More Mobbing.

After the Cincinnati Fugitive Slave
Case, was decided, and the fugitives re-
manded back into slavery, they were
taken to COvington and confined in the
jail. The owner. the slave catchers, their
assistants and friends. had a jolli6cation
at the Magnolia House in ~Covington,
where speeches were made. A Reporter
of the Cincinnati Gazette was present ia
king notes. Of his treatment there, the
Gazette says
As it was getting dark and the crowd
began to disperse, u reporter then left.
While he had been standing in the crowd,
with his pencil in his hand. he frequently
he I'd such remarks as, "See that id
abolition reporter" What business
has he over here from Ohio ?" but
thought nothing Of them He had gone
two or three blocks from the Magnolia
House toward the river, when he was
suddenly struck behind. He turned
around, but was Immediately surrounded
by a crowd, struck by a number of per-
sons, and knocked down. One respecta-
bic looking man demonstrated with the
crowd, but with no effect. They cried,
s'Tar and feather him. duck him"
/" He's a id abolitionist, give him
h-ll. tTake him down 10 the river and
put him on to a cake of ice, and let HIM go
to the d-l:" This last suggestion
seemed 10 delight Them, and they sur
rounded him and proceeded toward the
river. He noticed a number of men in
this crowd whom he had seen in the
Court rooms, during the trial Of the case,
serving as special deputy marshals from
Kentucky. Just as they reached the
Ievee they were joined by a small party,
some Of them deputy Marshals fiom Ohio,
who had come over to assist in, bringing

ty city marshal of Cincinnati, recognized

shooters and ordered the Kentuckians TO
stand back. They obeyed but the mo-
ment the ferry boat had left the landing
the Kentuckians crowded on the wharf
boat and shouted their curses and threat
enings, swearing that If they ever again
caught the id abolition reporter on
that side Of the river they would kill
him.
The courage manifested by the slave
chivalry was certainly of a high order.
A crowd set upon a single uDarmed man,
knock him down, and would probably
have finished by drowning him. A few

GAME IN CALIFoRNIA.-The "Mari-
posa Gazette furnishes the following
cheering news concerning game in hat
country:
Hunting is said to be very good nicer
tain localities in this vicinity. Mast has
never been so abundant since the fall of
'49. Bears and Deer are coming down
from the mountains in great numbers
Quails are abundant in all parts-and
Grouse are numerous neal the heads of
the Chowchilla and Fresno rivers. To

forest, which affords a good rsusing
fire, sleep in the open air. after a hard
days travel, what can't a man eat, and
digest too; and what is more conducive
to health, strength, and spirits. Go all,
every one, and try it.
A subsequent number of the same
paper contains the following:-
A very large grizzly was killed recent
ly a short distance frcm this place, back
in the mountains. The name of the
hunter so successful is not given US
The animal was supposed to weigh about
1900. Two sportsmen killed eighty
mountain grouse in one day, upon and
near the heads of the Chewchilla, re-

time, and it must be considered as very
uncommon luck. The grouse is as large
as a common hen, (leaving out shang-
hais,) and the flesh is much more tender
and delicious.

a Man of Bone.

HeIc is a curious fact. The flesh of
a living mar once grew into bone. 1t
seems hard to believe, but l suppose it
was so /; for in the Museum at Dublin,
there is, or was, the skeleton of one
Clerk, a native of the city Of Cork, whom
they call the Ossifed Man, one of the
greatest c~uriosities of nature. 1t is the
carcass of a mar entirely ossifed in his
lifetime, living in that condition for
raj years. Those who knew him before
this surprising alteration, affirm that he
had been a man of great strength and
agility. He felt the first symptoms of
this surprising change some lime after a
debauch, till by slow degrees every part
grew into a bony substance, except his
skin, eyes and intestines /; his joints set
tied in such a,manner that no ligament
had its proper operation, he could not
lie down or rise up without assistance.
He had at last, no bend in his body, yet
when he was placed up like a statue of
stone, he could stand but could not
move in the least. His teeth were Joined
aHd formed into one entire bone-there-
fore a hole was broken through them to
convey liquid substance for his nourish.
ment. The tongue lost its use, and
his sight left him, some time before he
expired.

GREAT PROFIT ON WH1sKY.-Thepres-
ent price of raw whisky in this city is
thirty-four cents per gallon, which yields
an enormous profit to the distiller. He
pays thirty cents per bushel for his
corn--new coin-grinds out about four
hundred bushels per diem, which makes
upward Of one thousand six hundred gal.
Ions Of new whisky, or rather more than
four gallons 10 the bushel. Thus a BUSH
el of corn costing thirty cents yields to
the manufacturer upwards of four gallons
of whisky, which, at thirly-four cents
per gallon, amounts to the snug sum of
five hundred and forty four dollars per
day. The nett profit on this single days
work of converting cor into whiskey is
fully two hundred and fifty dollars, or
upwards of one thousand FIVE hundred
dollars per week, provided the work is
suspended on Sunday.

A History of the Most Remarkable Ex,

Fourteen Hundred Years.
From a long article in the Edinbu

From a long article in the Edinburgh
RsvietO we extract the following:
In the year 401 the Black Sea was en-
tirely frozen over. In 462 the Danube
was frozen so that Theadmafe marched
on the ice to Swaiba 10 avense his
brothers death. In GAG, the cold was
so intense that the strait Of Dardanelles
and the Black Sea was entirely frozen
over. The snow in some places drifted
to the depth Of fifty feet, and the ice
was heaped in such quantities in The
cities rs TO cause the walls to fall down.
In $50, the Adriatic was entirely frozen
over. In 891, and also in sos, the vines
were killed by frost, and the cattle died
in their stalls. In 991, the winter lasted
very long, and was extremely severe
Everything was frozen, and famine and
pestilence closed the year. In 1867,
the cold was so intense that most of the
travellers in Germany were frozen to
desth-on the roads. j In 1913, it was ex-
cessiyely cold in Italy ; the Pc was fro
zen from Cremona to the sea the heaps
of snow rendered the roads impossible ;
the wine casks burst, and trees split by
the frost with an immense noises In
1916, the river Pc froze to the depth Of
sixteen ellis, and wine also burst the
casks. In 1884. a pine forest was killed
by the frost at RaYenna. In 1885, the
frost was mostintense in Scotland, and the

were buried with snow. In 1892, the
Rhine was frozen, and in. Germany six
hundred peasants were employed to.
clear the way for the Austrian army
In 1914, all the rivers in Italy were fro
zen over. In 1884, the winter was so
sever that the Rhine and Scheldt were
frozen, and even the sea at Venice. In
1863, the winter was so severe in Flan-
ders, that the wine was cut with hatchets
TO be distributed to the soldiery. In
1870, the frost was very intense in Eng
land and Denmark /; both Little and
Great Bel. were frozen over. In 1884,
many forest trees, and even the oaks in
England were split with the frost. In
1892. the cold was so excessive that the
starved wolves entered Vienna, and at
tackled both men and cattle. The cold
of 174O was scarcely inferior to that of
1892, and the Zuyder Zee was entirely
frozen over. In 1776, much snow fell,
and the Danube bore ice FIVE feet thick
below Vienna.

that communication has been opened

The embargo laid on all the rail tracks,

that the entire eastern mail for this part

which the business portion of our COM

arrived here by the cars about 8 o'clock

ffty-one mailings, containing in all, at
least, one hundred and fifty bushels of
