YrnE broke out Thursday night, or more
properly on Friday morning, in mn outside cottage
at Mr.. Il. J.. Adams, in Nuuanu Avenue. The
neighbors rushed 10 the rescue and the fire was
confined by their efforts 20 the building whence IL
started from. The Bishop and his boys worked
heartily, and the mischief confined 10 n small
area. The fire watchers, whatever may be their
title, knew nothing OF IL.
The rehearsals of the beautiful oporatta Pinaforc
are progressing favorably, and M each succeed
ing meeting shows more proficiency in the music
we are led to expect grand success at its public
performance. The cast as at present arranged ia
considered the best obtainable from our very
efficient corps Of amateurs. On last Tuesday even
ing the number of singers present oYty-threc,
which, in addition to the number incapacitated by
illness, makes the total nearly fifty, !. larger
chorus than presented PiDafore in San Francisco
during its successful run OF six months.
AN accident, attended by an almost miraculous
escape from severe injury, occurred on Tuesday
last and resulted from careless driving. A lady
the victim and also the driver Of the vehi-
Gle. In rounding Richardson's corner tho wheel
collided with the corner post that supports the
verandah, which caused her to be thrown head
foremost out of her seat, between the shafts and
in rear of tho horse. Fortunately, the animal was
not kicker, and did not move Speedy help en-
abled the Indy TO be removed from her dangerous
ON her feet She expressed feeling no sense Of in
jury beyond the effects of the shock.
The new brick building erected on Fort street
by Levers and Dickson, is one OF the finest that
has yet been built in Honolulu. The length Of
the building is GO feet and it has fronting on
Fort street of 30 feet Both stories twelve feet
in hight; the upper Is used for storing nateri-
a., and an elevator for moving goods from
the celiar--which is seven feet in the clear, and
used also for storing-to the second story. The
arrangements on the ground floor in the most
| Convenient form. The walls of the building to the
second story nre IL inches thick and above that
have thickness of IL inches All of the iron
work-doors, grating, &c.,-was made at the
Honolulu iron works, and is equal to any i'm
| ported from abroad
We have had most savage communication
| from Merchant street on the subject of the right
OF builders to block up streets in busy mercantile
parts of the city. We agree with the complainant
and think 1t is not or at all events ought not to be
allowed, that any one altering building or rails
| ing new one, should be allowed the use Of the
whole footway and one-third of the traffcway. At
the present moment one-third of Fort street. in its
narrowest and busiest part, is covered with build
ing material. carpenterG bench was in full
| action opposite Dickson's on Thursday in Fort
street Empty barrels and superb nous sand blocked
| the way in Merchant street throughout the week.
| Why cannot citizens when building consider the
| neceSSltleS OF their IcOW-CltlZenS and deposit
their building material that it may offer the least
possible detriment to the local traffic.

raisers have availed themselves of the opportunity
