Soene I'm Young Lady's Bed Chamber.

Last Tuesday night, which will be remem-
bered as one of the warmest OF the season
young lady at the "West End " was excess
lively frightened by little circumstance which
transpired about the hour Of midnight.
This young lady, whose beauty is only
equolled by her modcsty, and whose "eye's
dark charm has caused more than one wais-
coat to papitate, had retired to her chamber
where, after laying aside the greater portion
OF her wearing apparel she committed her
sell TO the tender embraces of Morpheus,
whose soothing Influences We're aided by the
gentle breath Of Zephyr who came in at the
open window, and famed her cheeks with
bis feathery wing. In word, she was sno-
ring fnely-or TO use the language of mod
ern bard
Sleep on her velvet eyelids lightly passed,
Aud dreamy signs upheaved her snowey breast.
While star-beams thro the window softly creeping
Stole to her bed, and trembling there stood peeping"
1t was, as we said, about midnight, when
the young lady was aroused from her deli
cious slnmber by hearing noise at her win
dow. Half unclosing her eyes, she was star
tied by the sight Of a Compliant form, appar-
emily struggling to gain admission to her
chamber through the open window 1t
struck her at once that the intruder had been
caught by the rear of his unmentonables by
a nail or some other sharp instrument, as he
seemed struggling with stern determination
to enter. Her first thought was to faint
her second to give the fellow a pnsh-her
third TO jump out Of the window as soon as
he jumped in-her fourth, to scream, which
was Immediately carried into effect The
whistle of the locomotive on the Iron Noun
tain road, when it gave its first snort
on the 4th of July, was but whisper to the
creams of the Young girl The whole house,
and half the neghborhood were awakened
by the outcry.
The old folks, three servants, and two big
brothers rushed TO the rescue, and broom
sticks, mop-handles and boot,jacks flashed in
the gas light, as the household entered the
chamber Of the frightened beauty An
examination of the figure in the window dis
PEELED the fears of all, and changed the
screams of the yonug lady into shouts Of
laughter
The imaginary "fat man" was only her
own darling hooped SKIRT, which she had hung
near the window. and which the wind had
inflated and set in motion There was no
more sleeping in the house that night.
The happy termination Of the adventure
put the family in such good humor that they
laughed and talked until breakfast time
Young ladies should be careful about the dis
posal of their hoops when they go to bed

Honor TO WHOM Honor is DUE.-COm-
mander j +. Schenck, U. S n. has addressed
a letter on the subject of Col Fremonts
claim to the conquest of California to the
Dayton (Ohio) Journal, in which he claims
for the navy and marine corps alone the ell
tire credit, if any due, for that act, save and
except the personal services Of the late Gen
Kearny and his handful of officers and men,
Commander Schenck says:
" | am prepared to prove that so far from
his-Fremont's-being entitled to any credit
for his having failed to cooperate heartily
and efficiently with Commodore Stockton, so
far from assisting in the conquest, embarrassed
m-Stockton-in his operations, and rem
dered the victory less complete than it would
have been had we received from Fremont
the assistance We had a right TO expect
mounted, armed and equipped as he was. |
am further prepared to prove that in every
engagement aud every rout Of the enemy
which took place in California, Fremont was
invariably too late to take part; and to sum
up all, that during the whole of his service
in California, he was never within hearing
distance Of the enemys guns. The cause of
his inefficiency ! will not here discuss"
The New YORK Journal Of Commerce, af
ter copying the above, says; We have
reasons for saying that the naval officers of
this station concur in the opinion here ex-

A Race for Life.

On Monday, Ang. 26th, one of the stages
which run apon the Yreka road, left the Pitt
River station on its way from Yreka to the
valley. The coach had no passengers and
was driven by Jared Robbins, famarly
known among the drivers as "Curley jerry
After leaving the Pitt River station, the
road passes over a stretch of thirty miles,
through a wilderness in which no water can
be obtained, and without white inhabitants
A great portion of this distance is through
timber or chapparel.
After proceeding several miles over this
lonely and desolate road, shower of arrows
were suddenly poured in upon Jerry from the
thick bushes which lined each side of the
road. Wounded in several places, and with
many arrows sticking in his clothes and flesh,
Jerry put the whip to his horses and com
menced race for life through an ambuscade.
the extent Of which he was unable to deter
mine. The affrighted horses, hit with sever
al arrows, bounded over the ground flying
with such rapidity that the vehicle threaten
ed every moment TO copsize or smash in
pieces against the stumps and rocks. From
every bush and hiding place capable of con-
cealng foe, Jerry received flight of ar
rows. A length a small prairie was reached
clear and open, affording no lurking place for
the savages.
Fortune favors the brave, and fortune ia
yored Jerry. In the middle of this prairie
the coach, which had received many severe
shocks, suddenly broke down Jerry, bleed
ing from many wounds, hastily Jumped from
the box and commenced unhitching his hor-
ses from the vehicle. This action was OBJ
served by the Indians behind, who with a
thousand yells sprang from their ambuscade
and charged upon him But Jerry was in
time. He sprang upon one Of the horses
and leading the others, again commenced
running the gauntlet for life The prairie
was passed, and the team again plunged into
the dangerous chapparel. The ambuseade
still continued, and Jerry's clothes became
fairly rddled with arrows even to bis gloves
But although covered with blood he contin-
ued to urge on his horses encouraged bv the

A PosER.--An artist who had been en-
ployed to construct an angel, for the spire of
church in neighboring town, finished the
work with a pair of shoes on. Some one nu-
dertook to point out the error TO him, and
asked, "who ever saw all angel with brogans
on?" The artist regarded the work for a
moment, with an air of modification, but re.
covering himself rejoined, lyon may be right
but who ever saw one without?n
