FROM CALIFORNIA.

NEW YORK, Nov. 19.-The steam
ship Northern Light arrived this morn
ing with California dates to the Goth
ult. She brings no specie, the troubles
on the isthmus having induced shippers
to select the Aspinwall route. The
mail steamship that left San Francisco,
on the Goth, ult., had two millions oI
gold on board.
All was quiet on the Isthmus; Wal.
ker and the Chamouni party have agreed
upon terms of peace. and Gen. Riva has
been appointed President after the dec
lination of the latter, who has been ap-
pointed Commanper-in- Chief of the
Nicaragua forces. Parker H French,
formerly of the Sacramento Tribune,
has been appointed Commissary of War.
The people of Nicaragua appear to be
pleased with the new state of affairs,
and no mere trouble appeared. Col.
Kinney remained at Greytown, and Gen.
Walker is reported to be disposed to
drive him out of the country.
The steamship Sierra Nevada from
San Juan arrived at San Francisco on tha
9th ult.; during the trip she lost As pas

A DISTRESSING SUICIDE.-The Rome
Sentinel gives the following account o.
suicide which took place in the town
of Camden on last Saturday week:
"Mrs. William Allen, who resided
with her mother about two miles from
the village of Camden, committed sui,
eide by cutting her throat with a razor
"In September last Mrs. Allen lost
her husband, who was carried off by
consumption; few days thereafter she
gave birth to a child; the child lived
one week from the day Of his fathers
death, when it died. Mrs. Allen con-
tinued in a rather feeble state of health
until the time of the mournful event
mentioned above-which was exactly
FIVE weeks from the death of her hus-
band. She exhibited, however, no sign
of ALTERATION of mind, though she
mourned deeply over her Affections and
the loss she had sustained. The night
previous to the suicide she slept as fol
weeks previous, with her mother. the
mother arose in the morning, as usual,
leaving Mrs. Allen in the bed; who
manifested, however, no change in her
demeanor or conduct.
"Soon after, the mother, on going in
to the room, beheld one of the most
frightful spectacles ever presented
There, in the bed, was her daughter
with her throat cut, weltering in hel
blood. There was a deep cash in the
throat, which Mrs. A. had inflicted will
razor taken from the mantle-piece II
the room. When the mother entered
the door the dying woman stretched on
her feeble hands toward her materna
parent, embraced her, and imprinted
many fond kisses upon her cheeks, bu
did not utter a word. She seemed t.
be conscious of what she had done, o
her approaching dissolution, but neither
expressed nor maintained desire Il
live; on the contrary, she repelled al
assistance which was kindly tenderet
her, and tore from the gaping and bleed
ing wound bandage which the kint
and affectionate mother had PLACED
there. Every assistance in the powe
of human agency was rendered to re
store Mrs. A. to life, but all efforts wer
unavailing.
"Mrs. Allen was sister to Mr.. Johl
Lamble, Esq, of Camden. She wa
married little over year ago. and wa
very kind and affectionate wife, and
dutiful daughter. Her death came wit
a crushing force upon her relatives, 70
she was beloved by all who knew her.

on soil that does not contain the natur-
al elements that enter into its compost
ton. When you burn a vegetable, a
large part of its bulk passes away dur
ing the process of combustion into the
air. But there is always residue OF
mineral matter, consisting of lime, pot
ash, and other ingredients, that entered
into its composition. Now the plant
drew these materials out of the earth,
and if you attempt to grow that plant IN
soil that is deficient in these ingre-
dients, you are driving an unsuccessful
business. Nature does not make veg
etables out of nothing, and you cannot
expect to take crop after crop off from
field that does not contain the elements
of which it is formed. If you wish to
maintain the fertility of your farms,
you must constantly restore to them the
materials which are Withdrawn in crop
ping. No farmer can afford to sell his
ashes. You annually export from
Western New York large amount of
potash. Depend upon it, there is no.
body in the world to whom it Is worth
so much as to yourselves. You can't
afford to sell it, but farmer can well
afford to buy ashes at higher price
than is paid by anybody who does not
wish to use them as fertilizer of the
soil. Situated as the farmers of this
country are, IN the neighborhood of a
city that burns large quantities Of wood
for fuel, you should make it part Of
your system Of farming to secure all the
ashes it produces. When your teams
90 into town with loads of wood, it
would cost comparatively little 20 bring
back loads of ashes and other fertilizers,
that would improve the productiveness
of your farms.
No poor man Oan afford to keep poor
fruit trees that do not bear good fruit.
Good fruit is always valuable, and
should be raised by the farmer. Lot only
for market, but for large consumption in
his own family. As more enlightened
views of diet prevail, fruit is destined
to supplant the excessive quantities of
animal food that are consumed in this
country. This will produce better
health, greater vigor of body, activity
of mind and elasticity of spirits, and L
cannot doubt that the time will come
when farmers, instead of putting down
the large quantities of meat they do at
present, will give their attention in au-
tum 10 the preservation Of large guam
titles of excellent fruit for consumption,
as regular article of diet, the early part
of the following summer. Fruit will
not then appear on the table as it does
now only as desert after dinner. but
will come with every meal, and be
reckoned a substantial aliment.

