truth. A Chinaman first shot q native whom he
supposed to be looking after his okolshno still.
posse of policemen under officers Swan and San
ford went to the place at tue head Of Wa,Pio
guch. Three Cinnamon had been sent ahead TO
the house, and they ran out when the policemen

Mr.. and Mrs. II. ]. Agnew returned by the
australia to take up their permanent residence
with US, as the Coast climate was altogether too
severe for Mrs Agnew's health. During her SO.
journ in San Francisco she experienced several
severe attacks OF pneumonia. from which she was
hardly expected tc.recover. MIR. Agnew ship
ped sixteen valuable horses of excellent pedi-
gree. that arrived on the schooner AHna, and
his speculation appears to have attracted consider
able attention over there in turf circles.
Cart. OWNS, formerly of the steam whaiers
Mary and Helen and Beiridere, arrived by the mail
steamer australia TO take command OF the new
steam whaler North Star. The authorities at
Washington have commissioned Capt. Owens to
carry mail to the Arctic and communicate with
the U. $. exploring steamer Rodgers formerly the
Mary and Heirnl which he expects TO meet in st.
Lawrence Bay. As the BelrifeJe left San Francisco
before the news concerning the fate of the Jean
Hetie received, the North Star will no doubt
be the first 10 carry the sad intelligence to the
Rodgers, and thus terminate her mission.
the lawyers on our block" are becoming
numerous and are fixing up their offices in fine
style. Mr. Davidson now occupies his new quar-.
tiers in the building formerly occupied by DR..
Hoffman, which he has arranged very neatly: w.
X. Castle has fitted up his new Office next to the
post office and has just moved I'M j. NJ. Monsar-
raft is re-arranging the Office adjoining the new
Gazette building recently occupied by Black 4
reynolds. In addition to the above are Messrs.
Hartwell and Whiting over ]. w. Robertson's store
and Messrs Dole and Russell over A. W. Richard
sons store; and further along, Merchant street,
Judge Bickerton has just had Office built.

our legal lights are doing LAND Office business"
AN alarm of fire on Monday last brought out the
Fire Department short notice. hut rs usual
their services were unnecessary. Smoke was dis
covered in room adjoining Aswan's store on
Nuuanu street. China Company, No. s, whose
engine house is near by, were the first to get the
water through their hose, and when it did come
four or FIVE men were not enough to hold the
NOZZLE and i'll an exceedingly short space of time
the street was cleared to avoid the flood of water.
Houses on both sides of the street were pretty
thoroughly wet and so were all of the "fire boys'
who were within range of the company's hose.
The injury done by the fire was not serious, but
had it got good start the light frame buildings
there would have burned like finder, and given
all the fire companies enough to do.
AMONG the through passengers by the Australian
steamer were Mr. and Mrs j. p Burnett, Mr.. and
Mrs. Arthur Vivian, and Thos. Savers, son of the
famous English pugilist, all of whom have been
connected with the various San Francisco theatres.
Mrs. Burnett is professionally known MS Miss
ragged hero of Dickens Bleak House, has i'm
mortalized her throughout Great Britain and in
in every city where she played the character, which
is in reality, one of the best of sermons, even
though presented from the stage. In London.
where the lady appeared as the street Arab
zoe times, she was great favorte with the nobility
and enjoyed the intimate acquaintance of Mrs.
Gladstone, the wife of the British PRIMER. 1t is
probable that VIM. L. Sheridan, who has been
playing a round of Shakesperian characters ut
Baldwn's Theatre and elsewhere in California,
during the past year, and is recognized of
the leading tragedians of the American stage, will
arrive by the next steamer en- route for Australia.

The eighteenth annual meeting of the contri-
butors to the American Relief Fund was held on
Wednesday evening ut the rooms of Mechanic
Engine Co. No. 2. The reports read showed that
during the year seventeen needy Americans have
been assisted by the Association; Of these, four
were sent to their friends in the United States,
two died and were buried here, six werc discharged
cash balance on hand at the beginning of the year
S4S3.66; the receipts during tho year were
SisS from subscriptions and Sl2.25 from the
the same time were SSIO.75 leaving a balance on
hand of only Sl43.l6. The officers reelected for
the ensuing year are 4. j. Cartwright President;
sx pam0n AND ap
Dat and Geo. ". Houghtailing were reelected
members of the Relief Committee, and Capt. A.
w. Pierce was elected to fill the vacancy caused
by the death Of Capt. Jacob Brown Seven mem
beers of the Association have died since the last
meeting in 1881, and few new ones have been
added. The contributors to this fund are mainly
| residents Of Honolulu but many of those assisted
by it are from the other islands, and if Americans
throughout the group were better acquainted with
| the work done for their unfortunate countrymen
| and countrywomen, many more would undoubted
ly contribute their share willingly and regularly
| The fund is distributed without expense and con
| tributors have the satisfaction Of knowing that
their money is devoted solely to the object fol
which it is intended. Since the organization Of
tho Association in 1864 $l3,700 have been dis
bursed, and of this amount only $l35 have beer
required for expenses of the Association, and tn,
greater part Of this was used for printing circu
lars, etc. The cash balance ON hand this year
$li3.l6. is less than the amount on hand last yea
by $a4O.iO, and with the money since paid in viii
not be sufficient to meet the demands for assis
lance likely to fall upon the Association durn
the present year. All Americans desiring to assis
their countrymen in distress through this worth
Association should call upon communicate wit
any of the officers above mentioned.
