Roast Ptg.-We have always admired Charles
Lambs account of the origin of roast pig in China
Ching Ping, 1t seems, had suffered his fathers
house to be burned down; the out houses were
burnt along with the house and in one of these
the pigs by accident were roasted to a turn
Memorable were the results for all future China
and future civilization Ping, who Cike all China
besides) had hitherto eaten his pig raw now for the
first time tasted it in state of torrefaction or
course he made his peace with his father bv a mart
(,radition says leg) OF the new dish. The father
was so astounded with the discovery that he burned
his house down once year for the sake of coming
at an nnnual banquet of roast pig. curious prying
sort of fellow one Chang Pang got to know this.
He also burned down a house with pig in it, and
had his eyes opened. The secret was i'll kept-the
discovery spread-mauy great conversions were
made-houses were blazing in every part of the
Celestial Empire. The insurance Offices took the
matter up One Chong Pong, detected in the very
act Of shutting up pig in his drawing room and
then firing train, was indicted on charge Of arson
The Chief Justice of Pekin, on that occasion, re-
quesed an officer OF the court to hand him piece
of the roast pig, the corpus dsct for pure curiosity
led him to taste but within two days after it was
observed that his lordshps town house was burned
down. In Short all China apostatzed to the new
faith and it was not until some centuries had
passed, that great genius arose, who established
the second era in history of roast pig, by showing
that it could be had without burning down house,

A Freak Of Fortune.-Thousands of returned
Californians will probably recollect the firm of
Priest, Lee u Co, at Sacramento. They estab-
lshed of the first trading houses at that place,
before the town was laid out. They commenced
with small capital, and in eighteen months were
the possessors OF immense wealth. Two years ago
the fra became embarrassed in consequence of
heavy losses. A. that time Barton Lee, ESQ, one
of the serior partners in the house, was the
wealthiest man in Sacramento, his property being
estimated, and probably not much over estimated
at million and half of dollars but he lost all in
the reverses which involved himself and partners
We are informed by a late number of the Sacra.
mento Transcript, that Mr. Lee is now at the
Sandwich Islands, engaged in his former occupa-
ton, as house carpenter

From Santa Fc,-The ST. Louis par RS have the
following from Santa Fe:
There is nothing of exciting interest from Santa
Fe The Indians have become friendly in the
vicinity of the city and along the route with the
exception Of the Navajoes, who keep up the prac.
tice of taking care of all the mules and effects of
the whites, when they chance TO find them un:
guarded. There has been some new discoveries
OF gold made near Santa Fe, which are beginning
10 b worked TO great advantage The city was
very quiet, only two murders having occurred since
the last arrival of the mail Some twenty families,
bound for the Salt Lake, to join the Mormons,
have arrived al Socorro, and intend proceeding at
once 10 Utah.
There is great excitement all through the lower
part Of the country about some rich gold discove-
RES on the ella. There are now out near the cele
hraed Copper Mines, which is on the head waters
of the ella, and about one hundred and fifty miles
from Socorro, though not at some points more than
seventy miles from The Rio del Nore, number of
mining parties, from Socorro and its neighborhood,
who are actively engaged in digging the earth
and washing the ore. The reports from there show
that the business is very promising. One party of
three men have succeeded in working an ounce OF
gold a day, or over FIVE dollars to each hand.
The excitement is spreading, and lriies are
now making up to sart out from the Rio Aba 10
country, one hundred miles below this. 1t is high.
ly probably from al can learn now, that the gold
dep slls on the Ga, not far frOm our settlements,
are quite rich and extensive.

Death from Charcoal AT Fort Wayne, Indiana,
recently, TWO young Germans, named John Strung
and DERRICK Reese, were found dead in their bed,
while third, son Of Mr.. Robert Armstrong, was
barely alive. On the preceding evening, upon re-.
firing to their room, they had placed in 1t q small
stove without pil :, put in some coal, and set the
coal ON fire. Young Armstrong was lying by the
door Of the room, where lie had evidently made
his way to escape; but Icing too weak to open it,
had fallen to the floor The small portion of pure
air that entered under the door doubt saved him.
Let this be a warning to others. All should re.
member that burning coal in tight room in which
persons are sleeping, will produces certain death.

A New Fashion Of Cheering Tobacco.--A Ger
man doctor, in work just published, mentions
new mode of enjoying the weed, which is as fol-
lows:
Smoking is little customary in Egypt except
among the Turks and Arabs, the Mog rains pre-
ferrng to chew. The blacks of the Gesun make
concentrated infusion of this weed which they
call bacca;" they take mouthful of it, and roll
the savory liquid round their teeth for quarter of
an hour before ejecting it. They are so addicted
to this practice that they invite their friends to
I" bacca" an European does his dinner. The
vessel containing the tobacco juice makes the round
of the party, and profound silence ensues, broken
only by the harmonious gurgle of the deIectable
fluid. Conversation is carried on only by signs"

Another awful accident occurred on the Hudson

negligence. The train from NewYerk for POUCH
keepsie was stopped the track, near a curve, to
enable the conductor to eject two passengers, who
had not paid enough fare by 20 cents to carry them
to the next stopping place. The passengers re-

east track to the west one, thus causing tremen-

degree that several of them were rendered insens.
