discovery theimpressiol gained ground that 1t might
be the remains of DIR. Parkman, alleged TO have
been murdered BY Professor Webster some months
ago. ;;..
The actuaintances and friends of the deceased
weresent for and much excitement ensued. Onseeing
il tie exclamation from every one present was al
must simultaneous, that's the body of DR.. Parkman
The truth of this astounding discovery was 50 tho
roughly impressed on the minds OF Tire spectators,
thai it was some time before they concluded to ex-
anime more minuteY the dead figure before them
As they did so, however, they felt more and more
convinced of the correctness OF their first impress
sions. They found that the size Of The frame, the
long attenuated limbs, the apparent age, the pecu

FEMALE Rior.-A Geographic despatch 10 the
Baltimore American from Pittsburg, on The Isl
inst, says:
ABOUT eleven O'Clock this moTning one hundred
females (rather curious, but so says our despatch)
entered Graf, Lindsey Sc Co.'s Rolling Mill in the
9Th Ward and drove out Eastern puddlers whowere
working at lower wages. They then went to an
other Mill, but the lords of creation proved more
courageous and stood their ground. During the
scufile, however, one or two of the police were
slightly wounded. The Mayor soon arrived and the
fair assaants went home. The mills will all be
in operation again tomorrow. -, ' =. y, e.:.

place at Sacramento City, caused by The overflow
ing of the river Nearly the eptiEe city was cover
ed with water Large numbers OF cattle and olher
property have been swept away. The oyerilowing
Of the waters has washed out immense quantities OF
gold from the earth, where it had before remained
undiscovered. AT the mines near Stockton, the Chi
lians made quite fierce attack upon the Americans
working there. Several of the ASSISTANTS were kill
ed and number wounded on both sides, and many
of the Chilians taken prisoners. 1t is believed that
this outrage will so incense the Americans that they
will rot rest until the offenders are driven entirely
out Of The county. The excitement had become
intense.
