MEASURING WooD.-The new ordinance requir-
ing the measurement of oil wood brought into the
city for sale, caused some little excitement at first
among the wood merchants. They really imagined
It to be an infringement upon their rights but when
they began to see its operation and that it was as
fair for themselves for the purchaser and that it
was only securing justice to ALL and above all, when
they were brought in contact with the good natur-
ed Wood Neasurer, Mr. REr,cKrR, all their opposi-
ton ceased, and now they consider it almost priv
iege 10 have him measure their wood. Several very
iaushable scenes occurred, however, before tie bus
mess was fully understood; and some of the wood
merchants, imagined that their wagon beds, out Of
sheer nodesty, had shruns from the effect of the
scrutlnizing gaze and measuring stick of Reticker
70 such an extent, that instead of containing three
quarters ola cord as they acas had done they could
not be made to hold more than half a cord.

may soon be induced to bury the tomahawk, and be-
cultiyators Of their beautiful SOIL and yet be
stored to the privileges of their ancient fathers, and
Islaels God be their God

Prigging and murder is punished with death

we don't take any complaints from furrjntrs,

his pick and shovel and his gold, and then
holes him. A few of the Diseased leaves wills

We have several coalporters out here with
tracks about everlasting fires, which is tan
~talizing, as fuel is scarce and the nights cold.
Some missionaries has also been out here dis
t~ributing bibles, and many Of the boys are so
sharply exercised about the Golden Calf that
it's thought we'll have a great revival shortly
The tracts is principally used for wadding. A
minister arrived here last Sunday, and told usin
his sermon, withtears in his eyes, that we could
not serve God and mammon; but we found him
next day out in the placer, with ashovel inhis

From The Tictsburg Whig {.
Late from the pacific

The Brig Project arrived at New Orleans
from Chogres on the l4th. She lett the latter
place on the LIST, There we're about HOO en-
igrants at Panama, aud four or five hundred
on their way lhithes from Chagres. This
is a large number Of " enterprising mem
to be confined within so small d compass, ca
ger to get on and impatient Of the high prices,
Of provisions. 1t is hoped, however, that no
selves or between them and the natives. The
prospects of emiglants on the lsJhmus were
a little dark when the Project left. News Of
sickness there had spread far aud wide, and
prevented coasters from touching. Reports
were also prevalent at Panama that it was ex-
extremely doubtful whether the California
would soon return, as the probability was, her
crew would desert on arriving at San Francis,
co.
Lieutenant Lewis, who came by the Project
describes the emigrants as an extremely fine
looking body of men, They were, of course,
extremely anxious to get on, but he entertain
ed few fears Of misconduct on account OF their
detention.
We find the above news in The Picayune,
from which paper we take the following exs
tracts!
"The steamer Oregon reached Panama on
the evening Of the 23d ult., and was expected
to leave San Francisco between the 10Th ana
18th inst. She would take three hundred
passengers on board, those provided with tick
ets, being the emigrants carried down by the
Falcon. There would then remain, with the
successive arrivals OF those on their way a.
cross the Isthmus, not lever than 1900, for
whom means of going forward were to be
found. The Brig Belfast, had been chartered
by a party Of 200 emigrants, and she left Pana-
ma on the morning of the 25th ult., en- route
for the island of Tobogu, where she was to
take in water. There was a whaler in the port
when Lieut.. Lewis left, which a party Of emf
grants were endeayoring to purchase with tho
view of fastening on to San Francisco The
want of shipping was the grand obstacle al
Panama, which indeed was increasing to in
tonsity.
The us, ste mship Lexington was report.
ed off Valparaiso on the Gin Of December,
with S4OO,O 900 in California gold on b,ard.
The proclamation of Gen. Smith, interdict-
ing foreigners from wishing the gold Placers.
had just reached Callao when Lieut.. Lewis
left. 1t had occasioned a great sensation
%disappointm mt, Of course, being the princi-
pal feeling therein. The latest accounts
from California at Callao, were, that recent
discoveries lad been made of gold placers
which were of immense value; they exceeded
by far the preceding representations of the
precious metal on the Sacramento. The mer-
chants at Valparaiso had made enormous profits
on invcs men's Of goods, provisions &c, to
California. One cargo had been sold at 0
clear gain oil $4,000.

NovrL Use OF A KIss,-A gOat, not many
days since, and not many miles from Lewis
ton, returning from a sleigh ride, on arriving
at the p%aternal mansion of his lady, gave
and received a kiss of friendship, as he sup
posed; but alas! the sequel will show how
much he was mistaken, for the door having
been closed, he overheard the following con-
versation;
Why, Lucy, amt you ashamed to kiss a
man out there all alone Nth him? When
was a girl l would not have done it for the
world"
"No. ma, am not" answered Lucy "lor
only kissed him to smell his breath, to see if he
hadn't been drinking"

BY REV. J, LYONS.
Along the smooth and slender wires
The sleepless he aids run,
Fast as4he clear and living rays
Go streaming from the sun;
No peals or flashes heard or seen
Their wO ndrous flight belray,
And yet their words are quicker felt
In cities far away.
Not summers heat, nor winters hail,
Can check their rapid coursei
They meet unmoved the fierce winds rage
The rough waves sweeping force;
In the long night Of rain and wrath,
As in the blaze Of day,
They rush with news Of veal or woe,
To thousands far away
But faster still than tidings borne
On that electric cord,
Rise the pure thoughts of him who loves
The Christians life and Lord
OF him who, taught in smiles and tears
With %fervent lips to pray,
Maintains high converse here on earth
With bright worlds far away.
Ay, though no outward wish is breathed,
Nor outward answer given,
The signing of that humble heart,
Is known and felt in heaven;
Those long trail wires may bend and break
Those viewless heralds stay,
ButFaith'sla last words shall reach the thron,
Of God, though far away,
