Two Persons EATEN UP ALIVE BY WOLVES
Owing to the extreme cold weather for some time
past the wolves in pot:awattamie County have
become dangerous neghbors. Poultry yards and
sheep folds have been robbed TO great extent,
and in severa! instances the hungry beasts have
not been inclined to spare the human species.
About three weeks ago a man was returning
from a prayer meeting, accompanied by his two
daughters, one sixteen and the other twenty three
years ofage, They were all on the same horse,
when suddenly pack of timber wolves assailed
them aud being unable to escape by flight they at
tempted to defend themselves.
But the ierocious brutez attacked the horse, rem
dcrng him unnanageable. The Oldest daughter
was partly thrown and partly dragged to the
ground and instantly deyoured This enabled
the father and other daughter to escape Several
neighbors were soon mustered, but upon repair
ing to the spot nothing was found but one shoe
and very few remnants Of the unfortunate girls
clothing.
A boy of thirteen years old left his fathers
house to get water at spring, which was about
half mile distant, since which time nothing has
been seen of him The pail was found near the
soring, also some marks of blood. and a lock or
two of hair. Several persons have been chased
by these savage monsters.-Keohak Post

CANON CITY, March 10th, 1856.

EDITOR JoURNAL:-On Saturday evening,
as usual, | went to Jackass to get letters
and papers. Judge of my astonishment on
arriving to find the Misses Pelby and Cleve-
land, with Mr.. Blackburn, of San Francisco
and Weaverville theatrical notoriety |
could hardly believe until my senses realized
our secluded, isolated, mountain-bound, gold
producing valley resounding with such deaf
ening, hearty, sido-widcning roNrs Of applause
as if by magic or enchantmcnt those bright
stars of the theatrical circles Of Frisco drew
from the lungs of the Pixies, Suckers, and
Sons of Erin. The entertainment was Of
the choicest selection of songs, Ducts, &c.
Had we ever heard Jenny Lind or Kate
Hayes, we might institute comparison;
but in the humble opinion of your correspon-
dent it W as beyond the reach of the pen of
the critic. On Sunday evening business of
near a general enquiry could be heard in the
crowded street in front of the Sebastopol
Theater, "have you got your ticket" The
hour came; the door was opened; stimuli
taneous charge was made, and amid the
deafening tread of heavy boots Sebastopol
was taken. Assisted in the singing by Mr.
Miller, of our place, Messrs. Jones and Doug
lass playing an accompaniment on the violin,
the Misses Pelby and Cleveland were hear
tily encored, and if possible as highly appre-
ciated as on the evening previous. They
left this morning for WeaverAille, not with
out promising to return We encore them
again, and assure them their appearance
would be most satisfactory.

STARTLING STArsuCs-In a temperance
speech, delivered some time ago, at Granite,
and which was published in the State Jour
nal, Gen. A. NJ Winn presented some sta
tiStlcs which must startle the sober people of
Sacramento:
He says that there are in this city, ITO
licensed grog shops-these pay license per
annum amounting to $l3, ,000-it is esti-
mated that each of these houses must average
receipts amounting to $50 per day---this
would give s., 100 per day; one hundred
and ffty-three thousand per month; and
one million, eight hundred and thrty-six
thousand dollars per annum. Then extend
the calculation to thepopulaton of our State,
which, say, is three hundred thousand; as
suming the population of Sacramento to be
twelve thousand Inhabitants If all the bal
ance of the State were to pay in the same
proportion for whisky, then the enormous
amount expended, would be twenty-three
millions OF dollars per anhum. Now let us
see what effect this whisky stream has upon
the body polite of our county alone. In
the last twelve months there have been over
fourteen hundred imprisonments in the Sac.
Aailchlo Pilooh oioh0 H"y ing hotnlllS OF the
county imprisonments-nearlya all these have
been sent there through the influence of
whisky.
The amount spent in Sacramento fol-
whisky, shows that it is about one hundred
and fifty dollars to each man, woman and
child, living within its limits, and that, too,
without counting the amount donated in pr
vate houses, stores, &c There are, say six
thousand tax payers in the city; then tc
each tax payer it is equal to $4,000 And
yet, when it is proposed to levy tax of one
dollar on the thousand dollars worth O.
property, for the education of the children o
our county men raise their hands with hor
ror at such an enormous tax. -

UT IHt JUUTHuI'
The State Prison Bill.

