To NIsar at City Hall our citizens will have
an opportunity to listen to Prof. Churchill OF
Andover, of whom the Boston papers have
spoken 20 highly. Among his selections will
be the Trial Scene from Pickwick Papers, the
grave digging scene, from Hamlet, and Christ
mas Carol. As Mr.. Churchill Is considered
one Of the very first dramatic readers If not
the first in the country, we expect to see
large audience at City Hall tonight. The
evening tickets are only IS cents, which is a
very low price considering Mr.. Churehilps rep
utaton as an elocutionist.
TIE Army and Navy aion course opens at
Ciay Hall ON Thursday evening next with the
G,aud Concert of the Germania Band and
Orchestra of Boston. Mrs. w. 81. Smith also
appsars on this occasion, and those Of our
readers who have never heard this charming
lady should not fail to be present. The sale Of
course ticket. exceeds those OF last year. when
some 100 were sold. 1t is a fact that City
Hall Is getting too small for any popular en-
tertainments. A large number were crowded
out at the Cary concert last sc ason with tickets
at 81 90, and we presume it will be the same
at The grand Parepa-Rosa concert.
MALICIOUS AssAuLr.-Laste evening, at about
So'clock, three fellows, evidently on a spree
passed up Bracket street. and when they ar.
rived at the Office of Frank Dyer, one of them
threw head of cabbage through the window.
Mr.. Dyer was seated inside, reading, and went
TO the door to ascertain the cause of the IS.
sault, when the fellows. attacked him, drove
him inside aad followed him. In the ARRAY
Dyer received heavy blow ACROSS the base Of
the skull behind and one on the left temple,
making two bed flesh woods, and throwing
him on the stove. His younger brother, who
was with him, finding himself nnabl. to pro-
tect bis brother, went up stairs and returned
with loaded pistol, which he snapped vice
At the roughs, but it did not explode. MIR.

g.rous, were dressed by DR.. Fogg Deputy

Revival of Superstition.

A correspondent of one of the native papers
OF last week, gives a description of a scene wit
messed by him at the upper reservoir in the vak
ley, which, according to his reasoning, was a
species of an0ana, or sorcery. He says there
were two women who went up to the reservoir,
and after standing some time. they deposited
something in a tin pot which was put into the
water. He argues that the ceremony was for the
purpose either of procuring the death of some
person, to injure some one, to produce love, or
for some other kind of ancient custom of sorcery.
The putting of the charm into the reservoir,
whereby it would run through the water pipes
into town, secured its effect upon the party in
tended. He declares that he knows these women,
and that they move in high society. He con
cludes by lamenting that these wretched prac-
tees of the olden times are still continued, and
he calls upon the rising generation to turn their
backs on such superstitious doings.
It is indeed passing strange that, as we are in
formed, since the death of a late high chiefess,
there has been a sensible increase among the ma
tives, of the practices of many of the old super
%stitions. And these unlawful practices-for they
are interdicted by aw-are winked at, if not en-
couraged by those high in authority. The
potency of charms and the prophesying of sooth-
sayers are still believed in. ,
By the ~way,-would it not be a good idea for
the Gazette writers to put themselves en- rapport
with some of these Hawaiian oracles, SO as to
settle beyond a doubt as whether we shall ever
have any more earthquakes, and decide the vexed
case Of Wood versus Stone? ass 5-"ifi

The HYDRATE OF CHLoRAL-The use of this new
an@sthetic, which has gained so wide a popularity
within the past year, seems now to be attended
with some drawbacks not at 6rst anticipated. It's
property of producing sleep, and calming nervous
excitement, without the immediate disagreeable
effects of opium, has led to its extensive, and. in
some instances, TO its prolonged use by nervous
sufferers. Ithas been found that such a protracted
administration of this drug produces a tendency 10
congestion and hemorrhage, especially to be
dreaded in obstetrical cases. 1t is potable that
this drug cannot be habitually used without injury,
any more than opium or other drugs. -

An INSTANCE of Medical Pract1ce.


Mr.. EDITOR As a general thing, 1 think the
practice Of reporting in the newspapers what takes
place in the Courts. is a good one, and l think it
should be more generally followed here than it has
been, especially in cases that directly interest the
public. The case of the physician reported last
week as having been fined in the Police Court for
noncompliance with a law which required him to
keep a record of poisonous drugs prescribed or
administered by him, is a case in point. But that
statement standing alone, does not e~nlighten the
public as to the real facts which came out from the
evidence, as sworn to. The lives of patients are
put into the hands of licensed practitioners of med
icine. Let as know who and what these practition-
ers are. The following is a portion OF the testimony
given on the trial of the case referred to, aud must
-astonish and shock any one.
" Nj, sworn, says Ny wife was sick of q cough,
and was taken to Palama from Pauoa, for a change
of air. Jan. LIST. On the 4th, DIR. Bufum called to
see her at 8 2. NJ. and administered a white powder,
and left three more to be given her at intervals Of
four hours each. Up to that time she had been
usually bright and clear in her mind, aud when
the doctor arrived she was sitting up in bed. She
went to sleep Immediately after taking the powder,
and slept until eleven, when / awoke her aud gave
the second powder, after taking which she went off
Immediately in q heavy sleep. At three A. NJ.
woke her up again and gave the third powder,
when she again went off 10 sleep. AT seven in the
morning woke her up and gave her the fourth
powder, which she vomited up. She had then
become very weak and quite unconscious, and did
not know me or any one else. at seven O'Clock
the doctor arrived and administered to Der in sue
cession a dose of castor oil and u dose OF salts,
neither of which produced any effect. / asked the
doctor how she was. He replied, all right, aole
~pilikia.'' and left. Ny wife continued to sink
thereafter and died that evening. Next morning
when the doctor arrived, he found the people
wailing over her corpse.
81. Z. Deshd-Testiied as to Preparations OF
morphia being white powder, and that he did not
know of any white powder that would produce the
effects described, excerpts preparation OF morphia.
If a party wide-awake were 70 swallow such a
powder as here described, and Immediately fall
into a heavy sleep, l should decidedly say it was
morphia.p Yours, vIAToR.
