in the nature of man to be satisfied, he
one day said to peighbor, he really wish
ed he could hear his wife scold once, for
the novelty ..of the thing. Whereupon a
sympalhizing neighbor advised him to- go
to the woods and get load of crooked
sticks, which would certainly make her as
cross as he could desire. According
ingly the farmer collected load of the

taking care that his spouse should have
access to no other wood. Day after day
passed without a complaint. At length
the pile was consumed.
well, wife, said the farmer, i am go

just such as got last time
oh. yes. Jacob, she replied, 1T will be

HT The funeral of murdered police
man, Rigdon, in Baltimore, was very i'm
presslve affair. A large number of people
Witnessed it from the street and from wind
ows and house tops. One paper says
The coffin which contained the body stood
beside the passage to the door in the room
where he met his death, and as the people
who had gathered in the house passed out,
every one had an opportunity to view the
corpse. The body was dressed in the pa-
lice uniform, with standing collar and
black cr.vat. The lid of the coffiu, which
was plain, bore the simple record, inscrib,
ed on silver plate in the shape of heart:
Robert M. Rigdon. Died Nov. 8, 1858.
Aged 81 years The coffin WAS ornament
ed with silver handles, and nails of the
sam meterial, and on the lid, which laid
back, revealing the face of the deceased,
was bouquet of fresh roses The sobs
of the bereaved wife, during the ceremony
were audible, and the sight brought tears
into the eyes of the spectators. The Amer
lean says the punishment of the murderers
must be swift and certain. Thar fearful
and abherrent crime must be eYpiated with
their lives. The supremacy of the laws,
the welfare of the community, the person

Strange Circumstance.

A few days since, Gays the
Cincinnati En1uirer) a gentleman
residing in the vicinity of Rising
Sun, Ind, who had married a
second time, wished to remove the
body of his first wife to a new
cemetry. Preparations were made
in the usual way to open the grave,
but the laborers could not raise
the coffin, SO great was the weight.
After Obtaining considerable as
sistance, however, t he men sue.
ceeded in raising the coffin from
the tomb. They had such curiosi.
ty that they could not resist the
temptation Of peering into the
coffin and learning the reason for
its unusual weight They did SO,
and found, much to their astonish-
ment, instead of the remains of a
corpse, a stone figure, the exact
counterpart of the woman who
had died. The strange story soon
spread, and hundreds and thous-
ands of persons were present to
see the strange spectacle.
The husband took the body of
his departed spouse home, and has
it there now, where lis visited by
hundreds of tie scientific and GU
rious. The body seems to have
become petrifed, and to- have be-
come a perfect stone woman. The
probability is that it has become

LATER FROM FRAZIER RIVER MINES. -
The Gazette. publishes letter from Port
Douglas, a new town site on Harrison iiv-
er. The writer, under the date of the
eth, says:
There mas been numerous arrivals at
this place during the last three days, of
parties from the upper Frazier, Some leav
ing the country for good, and other going
below after provisions to carry back to
that region. Some of these parties repre-
sent that they have been up Frazier river
distance OF from 25 to 50 miles above
where the new route strikes it; and also up
Bridge river from 90 10 40 miles, that they
prospected the bars thoroughly wherever
they went, with the following results:
they found the color almost everywhere,
on the high banks and the tops Of the
mountains, as well as on the river bars;
they could make from three to FIVE dollars
per day on any the bars they met with
Occasional pockets would be struck, from
which ten to fifteen dollars would be taken
from as many pans of dirt, but the average
men might calculate on making at the pres
ent stage of the water will not exceed four
or 1--we dollars.
The river in that vicinity. however. is
still to high for successful operations, and
those who spent the last winter on it say it
viii. frll from 20 to 80 feet, when one or
two ounces day can be made on the best
without fail. The gold taken is some
what coarser than that below the canoDs.-
The dust from Bridge river is much coars-
er,being in thin flakes, something like the
scales of fish--compared with the bulk it
shows, it is very light, There is, no
doubt, much fine dust lost. as no quicksil-
yer has yet been used in that section
Since writing the foregoing, party of
twelve arrived from the Upper Frazier,
bringing still more uufavorable accounts of
the diggings in that quarter, and there are
signs of Responding in the Camp to day,
and certificates for provisions short time
since at premium, or rather dropping.

The courtesy was returned, when the
Governor continued:
Il hope you will be moderate in all
your notions of propriety in regard to
your fellow citizens, and live a good chris

The parson, with the eccentric look pc
culiar to himself, stretched himself up, and
remarked:
