MIR. BUsHEE, book-keeper for Mr..
John Mott, has two Greek coins of
silver, little less in circumference
than the Hawaiian dollar. He took

Portuguese. AS the general designs
on the coin are very similar to those
on the Kalakaua dollar, people will
require to be on their guard against
this money in receiving silver. The
coins are stamped 1876.
LATELY the driver for an estab-
lished meat market started a shop
of his own, but, for reasons that
may be guessed further on, retained
his position with the market. Some
of the regular customers of the
latter were annoyed at their orders
not being filled, and made arrange
ments for procuring their meat else
where. Yesterday an agent of the
market was going round making in
vestigations, the proprietor's sus-
picion having been aroused by the
cessation of orders from old GUS
toners. 1t appears the driver had
wilfully retained the meat that
should have gone to his employers

secure the patronage for his own
shop.
