LIFE IN CALIFORNIA - Tmu1Hs
ADvENTUREs.-In the Washington Re-
view of this week we find letter from
| George H. Hornish, now Of Marysville,
California, but formerly resident Of
Canonsburg, Washington county, to his
sister, in which he relates some rather
startling adventures which he has re-
Gently had in the land of gold. It sp-
pears that investing his money in q
claim which did not pay him one cent
on the dollar, he concluded to leave the
place, and after procuring a remittance
from San Francisco. where be had some
money on deposit, he started South
again, accompanied by three comrades
named Moore, Jackson and Antoine,
the two former, as we Judge from the
tenor of the letter, being natives Of
Pennsylvania-perhaps of Washington
county.
The party had to cross high noun
tain to reach their destination, and the
second day had ascended its slope
distance of nineteen miles, when almost
dying from thirst, they found spring
and encamped by it for the night. They
got supper and lay down TO- rest, but
were soon after awakened by the cry Of
a Grizzly Bear. Hornish ran to the
nearest tree, and succeeded in getting
Antoine and himself up it; but Moore
and Jackson were attacked by two ani-
mails, which proved to be panthers in
stead of bears, and almost instantly
killed. Hornish fired three times from
the tree and killed one Of the brutes, but
not until his comrades had both fallen.
In his letter he exclaims, 81 would to
God our assailants had been bears, for
then we should have all been saved"
Hornish and Antoine resumed their
journey next day, and reached point
known as Thompson's bar, without
Here they were seized by
Indians, of which there was camp in
the vicinity, robbed of all their effects,
and turned bareheaded and tarefooted
out of the camp. They hurried away
from the place with all the speed they
were possessed Of, but had not gone
more than two miles when they heard
the Indians behind them, in pursuit.
Believing that they intended numbering
them, they took refuge in the bushes,
each in q different place. Hornish re-
manned concealed during the night, and
in the morning ventured to crawl out,
when the first object that met his view
was the lifeless body Of Antoine. The
scalp had been taken off, and it pre-
sented ghastly appearance.
He was now alone, but nothing
daunted, he pursued his journey, and
in the end reached Marysville, where
he was stopping when he wrote his letter.
His adventures were indeed Of q most
thrilling character, and show us that
the remote districts of Cali.
fornia, is still attended with dangers,
Of which but few Of our readers have
the least conception.

Musk. This well known scent is
imported from China, Bengal and Rus
sia. It has a bitterish and somewhat
acid taste, and in color resembles dried
blood. This scent is obtained from the
musk deer, and possesses a most pene-
trating and diffusing odor, rather agree
able when feeble, but when concentra-
ted it is decidedly offensive SO dltfu.
sive is its power that few grains will
scent a room for years and it never
seems to fade in strength. Tonquin
musk is the most esteemed. Pod musk
is the natural bag containing the musk,
and each one weighs about six drachms,
