ARRIVAL OF THE NORTHERN LIGHT,
S553.oOo IN GOLD.


New YoRK, Jan. l5.-The steamship
Northern Light, from Aspinwall, arrived at
her dock about half past o'clock this morn
treasure on freight.
9th instant on a cruise.
The steamship Uncle Sam arrived at San
Francisco on the Doth ult., making the time
from New York % days and 9 hours.
The committee appointed at the railroad
meeting IN San Francisco, had decided that
stage route across the Plains is the most prac-
ticable means of securing the speedy compile
ton of the railroad, and the State Legislature
will probably be called upon to make an ap-
preparation for the purpose.
The City Marshal of Oakland, John Hogan,
had absconded with 500, 900 of the city funds.
The question of the State Capital was
about to be decided, and Sacramento would
doubtless be the place.
Miss Sarah Pellet had declared her inten-
ton Of taking out five thousand respectable
girls to California.
A libel suit, brought by George Thatcher
and wife against the Christian ADVOCATE, had
resulted III favor of the plaintiffs, with $4,000
damages. The paper had published a letter
stating that the plaintiffs were living together
without being married.
From CALIFoRNIA.-The steamship Prone
theus has arrived at New Orleans, with Cali
fornia dates to the Odd ult. The markets con-
tinued very dull. No rain had fallen to re-
lieve the miners, but the crops, had no wise
suffered.
The town of vallecito was destroyed by fire

MANUFACTURE OF RUM.-Probably the only
manufacture in the northern States, whichis
carried on proftably at the present time, is
that of Rum, and this was never before so pro-
fItable as at the present time. The distiller-
les, all through the country, have orders for
many weeks and months ahead, at prices
which yield them hundred per cent profit
This state of things has been occasioned by
the prohibition of the distilation of grain in
France and Belgium, which has caused large
orders from those countries for Rum from the
United States.
Every packet ship from New York, for France
and Germany, now carries out all the Rum
which can be had in the market,as part OF her
cargo. The article sell at AZ to 48 cents GAL
lon, and the profit may easily be calculated,
when it is known that the molasses costs but
little more than 20 cents a gallon, and 100
gallons of molasses will make % gallons of
rum. A large portion of the molass S in the
United States has just been bought up on
French account. At Portland, 5000 hhds
were purchased last week for shipment to
France.-Nea1buyypor Herald

A PRISONER AT SEBAsToPoL.-Th last day
l was in the trenches, while slight skirmish
was going on in front, and in a covered way
met one of our rifemen and Russian rifle
man walking slowly together. AS l came
nearer, l saw that the Russian was limping
along in pain, resting his hands in our fellow s
shoulder, who with two rifles under his arm,
and pipe in his mouth, was walking easily
and coolly along, evidently given his wounded
opponent some good advice, which l have no
doubt was all the better relished for not being
understood. Struck with the singularity Of
their appearance, waited till they approached,
and asked the Riheman how he got his prision-
er Is where did get him, Siri" said he,
with an accent ofindignant surprise, " faith
shot him with my own two hands, "When
did you shoot hiIn" l inquired. "When
shot him down there of course" said he point
ing to the " ovens" where there had been a
slight skirmsh. /" He was down there be.
hind wall Sir, taking aim with only his legs
out,when hit him with my last round in the
knee; and I've got his pipe, Sir, and I've got
his bacca, Sir, and all | wants now is his boots
and I'm leading him to the hospital, when l
can take EN- off him comfortable" Having
said this much with a droll earnestness to
which no words can do justice, he quietly re-
sumed his way toward the rear, assisting and
helping his poor wounded prisoner, who du.
ring the whole time of our dialogue had been
bowling cap in hand from one to the other, as
If to implore our mercy and protection.

