STANprNG Ar CuJRCH DooRs.-
1t is q common practice, when con-
grcgat1u is Dismissed to see line Of
youns -ontiam o., ranged along the curb
stone, staring at every female that comes
out, and often inlUlgiug in impertinent
remarks that cannot but be heard by
those who are the subject o them. Very
rarely there may be found, among the
mob of dandies, ounces, husband, IA
ther and brother whom unavoidable cir
cumstances have prevented attending
church, and who is waiting to accompa-
ny wife, daughter, or sister home
Such, of course, we do not censure.
But as scarcely one il ten belongs to
this class as they form, in fact, the ex7
ception, not the rule We shall speak Of
those who indulge in this custom, with
out reference to such. 1t is the addle-
headed lads, with high shirt-collars and
canes, averging about seventeen or eight
cen years of age, who form the great
mass of these impertinent spectators,
that We would hold up to public reproot.
Where are the fathers Of these young
dandies: Where is the wholesome rod
which Solomon recomened Where is
the police /;
Only a refined female knows how an
noying it is to run the gauntlet of these
immature boys Nor do they spare any
body. The matron is just as much at
their mercy as the maiden; the plain
face as subject to remark as the beauti-
full one the addressed as open to
impertinence as the more richly attired
One female meets sneer as she pas
scs, because she does not happen to
please the fancy of some young fool,
while the cheeks of another are made 10
tingle by his loud and insolent admira-
ton. Even where the lady escapes with
out verbal insult, she is stared out of
countcnance, and has no resource, ex-
cept to drop her veil, hurry on, and es-
cape into more respectful atmosphere
as fast as possible.

Certificate Of the Efficacy Of
Dr. WOOdwOrth'S syrup.

nR. NJ. WOODNOKTli-Sir This is to
~ certify that my wife has been afflicted
with the Scrofula from child, and for the
last ten years she has suffered beyond de-
scription. 1t made its appearance on the
upper part Of the mouth, and also on the
under jaw; it had become such an eating
sore, that small pieces Of bone have come
out. 1t was attended with the most excru-
lciating pains. In this manner she has suf
fered without finding any relief. She was
attended by some Of our best physicians, but
all to no purpose; they had all given her up.
At last she was induced to try DR.. Towns
ends Syrup, of which she took twenty bot
ties, but it did her no good. Seeing your
advertisement, she was induced by friend
to try your Syrup. | sent to your agent in
Hartford, and procured bottle fo her, and
as astonishing as it may seem, before she
had finished taking that bottle, she was re-
! leved Of those eXcruciating pains, and her
mouth is gradually healing. She has taken
/ four bottles, and she is now able to be
arou ID and attend to her household duties
and we would hereby recommend this to
others in like manner afflicted, as being one
of the medicines ever offered to the public
and we feel duly grateful that we could OBJ
tain anything to procvre relief.
Yours, respectfully,

The Dream Of Home.

Who has not felt Now sadly sweet
The dream of home, the dream of home,
Steals DER the heart, too soon to fleet,
When far DER sea or land we roam?
Sunlight more soft may DER us fall,
To greener shores our bark may come;
But far more bright, more dear than all,
That dream of home that dream of home.
Ask of the sailor youth when far
His light bark bounds DER oceans foam,
What charms him most when evning's star
Smiles DER the waveg TO dream of home.
Fond thoughts of absent friends andlo
AT that sweet hour around him come
His hearts best joy whereer he roves,
That dream of home, that dream of home. .

serve as pretext for quarrel. We
acquit the administration of so discre-
ditable policy; for we cannot inns
agine Mr.. Pierce actuated by motives
at once dishonorable and mean. More
over, it is extremely questionable
whether the refusal of Spain to receive
Mr.. Soule-supposing for the sake of
argument, that such a proceeding were
had-could be construed into viola
ton of any of the just rights Of our
country. Major Poussin was treated
precisely in the same way by our own

