from this great work, are inroncrvable. The

INCREASE OF THE POPULATION The San

the Custom-H House, ut San Frnncisco.a table
showing the The arrival Tapd Lnses Of pas
scngers during The past month, bf Which Il, ,ap-
pears that the increase of population has been
5,53l-of which $3.50, or nearly half, were from
China. The increase of Ieinatrs within the
month was 3S7; OF children, 1919. To obtain
the true increase of population, considerable
addition, probably 20 per cent, should be. made
to the number of passengers appearing npon
the Custom House books rs having arrived, as

the sailing vessels of China, brought more pas
sengcrs Than were returned to Tue Custom

MELANCHOLY AccIpEXT.--An accident OCCUR
red ut tho upper worshop of the South Carnlipa
Rail Road Company on Wednesday morning
last, which we regret to state, has resulted in
the death of Julins p. Strobel, young man Of
much promise in his calling, aged about scye,l-
teen years Young Strobcl, it appears, was
sent To do some work on the boiler of the loco
motive Cherokee, which had been in use. that
morning, but which had been in the yard some
two or three hours. He entered the nue for
this purpose, but unfortunately forgot to blow
off the steam, and, willie engaged ut work, re-
moved Il plug, which had been fastened 10 the
boiler to prevent its leaking, when qnaniiyef
steam and heated water escaped through The
aperture, and scaldcl him very severely. He
was taken 10 his residence, in Iibcrly-street,
where he died at an early hour yesterday mor,i-
ing Charleston Courier, 18th inst. - -ai
FREsnET.-We understand that there was
very high frcshet in the Saluda on Tuesday last.
The water was within one foot Of being as high
as in tho great freshet Of August, 1850. The
bridge on the State road near Mr., Hawkin''s,
twenty-five miles above this place, Ligon's
bridge, FIVE miles from this place. and Chicks
bridge, have been swept away. Wccxpectto
hear of others sharing the same fate. ~
The plantations on the river, it is feared, arc
much injured. We have only heard from Major
John Hodges place, which has suffered very
much, his loss being estimated at about S ] 900.

WHEAT CRop IN WIscossM.-A correspond.
ent wiring from Fredonia, Wis. Goth May,
says, "1'hc farmers, who have long lacked
spirtlcss dull and discouraged, in consequence
of the repeated failure of the wheat and potato
crops, are beginning to smile over the improved
prospects this spring. The winter wheat looks
excellent and were it not that many farmers,
fearing another failure, sowed less than usual,
the amount raised this year, according to pres.
cnt indications, would be unprecedented ".
