THE BULLDOG ANr-There is in Austria
liza an ant known by this name, from its pug
nacious disposition. If accidentally cut in
halves, one half will fight with the other
half. Mr.. Hewitt mentions an instance
which fell under his own observation. One
of his travelling companions, in fit of irrl-
tation, cut one in pieces The head imme-
diatey seized the body with its mandiblcs,
and the body began singing away manfully
at the head The fight went on for half an
hour without any diminished sign of life
and this is what they always do Instead OF
dying as they ought to do they set to and
fight away for hours, if some other ants dc
not come and carry them away; whether to
eat them or bury them we know not. But
the flies Immediately eat flies that are
crushed, and ants eat the remains Of crushed
ants

CHLoRoFoM-At a recent sitting of the
Academy Of Sciences at Paris, NJ. Flourens,
speaking Of the power of choroform, re-
marked that its use in the field hospitals of
the army doubled the strength and power Of
the surgeons, as they are more masters of
their action when operating on an inert
mass, and are no longer disturbed by the
cries or movements Of the patient In the
campaign in the Crimea, chIoroform was en-
ployed, he stated, more than $4,000 times,
and always with success. This immense re-
suit, said NJ Flourens, is the best reply to
those who had felt apprehension at the use
of this powerful auxiliary to surgical oper-
ations.

Rough and Ready Water Company.

1t is with pleasure that we inform our
readers that the project Of bringing the wa
ters of Stuarts Fork into the WeaverYille
diggings, has again revived, under circum-
stances farmore favorable than those attend
ing the first attempt The Rough q Ready
Company have recorded a notice in the Re
cordcr's Office, that they claim eigdt hundred
Siutceheads of water out of Stewards Fork,
and one handred siutoe Aedds out of Rush
Creek. 1t is the intention Of the Company,
forthwith to erect a Saw-mill at their head
dam on Stewards Fork, and build ilume
the entire distance.
We are informed that the Company pos
sesses sufficient capital to carry out their de
sign. and are determined this time it shall
not fail. The fume will be prepared and
framed at the Mill, then hoated down as it
is built, and put together. 1t will be about
80 miles long.
We have long been satisfied that Aume
was the only practicable way by which the
waters of Stewards Fork could be brought
into Weaver The mountains are altogeth-
cr too steep for ditch slides would occur
so frequently, that a regular and constant
supply Of water could not be depended up
on by miners, and the cost Of keeping it in
repair, amount to more than the receipts
With fume it is quite different Once
built, and it is permanent, and will last un
til the lumber decays From the systemat
ic manner in which the Company are going
to work, we have great confidence in it;
success.
The benefits arising to this mining section
from its successful termination, will be i'm
mense. The fume will be sufficiently elcya
ted to pass over the Oregon Gulch ridge
thus commanding all the diggings situated
within the Weaver basin, and on the Ore.
gon Guch ridge Many of these pacers
are known to be exceedingly rich, and the
lack of water has heretofore prevented their
being worked
With the waters of Stewards Fork rush
ing through our gulches, Weavervile will
become tile town of the North. We extend
our most hearty wishes for their success, to
the Company, and trust they will be as
ready as the route of the fume is rough

MELANCHOLY SUIcIDE-On Wednesday
night last, Abraham Ritter, aged about ff-
" wears, committed suicide in his cabin on
Salt Creek. 1t seems that Ritter visited
the dead-faU in the upper or west end of our
town known as the Clipper Saloon. While
there, two of the sharpers who hang about
the place pretended to be earnestly engaged
in game Of poker During the game one
of them received hand which could not be
beat, and his opponent Immediately com
menced betting largely against him. The
sharper Of the stroug hand then purposely
displayed his cards so that they could be
seen by persons standing around, saying as
he did SO that he had not sufficient money
to bet with his opponent. Ritter Tell an
easy victim to the trap. He took the cards,
bet SI40, and claimed the stakes Sharper
No. 2, however, refused to give up the
money, saving that Ritter's hand contained
six cards instead of five This proved to
be true-two of the cards having been skill
fully waxed together-and the robbery Of
Ritter was completed.
The loss of his money so preyed upon the
spirits of the old man, that he soon after re-
turned to his cabin and committed suicide
by shooting himself with a pistol. Upon
his person was found about twenty-three dol
lars in coin and two and a half ounces of
gold dust Coroner II. j. ShpGticfT held an
inquest on the body on Thursday last The
jury returned the following verdict
We, the Jury Of Inquest on the body of
one Abraham Ritter, found dead in his
cabin on Salt Creek, on the east side Of the

witnesses intimately acquainted with de

the deceased came to his death by his own
hand; and we are further of opinion that
the act was caused by his having been swim
