
resulted in bringing them before him for punish
ment. Besides the lecture, they received a permit
to board and lodge at the Hotel de Fyfe for a period
of six months. to earn their bread by the sweat of
their brow. There was no attemptt to strain The quail
iy of mercy.
SCHOONER LOST. The schooner Eugenia NJ.
Briggs went ashore at a place called Huelo, a few
miles east of Haiku, on the Island of Maui, on the
18th inst, and became a total loss. The vessel was
at anchor, landing freight, when the trades, which
there blow directly on shore, came on strongly,
with a heavy sea which came on board and filed the
vessel with water, and she eventually went on to the
rocks. The Briggs was a good vessel, of III tons
register, valued at $4,000, and was owned by
Capt. Robert Briggs. The cargo on board at the
time of going on shore was valued at about $10,-
900, partly insured. There was some insurance
ON the vessel.
WHAT LIE MARECHAL. Marshal w. c. Parke
passed the Both anniversary of his appointment to
his official position on the LIST inst, and il a long
performance of official duties entities a
public servant to the commentator of the public,
the Marshal certainly deserves it. Old residents can
bring to mind the years 1852 and 1858,
during the small pox times. when that dreadful dis
was carrying away its victims by the hundreds,
the angel of death visited almost every house
hold, and they can tell the story of the energetic en-
deavors made by Mr.. Psrke, regardless of self, to
arrest the spread of the disease and to alleviate the
OF the afflicted. The natives from Kauai
to Hawaii, venerate and love the "Ilamuku'' to
day, for bis services on that dread occasion.
The Marshal has also held the honorable position of
Sergeant-at-Arms to the Legislature for the past %
years, and it is hoped that he may long continue to
enjoy his otium cum dignttGte.
