The adjoining frame house, occupied by Ed

purchased it, with the lot, from Mr. Selby Par
ker, for 1850, was also entirely destroyed, to-
gether with good part Of the furniture A
policy of $400 covers the loss of the house; but
couple of hundred dollars are probably lost by
the destruction Of the furniture.

We see it stated in many papers-and have
quoted the item--that seventy-fve million dol
lars worth Of gold was last year received from
California. The United States mint reports show
the receipt Of more than one hundred and five
millions; much was used in manufactures, some
isprcscved in its crude state and large quantities
were carried direct to other countries The whole
yield could not be less than one hundred and
fifty millions, It will probably be nearly doubled
this year.

LIE Mardt Gras.

Tuesday this year, and was to be celebrated at

French name Of Tuesday, and gra, is the word
for fat; and le Mardi grds is o synonyme for our
,Strorc Tuesday-the day before Ash Wednesday.
1t Is pronounced MAR-DE GRAB. 1t is the last day
Of the carnival, where that is observed: but in
New Orleans the carnival is oil compressed into
this one day. That is, as much that is extrava-
CANT, absurd, and ridiculous, as can be enacted in
one day, is faithfully performed. The procession
along the principal streets is Of the most gro
tesque character. Punch and Judy, jolly mil
lcrs, Mother Goose, counterfeit Philippians and
Indians caricatures Of dsudyism, Quakerism and
all other isms, mimick drunken sailors, men with
long noses, harlequins, men feathered, GATED and
combed like chickens, knights Grant, brigands
and everything grotesque, may be seen and the
people on the sidewalks and in the doors and
windows have to look for all sorts of missiles
Flour is thrown by handfuls and so arc almonds,
kisses and torpedoes; while the merry laugh and
Jolly shout make the welkin ring and at night
the theatre, the opera, the masquerade, and all
other scenes of gayety, are peculiarly brilliant
ON the following morning the scene is reversed
II is Ash Wednesday the first day of Lent. The
churches are draped in mourning, and season
of fasting, humiliation and prayer is commenced
which is not to terminate till Good Friday il
over and the dawn of Easter at hand.

days, for the privilege Of passing on in safety.
