ANOTHER MURDER.--We understand that
a murder was committed at French Gulch a
day or two since. 1t seems that q quarrel
arose between two individuals, over game
of cards, when one of them drew knife, and
inflicted a fatal wound upon the other, who
died almost Immediately. The murderer has
been arrested, and is now lodged in the jail
at Shasta.

The Emperor of Russia has one great ad-
vantage over his adversares, in extensive tel
egraph communications, and almost to the
scene of war in the Crimea, by which he re-
ceives intelligence from the battlefield seve-
raj days in advance of the allies. The Rus
sian dispatches from the Crimea are sent by
courier to Koursk in forty hours--they are
transmitted from there to Moscow by the
signal telegraph, and from Moscow to st.
Petersburg by magnetic telegraph. From
st. Petersburg they are sent by the signal
telegraph to Warsaw, and from Warsaw by
electric telegraph to Vienna, Berlin, Ham
burg, Paris and London. The accuracy Of
early news through this source has been fully
tested by subsequent adyices, and the news
from the Crimea by way of st. Petersburg is
more relied upon than the reports received By
the government of France and Great Britain.
The telegraph lines between Vienna and the
nearest port in the Black Sea are now nearly
completed, and it is semi-officially announced
that news will probably be transmitted in a
few days from SebastUpOl TO Paris within the
space of forty eight hours. Thence it can be
dltfused all over the continent instantly.

Broadway was going on. Amid the shout

bed, opened the window, thrust out his head,
and cried out, q Go it, old boys, go it that
puts me in mind of Sacramento!" Where
upon he slammed down his window, and

How People take Cod.

mcable sticks to you like wet rag; not by hoeing
potatoes until you are in ather of sweat; not by
trying to head pig in mid-wipter, and induce him
to rEn the other way, for he won't do any such

Curious Fact in the Census.

On looking over the Compendium Of The Cen
sus we discover some interesting facts. which We
lay before our readers.
The remarkable equality in the number of males
and females, which is said to exist in the world Is
strikingly illustrated in table of the number of
each sex, of which the particular States of their
natiyilies have been asceFtained. The male total
6,JfG, 1871 female, 6.55sI36, which gives TIE
latter about ii 900 majority in an aggregate Of
100000 But in the total population Of the U
nited States, the number Of females IS about one
twenty-ffth less than that of the males.
These figures apply only to the whites. Among
the free colored population, greater difference is
observable. Of40O,O0O of the latter, the States Of
whose nativities have been ascertained. there are
nearly 10000 more females than males.
With regard to the slave population, the num-
bers Of each sex are even more closely equal than
those Of the whites The total of males is Coz.
525 and of females, l,60l ,77s-sbowing differ
ence Of only 200 in an aggregate Of 100000.
This remarkable equality OF numbers in a meas
ure neeessitates similar equality in regard to a.
ges, and eOnclusiyey settles the question that NO
men, as general thing, are not younger than ner.
Inc State vi NcW Olk contains about one
eight of the Union, aud Pennsylvania one-tenth.
The three smallest places in the United States
are Harris, Essex county, Vermont, having
population Of eight; AveriIl, in the same county,
with population of seven; and Liberty, in Kes-
kuk county, Illinois, with population Of FIVE.
