BODY FoUND.-A late arrival from Hawaii states
that there was quite an excitement pervading the
Hamakua district near Honokaa on account OF the
finding near that place of the body OF a man sup
posed to be a chinaman hanging to a limb OF a
tree. The appearance seemed to indicate that the
man had been lassoed, dragged along the road
and then hauled up by the aid of the Iasso to the
limb of the tree on which the body was found.
A THIEF's REwARD-Uma q native, and noted for
his thieving prOpensities, was again before the Police
Court on the 18th inst, charged with the robbery OF
two silver watches from q brother native, and the
course of the evidence disclosed that Una had also a
prOclivity for purloining clothing, chickens. gin, and
in fact almost everything and anything that he came
across. In the present instance he was found guilty
of larceny and sentenced to pay a fine and also to be
imprisoned for one year.

Won Mueller, u distinguished botanist and scientist
on the bark of the T" Waffle Tree showing the pro-
fit to be derived from its systemat cultivation.
The bark is in great demand in Europe for tanning
purposes, is worth $50 a ton, and the tree it is said
will grow luxuriantly where nothing else will. We
shall again refer to this subject at length.
Nh. EDIToR.-In the Gazette of the 18th inst, is
an article on the abuse of legal power process and in
which the writer seems to attempt to whip the Attor-
ney General aud his Deputy over the back of the
Marshal and his Deputy. The writer in question is
as well known as if his name had been signed to the
article, and it is well known also in this community
to what it refers, viz, the arrest Of one George Nun
dens If the writer Of the article in question should
wish all the facts of the case to appear. let him state
it in an open manner, and not by subterfuge attempt
to imply a wrong action to faithful and honest off
GERS.
~S@ What would the ADVERTISER do without
the Gazeae?" This simple question was coolly
asked US by our contemporary, and supplemented
by an assertion that our comments on the points
heralded by our worthy friend are futile. Our re-
ply to the question must be a Yankee one, i. e.
by asking another-what would the Gazette do
without the ADVERTISER. We candidly admit being
often pressed with want OF space in which to elu-
cidate upon many subjects suggested by our
friend. We often wish that be would devote
more space to throwing light upon the various
topics which he merely touches instead of leaving
the reader in q fog, or misleading the public by
statements that will not bear corrOboration.

ed toward a span of horses coming down the road,
rearing and ~plunging and attached to a carriage in
which sat a lady who bravely but vainly eudeavored
to control the manageable equines. The corner of
Kuikui street was reached, when a portion of the
light carriage gave away, throwing the lady to the
ground. and but for the providential interposition of
some German man-of- wars men in arresting the
progress of the now thoroughly frightened animals,
