broken by the falling of some large timbers. A
surgeon was Immediately sent for, and the injured

A FINE altar chair is being made at the Enter
prise mill for the Catholic church. 1t is principally
of oak wood and has a canopy fashioned after the
Gothic style, and surmOunted with crosses finely
carved by hand. The whole Of the chair, as it is
called, will present. an appearance of stateliness
when it is complete with its gilded ornaments and
elegant proportions. Probably this is the first piece
of furniture of its kind ever manufactured in this
city, and it Will certainly compare favorably in
point of workmanship and design with anything of
similar construction that we have ever seen abroad.

AT about a quarter past four o'clock on Satur-
afternoon, the fire alarm was sounded through
the city. The first impression down town was
that it was a signal for practice, but this idea was
d~ispelled by the engines hurrying towards
Merchant street. near Alakea. Smoke was seen
ssuing from the house of J.. Kealakai. A few
buckets of water extinguished the flames before
lie services of the engines could be awaited of. The
,ause of this contaSratiOn was a baby playing
matches. having been left in a bedroom by
tself, and within reach of the cOmbus tibles. There
vas considerable damage caused by the water, but
little by the fire. The internal condition of
he house revealed a state of uncleanness tina t was
liscreditable To the occupant.
THE steamer Madras arrived on Tuesday off port
With 500 more Chinese. She hoisted the yellow
lag and two cases of smallpox were reported on
BOARD. Verify the careful precautions of the
Board of Health in respect to these ships bringing
lordes of Cinnamon to our port were most
timely and wise. The captain states that the
case broke out on April the 9Th inst, and the
econd case on Saturday last, the It'll. The Madras
eft HOn5kOnS on -Nafcn 10Th. ana, as she would
one day coming eastward, she must have been
twenty-five days out when the first case was no
iced by or came to the knowledge of the captain.
yonseuuently we must believe that the case which
,roke out on the 5th of April must have been pre-
eded by others, how many we know not; but it is
probable there were some cases. and they have, no
Ioubt. recovered or the bodies have been thrown
unbeknown to the captain.