1t will be seen by reference to the Legis-
lative proceedings that bill has passed that
body authorizing the keeping of the State
prisoners by contract at a cost not to exceed
fifteen thousand dollars per month ii. c. $l5,-
900 month) to the State. Is this right?
This question may be more readily answered
by reference to the action of the Legislature
of 1855. That body passed law creating
a Board of Inspectors and defining their
powers and duties, which gave them full con-
troll of the prisoners and the providing for
their support The first Board was appointed
by the Governor according to the provisions
of the law, and the second elected by the
people at the last general election, and en-
tered upon their duties on the first day of
January, 1856. Are the three Directors
elected by the people not competent to dis
charge the duties of their Office, thereby call
ing for the action of the Legislature to lease
out the prisoners at the nice little sum of
$3.50, 900 year, and the labor of the pris-
oners thrown in to the lessee to bind the bar
gain. There is something about this mat
ter that is hard to understand. The present
Directors will have the management of the
matter; that is, they are Directors and will
draw their salaries the same as though the
above bill had not been passed. Another
strange feature in the action of the Senate
is, that an effort was made to let the con
tract by receiving proposals after public no
tice for the same had been given, and let the
contract to the lowest responsible bidder
This amendment was voted down by the
same majority that the bill was passed with.
Can any person in his right mind believe
that any man will take the contract of taking
charge of the State prisoners without a
profit out oft? Indeed, he would
not be sane man that would take charge
of set of the greatest desperadoes in the
country unless he was to be remunerated for
his risk and trouble. The people elected
three men for this very purpose with full
powers to carry the whole matter into effect,
and if profit is to be made, or rather some
thing saved, why in the name of Heaven is
the State of California not to receive the
benefit of it? She has elected her officers
and provided a salary for them that they
were willing to serve her in that capacity
for and a salary that will have to be paid
The Governor had not signed the bill at last
accounts, but he toM apprOrc II, and thus
another Water Lot scheme fastened upon
the people. X.

A MARVELLOUS MIRRoR.-Among the Gu
riosities which were exhibited in the Paris
Exposition, was a huge concave mirror, the
instrument of a startling species of optical
magic. On standing close to it, it presents
nothing but magnificent monStrouS diSSec-
tion of your phySognomy. On retiring
couple of feet, it gives your own face and
figure in true proportion, but reversed, the
head dowuwardS But retire still further,
standing at the distance of five or six feet
from the mirror, and behold! you see your
self not a rehection-it does not strike you
as a rehection-but your veritable self, STAN
ding IN the middle part, bet1ceea y0u and the
mirror! The effect is almost appalling, from
the idea it suggests of something supernatu-
raj; so startling, in fact, that men Of the
strongest nerves will shrink involuntarlly at
the first view. If you raise your cane to
thrust at your other self, you will see it pass
clean through the body and appear on the
other side the figure thrusting at you at the
same instant The artist who first succeeded
in fashioning a mirror of this description,
brought it to one of the French kngs-if
We recollect Alright, it was Louis NN-
placed his majesty on the right spot, and
babe him draw his sword, and thrust at the
figure he saw. The king did SO; but, seeing
the point of q sword directed to his own
breast, threw down his weapon and ran
away. The practical joke cost the inventor
the kings patronage and favor; his majesty
being afterwards SO ashamed of his cowar-
dice, that he would never again look at the
mirror or its owner.

A MAN UNLAwurLLv HuNc.-At
the last fall term Of Walker county
Court, a man by the name Of Franklin
was condemned to be hung for muir
der. The Jail Of Walker county not
being considered very secure he was
imprisoned in the Jail at this place,
for safe keeping. until the time ap-
pointed for his execution. which was
last Friday. He was taken away by
the Sheriff Of Walker county early
last week In the meantime peti-
ton having been sent to Gov. Winston
for a reprieve, on Thursday afternoon.
the Sheriff Of this county received an
order from the Governor to hold Frank
lin in his custody until furthe, orders.
but the convict had already been tai
on away TO the place Of execution IN
Walker county. The Sheriff Of Tus-
caloosa forthwith dispatched runner,
who, having ridden all night, placed
the reprieve in the hands ofthe Sheriff
Of Walker soon after sunrise on Fri
day morning The Sheriff Of Walker
looked at the document. and said that
as it was not sealed paper. itmight
possibly be "a forgery. and he would
not obey It, accordingly executed
Franklin at the sot time.
We are unable to say whether the
Sheriff Of Walker can sustain the L.
gnlity Of this proceeding. TO us ;taps
pears very much like an unjust homi-
eide, and we would not like to be ex-
actly in his place. But they sometimes
do strange things in the " State Of
Walker" Many Of our readers may
have heard. and probably supposes it
to be merely joke at the expense of
that enlightened county. that a man
was once convicted and sentenced to
be hung there, for burning down an
old barn, which he himself had built
and which be was untcnantcd by any
living thing; in fact it was his own
property, and the burning Of it injur-
ed no one in the world, If not himself.
But there is no joking about 1.-THE
thing actually occurred. The man
did burn the burn, and was sentenced
to be hung for it.-Tuscaloosa Moni-
tor.
