The "Wild Man" spoken Of last week as hav-
ing been brought to this place for protection, is
since dead. We are indebted to Serif Pratt, in
whose charge he was left, for the following par
tcuars: He talked with no one, excepting a
Norwegian prisoner, and in him only in discon-
nected sentences; but from what he said it is
gathered that he was Norwegian, and called
himself "Johannas, that he had wife and chill.
in Muskego, near Fox river, and was continual
y muttering TO himself that his money had been
taken from him. There is somethin very sin
gularin the case. He had the appearance of nat
1ral brightness, and had probably been reduced
to his then condition by some unexplained ca
lamity. He had been horribly burnt, and died
from the effects Of it. He received christian
burial, and has, unknown, passed from the world.
The following description may lead TO his recog-
milton He was about feet 10 inches in height;
brown hair, Every little grey) light eyes, spare
built, would weigh about l 80 pounds, and 40 OF
SO years of age Wa'lhesha Dem.

The Dean of Bristol has been making re-
markable speech, at Bristol lately. He said
among other things, "The Tractarians are al
ways happy to appeal to the fathers for their au-
thority. | mean to follow them, and to call for
one moment attention to a sentence of one faith
err a most eminent one, Father Ambrose, who
SAYS, There is scarce heresy that has ever en-
tered into the Church OF Christ, except through
the way of the clergy; but the truth and sim
plicity of the Gospel has ever been retained by
the fidelity of the Iaity' I am sure I speak for
the clergy ofthe Established Church to you, the
laity, when say we confidently commit to you
the present subject" Loud applause and cheer
ING followed this speech.

Matters az California. Since the last arrival
nothing of particular interest has occurred to
mark the progress of California. The Cholera
has laid many in the dust. In San Francisco
since its appearance, the number of deaths has
been about 35 while in Sacramento they have
probably reached 1000. The disease however,
is abating, and the deaths in either city do not
average over or 10 per day. This mortality
has prostrated in great measure. the business
of the large cities, and consequently affected
every locality.
THE MINES.-In consequenceEof the chol-
era, during the approaching winter, much lar
ger number of miners will remain in the noun
tans than ever before, and consequently more
gOlQ VIII Dc taken Out tudu dtly previous
winter season. Much attention is being paid to
quartz mining. The Mariposa mines are yield
ing good return, notwithstanding the machin-
ery is not so powerful as desirable. Within a
short time past, however, another quartz vein of
great richness has been discovered between the
South Fork of Feather and Yuba rivers. Here
tofore the mines have been only scratched orer,
and scientific mining has only just commenced
When fully under way land the requisite amount
of capital actively employed, the result will be
even more wonderful than before
The Sacramento Times says eve have
seen persons from the various parts of the mines,
from whom we learn that the cholera has spread
to but very limited extent"
The Yu6a mines have generally yielded from
So to s 0 per diem to each man.
Few Real Estate sales have occurred at Neya-
da City, Rough & Ready and other towns.
MORE FIRES.--A very destructive fire took
place at Sacramento City. Among the build
ings DESTROYED are four large hotels
EXTRA SESSION.-The call for an extra
session Of the Legislature is under full advise
ment, and not altogether improbable, as the nee
essities of the State demand it. The act of Con-
gross making Benicia port of entry, has called
forth much discussion, and exciting no little as
constituent 1t is hoped Congress will repeal
the law.
The Indian Difficulties continue, but are not
of an alarming character. Several skirmishes
have taken place, but were attended with the loss
of only or lives on either side.

MISCELLANEOUS .

