AS1sGrr,RCAsy OF SrFFocATIoS.-Coroner Con-
merry was yesterday called TO hold an inquest at the
foot Of Cedar street. North River, on the body OF Jo-
.eph Tavenor, a seaman who was found lying dead in
a mall boat. The circumstances attending the death
Of TayenCr are of very singular nature, and but Tor
the excessive use Of strong drink in all probability he
would row have been alive and well. The following

THE TETON REsERvArIoN-W learn from
Colonel Vineyard, Indian Agent, who has been
in this region on a visit. that the Tejon Reser-
vation, which is under his particular charge, is
in a lourishng condition. The reservation
contains some of the richest agricultural land
in the State, and supports one thousand Indians.
Many of the women perform as neat needle
work as can be doue by our most civilized ladies,
and are also very industrious in the feld.-The
men, however-that is to say the middle aged
elass-are very lazy, aud can scarcely be made
to work at all. The boys from II to l6 togeth-
er with the Squaws, do the principal part of the
labor. The boys do it with high degree Of
pleasure-the squaws because they have always
been used to drudgery, and the old men from a
sense of duty, believing, as they do, that the
immemoriai custom of their tribe which makes
old age state Of servitude is right. The pros
pect is that the middle-aged class of men can
never be made of much account, but the rising
generation give promises which are highly graf
flying to the phlanthropist-Ca Express.

THE FIELD FAMnY.-The following paragraph
is going the rounds of the papers in the East.
"Few families of brothers exhibit more talent
and enterprise than the Fields, natives of Stock
bridge, Massachusetts,, but now all occupying
prominent positions before the country. Cyrus
w. Field. long known as an extensive dealer in
paper in the city of New York, has lately rem
dered his name familiar to the world by his
prominent connection with the Ocean Telegraph.
Mathew D. Field, State Senator from this coun-
ty, is also engaged in the same enterprise, and
is at this moment cruising with the Company's
steamer in the vicinity of Trinity Bay. awaiting
the arrival of the vessels with the cable, and
the result of the experiment.-Davd Dudley
Field is known as distinguished lawyer in the
City of New York-Stephen j. Field is the
Democratic candidate for Judge of the Supreme
Court of California. Jonathan p. Field is an
able and prominent lawyer in Stockbridge,

widely known is not behind the others in abiii-

SOUTHERN PACIFIC RATLRoAD-"We learn from
our Texas exchanges" says the Stockton AryaS
"of the arrival at Shreveport (La) Of the first
locomotive for the Pacific Railroad, and also of
the completion of the first section of that rail
road. The completion Of even this small sec
ton of the road, will of itself lead to an impor-
taut freight business. 1t is estimated that with
in twelve months, at least fifty thousand bales
of cotton will be conveyed from the interior of
Texas, over the road. to Swanson's Landing.
The freighting BUSINESS will continue to increase
with every mile Of the road that is constructed;
and as soon as it is built one or two hundred
miles, the road will have as much traffic as it
eau possibly attend to-"

OUTRAGEOUS CASE OF LYNCHING.-The Calave-
ras Chronicle of Oct 10th, relates the following
On Sunday evening last a man by the name
of Lorenz, was invited to ride to Mokelumne
Hill in buggy by man named Smith. They
pot in the buggy and started towards the Hill.
and when about huff mile from Campo Seco.
three men sprang from the road side, stopped
the horse, and took Loreuz from the buggy.
Smith then drove on with the buggy. They
then took Lorenz to high fiume. put a rope
round his neck, and demanded from him some
money said to have been stolen from one Hop
kins. His reply was that he knew nothing about
any money belonging to Hopkins. They then
drew him up to the 6ume, and after nearly
strangling him, fet him down, and agaif made
the same demand, but with no better success.
This was repeated three or four times, when not
receiving any confession from him, they took
him to a tree-stripped and tied him, and began
whipping him-ten strokes, and then demand
for the money. This was repeated five times;
when. finding that no answer to suit them could
be had. they united him and permitted him to
CO. The men were five in number and we're all
masked.
Lorenz had been previously arrested on sus-
picon of having taken Hopkins money, but
was discharged, without an examination, there
being no testimony against him.

POSTAL CoNvENTIoN-We learn from Wash
ington that a postal convention has been con-
cluded between the United States and Hamburg
The mails are to be exchanged by means Of Uni
ted States or Hamburg mail steamers, running
direct between New York aud Hamburg The
postage between the United States and Ham
burg under this arrangement is ten cents the
single letter of half ounce or under, prepay
ment optional, and two cents on newspapers,
prepayment required. The rates to all coun-
tries beyond Hamburg, whether upon letters or
printed matter are the same in all respects as
the rates charged riG Bremen, under the United
States and Bremen postal convention.

HIGHFALUTIN DIPLoMAcY.-A treaty Of amity
