One Of the California journals has the fol-
lowing statement relative to a new kind of
food adopted by the Digger Indians as
they are called:
There are two considerable Indian villages
in this vicinity at the present time, and the
Indians, who looked as lean and gaunt as
half-famshed wolves during the past winter,
now appear to be enjoying all the Injuries
that an abundant supply of clover and an oc-
casonal supply Of beef and bread can afford.
The hills in the vicinity are verdant with
nice tender clover, which is devoured with as
much gusto by these poor savages as an cpl
cure would devour the most dainty DISH
They gather the clover in baskets and prepare
it for use by heating large stones and placing
a layer of clover well moistened between each
layer Of stones. 1t soon becomes ready for
use, and each one of them will eat q supply
of clover thus prepared that would almost
satisfy horse.

stock Breeding.

The object of improved breeding is to di-
minish, or, if possible to remove the defects
of live Stock, and to acquire and perpetuate
desirable properties. The generative art is to
make such selection of males and females
as are most likely to promote the object, pay
ing particular attention to maxim which is
too frequently forgotten-the governing law
of the animal kingdom-that like produces
like-that the good or bad properties of the
parents are hereditary, and are almost inyari-
ably impaired to their progeny We know
that some animals fatten faster than others,
and that they are generally Handsomely form
ed on handling them, we find the skin and
parts beneath are soft and mellow" This
"mcIlowResS" is kind of soitness and elias
tsclty perceived upon pressing the skin, and is
very favorable 81 ign of the aptitude of an
animal to tatten. These parts are the cellu-
lar membrains, which in fat animals are full
of fat; and stock possessing this mellow feel
ing is an important object, for an animal is
almost valuless though it may be possessed
of perfect symmetry, if it cannot be made fat
without very extraordinary keep.

as little bone as possible; large roun dlcg
bones indicate coarse animal; whereas flat

not be excess in one part and deficiency in
another; but that an animal should lay on
fat on every point in equal proportions, tax.
ing care to get as much as possible in those
where it is most valuable; for instance, is is
of more value on the loins, ribs, and rump,
than on the neck or hocks-therefore bredth
of the loin, length of the rump, rotundity of
frame, good deep chest, and shoulders plac-

behind them, are indispensable qualities in
good formed animal; and believe our best
Deyons possess these requirements in great

GALESA AND CHICAGO USIoS RAILROAD.
The Directors of the above road held meet
ing in Chicago on Monday. We learn from
the Press, that they have declared semi
annual dividend of eleren per cent, payable
on the first day of September. The sum to
be divided among the stockholders amounts
to one hundred and fity-three thousand dol
lars leaving surplus in the treasury of thir,
ty thousand dollars. The third division OF
the road will be opened to FreePort on the
first of September. 1t was consolidated with
the other divisions. A resolution was pass
ed authorizing the payment of the outstand
ing stock of the third division on or before
the 25th of August. The Press concludes
that ninetee per cent, for one year, and sur
plus to boot, is pretty good evidence of rail
road prosperity. Most people will be of tn
same opinion aleno Gazette.

A HUMAN SKELETON EMBEDDED IN Rock

A HUMAN SKELETON EMBEDDED lS Rock.
The GAINESVILLE Times relates the following:
"On Monday last, while some hands werc
on the Cincinnati Wilmington and Zanes-
vile Railroad, at Cusack's Mill, about five
miles out of this city, were quarrying stone,
human skeleton was found embedded in rock
on 4 bluff bank on the south branch of jon
athan's Creek, thirty feet from the surface.
A small fssurc in the rock, of perhaps two
inches in width, opened to the resting place
of these remains, which, in all human proba-
blity, may have been deposited there centu-
RIGS ago. The rock contained an indentation
of the greater part Of the body, as perfect rs
though moulded of Potter's clay From the
hip to the foot, particularly, this sarcophagus
was correct as carving could have made it.
The proportions, curvatures, DC, of the limb,
were distinct and regular, and indicated the
skeleton had been that ola person of full size.
We saw this skeleton, and the rock from
which it was taken, the day after it had been
discovered. The bones were in good state of
preservation.

vi. and VI. R.ll Road.

The receipts for July, on the Milwaukee
and Mississippi Rail Road are unexpectedly
large. The in-freightS, as was expected, have
been qaite light, but the out freights have
kept up surprisingly and the travel is steadi-
ly increasing. The aggregate receipts for the
month, foot up as follows;
Passengers $s3s4 Ga
Freight 777O 81
Total $I6,l54 So
For the corresponding month, last year,
the receipts for passengers were s2750 33
and for freight $1,000, 4S-in all s4419 76.
TEen, however, the road was only in operation
to Eagle, SO milcs-now it is running to
Evansville, 20 miles. Nevertheless. the in
crease of business has been very great, hav-
ing nearly qnadrapied, while the length of
road in use has only doubled. This is an
earnest of what our pioneer Wisconsin road
may be expected to do, when it spans our no.
bic State from the shores of Lake Michigan
to the banks of the Mississippi. The aggro
gate recci pts of the road from August Ist
1853, were $l38,92S 43, and the current
expenses of working the same s5O,44S OG
leaving net revenue of $SS,470 81. This
Is more than equal to seven per cent. on the
entire cost of the 20 miles in operation-al-
thought is only during the last seven months
of the twelve that this road has been finished
and running to GAINESVILLE. We think that
will dopretty well for beginning.--lG7. Sen.
