at times. In yesterdays p. c.. ADVERTISER, the
Torrance in December next, instead of the Goth of
the current month. a programme of last nights
concert, from another ONCE, announced the time

astonishing that such fragrant errors can escape
the eye of the practical proof-reader.
Mr.. WANGENHEIM, has opened a factory for sup
plying the public with n very fine quality of cider
and gingerbeer, on the premises on Hotel street
next to the corner of Fort. The place has been
converted from a stable into a very neat dwelling
and workshop. In the latter department a num-
Der of workmen are busted in bottling the delight
full, temperate drinks, and every part Of the place
is kept as neat and clean as possible. The vinegar
made by Mr.. Wangenheim is very pure and strong,
and of good flavor.
MEssRs. S. J. LEvEY & Co.'S grocery wagon
started from the wharf yesterday afternoon whilst
the driver was unloading some packages for the
steamer Waimanalo. After passing up Kilauea
street it created a CONSERVATION in Queen street,
and finally capsized and came to a stand opposite
Messrs. Irwin & Co.'s Office. 1t is evident that

prevent nervous horses from taking flight.
PoBr Surveyor Morrill, again displayed his usual
ability on Thursday by discovering some hidden
opium on board the Jane A. Falkinberg. He found
in the fore peak of the vessel forty half-pound tins,
and three tins containing five pounds each of the
pernicious drug. During the past two months
Mr.. Morrill, has effected four seizures, aggregating
1873 lbs. of opium. So far, the ownership of yester-
days seizure has not been traced, though there is
reason to suspect one of the crew of being con-
cerned in the illegal Importation.
AT the Supreme Court yesterday, before Justice
McCully, Mr.. Russell, counsel for the plaintiff in
the case of Lazarus VS.. Trousseau, moved for
judgment. The motion was argued by counsel for
the parties interested. The decision of the Court
was as follows: 1.-The Court said 1t was unable to
to see where was the necessity for a judgment,
now that the amount demanded with costs had
been paid into Court. No action could be brought
again. The record shows that the debt has been
paid and the costs also without having a judgment,
and the motion is denied" Mr.. Russell noted an
appeal to the full Court.

and are now rehearsing for a performance to be
given at the Music Hall on Saturday next, January
20. The troupe now number twenty of the best
singers and performers, with three "Tambos :"
and as many 80 Bones" There will be fifteen per-
in the circle in the opening piece. This
troupe achieved name and fame in their
travels Throughout the group a few years ago,
and are all Hawaiians but two. We doubt not but
that their temperance will prove a success, as
they include much good talent in their ranks.
Due notice will be given of the programme, etc.

20 years old, before six jurors and David Dayton,
va 0O0gf SHA
reported that several ribs were broken, and from
the injury to the ribs and lungs he found sufficient
cause for death. Several other witnesses were
examined, and the jury returned the following
verdict 1--WE find that Kaaiweuweu came to his
death by injuries received from being run into by
the horse of T. A. Goodwin. We also find that T.
Goodwin used his best endeavors to avoid this
accident, but that it happened from his furious
and careless riding"
