litter Of twenty-eiSht little pigs there was one

inch long, fore legs like a man, no tail.
The brig Hazard, after undergoing her neces-
sary repairs before proceeding in quest of labOrers,
was launched from the Marine Railway on Satur-
day last and the tern Eva hauled up for repairs.
No criminal business was transacted at the Po-
lice Court on Saturday because there was nothing
to do. This speaks well for the condition Of af-
fairs in general in the city.
THE Oceanic made the unprecedently smart run
Of b DAYS from Yokohama to this port. If she
does her best from here to San Francisco, she can
easily accomplish the passage in six days.

Is our commercial review Of Saturday last we
enormously stated that the sale on behalf of the
administrators Of the late Mr.. J. q. Tucker was
made by Lyons & Leyey, but We should have said
by T.. r. Adams.
SATURDAY evening the fire alarm bell rang at
about 7:3O O'Clock and the various fire companies
began to turn ont when it was discovered that a
bonfire in the yard Of Mr.. I. II. Davies was the
cause Of alarm.
The premises on Fort street, formerly the office
Of DR.. Rodgers, are being fitted up for a tonsorial
saloon. The artist who will assume the manage
ment Of this important business, Is we'll and favor
ably known in this community, having established
his reputation at the rooms adjoining the Key
stone, and Known as Bradley's hair cutting
saloon.
THOSE who have charge of the watering places
for horses in the city should see that the water
flows freely, so that there will be less danger of
the spread Of that disease among horses, which has
recently appeared here, We have heard no COM
plant that the watering place up the valley is not
in proper condition
Il some parts of the town, where there are bal
comics overhanging the sidewalks, 1t Is the custom
to throw water-slOps, etc, into the street. Yester-
day, We noticed a man passing along the sidewalk,
when suddenly some one appeared on one of these
upper verandahs and threw a pail of water almost
over him. This sort of thing ought to be stopped
THERE was no appropriation made during the
last Legislative Assembly that could be applied with
so much benefit to the public in general, and the
mariner in particular, as that for a light on Bar
ber's Point. 1t is a treacherous place even in day
light, whilst at night it is decidedly dangerous.
This small appropriation ought to be expended at
once.
WHEN the police officers searched the Aberaman
on Tuesday before her departure, they discovered a /
stoWaway on board and took him into custody, but
lie managed to escape and made quite a sensation
by running at full speed through the street, fol-
by several natives whom he soon left behind,
vigorously for some one to catch the
fugitive 3
THE April Term OF the Supreme Court opened
Monday morning by the full Court Sitting in
Banco. The exceptions in the case of Rex VS.. Kom
Kwei, charged with importing opium into the King
dom, were argued, and the Court supported the
ruling of the Police Justice. f. Horn VS.. c. II.
Cook has been withdrawn, an amicable settlement
having been arrived at by the marriage of Mr..
Cook and Miss Horn on Tuesday last.
II may be that some merchants have found from
experience that it Is not profitable to keep their
stores open i'll the evening, but certain it is that
mechanics, laborcrs and those who are employed
the day frequently find livery incOn-
venient to be unable to purchase groceries and
the like, after the days work is done. Some stores
have recently been in the habit Of keeping open
alter than formerly, and it is probable that all
will find 1t advantageous TO do SO in the near
future.
ALTHOUGH tie number of cabs or carriages for the
accommodation of those who have occasion to
travel about the city and its environments is con-
tinually increasing, vet all seem TO be doing a pro-
business. But we frequently hear of cases
Of exorbitant charge by drivers, who take advan-
of those who not care to dispute or haggle
about rates of fare Double, or in some Instances
treble, the proper rate as per Express Regulations
are charged. BY reporting cases of this kind
promptly to the police authorities drivers will soon
begin to adhere to a more just and uniform rate of
