DR. BEcHTISGER.-Scme of our readers will re-
member the Austrian Physician with this name, who
resided on the islands during 1866 and 1867, and
who wrote communications to the ADVERTISER on the
subject of Leprosy, about which he professed to be
well informed. A correspondent at San Francisco
informs US that he is row in that city, having since
he was here travelled extensively in Formosa, British
India, the Dutch Islands of the East Indies, Abyssinia
and Egypt, in the execution of various scientific and
government commissions. He was in the expedi-

of the Grand Vizier of Egypt, at one time as his

THE LAST MURDER ON HAwAn.-The principal ISL
] ana of the group is becoming lamentably noted for
crime. The one to which we referred last week and
the particulars of which have now come to hand, is
the fifth person who has come to an end by violence
on that island during q year past and in two of these
cases, drink was the melting cause This last tragedy
occurred in Hamakua district, and the details are
sickening enough. One Palaelei, an illicit distiller,
had sworn vengeance against a half-crazy man named
KuaWaa, for informing on him. On the I'd of March, |
Palaelei, while intoxicated, came upon bis victim and
beat him to death with a club. Four others were
present and Witnessed the murder, but were all more |
or less under the influence of drink at the time. On
information received, the police arrested the muir
derer. and he will be brought to this city by the XII
Iauea, to be held for trial.
MoHAIR GooDs-At jamestown, n. Y, the firm |
q Hall, Taylor & Co. are large manufacturers of
dress goods, and have lately begun to manufacture
mohsir cloth, from the wool of the Angora goat, bred
in California. A sample of the first lot thus made
was received in California a month since, and is
highly spoken of. as comparing favorably with foreign
manufacture Of the same material. The cloth is
firm, and presents a very fine lustre, but it is thought
that with more experience high perfection will soon
be reached by the manufactures. With this success
will come an active demand for all the mohair that

proposed to consume 200, 900 pounds of AngOra
wool per annum, and doubtless other manufacturers
will go largely into the business. Some attention is
being paid to the raising Of Angoras in these islands,
and we learn that the graded bloods are succeeding
well on Hawaii and Maui.
A DAY OF AccIpENTs.-Such was last Saturday,
when, at about the same time in the afternoon, 8
series of collisions of carriages occurred on Fort
street, and vehicles were upset at either extremity Of
the district. THE accident on Fort street, was caused
by q carriage coming in contact with an express
wagon left carelessly standing without a driver, and
in the runawsys and general smash which ensued

thrown violently from his carriage and badly stunned
and bruised, but happily sustaining no serious in

time had narrow escapes; but altogether, consider

DR.. KESEALy, who defended Arthur Orton with
such zeal and pertinacity in the Tichborne case, has
just been elected at Stoke-upon-Trent as q member of
the British House Of Commons In an address to
"a fellow electors " he declared that he belonged to no
party, but TO old Albion, and if they would only do
him the poor honor of electing him to the Imperial
P Parliament, he would make England prosperous,
happy and free in ten years 1t is not clear what
