Palms, trees of various kinds and
bushes have been planted around
on the borders of the fishmarket
grass plots and are doing remark
ably well. In a few years the
market will not have that bare APP
pearance that is sometimes I'M
pleasantly evident.

ing purchased the steamer Wal

The bark Orient, Christensen
master, arrived early yesterday af-
ternoon, after very rough voyage
of SO days from Hongkong. On
February 18th a very heavy sea
struck the vessel and swept the

broken and the wheel itself was
carried away. The cabin was filled
with water and things looked rath-

principally of Chinese. The cargo
consists of 500 tons of general mer-
consigned to Wing Wo

hican, denies the statement pub
lished in the Examiner, that that
vessel ran aground on the last voy-
age to San Francisco, Mr.. Clough
states that Pilot Scott was taken
aboard the Mohican about thirty
miles outside the Farraleones.
When the vessel got near the latter
place the wind died out, and the
pilot ordered an anchor put out.
Seventy fathoms of chain were run
and shortly after the wind sprang
up and the men were ordered to
take in the anchor. The links in
the chain were too small to work
in the capstain and orders were
given to cut away. The vessel was
not ashore at anytime on the voy-
age and Captain Johnson, who is
commodore of Brewers feet left
the vessel at Frisco, because she
had been sold to WEIGH & Co. The