A SEcEDER FROM THE "KNow. MORNINGS"
The Boston Chronicle states that on Friday
evening, at a session of the Know Nothing
Council in Ward II, Charles w. Slack, Pres
ident, in the chair, vote was passed instruct
ing the President, Mr.. Slack, not to vote for
General Wilson for United States Senator,
when the election came before the Legislature.
Mr.. Slack, who is member of the House,
Immediately resigned his Office in the Know
Nothing Council, and withdrew from all con-
nection with the order.
The attempt of such body, unknown to
the constitution and laws, to control the vote
of a representative of the people, was an out.
rageous one, and no man, having the slightest
portion of self-respect, or regard for the obli-
cation under which he was bound to act as a
legislator, could have hesitated for a moment,
to do as Mr.. Slack did.

ACQUITTED. Lyman Halves, the man who
some months ago placed building upon the
track Of the Providence and Worcester Rail-
road, and stationed himself in it, with key
of powder and lighted torch, to blow it up
if interfered with, has recently been tried in
Providence on a charge Of intent to prevent
the safe passage Of cars and passengers, and
has been acquitted. The Providence Post
states that the acts charged were fully proved,
but that Halves took the precaution to give
to the cars or passengers-thst Halves was the
owner Of land through which the road passed,
and had refused to accept the award for dam
ages. His counsel argued that the prisoner
was only liable in an action for trespass.-
The verdict probably turned upon this point,
as the jury returned verdict of not guilty.

SIR WALTER ScoTT.-There is strange
story now floating on the great sea of literary
table-talk. Noaaing less, let me tell you, than
that an unpublished fiction by Sir Walter Scott
has been turned up, and will be published in
Paris, where il was found. The story runs,
that rich old German, who lived in Paris
when Scott visited it in 1926, had mono
mania for collecting autographs, and wanted
one of Scott's; that Anne Scott gave him the
manuscript of historical romance by her ia.
ther which he had determined not to publish |;
that he priced this very much, kept it lin box
by itself, and promised to bequeth it to his
private secretary that he quilted Paris in 1880,
and was lost sight of that few months ago
that the Germans daughter forwarded the
writing case from Bavaria; that the Secretary

A "KNow NOTHING" LODGE was broken up
by a mob at Easton, Northampton county,
Pa, last week. The members of the secret
organization assembled quietly in an upper
story of public house, and while transacting
their business, the mob of opposing polit-
clans gathered around the exterior Of the
house, armed with large cannon, which they
fired off, and it broke all tho window-glass in
the house. The mob was also armed with
noisy musical instruments such as horns, bug.
les, trumpets, and. drums, with which they all
kept up such a deafening noise that the lodge
was obliged to dispense.

CoRNBLL's PRIMARY GEOGRAPHY We
have received from D. Appleton & Co. New
York the first of a systematic series of school
Geograpi les, ss-hich we think has superior
claims upon the teachers of our public schools,
to any we have seen. The study of Geog-
raphy is made to the highest uegree attractive
by the beautiful maps and engravings in the
body of the work, and every fact is so clearly
illustrated by reference TO them, that this
study, which is too often tedious one with
most of the text books now in use, cannot
but become one of the most delightful, even to
the children in our primary schools. The
work bears the strongest evidence of having
been prepared by an experienced teacher, one
who is an enthusiast i'll the vocation, and we
doubt not that the whole series, judging by
tie first, which is now before us, will attain
wide popularity.

A BLOODY TRAGEDY.-In New Orleans, on
New Years eve, as the landlord of low grog-
gerry in the city was passing out through his
gateway into an alley, he was felled to the
earth by some person unknown. Two other
persons, hearing the roise, rushed out to his
assistance, and, upon passing through the gate,
a knife was drawn across the abdomen of each,
and they fell to the ground mortally wound
ed Two more men then came to the rescue,
ench of whom was likewise stabbed i'll the
abdomen, one of them fatally, and the other
in such a manner that his recovery was doubt
full. A fifth man succeeded in escaping unin-
jured from the assassins, after a severe tussle,
and called the police. The officers were on the
track of the murderers at last advices.
