SNAKE cHARMER BITTEN AGAIN. -
Wirsen, the snake charmer, was bitten
again, one evening last week, at the
California Exchange in San Francisco
Wirsen said that the light in the hall
was too imperfect to permit him to fix
the eyes of the snake on his own; but
the Vide Vest slyly insinuates that
the reptile had not been sufficiently
chloroformed, previous to the perform
ance.

was witnessed in that little village re-
Gently. Stephen Simmons and Miss
Sally Evans were united in the holy
bonds of matrimony by Squire in the

in which he was married.
Stole coat to get married in, did he ?

FATAL AccIDENT.-On Wednesday
afternoon last, man named Edwin R.
Lampry, was killed instantly, by the
caving of a bank, while engaged in min
ing at Walloupa. They had just COM
menced operations for the season, in an
old cut, and he was killed by the first
cave. A moment before the cave, he
was seen standing in the cut, and was
warned of his danger, to which he said
he would come out but it came sooner
than he had anticipated. Directly af-
ter the cave, it was discovered that
Lampry was buried, and his friends
commenced digging to find him. He
was found lying on his back in the
sluice box, where he was buried under
about six feet of dirt His position and
other indications showed that the mass
of earth struck him before he saw it.
His neck was disjointed, and he was Sc
verely begised about his head and back,
and deep cut over one eye. He was
about 2S years old, and was from Gil
manton, New Hampshire, near Concord,
where he is said to have very estimable
connections. He was highly esteemed
by his acquaintances here, and particu-
larry by his partners. n. IL. papers

ESCAPES. = The report of the grand
jury, in another column, completely re-
flutes the ISLANDERS of the Democrat in
regard to the escape of Gehr. 1t con-
tradicts completely the trade in the last
issue of that sheet. In that issue the
Democrat referred to the report without
announcing its contents, which it dared
not do, as it would thus furnish evidence
of its carelessness of truth The Demo-
crat is very much accustomed to pick
up street stories, and retail them as
truth, and often by this means blunders
as it did last week in reference to the
grand jury. We learn Mr.. Bidwell de-
nies having given the Democrat the
statements published by it in regard to
Gehr's escape.

NEGRO TESTIMONY. The bill pro-
posing to admit the testimony of chill
dren, indians, &c, was discussed in the
Senate on Monday last, when Senator
Bell took occasion to get off regular
anti-slavery speech. This measure has
generally been looked upon with favor,
and if judiciously managed, might be
passed but we suppose this ill-timed
harangue of Mr.. Bell, will effectually
kill it. The opponents of negro slavery
in America, have always been the most
indiscreet, and impracticable set of men
in the world-and none more so than
the leaders of the Republican party in
California.

da Connty:
We, the Grand Jury for the February
term ofthe Court of Sessions, having, in
the discharge Of our duties, investigated
the circumstances attending the recent
escape Of prisoners from the County
Jail, are constrained to believe that the
occurrence was not in consequence of
any earelessness on the part of the Off
GERS in charge, but is attributable to the
inadequate security afforded by the i'm
proper fastenings to the cell doors, and
10 avoid the recurrence of such an acci-
dent, would recommend the purchase of
a sufficient number of Tabs Patent
Locks, or some equally secure fasten-
ings.
And in concluding our duties, would

tesies extended to Us therein.

OREGoN-The Alta California of the
9th contains very interesting letter
from Portland, O T. The writer is a
Californian who is now travelling in that
country. He promises to continue his
correspondence, ald we have no doubt
but that he gives a faithful picture of
Oregon as it is. We have room only
for the following extract:
1t is my opinion California possesses
more healthy climate, but those who
have lived here many years think diff
ferently, and even award to Oregon this
advantage. At any rate the climate
here is more diversified and is more like
the climate of Ohio or Tennessee. The
winters are much longer and colder here
than in California, but even this is turn
ed to advantage, and made to subserve
the interest Of the farmer In every
town along the banks of the Willamette,
as far as l have ravelled-that is lao
miles above Portland-I could see the
black smoke oozing from the cracks of
from one to five large size smoke houses!
This last word speaks volumes. Thus
it will be seen that Oregon is destined
to become at no distant day, the 'Pork-
opolis" Of the Pacific coast.
This branch of business alone, will
bring vast amount of capital into this
territory, and will stimulate the farming
interest, as we'll as revoutionize the
present system of merchandising When
the pork packing business becomes more
developed, the merchant willremit pork
to the San Francisco market instead OF
coin or draft as now, thus making a
double business, where heretofore there
existed but one. In fact, with the pres
ent steamer Columbia, running here
twice month, together with all the
sailing vessels now employed in this
trade, down freight accumulates at this
point, and am told there is moro freight
now in the warehouses of this city, des-
tined for the San Francisco market
than the Columbia can possibly carry
away on her nexl down trip. 1t is safe
to say that $4,000 hogs will be packed
in this territory this season for the SaI
Francisco market, and that the amoun
slaughtered for home consumption vii
swell the amount to 10000. From thi
fact, it will be seen to be to the interes
of the San Francisco merchant, to turn
his eyes towards Oregon for some of hi
supplies, instead of New York, for Ore
gon pork will always command bette
price than that brought around the horn

PoTAToEs-THEY SHOULD BE KEPT IN
THE DARK.


At the last meeting ofthe American Insti-
tute Farmers Club, in New York City, there
was an interesting discussion on potatoes:
Solon Robinson. There are ten times as
many potatoes spoiled in this city BY light as
are spoiled by lrnst. II possible. a potato
never should see light. 1t should be taken
direct from the dark cell where it grows to a
dark cell for preservation, and. if possible, al.
ways keep il in the dark, and even tempera.
ture, until it is taken out 10 put in the pot.
DIR. Smith, have often observed in Ian.
cashire, England, with what assiduous care
the cottagers-many Of whom are dependent
upon their little crop Of potatoes-coyer their
potatoes as soon as possible after they are
dug. II is TO keep them from the light, as
these people know that nothing is more in.
jurious, particularly II tie sun is shining hot
upon them when taken IRON the ground.
Prof. Nash.-1'he common practice Of FAR
mers leaving potatoes on the ground in hot
October sun, is one Of the most injurious
things that could be done to the crop. Some
Of them are halt cooked, aud all are injured
by light and heat.

aftet several days summing. / think be
wosld lind it an advantage to pursue a plan
introduced into our neighborhood by DR.
Goree, which is to plant the peas in ridges
four or five feet apart, after he has taken of
his oat crop. Just before frosts he has the
vines pulled up and thrown into " win.rows." !"
After it has taken one days sun, and before
the leaves get dry enough to crumble, he has
the rows chopped in two every ten or twenty
ieet, depending upon the amount Of vine,)
then loaded on a wagon, and driven to a con-
venient place for stacks. which are made by
setting up posts fifteen or twenty feet in
height. well mbedded. and having holes bored
with two inch augur every two feet, through
which are thrust strong poles extending FIVE
or six feet on each side. On these are hung
the vines. from bottom to top. The stack
shoul ID be matched with oat or other straw, and
suffered to remain untouched for month ;
when he will find rich sweet food that will
keep his horses and mules (unless at wurk)
perfectly fat without the assistance Of other
food.
Another plan which we find successful, is
toputfhe vines in rail pens, having after
each load two TO or three rails thrust through
from one side to the other, SO that the next
load may partially rest upon them; in this
way, admitting a free circulation Of air.
ct q. G." will find BY adopting this plan
that his most fastidious horses will willingly
eat pea-hay.
