Adding the number of infants and children still too young to attend school, the whole number of inhabitants amounted to about 850. The buildings of all kinds numbered 200. There were two large hotels in the place, besides boarding and public houses, and houses attached to ten-pin alleys, billiard saloons, &c.; so that the town was becoming one of some consequence, and was assuming the pretensions and attractions of older, wealthier and more populous communities. Two wharves were in the course of construction; and extensive stores and warehouses had been erected. There were twelve mercantile houses established, consisting of agencies for large firms, in the East and in the Sandwich Islands, auction and commission houses, and importers from the United States direct.
