INTEREsTING.-A person writing from
San Francisco to the Newport News,
gives the following incident as having
occurred in that city:
1.-TWO very common looking persons
entered the hotel this morning, just
from the mines-a man and his wife.
The male individual looked, for the
world, like q day laborer, and the fc-
male bore clese resemblance to an
Irish scullion. She wore coarse, vulga:
brogans, and to her girdle was attached
a gold watch and chain valued at least
at two hundred dollars. The husband
left the hotel for half an hour, and re-
turned with receipt for one hundred
and fifteen thousand dollars the vulue
of the dust which he had just consigned
for transportation to Now York. This
sum has been gained by digging; the
husband dug, while the wife washed,
assisted by her little son, aged about
ten years.

Prison DIsciPLINE.-Yoking is a
new mode of torture adopted at the
Sing Sing prison in New York. We
have no sympathy with the spurious
philanthropy, that would make our
jails as luxurious and pleasant as pal
aces, but these detesta5le instruments
of torture devised by cruelty, can be
productive of no good to the criminal,
and no improvement of prison disci-
plinc =
The yoke is Of iron, five or six feet
long with staple in the middle to en-
circle the neck, and one at each end
to enclose the wrists. 1t weighs from
thirty to sixty pounds, and il SO con
trived that the person can neither stand
erect nor sit in any position in which
he will not suffer excessive pain. DR..
Fosgate says that "under the weight of
it the convict cannot retain the erect
posture for even few minutes consec-
utively, but is forced to bend forward
in his continual writhing, which brings
the entire weight of the bar upon the
lower cervical vertebra. The arms
are generally stretched to their full
length, and from steady tension of the
nerves are benumbcd, while the hands
turn purple, and at times become much
swollen" And instances OF its effect
in individual cases are also given.

Afler lis acife!- Domestic 7reach-
ery.->-A gentleman passed through
here the other day, in search of his
vile and her paramour, who had STAR
ted across the plains few days in ad
vance.
1t appears that the parties are citi-
zens of st. Louis, and during the hus-
bands protracted absence in Califor-
MIA, a friend had succeeded--by inter-
certing letters and forging others--in
inducing the wife 10 believe that he
never intended to return. A thousand
dollars, which he had sent to his wife,
had also been intercepted and a let
ter from him forged, informing her of
his desertion and marriage in Califor-
MIA.
While under the frenzied sense oi
this conviction, the most hellish arts
were applied, and she was induced in
a lash moment to throw herself into
the arms of the seducer, snd accompa
ny him to California. The feeling:
of the unhappy husband, on his return
to his desolate home--but few weeks
after the wife--for whom he had sue
cessfully toiled for many years--had
departed forever with another,an that
other his faithful .hrend,may, perhaps
be imagined, but cannot be described
We are glad to learn that the trail
of the fugitives have been discovered
and we trust this heartless destroyer
of human happiness may receive con-
dign punishment as our laws dc
not infict.- Sarannah, (Mo) Scnti-
