Astonishing "a Cockney.

Talk about your darned fast lines" said
Yankee to cockney. who was so imprudent in
the natural way of his countrymen, as to COM
mence Dragging on English railroads, while the
couple were progressing at the rate OF forty
miles an hour on the Birmingham railway
sWhy, mister, this ere road is putty censidera-
bic for England, but it won't do for Meriky.-
We ride astradde o. the telegraphs there, when
we're in hurry, but when we amt, we take
the railroad. l was coming from Philadelphia
to New York, when sez to a feller se,tin' 10y
me: .Who on airth own that big garden with
white palms around ii = 4 don't see no w'llrtc
palms. sez he. 4 don't nothin' else SEE
|, and mighty tall fence it is too The feller
bust out "a laffin why you darned fool seq
he, .them's the telegraph poles.' And sure
enough, when the engine teller stopped, saw
tLeni pests hundl ed yards apart. and we had
been goin SO ALFRED fast they looked for all the
world like white palms
AT this moment, the bell rang at the signal
station, before the cockney had fully recovered
from Jonathan's first dose
''Whats that bell ringin' for u inquired the
latter of his English friend.
''We are approaching D"
''Well, them kind of bell tixin's does for these
ere slow cars, but can't use them contri-
vances in 'Merky.'
'Why not q?
'Kase we travel so fast--fact beat sound all
to- smash. We would be smack through VII
age before the sound OF ciapper was i'll the
neighborhood."
'Nly heyest is it possble!'' exclaimed the
astonished cockney.
Fact, by thunder. Why, was on the York
cars when them steam whistles was first tried.
Maybe you've hearn O that terrible accidenri'
NO"
well, sir, were going 1t strong, hGiri-
canes were no whar-a nater seemed shakln'
to pieces when about leven miles ahead some
thin nuther was seen Oh the track The whls-
tie was turned loose, and she did scream orfui
ly but it was no manner of use, tor alter stunb-
lin over span OF smart hosses and "a market
wagon was list crawn' out of pond when
along cum the sound of the whistle, mixed up
with some big curses, mind to have hearn the
engine man holler out when he first saw the
wagon, but the poor teller was dead when his
voice arrived. Fact, got the documents.
"Hextraordinary {" exclaimed the horror
stricken cockney, land do you use whistles
yetl"
'Bless yer soul, no. Congress stopped 'em
right off. and now we act the philosophlc
principle that light travels an almighty sight
faster than sound, which wiz do, perhaps tor
this generation. We now tell 'em we are
comm by Dustin out light that astonishes all
animal creation. and reckon rather aslonlshed
the planetary system at first. When 1t was tried
at ght the roosters on the road commenced
Growing, and the chickens all got down IRON
the roost, thinking it was daylight"
The suddenly stopped, when Jonathan
having arrived at the point of his destination,
looked around at the astonished cockney, nod
ded his head and taking his carpetbag under
one arm and an umbrella under the other, took
his leave, as sober as deacon.

2lst inst, an affair ef rather a serious nature
took place ON the South Fork OF the Salmon,
between two men oi high repute. The wea-
pens fought with were pistols: distance 30

John Conway, concealed himself behind alog.
when bostii,ies commenced. They funght like
tigers, one shooting four and the other six
rounds-the balls of the first striking the ground
about 40 yards to the left of his opponent, whlle
those OF the latter took effect in beef about
fifty yards distant from the former. The insult
occasioning the duel is 10 be decided on next

AN ExTRAoRDINARY DIscovERy.-Ihe atten-

seven wears ago. He had died from the effects
of the bite of nlad dog. The shroud ana the

intact This is the third exhnmafion made
within tweuiv years Of bodies OF the victims OF
hy,lropbobia. under similar circumstances; and

was consulted. and no mention OF the embal-

WARLIKE MoyEMENTs.-Warlike movements
continued in Europe in all directions. the French
had commissioned several additional vessels at
Toulon The English squadron at Spithead has
been reinforced by the arrival OF the channel
feet, and now numbers II ships.
A letter from Smyrna states that two Turkish
merchant vessels had been captured by the Rus
slams IN the Black Sea. Also, that war in the
Caucasus had broken out with redoubled fury,
and the Russians had been defeated by Schamyl.
A French steamer had arrived at CONSTANT
nople with 10000 muskets for the Porte
Steamers had left with 1000 gunners for Baria