A VALUABLE BUcKEr.-Among the
many curious modes of making money
here, none, | think, surpasses the fol-
lowing:
A surgeon told me that he went one
day into the tent of brother medicus
on the Bendigo, Just as a patient was
going out.
81 have been stopping toOth," said
the surgeon.
"DO you get good cement here?" in
qulreu my friend.
"Admirable!" replied the surgeon
81 saw an old gutta percha bucket SELL
ing in lot OF old tools one day at auc-
ton. | bought the lot for the sake of
the bucket, which cost me five shillings.
l have already stopped some hundreds
of teeth at a guinea each, and shall, no
doubt, stop thousands with it before the
old bucket is used up. 1t is a fortune
to me. My name is up for an unriylled
dentist, and they come to me far and
near.-Iwo Years IN Victoria.

years ago off the coast of South Ameri-
ca-what do you see!''
al see," replied the student, ga whita
light rising near the window, but it has
no form, it is like an uncertain cloud"
We-the spectators-remained pro-
foundly silent.
"Are you sfraid?" asked the mer,
chant in loud voice.
81 am not" replied the student firm
ly.
After a moments silence, the pedlar
stamped three times on the ground and
sang:
"And the phantom white, whose elad-cOld
face
Was once so fair,
Dries with his shrOud his clinging vest
And his sea tossed hair"
Once more the solemn question:
"You, who would see revealed the
mysteries of the tomb-what do you
see now?"
The student answered in calm voice
but like that of man describing things
as they pass before him:
81 see the cloud taking the form of
a phantom its head is covered with a
long veil-it stands still"
"Are you afraid?"
al am notp'
With strange and frantic gestures he
then sang:
"And the phantom said to all the mocking
/ come from the South;
Put thy hand on my hand-ihy h~--. - ~
Thy mouth on my mOuth?''
"What do you see?"
"He comes-he approaches-he pur-
sues me-he is stretching out his arms
he will have me? Help! helpl Save
mei''
"Are you afraid now?" asked the
merchant in mocking voice.
A piercing cry, and stiAed groan,
were the only reply to this terrible ques-
ton.
"Helpt that rash youth" said the
merchant bitterly.
81 have, think won the wager; but
it is sufficient for me to have given him
lesson. Let him keep his money and
be wiser for the future"
He walked rapidly away. We open
ed the door of the summer house and
found the student in convulsions. A
paper, signed with the name Francis
Villiers," was on the table. As soon
as the students senses were restored,
he asked vehemently where was the
vile sorcerer who had subjected him to
such horrible ordeal-he would kill
him. He sought him throughout the
inn in vain; then, with the speed of
madman he dashed across the fields in
pursuit of him-and we never saw Ell
ther of them again.
That children is my ghost story.
"And how is it, good uncle, that after
that, you don't believe in ghosts?', said
l the first time heard it.
Because. my boy, replied my uncle,
neither the student or the merchant ey-
er returned; and the forty-five guineas,
belonging to me and the other travellers
continued equally invisible. These two
swindlers carried them off, after having
acted farce, which we, like ninnies be-
lieved to be real.

