their increase is surprising. They are now, ac-
cording to all accounts, establishing the nucleus
of a great city on the shores Of the Pacific
while some of their leaders cherish the most
ambitious objects.
" By the Los Angeles Star, we learn that the
price paid by them for the rancho was one hun

thousand dollars of this were paid down, the

of which can be irrigated. The Santa Anna
river runs through it, furnishing large and

covered with pines, sufficient to supply with
lumber all southern California for years. The
improvements to be Immediately made will be
Of great benefit to that country.
This settlement commands the Cajon Pass,

A FirRY WisDmiLL.-Onc Of the most
singular aud striking things in conncc-
ton with the fire occurred on the cor.
nsr of Sansorne and Pine SITS. where had
recently been erected n windmill. The
flames had enveloped it, and all had
fled from the house, when the brake by
which the machinery IL stopped was
burned and the wheel at once turned
To the wind, and commenced revolving
with great rapidity. Round and round
il flew. scattering sparks and brands
from it's burning circumference like
scintiIaiiona from blacksmith's forge.
The sheet of fame that broke over il
seemed only TO increase in speed, and
even when the whole hee. was wrapr-
ell in himes il continued to revolvc. Ii
was strange sight 10 see that fiery cir
ele moving round amid the flames and
smoke OF the building. Not until all
save the rim was burned did it cease to
r.volve, and then it WAS slowly and by
degrees that il yielded, nS if exhausted
by the furious al ackt of he fire. One
moment it stood. then, tot,ering, fell in
10 the RUNS bcneath.-S1a Francisco

CnRoMATIc PAiNTiNo.-Mr. Albert
Bierstadt has opened an Academy at
Masonic Hall, corner of Church and
School streets, for instruction in the
above art. Mr.. b. claims an improve
mcnt on the old method Of Chromatic
Painting, by which he is enabled TO
produce pictures Of great elegance,
which might readily be mistaken at a
short distance for linc-cngravings or
mezzotitts. We recently examin ed
some specimens at his rooms, and much
admired their great beauty, one, espec.
tally, IN elaborately finished landscape
colored to nature, a peculiarly, we be
lieve, that the old system of Crayon
drawing does not admit Of, was well
worthy Of note, bearing a strong resem-
blance TO fine painting in water colors.
We would direct the attention Of people
dcslrous Of instruction in drawing to
this branch Of art, combining likewise
the accomplishment OF painting. Mr..
Bierstadt is q young gentleman well
skilled in his profession, and we hope
he may receive liberal encourage
ment from our citizens his terms are
reasonable and his rooms are now op-
en- for visitors where he himself WI,
further inform them Of the particular
merits Of his art.

TIE YANxyE PoTHERINo THE Barr
isHERs.-Dr. J. V. c. Smith Of Boston
is a visitor at the great fair in London
and gives very interesting description
Of il in letters to the Boston Transcript.
He states that Mr.. A. &. Hobbs Of New
York is there, and that he created
sensation by picking, in fifteen minutes,
with crooked nail, what is called the
Chubb lock- Chubb being the name of
the man, we presume, who invented it.
1t was telIeved in England that this
lock could not possibly be picked, and
the archives OF the government and
other valuables were entrusted to it for
security. Mr.. Hobbs offered $4,000
for the privilege Of trying to open the
lock Of the safe in which Victoria's dia-
mond, valued at $l0,O0O,OOO is de-
posted nights at the fair-he to have
the diamond, We suppose in case he
succeeded but they dared not lie, him
90 near ii with his crooked nail. A re-
ward Of two hundred guineas is offered
to whoever will open an English pad
Jock, and Mr.. Hobbs intended to give it
a try at his first leisure. Those ac-
quainted with his extraordinary me
chanical endowments believed that lie
would succeed.
Mr.. Herring of New York is there
with one of his counting room safes.-
Over il are these words "This con-
tains two hundred sovereigns. The key
is at the office OF the u. s. Commits
sioner-at the service of any one, and
the money shall be the reward Of the

SBIP BuiLpisG IN MATrAPoisETr.--
This thriving village is taking a high
rank among thore places distinguished
for their naval architecture. Several
ships Of fine construction aud elegant
model have been launched there this
scas'n. In addition TO these there are
now at thar place two ships upon The
stocks. One of these, in the yard Of
Josiah Holmes a Son, is Of about iC0
tons burhrn and is contracted by Mes
srs. Charl,s X. Tucker & Co. OF New
Bedford The other, in the yard o.
Wilson Barstow, is of somewhat small
er dimensions, and is built tor Mr.. Ed
ward q. Jones, Of New Bedford. In
the same yard the keel OF Il ship of
about 500 tons burlhcn has been laid, TO
be owned by Mr.. Edmund Allen Of
Fairhaven. All these ships are .nteh-
ded for the whale fishery. In The har-
bor of Ala,tapoiscu is now lying the
bark K. l.. Barstow, (caled after her
owner) nearly ready for sea. Although
but 20S tons she is perfect gem olship
building, being very short, clipper
model with good deck room, II good
whaleship and fast sailer united, She
was modelled and built by Mr.. Gram
dali, Of Newport young gentleman
who at an early age has exhibited n re-
remarkable talent in his proie ssion.-
She will be commanded by Capt. Ia
ber, of Mat,apoisett and will sail in
few days for the South Atlantic.
Thus .irty-eight ships will be added
to the whaling fleet Of this port during
the present season. While rejoicing at
this proof Of the wealth and enterprise
of our community, we may also express
wish that the returns of such adven-
lures may be commensurate with their
mugnitude.-Ntto Bedford Mercury.
