HuTcHISG's CALIFORNIA MAGAzINE.-We
have just received the November number of
this excellent periodical, which we would re-
commend to the perusal of all. As usual, it
contains great quantity of entertaining read
ing matter, the first being two accounts of
the first discovery of gold in California, writ
ten by Suttcr and Marshall, which will be read
with much interest in the Eastern States, and
is therefore valuable home present. 1t also
contains number of fine engravings, includ-
ing a good likeness Of Gen. Sutter. The Mag
azine should be patronized by every Califor-
nian, and the enterprising publishers are de-
termined to deserve it. 1t is for sale in this
place at the Book Store, southeast corner Of
the Plaza.

The TarantuIa--NoveI Vendetta.

Some Of our readers may have heard Of the
tenacity with which the yenomous tarantula is
pursued by All inveterate enemy, in the form
of huge wasp-invariably resulting in the
defeat and death Of the former. We were an
eyewitness to one of these conflicts last week,
while on ramble among the adjacent hills.
This is the season when the poisonous taran-
tula leaves his well-fashoned abode to peram-
bulate the dusty roads and the smooth paths
so often trod by the industrious miners, and
about their haunts dozen or so may be seen
any day, of this hideous enlargement of the
spider race, within circuit Of few yards,
leisurely vending their way along the roads
and bye-ways Often have we marked, with
attentive curiosity, his awkward gait while
lifting his long, unwiedy legs above the short
blades of grass, and wondered for what uses
and purposes this ugly little monster was
placed upon this beautiful globe.
While attentively watching the motions Of
one of these insects during our walk, we were
much surprised to see the object of our at
traction suddenly stop short in his wanderings
and raise itself up to its full hight, as though
watching the coming Of some unwelcome visit
or. We at first supposed that it had just es.
pied us and was expecting danger from our
hands but upon our retreating few steps,
he quickly erouched behind tuft of dried
grass, and remaining very quiet seemed to
make himself as small as possible. A slight
buzzng was heard in the air, and in moment
a wasp passed quickly near, lowering on the
wing, over his trembling victim, the much
dreaded tarantula. Like some bird of prey
the wasp remained thus poised a moment, and
then, quick as thought, darted down upon his
enemy, and stung him many times with great
rapidty. The tarantula, smarting under the
pain, began retreat, with all the speed o
which he was capable, but the wasp hung
over him with revengeful tenacity, and again
and again struck him with his venomous sting
Gradually the fight of the tarantular became
slower and more Irregular and at length, un
der the repeated thrusts Of his conquerer he
died, biting the grass with his terrible fangs
The wasp now seized his enemy, and com
menced dragging him away with what intent
we could not as business called us thence
at that time discover The wasp whose at
tacks upon the tarantula are so fatal, has {
long, slim, glossy, black body, yellow wings
and is armed with a very sharp, long, thorn
like sting, which may be seen protrudng as i
flies. 1t fears not the presence of man ol
beast when in pursuit of his enemy. Afte
witnessing the victory, we turned homeward
wondering why this feud began, which is fol
lowed up with such exterminating hates
like the practices of the higher animal man.

BUST UP."-Our readers will remember
that we last week referred to the danger of
placing the old steamer McKim-partcularl
as passenger boat-in the Sacramento trade,
as report said was about to be done and ex-
pressing our surprise that such an act should
be tolerated by the public. In verlication of
our fears then expressed, we have the follow
ing from the Sacramento Age:
WHAT HuMBuG The Opposition on the Sac
ramento" has collapsed flue. Onr dispatch states
that the old McKm has been tested and her boilers
would not bear the pressure described on her own
guage; the fiues bursted, blowing up and carrying,
skyhigh, very probably, all opposition"
There is not the least doubt that under the
usual course taken in such cases, the McKim
would probably by this time have been the
cause of the loss of many lives
