California and Oregon News.
The following is from the Shasta,
California, Courier.
We are panied to learn that Sylves-
ter Langdon, who lived several miles
this side of McCumber's Saw Mill,
met a horrible death on the Sd of Ju-
ly. He was out following a COW for
the purpose of finding young calf
which she had secreted in the woods,
when he was attacked by grizzly
bear, and horribly mangled. The
lower part of his face, including his
right eye, with one lick of the ami
mails huge paw was dashed distance
Of ten feet from his body. This blow
must have killed him instantly. he
was, however, in several other places,
bitten and torn in shocking manner.
Mr.. Langdon's gun was found BY
his side loaded, with the cap upon it
snapped. 1t is supposed that he fired
upon the bear once, and then running
| OF, reloaded and returned 10 tne
charge, when, the gun missing fire,
the bear had it all his own way. The
same bear, on the same day killed a
remarkably active OK, which would
have weighed at least 800 hundred
pounds. When found, the OK had
almost every bone broken, while his
flesh was torn to shreds. 1t has been
discovered that this bear will trail a
man or OK, SO that he has become ex.
ceedingly dangerous. Some idea may
be formed of his strength from the fact
that he dragged the OK, after it was
deada considerable distance, a feat
which a yoke of oxen afterwards
/ fa lied to accomplish. -Lr a'sq .7a

vent banks, in which some Of them
were interested; reveals the coveted
object of the mercenary Republican
leaders, and their utter disregard OF
decency in grasping at it. Nearly
forty thousand dollars of your money
was advanced by the Republican
Treasurer to the Attorney General, to
set him up in business as a discoun-
ter of kiting bills & and large deposits
were made in banks, in which the
Treasurer and one Of the Supreme
Judges are believed tohave been large
ly interested. [ralt.l4kl
The vast infetiOrity Of the Republi-
can Legislature, to any other that ev-
er assembled in Ohio, became mani
fest before it finally adjourned. That
it would be unableto perfect and pass
a single measure Of general utility;
might have been predicted from the
nature of its composition. 1t was a
conglomeration of the most discor-
dant elements, thrown together by the
waves ola furious but evanescent ag-
itation, and unable to agree upon any
subject but one. with which it had no
power to interfere. Had it been cleo
ted to govern Kansas, the majority
might, perhaps, have acted with vigor
and unanimity-; had it been empow-
cred to nullify the laws of the United
States, it would have effectually over
thrown one Of the last acts originated
by the lamerted Clay but, as its le-
| gitimate province was to devise meas
ures for the benefit of Ohio, it speedi-
Ily divided into rancorous factions,
whose virulent animosity continues,
and refuses to be allayed, even in the
desperate exigency in which their Gov.
en0r finds himself. ..s.-..e
In conclusion, the Committee, after
instituting the fullest inquiry, and
using all the means at its command to
obtain reliable information. gives you
the strongest assurances, that deci-
sive and complete victory awaits the
Democracy. To insure consumma-
ton so devoutly to be wished, every
Democrat of0hio, and every man who
loves her and the Union better than
a fanatical and merCenary cabal,
should use his active exertions. De-
vote yourself, for few days, to the
, hest interests of your State deliver
her out oftho unholy hands into which
she has fallen, whose rule, Of only two
: years duration, has made her bank
t rupt in money, in character, and in
o influence and when, by your patriot
Y ic efforts, you have reinstated her in
the proud position among her sister
!. Commonwealths, to which she is Of
/ right entitled, you will, each and ev-
: cry one, in his own proper person,
/, reap a manifold harvest from the seed
n you have sown. '-1 I'd.

An Interesting Case of Insanity.

On Wednesday evening an interesting
case of insanity was brought to our notice oy
gentleman who came up on the cars from
Cleveland. which possesSe more than the US
ual interest attached TO similar Instances. II
was no romantic story oflove, seduction ana
desertion. but singular alteration OF mlnd
from no seeming cause whatever, beyond the
most trivial. The subject was fine appear
ing girl of Is or 20, whose parents and trends
reside in Kentucky, some thirty or forty
miles back from the river.
The young lady in question had been
spending couple of months with trlelds be-
tween Columbus and Cleveland, and while
there became very much attached to mock
ing bird in the house where she was visiting.
The bird sic ;ened and died few weeks ago,
and soon after, the young lady began to
show symptoms OF arrangement; bewailed
the loss of the bird most piteOuSly, and tnal-
" became so mentally excited at times that
her friends concluded to send her back to her
home. With this view, in company with an
attendant, she was put on board the cars Tor
this city, on Wednesday, and while on her
way up, contriyed to open vein in her arm
with sharp point of a pair of scissors from
which the blood flowed freely before the self
violence was discovered by her attendant
On the flow of blood being observed, the lady
attempted TO stab herself in the side with
the scissors, but in consequence of the thick
ness Of her clothing the flesh was scarcely
penetrated, and the wound but slight On
her arrival in this city, the young lady was

written to, and Yesterday morning crossed

The Sphynx.

Near the Pyramids, more wondrous and
more awful than all else in the land Of Egypt,
there sits the lonely Sphynx. Comely the
creature is, but the comelinesS is not of this
world ; the once wcrshipped beast is de-
formity, and a monster to this generation, and
vet you can see that those lips, so thick and
heavy were fashioned according to some an
cicnt mould Of beauty-some mould of beau
ty now orgotten-forgotten because that
Greece drew forth Cytherea from the fash
ing foam. OF the Egean, and in her image
created new forms Of beauty, and made it
law among men, that the short and proudly
wrcathed lips should stand for the sign and
the main condition of loveliness through all
generations TO come. Yet still there lives on
the race Of those who were beautiful in the
fashion OF the elder world; and christian
girls Of Coptic blood will look on you with
the sad, serious gaze, and kiss your charita-
bic hand with the big, pout:ng lip of the very
Sphynx.
Laugh and mock if you will at the wor-
skip OF stone IDOLS but mark ye this, We
breakers of images, that i'll one regard the
stone idol bears awful semblance OF Deity
unchangeluncss in the midst Of change-the
same seeming will and intent forever and ev-
er inexOra5le Upon ancient dynasties of
Ethiopian and Egyptian kings-upon Greek
and Roman-upoI' Arab and Ottoman con-
querers-upon battle and pestilence-upon
the ceasclcss misery of the Egyptian race
upon keen eyed travelers-Herodotus yestcr-
day, Warburton to-day-upon all, and more,
this unworldly Sphynx has watched and
watched like Providence with the same
tranquil mien. And we, we shall die, and
Islam will wither away, and the Englishman,
leaning far over to hold his loved India, will
plant firm foot on the banks Of the Nile,
and sit in the seat of the faithful and still
that sleepless rock will lie watching and
watching the works of the now busy race,
with those same sad. earnest eyes, and the
same tranquil everlasting mien.
