SENTENCE OF JUDGE LAKE.-His Hon
or Judge Lake, who yesterday appeared
before Recorder Waller and plead guilty
to the charge Of having committed an as
sault upon Mr.. H. Dawson, proprietor Of
the Leader, was this morning sentenced to
pay fine of $50. The Recorder in an
nouncing the sentence was very severe
upon the conduct Of the complainant Davi-
son, and alluded TO the provocation which
the latter had offered, as being of the most
unwarrantable and outrageous nature
extremely dangerous withaI, not only to
the parties. Immediately concerned, but
likewise to the peace and welfare of the
community. 1t was wanton and mali
cious attack upon personal character, and,
as such, was deserving the most decided
and general condemnation. He, however,
felt in duty bound to infict penalty, the
greater, because of the high position held
by the defendant, but, remarked at the
same time, that had he, the Recorder,
been sitting as. Civil Magistrate, he
should not have assessed the damages over
sac ce1us.- Ecening Nescs.

EARrHoUAKE-The shock of an earth.
quake was felt around Angel Island on
the lst inst. The Alta says: A sloop
was laying along side of the wharf at the
east side Of the island taking in stone.-
The captain states that there was no
air stirring at the time, the sea around
was as smooth as glass, when suddenly an
immense sea arose and commenced dash
ing the schooner about at fearful rate; at
the same time the tide arose several feet
higher than it had ever been seen to rise
before by the persons living on the Island
engaged in quarrying. The captain Of
the schooner becoming alarmed for fear
his craft would be dashed to pieces, cast
off the fasts, and got her under way as
quick as possible. This singular pheno,n-
enon continued for almost half an hour,
and those who are residing on the Island
state they have never witnessed such an
occurrence before. -, -

CARRYING DEADLY WEAPoNs.-The Mon
treal Herald, in alluding to the prevalent prac-
tice IN some parts of the United States of car
rying deadly weapons concealed about the per-
son, makes the following sound and excellent
remarks
at is manifest, that when civilians adopt
this practice, they adopt with it certain modes
OF thought, not proper to be entertained by
law-abiding men. They do not carry these
things without purpose and to that purpose.
dangerous and wicked as it is. their minds be-
come habituated by the constant sight and
handling OF the instruments which suggest it.
1t is probable that q man can badly put pis-
tol daily into his pocket, without having fire.
quent feeling of desire to make use of it.
Mere defence is q vain pretence the proper
and really valuable defence is the law 1t is
not defence, even to Kill the man who kills me !;
but punishment taken into my own hands
And this punishment, which may sometimes be
just, is often visited unjustly by man who as
Sumes to be Judge and executioner in his own
! cause. Hence we see triding offences, or sup
posed offences, which are revenged by shooting
But besides the habitual deterioration of the
moral sentiment or respect for life, which arises
from constant familiarity with the instruments
used for destroying it, the proximity of lethal
weapons naturally lends itself to the gratiica-
ton ofexcited passion. There is no time given
for passion to subside or for reason to assume
the ascendant, as happens, when the knife or
pistol must be searched out. At the moment
when temper IS most ungovernable, the means
OF gratifying 1t are most conveniently at hand
Hence we see men with no i'll will to each 9TH
er commit murder in their cups. Hence we
find that these deadly encounters frequently
take place between old friends, who have had
some accidental dispute about a subject too
trifiing to involve the life of decent dog. But
for the handy weapon, few hours would often
see the too men excellent friends once more,
instead of which it too often happens that the
one is q corpse, and the other wounded and in
the hands of justice for trial. which is, no
doubt too often mockery, but which must
always be distressing ordeal for the accused
and his family, independent of the result"

A RovISG ELEPHANT. On Wednesday
night, the elephant accompanying the menag-
erie of Mr.. Batty, which had been exhibiting
in this town, after the performance, was safely
lodged in a stable, near the George Hotel
The keeper, on going to feed the animal in
the morning, found, to his great astonishment,
that his charge had absconded. Riders were
sent about in every direction to find the miss
ing brute, but they returned without any sue
cess. In the forenoon he was discovered lying
fast asleep in the wine cellar of the hotel
having, it seems, opened the door of his lodg
ing in the night, in a rowing disposition, and
quietly walked up long fight of steps to the
George, and afterwards descended to the cel-
lar. Several bottles were broken, and the
contents drank by the elephant, till he was sat
isfed he had enough. When found, he looked
the picture of contentment. This does not
show that all animals are disciples Father

FIVE PERSONS SUFFoCATED IN LEAD MINE
"A lamentable catastrophe occurred at the
Bryngwyn lead mine, situated about two miles
from the Mold. 1t appears that there are two
shafts sunk i'll the Rryngwyn mine land, which
communicate with each other by mears of a
level. The mine has been worked for several
years, and the deepest part Of the work is
about l30 yards from the surface, but the
shafts are not sunk perpendicularly to that
Depth there being sundry levels on an incline
plane, sumps, &c, before arriving at the deep
est portions of the mine. Six miners had gone
to their work about l o'clock A. NJ, being much
earlier than the usual hour at which their
stems" commenced, as they intended going
harvesting that day. They were to be relieved
by another set of workmen at 7 o'clock A. NJ
When these arrived at the mine they sent lad
named John Jones down one Of the shafts, to
ascertain whether those that were down were
ready to come up. He accordingly went and
about midway, on o level (about 70 yards in
lengthy driven on an incline, he discovered the
men, sleeping soundly, as he imagined. He
called out to his fellow workmen who were
awaiting him at the top of the incline, that the
men slept so profoundly that he had failed in
awakirg them. He was then told by John
Clark to return to him for lighted candle,
which he did, and again proceeded in the same
direction. When he again reached the men he
repeated his statement as to their drowsy con-
dition. Clarke and his comrades now suspect
ed that some misfortune must have befallen
them, and Immediately went in search Of them.
Having gone about 40 yards along the incline
they found James Clarke, who was dead, all
the others that were with him being in such q
state that it was scarcely perceptible that they
were breathing. The lad, John Jones, and
John Clarke, endeayored to carry Geo. Old

but short distance before John Jones sudden

ly His fellow. workmen, On perceiving this,
and experiencing sensation as of paralysis in
the lower extremities, hastened from the spot,
and went towards the shafts. When they ar
rived on the surface many of them became Sc
riously i'll. They managed, however, to call
for assistance, which being procured, quanti-
ty of water was poured down the shafts to pu-
rify the air, and clear them from the noxious
exhalations. A second attempt was then made
to bring up the bodies which was effected n

Hoes IARD.-Itis stated that one es4
tablishment in Cincinnati last year tried
out thirty thousand hogs. To carry on
this immense business, they have seven
large circular tanks of sufficient capacity
to hold fifteen thousand gallons each
They receive the entire carcass, with the
exception of the hams, and the whole is
subjected to steam process. under press
ure of seventy pounds to the square inch,
the effect of which operation is to reduce
the whole to one consistence, and every
bone to powder. The effect is drawn off
by cocks, and the residum, a mass of
earthly substance, as far as made use of,
is taken away for manure. Besides the
hogs which reach the factory in entire car
casses, the great mass of heads, ribs, back
bones, trail pieces, feet, and other trimmings
of the hogs, cut up at different pork houses,
are subjected to the same process, in order
to extract every particle of grease. This
concern will turn out this season three
millions six thousand pounds of lard, fve-
slxths OF which is No. l. Nothing can
surpass the purity and beauty Of this lard,
WHICH is refined as well as made under
