fifth RESPECT TO 'HowLlNG-The .aIfa
gfumbles about this paper and Others 'howling'
at the Bay journals for multiplying Frazer river
stuff. Before we proceed to howl much at the
.Alta we desire to be informed who writes things
for it? AT present it is about as responsible for
the truth of its statements as a catcal under The
floor. The Alta, though very large is not q
great paper, and under the circumstances we
guess it isn't worth while to howl
Our firm conviction is that several newspapers
receive small fees TO manufacture and print ex-
citing news from the north Persons who write
editorial for daily paper for free ticket to the
theatre in the evening, would not be very hard to
contract with for Frazer river correspondence
The Alta will not pretend to deny that its price
for unconditional putting is twenty cents line; :;
it is reasonable to presume that the Steamship or
Hudson's Bay Company could charter several
san francisco papers, at very cheap rate. But
this is one department of the trade-and we
shan't interfere, farther than to caution people
against beliering the incredible stuff. Does any
one think that the ship companies, now making
Fortunes by the trade, are stupid enough not to
buy papers of easy virtue to keep up the excite
ment! so FAR as we are concerned, we don't care
how many go to Frazer river; but understanding
the vlllainy perpetrated by some Of the msnamed
independent press, we cannot conscientiously
permit others TO be misled by persons, who, in
the sacred garb Of truth, are but the wind nstru-
meDts Of speculators and monopolics.

CONCLUSION TOMORROW

SHOCKING CASE OF DKsTITUTIoN-A
Nan Starred to Death, and his Body Eat
en- bg Rats.-Tho body of an old negro
named Redman was found last Tuesday
afternoon in the celler Of the tenement
house, No. 10 Mulberry street New York.
1t presented a dreadful spectacle, the head
and face having been nearly devoured by
rats. The unfortunate being actually
died of starvation. He lived quite alone
in the cellar since the death of his wife,
few weeks back. His ne ghbcrs (who are
mostly poor negroes) knew that he was a
state of destitution, in consequence of Lis
inability to find any employment of any
kind, but were unable to help him. They
saw him alive for the last time on SunGa;
as he was descending into his wretche,l
abode. Yesterday afternoon attention
was attracted by a shocking stencil pro-
ceeding from the cellar. Some of the
neighbors entered and were horriied at
the spectacle which presented itself. On
miserable pallet lay the elnaciated
corpse, surrounded by hundreds of rats,
who. were with difficulty driven away
ftom their horrid feast. There was not
the slightest trace Of food found, and
the few cold embers in the stove were all
that remained Of the furniture Notice
was sent to the coroner, and the inquest
will be held to day at the place where the
body was found, and where it still re-
mains. Where are good Samaritans,
when such things can occur in the midst
Of plenty?

A STORY OF A JACK KNIFE.-The
Boston Ledger tells the following: In
1856 a youth, then residing in Maine,
owned a jack-knife which he, being of
somewhat trading disposition, sold for
gallon OF West India rum. This he re-
tailed, and with the proceeds purchased
two gallons, and eventually barrel,
which was followed in due time with a
large stock. In word, he got rich, and
became the Squire of the district through
the possession and sale of the jack-knife
and an indomitable trading industry. He
died worth property in real estate and
money value for $50, This was d.
vlded by testament among four children
three boys and girl. Luck, (which
seemed to have been the guardian angel
Of the father, deserted the children; for
every folly and extravaganza they could
engage in seemed to occupy their exclu-
sive attention and cultivation. The
daughter married unfortunately, and her
patrimony was soon thrown away by her
spendthriit Of a husband.
The sons were no less fortunate, and
two Of them died in dissipation and in
poverty. The daughter also died. The
last Of the family, for many years past,
has lived on the kindness of those who
knew him in the days OF prosperity. as
pride would not allow him to go the
poor farm. A few days ago he died,
suddenly and unattended, in a barn
where he had laid down to take drum
ken sleep. On hispockets being exam
ined all that was found in them was a
small piece Of string and a jack kn!fe!-
So the fortune that begun with the I'M
ploment of that kind left its simple du-
pliclte. We leave the moral to be drawn
in whatever fashion it may suggest it
selfto the reader, simply stating that
the story is true one, and all the facts
we'll known to many whom this relation
will doubtless reach.
