A FACT FOR SPTRTTUALTsTs.-Dr Lardner, the
divine, mentions an account by Damascus Of a
battle fought near Rome with the Scythians
commanded 10y Attila in the time of Valentino
the third, who succeeded Honorious, in the year
425 where the slaughter on both sides was so
great that none on either side escaped, except
the generals and few of their attendants; and
which is very strange, when the bodies were
fallen, the souls still stood upright. and still
continued fighting three whole days and nights
nothing inferior to living men, either for th c
activity of their hands or the irceness of their
minds. The images of the souls, therefore, wer e
both seen and heard, fighting together and clash
ing with their armor. Damascus, moreover,
endeavors to confirm the truth Of this by other
re, stions of like kind,

PIONEER OF THE MoUNTAINs.-The pioneer mi
ner Of Sierra county, is one of the most remark
able OF California mountaineers. In the fall OF
lS49 he found his way to the head waters OF
the Yuba and there built the first cabin in what
is now Sierra county. Since then he has never
been to the Sacramento Valley, but keeps lit
tie in advance of the settlements, marking out
with his hatchet the trail to be followed by the
less adventurous. If new mining town is laid
out, it is pretty sure to be the ashes of one OF
Major Downie's old camp fires; the Major has
been there year or two before. "blazing' the
trees and digging prospecting holes' along
the streams. He has dug, with his own hands,
gold enough to break the back of a mule, and
expended most of it in looking for more and as
sisting others less fortunate. He is Scotch
man, intelligent and cultivated; with gener-
ons, manly heart, strong arm and an open
hand and exercises a greater influence among
the miners than any other individual in the
mountains-AQo.

THE MYSTERIES OF New YoRK-The New
York correspondent of the Charleston Courier.
gives long account of most strange story
which he alledges to be strictly true A below
ed and elderly pastor of one of the New York
city churches was called upon one night by
man who requested him to go and christen two
Of his children. He promptly complied As he
was returning home he was accosted by per
son who called him by name ard accused him of
issuing from house of iIl-fame Money was
demanded Of him, and in default of paying it he
was threatened with exposure. The clergyman
took no notice Of it for awhile; but his steps
were dogged perpetually, till finally it began
TO wear upon him. He told no one but left and
went to Europe, thinking thereby to escape
from his tormcntors. But he was mistaken.
On his return they still pursued him. He re-
signed his charge, to the astonishment of his
parishioners. who could not comprehend the
reason. He went to a country village, was still
pursued. and it is believed that dreading the ef-
fccts of such reports. false though they were,
he actually paid bush money. Finally the ras-
Gals were arrested for some other villainy when
this whole affair came out, and the clergyman
came back to his church. 1t is incredible that
pastor should cover to such scounlrels.

THE Posr Office IN THE RURAL DISTRICTS

THE PosT Office IN THE RURAL DIsTRICTs.-
A countryman went to the Lowell post o flee
with bank bill for dollars worth Of postage
stamps; the clerk wanted specie, and he straight
way returned with four Spanish quarters; these
being also denied admittance, except at a dis
count, he came a third time with hundred
coppers, and very copperish look of exulta-
ton. Being informed by the official behind the
window that coppers were not legal tender
to larger extent than three cents at q time.
the man from the rural district cody purchased
a single stamp, and repeated the operation till
his prosecutor caved and took in the remaining
cents in lump, much to the internal satisfac-
ton of the individual outside.-EbcddRge

FREAK OF NATURE--It is not often. says a
recent number of Honolulu paper, that an
opportunity is afforded to witness such freak
Of nature as occurred in our town on Tuesday
last. 1t was the birth of a native child with
four legs end -four perfectly formed feet. There
were two limbs besides, neitner iSgs nor arms,
but mere stumps. TIC Tac natural legs and feet
were located as in any perfectly Toin;;ed chlld;
the other legs are placed in front of these anC
are smaller. as are also the feet. Perhaps the
best idea we can give of it, to those who have
never seen it, is that it resembles perfectly
formed child, excepting the addition of two ex
ira but smaller legs just in front of the natural
ones, and close above these third and fourth
legs, are the stumps of arms alluded to. The
child has natural arms and hands in their pro-
per position Physicians think it may live, as
it appears to be in healthy condition.

SPURIOUS SEED.-Some of the seeds distribu-
ted by the Patent Office through Congressman,
turn out to be humbugs, and the unlucky me
diums Of transmission are catching it' from
their constituents, who believe them guilty of
practical joking Among others, "ground al
mOnds" were distributed by Senator Butler, of
South Carolina, but the unfortunate recipients
of this new Nessian shirt discovered too late,
that their Senator had. under the name of
"ground Almonds" imposed on them the seed
Of that pestilental grass, the great terror of
southern planters, known as caco." Mr..
Butler has had very laborous and vexatious
task in responding to the numerous letters of
complaint from his constituents, in regard TO
what many of them considered very sorry
practical joke in dignifed official and elderly
gentleman.

ANOTHER CAPTURE.-The Hongkong Register
Of March Sd. states that the river steamer Queen
left that harbor on the 23d ult., with a number
of first class Chinese passengers on board, Mr.
Osmond Cleverly, M. Weir, and several Portu-
gese and China women. She had also as cargo
100 chests Of opium The crew consisted mostly
of Chinese. on the Lantoa, and whilst the cap
tain and cabin passengers were at dinner. the
Chinese passengers took possession Of the arms
and ammunition Of the arm chest. Mr. Cleverly
on rushing to The gangway. was shot in the
thigh. At the same moment, Capt. Wynn re-
ceiyed a cut on the head. The former, notwith-
standing bis wound. made desperate resistance,
but finally threw himself overheard, and, after
being an hour or more in the water, was picked
M by loreha, and taken To Macao TT" Ga;ter
after her caDture, was brought into one of the
branches OF the river, where she was surround
ed by fleet Of Mandarin jGnks. The govern
ment of Hongkong offered rewards for the ap-
prehension of the captors.

VTGnANTEs AT THE EAsT.-The Louisville
Journal says:
The efforts of the Vigilance Committee in Cal
fornia to obtain an amnesty from the Leglsla-
ture for their past offences have proved alto
gether fruitless An overwhelming majority OF
both branches of the California Legislature
unite in virtually condemning the Committee
This is right and proper. 1t is due not only to
the dignity of the law but to the best interests
of society. 1t was the perfection of absurdlty
to think of asking the sanction of law for such
an outrageous anomaly as the Vigilance Com
mittee.

A COPPER BLoCK.-The Lake Superior lfoae7
publishes the following:
If our friends below wish the description Of a
Lake Superior specimen, the exste nee Of which
we agree to vonch for. let them read the para
graph below, aud they will find it to he some
thing worth publishing.
There is now in the Minnesota Mine, between
the adt and the x fathorn level, a single detach-
ed mass of apparently pure metallic copper
which is some tortyJiOe feet in length, and in the
thickest part as much as eight or nine feet in
thickness. If it is as pure as it appears to be,
it contains probably more shan .fUe hundred tons
Of metal, and Is certainly worth az it lies, more
than one hundred and ffy thousand dollars.