The London "Times'' says the Emperor of
Russia is negotiating for the purchase of the
American steamers Humboldt and ''Frank-

SINGULAR LAKEs.-The crater lakes, in the
town of Manlius, Onondago county, New York,
are curosities, and are supposed TO be OF yolca-
mic origin They are by the inhabitants about
there, called the !" Green LAX es." One OF them
is on the top of hill and is in the form OF tea
cup. The banks are two hundred feet high, and
the water four hundred feet deep. The waller
appears of deep green, but when taken up in
glass it is perfectly clear and transparent.-
Trees and limbs, which fall into the water,
soon become encrusted with bright green
substance, which, on being exposed to the air,
becomes hard. The timber decays and leaves
this incrustation in the shape of hollow tubes.
Wood saturated with this water emlts strong
odor of sulphur. A farmer, who resides near
by once heard great rush of water and look
ing around, saw the lake rushing over the banks.
He was alarmed, and fled with his team, but the
water soon receded to its usual level.

TWe learn by gentleman from Butte

BWe learn by gentleman from Butte
county, who arrived in the city yesterday, that
the Totss tribe Of Indians, who had their hunt
ing grounds between the North and Middle
Forks of Feather River were attacked in their
camps on Thursday, the 18th inst, by the Pleas
tribe, living the South Fork of the same river,
and entirely externnated them, not leaving
man, woman or child alive. At the time of
the discovery of the gold, the Totas tribe num-
bered about five hundred persons, and the Pleas
tribe about twelve hundred. feud has existed
between the two tribes during the past years,
growing out of dispute as to the right TO hunt
in certain territory, and in consequence guer-
rilla warfare has been carried on, but almost in
variably resulting in loss to the Totas This,
together with the small pox last autumn, re-
duced their tribe to about torty-fve persons
The Pleas are reduced to about nine hundred.
The Pleas crossed the river into the territory of
the Totas, and using the usual stratagems Incl
dent to Indian warfare, attacked the Totas in
their camps at daylight, and succeeded in com.
pletely wjpng out the tribe. party of pros
pecting miners visiting their camp discovered
the bodies OF the men, women and infants, and
buried them.-S.ate Journal.

PoRT ORFoRD.-The steamer Thomas Hunt
arrived yesterday, 80 hours from Port Oxford.
The news from the new diggings do not turn
out so profitable previous rumors would JUS
tify. We were shown letter received by a
gentleman III this city from his son, who says
the diggings similar TO those in other parts
of the State. Some are doing well-that is those
who are so fortunate to get water-while 9TH
ers are doing little or nothing. The black sand
is Of the old gold bluff species, so well known to
many of our citizens; and, taking the news al
together, the impression is that the reports here
toore received frcm that quarter are rather ex-
aseerated.-.Sua.

BAD NEWS FROM AusTRALIA.-From pri-
vate letter which we have just received from
Melbourne, we extract the following:
" Great distress and disappointment here.
Numbers of Irish people, too, would give the
world to be home again. Employment preca-
rious, and with those who do not get it at once,
provisions and rent are SO high, their ready cash
is soon eaten out For the one that finds the
dust. one thousand don't find any thing at all but
hardship. People at home don't know what
hardship is. To do well here man must have
an iron constitution-be able to sleep out at
night amidst reptiles and big midges-be a
'loater' Ga robbery )-have pistol always loaded
and be always ready to be shot or hanged, as
occasion may require This is life at he dig
gins. - Woferford Nears