4 STRANGE V1s;tor.-Our readers

a Strange Vis'tor.-Our reader
perhaps. noticed under the head o
Marine Intelligence" in our paper o
yesterday, the report of a wreck faller
in with by the schooner Emma Packer
from Tahiti, and the rescue of a non
descript person supposed to be Chi
naman. We have since been inform.
ed by a gentleman who came as pas
senger on the Emma Packer, that
though the vessel resembleda a Chinese
Junk, it is very questionable whether
the crew were of that nation. The
man rescued did not at all resemble q
Chinaman, and speaks a jargon not
understood by any person who has at
tempted to converse with him. More
over, some small coin which he had
about his person were such as were
never seen before by any person on
board. He was entirely ignorant Of
the use of clothing, and marvelled
much at everything he saw On board
the vessel. He appeared to have no
idea of chart, or nautical instruments,
and could convey no idea how long he
had been a. sea. When found he was
a most pitiable object, and was entire
ly exhausted. It appeared that for a
long time he had subsisted by spear
ing fish. A funnel Snapped instru>
ment attached to q small vessel, indi-
Gated that he had depended upon the
rains for supply of water, but the
fluid found in the vessel was quite
feted and unfit for use. He appeared
to have resigned himself to his fate
and laid down to die, and it is the
opinion of our informant that he could
not have survived many hours longer.
Extreme caution was necessary in re-
suscitating him; and it was several
days before he showed signs of rally
ing from his exhausted condition.
Judging from the appearance and po-
sition of the dismasted and water
logged vessel, it was thought that she
had been at least year at sea. Float
ing in the water, of the hold were 3
bodies, one of them apparently fe-
male. The stranger subsequently gave
his rescuers to understand that, of the
number who had perished, were his
wife and child. He is thought to be
a Japanese. He is now robust and
hearty, and twice his late size.

CONG IT STRoNG.-The Calave-
ras Chronicle, in giving tho following
account of the murder of a Chinese
murder it certainly would be called In
the old States-sbows, as Shakespeare
says, show use doth breed habit in
a man, The Chronicle speaks of the
disposition of this poor Chinaman
with as much composare as though it
was the entrapment of grizzly:
The Chinaman who stole the $4OO
at Dry Town, last week was sentenc-
ed to receive % lashes and to have
his cue cut. This latter he resisted
to the last, begging OF them even to
kill him, so that he might die with
this honorable appendage. He was
afterwards given in charge to some OF
his countrymen, who again whipped
him and cut off his left ear. He was
then marched off for San Francisco,
in charge of another party; but get,
ting tired of their prisoner, they led
him little aside from the road, and
finally disposed of him by shooting
him through the head.

A Columbia correspondent of the San
Francisco Herald gives the particulars
of the killing Of another Of Joaquin's
band, rs follows:
"Upon the death of Claudio, Pedro
Sanchez, bold, daring and blood thirsty
scoundrel, was promoted by Joaquin to
the post held by the former. Joaquin
decamped for the Southern country, but
Pedro came back to his old stamping
ground, at this place and Martinez
Here he, has been sort of teyor to his
coontrymen, but seldom interfered with
Americans The past week he has been
very troublesome, and has threatened
to kill number Of Mexicans. On Mon
day last, an Irishman was abbed near
Sonora, with the intent, no doubt, Of
killing him, and this attack has been
traced to Pedro Sanchez. Night before
last, o Spaniard, named Albino Teba,
had difficulty with Pedro, and the lat
ter boasted that he would kill Teba last
night. Tebs was on his guard during
the evening, and about ten o'clock last
night Pedro pursued him out Of fam
dango house at Martinez. Teba told
him not to approach, or he would shoot.
Pedro continued to advance with knife
in his hand, when Teba fred, and killed
him instantly. He discharged four balls
at Pedro, only one of which took effect.
Teba came into town this morning, and
gave himself up. Tomorrow morning
he will have hearing. Thus has per-
ished one of the ringleaders Of Jeaquin's
band. Joaquin is frequently called Car
rillo,' Cruz ect,, but his real name is
joaquin Mariate.

Beef Cattle.-The idea has been

Beef Cattle.-The idea has been
sometimes advanced that there would
soon be no beef cattle left in Califor-
MIA, and numerous combinations have
from time to time been projected for
purchasing and monopolising all that
now remain, with a view to great
speculation by holding them from the
market, and advancing the price of
beef. Late advices from the East,
however, will go far towards discour-
aging any such efforts. 1t appears
that the graziers in the northern Hi
nois region, who have heretofore been
among the most extensive contributors
to the great cattle markets Of New
York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and
Boston, viii this year drive no cattle
East, but instead all their herds will
come across the plains to California.
The cattle dealers, as far East as
Ohio, also are turning their attention
in the same direction, and in some in
stances have recalled their droves from
their journey to New York, to be sent
across the plains. In Missouri, Iowa,
Arkansas, Texas, and in some instan
ces even in Kentucky, vsst herds Of
cattle were, at last accounts, setting
out for the Pacific coast, taking the
various routes leading most directly
from the sections named. The effect
of this new turn is already having a
decided effect on the Eastern cattle
markets, and a material advance in
prices is noticed.
