New RoUrE To CALIFoRslA--Ua Par.
Affected Dispatch, The news lromCalilornia
by the A lbntross was received Mt New Or
leans in the short space Of Is dnys from
San Francisco. 1t came by the new route
via Acapulco and VcraCruz to New Orleans.
As we have already stated, the Postmaster
General has executed "A contract for a semi
monthly mail over this route TO go into
operation at an early period, probably by
the first of May, md this is its first fruit
The news came by the regular Panama
steamer Tennessee, which left San Fran
cisco on the I'd inst, and was bonrdeI of
Acapulco by the agent Of the new line, md
brought thence to Vera Cruz in five days,
and thence to New Orleans by the Alba
tr0ss. The contractors IN this route pro-
pose to carry the mails from New Orleans
to San Francisco in sixteen dOys, aud *
pect to funish facilities for carrying ""pnssen-
gers across from Vera Cruz to Acapulco in
less than four days. The success which
has atteadcd this first experimental attempt
To 20 over the line, shows that they have
probably undertaken no more than they
will be able to accompllsh.-BaH. Sun.

Cyan English paper gives a new use for

Gently been made, which is likely to effect n
revolution in the milk trade. In conse-
qnence ofthc advance in the price Of olive
oil, from Gao per ton TO .e7e. the manufac-
turers of wooden cloths, who use this :oil in
large quantities, have found out tin. neces-
sity is the mother Of invention. Ono of
them, in the neighborhood OF TThurlstone,
near penistnno, tried whether milk mixed
with oil would not answer the purpose
The experiment exceeded his most san-
guine expectations, the mixture being fay
better for the purpose than olive oil alone.
The consequence has been that milk has sd-
yanced to Is Al per gallon. IN the neighbour
hood of SOME OF the wooden cloth mills, sni
cows are being bought up in all directions.

ARTIFICIAL PRODUCTION OF FIsH.-Yhe
French Government is continuing TO act en-
the admirable discovery OF dehin and Rsmy,
fishermen of tAe Vosges, for artiicially fe-
cundating the eggs Of fish. Ithas, in partic-
ulSr, caused it to be practiced on a grand
scale at Huningen; and the fish produced by
il there are, on arriving at a certain degree
of maturity, to be sent into different rivers
and canals, In the southern Departments,
also, the same system has been practiced
with extraordinary success. 1t consists in
collecting the spawn of the female fish, in
stead OF allowing them to deposit it in the
beds of rivers, and in applying it to the milt
of mates, instead of leaving the males to do
it themselves. The eggs thus prepared are
preserved until they become hatched. The
consequences is, that many thousand fish are
thus produced from each females spawn,
whereas on, very few indeed are obtained
when the fish are left to effect the fecunda-
ton themselveF,1w to the eggs being de-
voured by other fish, washed away, or iniu-
red by dirt. Rivers, streams, canals, lakes,
and ponds can thus be made to teen with
fish; and a new branch of is
thereby created, while an abundant supply
of wholesome food is obtained. The ex-
pense of supplying the system of Remy and
Gehin is very trilipg indeed. These men
have been recompensed by the Government
for the great services they have been the
means of rendering to the public. Their
plan is applicable TO all sorts of fish that
spawn in rivers,

A FAMILY QUARREL AND TRAerpy.-
Some time ago, il will be remembered. we
published an account oftwo families in Vir.
ginia, residing in Amherst county becom.
ing involved in a serious did;cnl,v-~,he
families of Morris and Williams.
One ofthe Williams became attached, -

taken by the father and brother of the vo,n-
lady, who got possession of the intendo5
bride, after some resistance and started win
her on their return home. Stoppipo IN tea
at Nelson Court House, they were overiaken
by Mr.. Williams and his brother. whore !
violent alteration took place at the snnnor-
table, in which young Morris, the brother oe
the intended bride, was shot dead bv : M,
Williams, brother ofthe intended brideoroor,
Williams, whoscommitted the deed, LETT ,hs
country, we learn, and did not return until
recently.
On Saturday night last, it appears, he w,s
met, while on horse. back, by a brother of tho
Morris killed, in Il road near Lynchhurp.-
NJ. asked w. if it was true that he had
boosted Of having killed his brother. With
out replying, w. apparently was attempting
to draw a pistol, when he was anticipated
tby Morris, who Immediately fired two pistol
balls at him, the first taking effect in the
thigh, the latter penetrating the body, and
producing what is thought a mortal wound.
Morris was arrested, and bail offered by his
father, "a very wealthy man, to a largea a.
mount, which was refused.
The excitement, it is said, in Lynchburgh
and neighborhood, growing out of this dis
tressing affair, is very great. The Williams
party,we learH ,thresten summaryIvengeance
in the way of Lynch law, in case Morris
should be bailed, or an opportunity otherwise
afforded him to escape the penalties of the
law. Although bail was at first rcfassd, it
was subsequently, granted.
