ERE In YREKA.

Loss E,timoterf at freaty thousand dollars
We are informed by Messrs. c. H
Robinson and j. U'Connor that de
structivc fire occurred in the town o.
Yreka, Siskiyou county, on the night o.
the lth instant. ias
The fire was first discovered il the
old Ell Dorado at midnight The street
being marrow the flames Mt once passed
across and caught in a house known a,
the Regalia. From these two houses
the confagration extended rapidly to-
wards the lower end of the town, con.
suming the houses on both sides Of the
street. The Willow Spring Ranch,
Clark & Richardson's blacksmith shop
Parker's Round Tent, three stables, and
several houses not recollected by oui
informants were consumed in q few
moments. The Ere was checked By
tearing down the house next to that Of
Col. Freaner. 5 en
Mr.. Parker, in the burning of the
goods stored in his round tent, sustained
u loss Of at least $4,000. He was in
San Francisco at the time Of the FIRE
We are not informed as to the amount
of loss sustained by other persons. The
total loss is estimated at $40, 900.
Tho fire is supposed to be undoubted.

This is the case or not it becomes the
citizens Of CALIFORNIA; mining towns ts
be ever on the watch for incendiarism
or carelessness. 1t is almost impossible
to rcsist tho progress of conaagration

INrLuENcE OF RAILROADS ON THE VALuE
OF LAxD.-The experience Of Massa.
chusetts, New York and Ohio, affords
abundant illustrations Of tho great ad-
dition impaired to the value Of lands
and other real property by the construc-
tion Of railroads. In Massachusetts,. for
example, railroads have more than dou-
bled the value Of property, Ms exhibited
in the Auditors reports. and have re-
duced the average rate Of taxation N
the State more than one half. The in
crease Of value is not confined to the
Immediate vicinity Of lines, though Of
course greatest in those localities; in
proof of which we may cite the fact that
in 1849 the value Of property in these
counties of Massac chuset It's tl,foug gh which
no railway passes exhibited an increase,
compared with tic. value in 1S40, Of
SI56, 100000, rs the effect Of the indi-
rect power Of such improvements. In
Ohio, where the works are Of more, re-
cent growth, and where, as yet, no CON-
plcte system is in operation, CORE spond.
ing results have been announced from
time to time, less general, perhaps, in
their operation, but serving sufficiently
to foreshadow the advantages soon to be
diffnsed over the State.
The current number of De Bows Re-
view contains statement prepared by
the promoters Of the New Orleans and
Opelousas railroad, which embodies facts
OF similar nature, but less generally
known, with regard to the Southern
States. Georgia lands, that were in
the market in lS46 at from ten to fifty
cents per acre, commanded in 1S49-
when the Chattanooga railroad was in
opcration--from ten to twenty dollars
The same road, in its extension from
Chattanooga to Nashville, Tennessee,
pissed through the counties of Franklin,
Bedford, Rutherford, and Davidson and
the Auditors books for these counties
show m advance in the value OF their
property Of s2,554 639 in ono year. So
Of the Mobile and Ohio railroad: lands
that had been in tho market without a
purchaser for thirty years, have since
the laying out of that road advanced to
three, and in many instances MS high as
eight dollars per acre. In South Caro-.
lima, again, Colonel Gadsden, State Su-
perintendent of railronds, nf6rms " that
the immense increased value impaired
to lands is from 500 to 5000 per cent

PREMATURE BuRIAL.---Thc Albany
Register, in the course Of an srticlc on
this subject, relates the following in
stnncc, Of which the editor was pcrfect-
| ly cognizant
Some years ago, We were perfectly
cognisant to an occurrence of this kind,
which was of the most hearl-rending
character. The wife Of q gentleman was
taken suddenly Ill in church, and was
taken to her home in n state Of syncope.
In a few hours she partially recovered,
but Immediately relnpsed, aud never
again showed any signs consciousness.
She lay in this condition nearly two
days, battling the skill Of the physicians,
and then it was thought, and, as there
was almost every reason to believe, died.
No signs Of breathing could be detected,
the limbs became rigid and cold, and
the eyes remained open, with the fixed
CLASSY stare Of death but there was no
change in the color of the skin.
This was the only reason in the world
for supposing that dissolution had not
takoh place. Tho poor bereaved hus-
band, almost .rantic at the loss Of the
young and beautiful wife, whom he ul-
most idolized, clung with desperation to
the hope limned in her face, and long
resisted ,he unanimous decision OF the
ph hysicians that she was certainly dead.
They told him, what was doubtless true.
that it sometimes though very rarely.
happens that there is no discoloration
for days and even weeks after disso u.
ton had taken place. But still he re-
sisted, and it was not until three DAYS
had passed without the fain.est signal
Of change or sign Of life, that he finally
gave up, and suffered the burial to take
place. She was cutombe in vault.
Months paseed. A cemetary having
been laid out, the husband purchased
and beautiied lot, erected an elegant
moauncnt in it, and when all was ready,
sapcrintcnded the removal Of the bod y
of his wife from the vault to its final
resting place. When the vault was
opened he RENE embercd the circumstan.
ces Of her death, above detailed, and q
desire suddenly seized him to once more
behold the corpse. By his direction
the coffin lid was removed. The spec
tacie which presented itself was incon-
ceiSably horrible, for it showed that she
had been buried alive. She had turned
quito over upon her side. she had clutch
ed her innils into the coffin until her fin-
gers had bled, portions of her grave
clothes were torn, and in her horrible
struggles shc had cont,ived to carry her
hand to her head, and had plucked from
ita mass Of hair, with portions of the
cap that covered it! apr8. aM
81 Tbe poor man never recovered from
the shock Of. that awful spec taele. He
was borne away senseIess, and for tht
rest OF his weary life was an ilsserlr
broken and miserable being. 9a .-a4.]
