FIFTY YEARS AGO.


and will continue for several days. The
ship brought out bridge to run be-
tween the vessel and the ice-house,
which is a decided improvement and
viii facilitate the work. Those who
have never seen the way in which ice
is discharged, should take look at it.
Thanks.

tions to our friend Macy, of Kawaihae,

hala potatoes, which can't be beaten

From Hawaii
Our readers will recognize the pen Of
our former associate in the sketch Of
an excursion over Hawaii, in another
column. From all accounts, we gather
that the eruption (of Kilauea) is fas
becoming quiet, though the lava MAJ
for weeks give symptoms of life. Capt
Berrill informs US that it had reached
the sea again near Wainanalii, and thu
same wild connection of those antag
onistic elements-fire and water-wit
messed there in January last, was being
e-enacted, though on a smaller scale.
New Advertisements
!, Our readers will find THREE columns
or more of new advertisements in GU
|, paper, embracing most of the new
goods on the way to this port. Tha
} country dealers refer to our advertise
ments and make up their orders in I
} great measure from them, we havt
(. often been assured Retail dealer
II both in town and country will often b.
saved considerable vexation and in
quiry by keeping the run of the new
advertisements.
New Flour.
Mr.. Hughson, who now has charge O.
the steam flour mill, has sent us a sam
pie of the new grinding 1t is choic
article, and better than any we hav
ever seen from the first week s grindini
in former years. No finer flour can b
asked for than what is now produces
at this mill.
Coffee Blight.
The market advices from San Fran
cisco are rather unfavorable to ship
ments of our staple island products
excepting only coffee pulq, and swee
potatoes, each of which show an ad
vance on former quotations. OF coffee
however, we have little or none to par
with, and the probability is we shal
soon have to import for our domesti
supply, as the Hanalei estates will 500
relinquish the culture of it entirely
owing to the blight.
War.
The European news brought by tn
Yankee is of great interest. 1t is a
Milan that the first great engagement
viii probably take place. Wheneye
Napoleon thinks his forces stron
enough to march over the river Pc t
Milan, the Sardinians will approac
that city from the east, while NapOleo
moves up from the south, and Gar
baldi attacks from the north. How 500

I certain, as it would depend on the al
rival of troops and equipments froi
France, which must all be in READINGS
to move on rapidly and take adyantag
Of any victory, or assist in any defea
AS each army will be headed by II
Emperor, it will be a hotly conteste
engagement. The Austrian Emperc
had not arrived at Milan at the latel
J dates Of English papers just received
