thus relate their experience: Leaving Honolulu
early on the 10th inst. and crossing the paIi we
soon came in sight of the Waimanalo Plantation.
Here we observed everything in full blast. The
mill and locomotive running, teams hauling su-
gar, and the laborers busily engaged at their sew
eral avocations. The mill was prettily decorated
with flags, in commemoratson of His Maiesty's
birthday We were truly pleased to observe
that amidst all the excitement and turmoil Incl
dent to plantation work, His Majesty's birthday
was not forgotten by his loyal subjects in Wal
manalo. Having inspected the mill and its sur.
roundings, which certainly equal anything we
have ever seen in these islands, for order and
regularity, We adjourned to the house of the
obliging manager, and having partaken of q bonn

mounted our horses and pursued our homeward

sE- The survey of NawiIiwili harbor has
been completed by Captain Jackson, and the
result is highly satisfactory. There exists a
clear and well defined channel into the inner
harbor, carrying AZ to 5 fathoms of water
throughout its course. The channel proves to
be of considerable width. We hope no time
will be lost in buoying it, and erecting proper
landmarks so that the navigation of the harbor
NAV be rendered safe and easy. Captain
Jackson has expressed himself to the effect that
he would not hesitate to take in a vessel of 500
tons under canvas.

A Painful Accideet.

Julian, 4 little son OF Noble T. Biddle,
Es.. of this town, met with Il painful acci-
dent last Saturday afternoon. That it was
not fatal, instead of merely painful, is 4
great wonder. on the porch OF the old
Exchange Hotel, on Main street, is placed
for exhibition j: lot of agricultural ma
chlncry, among others 4 patent rake and
binder This is machine upon two wheels,
heavy, but have upon them the additional
weight of two large coils OF wire. These
shafts were propped up by means of Il piece
Of board resting upon the porch. When in
this position, they We're elevated from the
pavement where the child stood at least six
feet so that the fall of such Il weight such
4 distance upon the head of Il little fellow
is no tritling matter The chill was play
ing about the machinery and somehow or
other knocked the prop from under the
shafts and they fell, striking him upon the
head. He was stunned by the blow and bed
freely Parties at hand carried him into
DIR. lamar'S office, where his wound was
dressed by him and DIR. Mitchell. Fortu-
nltcly the skull was not fractured, and the
only danger now is from possible fever and
erysipelaS. The little fellow exhibited great
pluck, never once crying or even wincing

He is getting along very well at this time.

Accident.

y serious accident, 10y which one Cecil
county man was rrcly injured and from
which several others from here made narrow
escapes, occurred at BAY View Junction,
near Baltimore, on the F.. w. x B. Bail
road, on Tuesday afternoon. About fifteen
men We're At work in the new round house
being built by the company. They We're
putting in the iron rafiers on which the roof
was to rest. Eight ont of nine of the heavy
iron rafters had been put in place and the
workmen We're hoisting to its place the last
one, when, without warning, the entire iron
work gave way, precipitating those above to
the ground beneath, together with the heavy
iron beams. Strange To say, none of those
upon the ground We're injured. Five of
those above We're severely hurt, among
whom was Mr. Henry nidtlc, of Chesapeake
City. who had his thigh and leg broken
and otherwise seriously nurt The other
unfortunate parties were ChaS. jackson, of
Baltimore, ThoS. Mitchell and Fred Smith,
of Salisbury, and Harry BriScoe, Of Havre
de Grace They We're all severely injured
legs and arms broken. &c,. One of them
Jackson, is not expected to recover. The
wounded We're taken 10 Baltimore and cared
for. several Elkton men We're at work
upon the building at the time of the acci-
dent, but fortunately they escaped unhurt.
MessrS. Bddle and Briscoe are both married
men. The loss to the company will aggre-
gate 1000. The cause of the break is un-

Mrs. Jennings, (mother-in-law of Capt.
,Iollitfe, government inspector of the opera
tions in our creek and river, now visiting
her daughter here, is i native and resident
nf Warrenton Virginia. She resided there
during the war, and was Il witness of the
late General y. +. \. Torhert'S narrow es-
cape from capture by MoShy's band. Mrs.
j. residence was adjacent to that of the
family to visit whom the General had risked
a ride into Warr-nton, and she observing
the approach of his would be captur, before
any one else notified the General of his
danger. He ran with all speed from the
house-taking a rather unceren onious leave
of his triends-iumred upon his horse and
flew through the town like on arrow his
pursucrs just behind him, doing their best
to overtake him. Had he been one minute
later in making his start his brilliant ac-
chievmentS as Il cavalry officer later in
the war would not now be Il matter OF his
tory. His pursuers followed him within
sight Of the Federal line and then gave up
the chase. Several times during the war
tended 20 capture him and his two horses,
black anu gray. This attempt came nearer
Il successful issue han any other. however.
At another time the horses made a very
narrow escape from getting into his (Mos-
by'>) hands.
