y The record which the McNeale & Urban
Safes have managed to obtain for themselves
during the past week greatly pleases the owners
of such safes, and also the Agent for the Com
pany, Mr.. c. o. Berger, especially as that gentle
man only them as being fre-proof.
1t would be well for our citizens to provide
themselves with burglar and fre-Proof, and thus
guard against the two evils.
q The latest departure in the line of trade
is the formation of a joint stock company by
Messrs. J. NJ. Dat and w. L. Grieve, who have
already opened out a stock of stationery, papers,
etc., in the new building opposite the Bank.
Their many friends will undoubtedly, be pleased
to make investments in the stock on hand land
so will please the firm.)
- 1t is with regret that we are compelled to
chronicle the death in this city on the 18th
inst, at his residence, of C. P. Ward, Esq, an
old resident, and one who has been long and
favorably known in this community. Mr.. Ward
came to this country in 1853 and has held vari-
Gus positions of trust and his decease leaves
another vacancy in the ranks of the kGmdaiadS.

the Fort Street Church on the evening of the
3Oth inst, taking for his subject Japan and
the Japanese" The proceeds of the sale of
tickets will be used for the benefit of the Ladies
Benevolent Society, and as the lecture will be
prefaced with singing and ended with a Social in
the vestry, it is safe to predict an extraordinarily
well-flled house.
- The Honolulu Dramatic Club will give an
entertainments at the Music Hall on the evening
of the 1st prox. The piece presented will be the
''Happy Man" The proceeds from the sale of
tickets over and above expenses, will be devoted

EaS- A chartered company called the Planters
Labor and Supply Company was organized on
Wednesday last, with the following Board of
Trustees Messrs. S. T. Alexander, President
w. G.. Irwin, Vice-President; j. H. Patty, Treas
urer ]. c. Glade, Auditor E. P. Adams,
Secretary A. S. Hartwell and u. S. S~palding.
The ostensible object of the company is the i'm
p%ortation of laborers, but as 1t has taken over
the work of the defunct Planters Association it
is difficult to divine what its real objects are.
What a Joint Stock Company has to do with the
collection and dissemination of information as
to methods of cultivation and manufacture Is not
very clear. We publish the text of the charter
in this issue.

II The striking countenance of the late
4 Chief-Justice Harris with its lion-like expression
] lives in the memory of every individual who
1 once encountered the eminent judge, and all
those who had any acquaintance with the de-
ceased, would be impressed, as we were last
Wednesday. by looking on the living present
ment of the great lawyer in the Legislative Hall.
This is a bust portrait in oil, painted by Mr..
Furneaux from photographs. but who was
we'll acquainted with Judge Harris in his life
time, and in our opinion the artist could not
have succeeded any better in producing a faith
