The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1856-1888, 1883-04-21

The California Architect and Bui(ding
NelOs for March contained an article taken from
The Timber Trade Journal on the subject of
painting the interior woodwork of houses, that
contains some valuable hints. After comment
ing upon the stupidity of 'grainers'' endeavoring
to make wood look like marble in mantle pieces,
and in initiating a line of sap wood on perfectly
sound heart wood, the writer says
Chow often is it to be found in these DAYS,
when public taste is centered upon what is
vaguely termed aesthetic decoration, that labor
and material are expended upon the decoration
of the woodwork of a room which if it had in
the first instance been expended upon the wood
itself, would have secured good and really beau
tiful material.

Home to our Mountains be passed over
without notice. But where all were so excellent,
1t is Almost invidious to specially indicate even
such bright, particular gems.
4 gentleman who has lately taken a trip
through the Hilo district, on Hawaii, has in
formed us that he noted particularly the new
bridges over which he passed, and saw that they
were very solidly built, and that great care had
evidently been taken to make the abutments
secure. He added that everybody knows what
roads are, subjected as they are to
almost uncsasing rain, and that they had been
very much improved of late by the building of
new grades and q more thorough system of
ditching.
d" Mr. Robert Graham, the secretary Of the
Church Temperance Society, said, on Wednes-
day evening, that out OF the twenty-four Alder
men in New York city eleven were or had been
direct liquor sellers" This is q very singular
statement to be made in relation to the antece-
dents of so many officials of such a great city as
New York. 1t would be supposed from this
evidence that liquor selling was not there con-
sidered with disfavor, but on the contrary,
afforded advantages for preferment.

Butler County in this State has a.
heroine. For some time there has been a.
hot controversy for the possession of thirty
acres of land between the heirs of William
Purviance and of d. A. Renfrew, repre-
senting the Forest Oil Company. Miss
Dot Purviance claims a patent from
the Government for the property
and recently the Board of Property at
Harrisburg decided that she was the right
full owner. She had a hut erected on the
property and moved into it recently. Tues
day morning force of fifteen or twenty
men, employees of the Forest Oil Company,
attempted to eject the alleged intruder from
the premises. The first assault was made by
Renfrew and his two sons kicking in the
door. This raised the ire of Miss Purviance,-
who displayed a greater amount OF courage
than is generally possessed by the female
sex. Armed with an old ak she struck right
and left, which unexpected and daring as
sault terrorized the combined forces
against her, resulting in a general stam-
pede and hasty retreat Of the Forest
Oil Company's men amid jeers, cheers and
laughter OF some hundred persons who were
present to witness the scene. The RenireWss
attempted to rally their forces, offering BY
ISLANDERS five dollars for assistance, but no.
one responded. At this point Sheriff DON
aghy came and commanded the peace. Miss.
Purvianee went to Butler and had the Rem
frews arrested for riot, and RenfreW had
Miss Purviance arrested for forcible entry
and detainer. Miss Dot holds the fort and de-
Glars she will shoot if another attempt Isl
made. The property is worth $50, 900, was
leased to the Forest City Oil Company by
Renfrew, and has two producing wells
upon it.