MELANCHOLY OCCURRENCE. - Three
Persons Poisoned One dead.-AbOut
FIVE miles from Paris, on the Winehes-
ter road, lived two brothers, Henry and
Rodolph Stolsenburg, mechanics, who
had negro woman hired to cook and
keep house for them
Shortly after eating dinner, on Mon
day, 9th inst, the two men and woman
were seized with violent sickness, vomi-
ting, purging and intense abdominal
pains. A suspicion of poison arose in
the minds OF the men, and DR.. Ray, OF
Paris, was sent for. He soon found
that they we're poisoned by cooking
their dinners in a copper bottomed stew
kettle, in which the remnants of their
breakfast had stood till dinner.
Rodolph died the next morning, after
great suffering. Henry and the woman
are in fair way to recover.
All house-keepers should forthwith
dispense with all copper vessels in pre-
pairing their food--PGris Citizen, No

And wept within their shade
We hung our harps amid their leaves,

For now We bind our harvest sheaYes

They've borne us far away,
How can we sing the olden strains,
We sung in Judah's palmy day?

%Very dangerous counterfeit five

description of the spurious note: Most
prominent among these defects is the

line runs beneath the border very closr

mathematical precision, and is very
close to the border. In the imitation
the line is further from the margin. and

The vignette in the spurious note is
slightly blurred, as in the word Bank,

body of the note. In the genuine note,
in the view Of the banking-hOuse at the
end of the plate there is a fine line
which runs along on line with the caps

It. They had become an object for
parties to pay court, and they were
wooed to one side and the other by
every sortof promise and Vancouver.
They feel their influence, and are
claiming their share in all the Offices in
the country; not as Americans, but as
foreigners; for they keep up separate
political organization, and are as much
for foreigners here as in the heart Of
Germany.
They favor us with their view in re-
gard to improvements in our govern
ment. A fellow had hardly shaken the
dust of the Black Forest off his feet till
he was suggesting amendments to the
Constitution; and some of the things
they proposed TO give us in exchange
for our liberties were curious enough,
they would abolish the President and
the Senate, and have single popular
branch of Legislation, whose members
could be recalled at pleasure. They
would give us their German dream of
democracy.
Kossuth-that begging patriot-who
got his country in fight and then was
the first to run away and leave her,
charged the Germans here to band
themselve together and watch their op-
portuity to vote in such way as to ben
eft their father-land. He did not up
braid them for doing SO. They had a
right to love their country as he had to
love his, but to submit to be governed
by this foreign horde was to make as ma
the born the oaay aliens in our native
land, He then spoke in glowing terms
of the Union, and said he loved the
American party because it was devoted
to its preservation. Their principles
must ultimately prevail. They would
continue to advocate them notwithsland-
ing their failure in other States; would
submit to be called proscriptionists, if
loving their own countrymen better
than any other made them such, till
these principles should be triumphandy
established at the capitol of the nation.

SEPARATING THE SEXES IN SCHOOL,
On this point Mr.. Stow, a celebrated
Glasgow teacher, used the following
language:
::The youth of both sexes of our
Scottish peasantry, says Mr.. Stow, have
been educated together, and, as whole
the Scots are the most moral people on
the face of the globe. Education, in
England, is given separately, and we
have never heard, from practical men;
that any benefit has arisen from this ar
rangement. Some influential individu-
ais Enere, mourn over the popular pre-
judice on this point. In Dublin lar
ger number of girls turn out badly who
have been educated alone till they at
tain the age of maturity, than those
who have been otherwise brought up
the separation of the sexes has been
found to be positively injurious. In
France. the separation of the sexes in
youth has been productive of fearful
evils. 1t is stated on the best authority
that, of those girls educated in schools
of converts apart from boys, the great
majority 90 wrong within a month after
being let loose on society and meeting
the other sex. They cannot, it is said,
resist the slightest compliment or flatte-
ry. The separation is intended to keep
them strictly moral, but this unnatural
seelusion actually generates the very
principles desired to be avoided.
We may repeat that it is impossible
to raise girls intellectually as high with
out boys as with them; and it is impos-
sible to raise boys morally without the
presence of girls. The girls morally
elevate the boys intellectually elevated
by the presence of girls. Girls brought
up with boys are more positively NOR
al, and boys brought up in schools with
girls are more positively intellectual by
the softening influence OF the female
character.
In the Normal Seminary at Glasgow,
the most beneficial effects have resulted
from the more natural course. Boys
and girls, from, from the age Of two
and three years to fourteen or fifteen
have been trained in the same class
room, galleries and play ground, with
out improperly; and they are never
separated except at needlework.
