THE GOLD FIELDS OF THE WoRLD.-Gold
abounds, to greater or less extent, in almost
every country 1t has been found in small
quantities in Spain, Portugal Sweden, the Ger
manic States, Turkey, and even in England
The produce Of the Russian gold mines is from
fifteen to twenty millions Of dollars annually.
Besides Australia, gold is found in China, Ma
lacca, Japan, Borneo, New Guinea, and New
Zealand. 1t has also been discovered in con-
siderable quantities in and about the Chaudiere
river, in Lower Canada. The eastern gold re-
gion of the United States is considered as be.
ginning in Virginia, extending through Nor,h
Carolina, along the northern part of South Ca
rolina, and thence northwesterly into Alabama,
terminating in Tennessee. The diggings are
supposed to be pretty well worked out al
though productive at times In l843, s. ,200,-
900 was dug from the gold mines of Virginia.
The west coast Of America, both north and
south Of the, equator, is perhaps the region
having the greatest number of gold deposits.
The precious metal is found in considerable
quantities in all the South American States.
Gold is procured also from various parts Of
Africa, to the amount probably of $2,500,0 900
yearly. 1t is estimated that the total yield OF
gold during the year 1853 was $250,000,0O I;
and it is supposed that the whole stock of gold
and silver bullion now in cir ~ulation is twenty.
Eve hundred millions Of dollars.

A RARE PUFF.-It is by no means perfect
ly easy matter to write good puff. To do it
neatly requires tact as well as talent. The fol
lowing, if it lacks grace, certainly possesses
vigor 1t is from the Rutland Herald, and de-
scribes person of the name Of Darwin Mott,
esquire, from whom his wife had just obtained
a divorce. Notice the directness with which
the writer proceeds to impale the gentleman:
eve know that man, Darwin Mott. He
came to St. Adams with a long face, silver
headed cane, and "Rev.n prefxed to his name.
He preached one faith few months, and sud-
denly changed it. He preached and went
hunting the same day. He preached on tenn
perance, land the people were astonished at his
stolen lectures and feigned honestly and got
drunk. He lectured to young ladies, and played
the adulterer. He kept a bad school; edited a
reckless paper; stole money, and charged the
theft upon the servant girl; got the office Of
deputy inspector; got drunk upon smuggled Ii.
quor; took one shirt, another mans wife, and
a bundle Of manuscript sermons; and ran away
from his own wife, his paper, and crowd of
creditors"

SINGULAR AFFAIR.-Charles Ahrents, be-
longing to one of the first families in Prussia,
and who took an active part in the Berlin revo-
luton, met his death at the Freeman's Hall, in
Cincinnati, few evenings ago, under the fol
lowing circumstances
1t appears that Charles Frohlick, who was
formerly military officer in Austria, was, with
Ahrents and others drinking wine at one of the
refreshment tables, and was good humoredly
challenged by the deceased that he, Frohlick,
was not gallant soldier, that could smell gun
powder, and stand up to the pistols mouth, if
loaded only with blank cartridges, but he, a
Prussian, could. A wager was proclaimed that
he who proved cowardly should call another
bottle The two stepped into the committee
room adjoining, when Ahrents unlocked a
desk, taking out two cavalry pistols, assuring
Frohlick that they were merely loaded with
blank cartridges, and, pulling out his handker-
Chief bid Frohlick, in mock duel, to hold it ont
in front SO that they could not see each others
eyes, and said, you fire first. Frolick pulled
the trigger and Ahrents fell when Frohlick
ran into the bar-room laughing exulting, and
cried Ahrents must pay the liquor, when all
present partly en,ptied their glasses, waiting
have hay replaced the he pistols iE the desk
! The melancholy spectacle which met their
eyes, when they found the lifeless body, turned
their raillery and gaiety into astonishment and
sorrow. 1t is supposed that Ahrents purposely
loaded the pistol that Frohlick might kill him,
as he had previously attempted su eide.
