Kindness to Aaaimals.-We have seen
horses, says the Albany Cultivator, that
were used for driving ferry boat, pass un-
led from the stable to the boat, step on
board; walk to the machinery and "back"
themselves downward through narrow
door on the wheel ready for work, entirely
unattended: while most other horses coull
scarcely be driven on board. An invariable
feeding of oats Immediately following the
act, sufficiently accounts for this remarkable
movement. The animal quickly understood
the connection between his position on the
wheel and his breakfast

Murder at Contra Costa a--On Saturday
morning last, two Germans named Myers
and Wittig left their rancho near Oakland /,
for hunting excursion to the neighboring
Red Woods On the same night Myers

the evidence of a severe fight, being dread
fully cut and beaten From his statement
it appears that himself and partner were
surrounded in the woods 10y a party OF

thus committing under the, color of the
law direct robbery, and affording us an
opportunity of seeing specimen of Eng.
lish Justice The fine was subsequently
reduced to f27.
1t appears very clearly that this outrage
has been caused solely by their jealousy Of
our having complete possession of the
whale fishery off these islands; and unable
to cope with our hardy seamen, they en-
deavor by petty exactions, trumped -uF
charges, fines and imprisonments, to drive
off our whalers. In this case theywen
out full of exultation to capture the "d-d
Yankee" They return to find an
American man -of-war in port, and cap in
hand deny any intention of violating oul
rights.
This is not an isolated case-it occurs
frequently; the accounts appear in the
newspapers, the public indignation is ex-
cited but the owner submits to the indig.
nifty and loss rather than lose time and
money, waiting in the ante chambers o
the authorities for satisfaction daily prom
ised, but never given.
All the papers in the case will be for
warded to the Government, that it may
demand satisfaction for the indignity to
our flag, and compensation for breaking up

Indictments for Fghtinga Duel-The
demurrer to the indictment against certain
parties for fighting duel in this county,
which has been argued at considerable
length and with marked ability before the
Court OF Sessions, was sustained, and the
indictments declared insufficient. This is
the secold duelling case in this county
which has been kicked out of court upon
legal fictions and senseless technicalities.
When the present criminal code was adop.
ted it was the intention of the Legislature
to so simplify the pleadngs that an indict-
ment which simply declared crime had
been conrmitted in the county, giving it's
character and charging that certain party
did the deed, should be sufficient, leaving
the whole matter to be determined upon
the facts. TIE Legislature believed they
had fully accomplished this object. but
courts somehow apl ear to manage so as to
require pleadngs little more Strict than
they were under he old English practice.
1t appears, further, that our Judges are
inclined ITO rule any Indictment found for
fighting duel out of court In this case we
do not know whether the court or the Dis.
trlct Attorney should shoulder the respon-
sibility. That somebody is accountable
for defeat of the ends Of justice and the
enforcement of the law would seem a pro-
position so clear as not to admit of dispute.

The civil war in Nicaragua was still pro-

principal cities and towns, with the exception
of Grenada and Rivas, the former of which was
occupied by both parties when the Brother
Jonathan left. There were reports OF several

sides. Amongst the killed was Col. Plneda,
of the insurgent party. 1t was generally sup

CULrIvATlNG PEARLs.-Pearls are de-
posted by the interior part OF shell'hsh
which may be made to deposit this In the
form of drops or globules, instead OF
spreading it naturally over the inner sur
face of the shell. This art OF causing the
pearl oyster to deposit its secretion in this
way, has long been known to the Chinese,
who have practiced it with great success
and very considerable profit, producing by
its means, pearls of good size. The ceie,
brated Linneus discovered the method OIL
eHecting this, and is said to have DIS
posed OF the knowledge to some OF ,,,l .he
pearl dealers for considerable sum. Inc
union of our fresh water streams, OF com
mon fresh water clans, cannot often pro-
duce very pretty pearls.
The great secret of making these crea'
lures deposit pearls, is to disturb the nat, t,