BURNING OF THE COLUMBUS.-sve learn from Mr.
Cowdery Agent of Messrs Adams Il Co. between hee and
Norfolk that last night the steamer Georgia off the
Wolf Trap light boat thoy hailed by the keeper who
informed them that several of the of the Columbus
were there Capt Cannon mmediase answered the signal
and with much difficulty and wiasu danger succeeded
getting them all board the Georgia where they were
kindly cared for and brought up nc city this morning
The particulars of the burning ibis unfortunate steamer
gather from Mr. Cowdery. appears that there
spacatch used the smoke pip of the Columbus and
il have become choke2 from tSe damp atmosphere,
which prevented the heat and smoke from escaping that
combustion inevitable The found there
very little steam generating and upon investigation could
discover mpedime2 the wood s dry and in fine
order just this crisis about three O'Clock on Thursday
morning. the flames burst from the ues and spread
most nsananeously over the whole boat The officers and
attempted reach the boats bat there was only one
that loose with the persons saved which, however
had the plug but tho engineer stopped it, II
with the greatest difficulty they Kept her from sinking on
caps they succeeded in reaching light boat which was
FIVE miles off. Here they taken care OF until Captain
Cannon arrived.
The freight very light as We stated Yesterday There
six horses on board that lost belonging

truth that Captain Hoingshead his mate L. Goodwin and

RAIN ON THE ROOF.

When the humid showers gather
Over oil the starry spheres,
And the melancholy darkness
Gently wceps In rainy tears,
IT'S a Joy 10 press the pillow
or cottage chamber bed,
And to listen to the patter
OF the soft rain overhead.
Every tinkle on the shingles
Has an echo in the heart,
And thousand dreary fancies
Into busy being start;
And a thousand recollections
Weave their bright hues into woofr
AS listen 10 the patter
Ofthe soft rain on the roof.
There, in fancy, comes my mother,
As she used TO, years agone,
To survey the infant sleepers
Ere she left them ill the dawn.
| can see her bending DER me,
As listen TO the strain
Which IS played upon The shingles
BY the patter Of the rain.
Then my little seraph sister,
With her wings md waving hair,
And her brieht-eycd cherub brother,
A serene angelic pair;
Glide around my wnkeful pillow
With their prise or mild reproof,
AS listen 10 the murmur
OF the soft rain on the roof.
And another comes TO thrill me
With her eyes delicious blue;
forget as gazing on her
That her heart was all untrue;
l remember that loved her
As l ne'er may love again,
And my hearts quick pulses yibrate
To the patter OF the rain.
There is naugh,in arts bravuras
That can work with such spell,
In the spirits pure deep fountains,
Whence the holy passions SWELL
As that melody Of nature
That subdued, subduing strain,
Which ia played upon the shingles.
BY the patter of the rain.

THE ORATO r.

,,e stood amid an anxious ihrong,
His brow was palc and higll,
And melancholy was the lieht
or his dark searching eye,
A trembling smile was on ms Up,
A smile of light and love-, al
A. if the thoughts that filled his sou'
Were cleaning from above.
He spoke, and every lip was husheo'
And every brow was raiseo;
And every eve in that dense throng
Upon the speaker eazea- IN,
And eyery heart with rapture thrilled,
To hear the words that tell
Like the mysterious voice that fills
The murmuring ocean shell.
No, softer melts bird g low song
Upon the summer breeze
Not gentler dies the breeze away
Among the trembling trees
Than came the words, the thrilling words,
From his deep throbbing heart,
And yet he knew not, gifted one,
The power of his high art.
Now like the sounding ocean surge,
Came forth his burning words;
Now like the voice of many harps,
Now like the voice OF biTds;
Now like the murmur of lutte,
On soft .Folian strings,
Where evening zephyrs pass them by
And touch them with their wings.
He was mos, gifted, yet his brow
Had something of despair.
Alas alas what could have ieit
SO much of sadness there
He smoke 10 me of earlier years,
And trembled like bird,
When, mid the music and the mirth,
The "sfiIy night" be heard.
An he was sad. knew il well,
Tho much he strovc 10 hide
The gush Of feeling that swelled up
His bosom like tide.
Some memories sad'ning in his heart,
Were Weakened by that strain;
He smiled most sadly, and his smile
Was deeply frausht with pain;
And then he turned aside, and-I-
Meier saw his face again.
