Ea5- A haxen-haired little boy of apparently
three years old was brought TO the Station House
yesterday afternoon having been found astray
and lost At the back OF kiikina's school, on
Fort street. He appeared 70 take to his strange
surroundings very kindly, but had nothing 70
say for himself. His mother who had been in
sad distress was made happy again by finding
him there. The little estray was the son of
Captain King, of the steamer Likelike.

~ Mr.. Fessler, well known on account of
his relation with well-boring enterprises in this
country, had a narrow escape of death on the
22nd inst, at the well being bored on the pre-
misses of Hon. Simon Kaai. While engaged in
lowering a pipe, a pin connected with the
machinery was loosened, allowing the driving
wheel to revolve at a great speed. Mr.. Fessler
seized the break, but was thrown down by it.
He held on to it, however, until the machinery
was brought under control-but the jar of the
running wheel loosened Il heavy steel rod,
which fell upon him, knocking him sense
less to the ground, dislocating the left
shoulder, i~nficting 4 severe confusion on the
left side of the head, and injuring the drum of
the ear. Mr.. Fessler's injuries were promptly
attended to, and thanks to a strong constitution,
he was soon about again, although it will prob
ably be many weeks before he has the use of
his arm again.

suits to recover money. Only one of them is an
ejectment case, viz The Minister of the In
