The Cashmere goat is a native of the Vale of Cashmere in
Central ASIA, and was little known TO the east of the world
DR.. Davis, American Consul at Constantinople twenty years
ago, saw four of them on their way To the Geological Garden
in London, and at once determined TO introduce them into
America. After infinite trouble and expense, he succeeded in
having six OF them, four females and two males, transported
by land over $40 miles to the Coast, and shipped to America
by way Of England. All six landed safely 10 Charleston, 5. c.
In a few years they had multiplied in to several herds OF great
beauty and value, and scattered over various states. Al the
to California. They have increased to probably one hundred
heads. These two goats bred from the original stock, are
natives of California, and guaranteed TO be pure bred Cashmere
goats. Respectfully, A. II. SMITH.
REAL ESTATE SALE.-The fine building site on the
corner of Fort and King streets, was sold on Thurs
day by Mr.. G. s. Barlow, for So, 700 cash, Mr.. Brad
ley being the purchaser. We understand he has
since been offered $4,000. 1t is a small lot, about
80 feet square, but its location renders it one
of the most valuable in the city. The price paid is a
fair index Of the value of real estate OH that street,
which is destined to become the central thoroughfare
of Honolulu. -
