A CALIFORNIA WIDow.-About nine years
ago, man living near Bangor, Ne, left his
wife aud thee children. for California. He
wrote letters home for two or three years, after
which no intelligence was received from him,
although rumOrs of his decease came back
His wife. after the lapse of some five or six
years from the time Of her last word from him.
married respectable returned Californian.
What was her surprise. few days ago, on re-
ceiving letter from her missing husband, ac-
counting for his long silence in this wise Soon
after writing to her last, he sold out his claim
in California, and went to Australia. While
excavating tunnel, in company with five 9TH
ers, the earth fell in upon them. and killed three
of thoir number He was rescued: but was so
injured in the head as to cause arrangement of
mind, in which condition he remained three
years and a half When he recovered he sailed
again for California, where had just arrived

marriage. but did not reprove her. or signify

THE UPAs TREE.-An exchange says the sto-
ry that the Upas tree of Java exhales poison
Gus aroma, the breathing ofwhioh causes death.
is now known to be false. The tree itself Sc
cretes juice which is deadly poison, but its
aroma or oder is harmless Strychnine is made
from the seeds of a specie of Upas tree Such
is the name of district the atmosphere OF
which produces death. This effect is not occa-
stoned by the Upas tree, but by an extinct vol.
cano near Batar, called Guava Upas From
the old crater and the adjoining valley is ex.
hailed carbonic gas, such as often extinguishes
life in this country in old wells and foul places
This deadly atmosphere kills everything thai
comes within its range-birds, beasts, and even
men-and the valley is covered with skeletons
BY confusion of names, the poisonous effects
of this deadly valley have been ascribed to the
Upas tree, the juice of which is poi, onous and
hence the fable in regard to the deadly Bohuu
Upas tree.

COMMUNICATED.

July Goth, 1858.
Dear Bcacon,-Your columns have already
been graced with a complimentary notice OF
BlakistOne'S Pavilion and its new proprietor.
Mr.. r. H. Marshall. Induced by the glowing
terms in which its attractions were therein set
forth, and prompted by my own desire to re-
visit a section of our county which no one
leaves without regret, attended the grand
party of Thursday last and cannot refrain from
adding another testimonial to the happy ar
engagements which now exist there
The party, as you are aware, in regular
course should have come of on Tuesday, but
was postponed TO this evening, in consequence
of a wedding occurring in the neighborhoul at
that time, which originated an unusual season Of
fun and froIic among the gay citizens of the
Neck. This formed the winding up party
the bridal company being in full attendance.
It is not my custom to be n mere looker-on.
and soon was minging in the merry dance,
a victim, perhaps, Of those charms which can
be but family described. The bride, whose
lady-hke, engaging manners and lively cunver-
satioR have always rendered her ballroom
favoTite, retained her accustomed stand. We
see no reason why that stand should ever be
resigned, though everyday experience, at least
IN our county, would nearly establish it Gus

the evening-were l. 70 de 81 the catalogue OF

soon be exhausted and diSagreeable repetition
Of words could not be OiGed,-suffice it 70
say, that more attractive and brilliant ball
room in that respect could not be found. Sc.
Mary's, as usual, contributed her full share,
yet there were fair strangers, beautiful and
fascinating, upon whom we cannot confer q
greater compliment than to confess q wish to
call them st. Marians. The dancing was in
terrupted by summons to supper-and such
a supper-the enthusiasm of Epicurus himself
would have been awakened at the sight
knowing my incompetency to mete it justice
l shall let it rest, or rather VANISH, a it mosi
assuredly did.
Upon the close Of the party, most of the
company from q distance left for home, pre-
ferring the night travel to the heat of the day
As there was no moon. il would not be sur
prising to hear Of lost ones, many i know
being strangers to the road. If any of nv
young friends was thus 80 unfortunate he has
my sympathy-especially if any concurrins
circumstances besides the eccentric roads tended
TO peEplex bis judgment.
