The Monster Oyster Bed.

Tho whole line of shore from Rocky
Neck TO New Haven has been reused TO
the most intense excitement over the nc
cidental discovery Of monster bed OF
more than monster oysters. The bed
lies n little over the centre of the Sound
in line bearing from the North to Ea-
tons Neck highland from party who
has dredged over il, we learn that the
bed is certainly from one mile wide 10
about two miles long. Other stories say
three miles wide and ten long But We
have taken much pains TO get at the
truth of the matter, and think the first
statement entirely reliable The dis
coyery was made week before last by a
party of five Daren fishermen, whose
names are VIM. Wood, Jas. Warning,
Thos. Garlin, William Hoy, Alexander
Stevens. These men were out fishing,
and CHANGED to drop dredge for anchor
over the bed, when on taking it up il was
filled with enormous biyalves, which led
to further investigation, and the result
stated. One vessel, last week, took up
seven hundred bushels in single day !!
The bed seems to be almost inexhaustible,
and must contain many millions of bush
els. We were shown samples of the oys-
tiers yesterday rs large as an ordinary
garden spade, the meats from which
looked more like beef tongues than the
ordinary bivalyel There were on Sun
day two steamboats, and about 100 sail
vessels on the ground dredging nearly all
day-(mostly New York people, we are
glad to hear.) This, Monday, everything
in the shape of a boat and an oyster
dredge has been brought into requisition,
and our blacksmiths are diligently at
work making more implements TO take
them with. There is no means of even
approximating at valuation of this dis
covery. Probably five millions of dollars
would fall far below the reality. Nothing
has ever equaled the excitement here
abouts among the fishermen and marine
spectators since The great Ring End
oyster war some thirty years ago, when
the long toms, &c, were brought out aud
charged to the muzzle to fire upon
the New Haven marauders. This bed is
in water from to fathoms, and there
is no telling what the effect is to be upon
the oyster market or palates of epicures

A NEW OVERLAND RoUTE.-A San
Francisco correspondent of the New York
Tribune learns that Capt. Simpson, of
the Typographical Engineers, has discov-
cred route between Carson Valley and
the Valley of Great Salt Lake even short
or than the route which he had been sent
out to explore. The facts Of the survey
ing expedition have been reported to Gen.
Johnston, and it is probable that here
after the bulk of the travel between Cal
ifornia and Salt Lake will go by the last
discovered route. There is good grass
and water all the way, and there will be
no trouble in taking stock overit. Capt.
Simpson says that it is equally rs good
as the northern route. Every one says
that cattle can be driven as far as Carson
Valley so late rs November-that is to
start from San Francisco in November.
The longest drive without water is one
day. MIR. Holiday is satisfied that by
this new route the stage travel between
Placerville aud Salt Lake CITY can easily
be made in four and half or five days.

CALIFORNIA ELECTION!

ST.. LOUIS, Oct. 2.
The State election of the 9TH resulted
in the undoubted choice of Milton S. La
than, Lecompton Democrat, for Cover
nor, by very large majority, perhaps
10000.
Scott and Burch are probably elected
to Congress, although their opponents,
Baker and McKibben, who received the
united vote of the Republicans and Anti
Lecompton parties have the benefit of a
slight doubt in their favor
The Anti-Lecompton candidate for
State Printer, who was also supported by
Republicans has slight choice of cleo
ton.
With three possible exceptions the
Democratic Lecompton State ticket is
elected by an immense majority.
Both branches of the Legislature arc
largely Democratic.
1t will be about week before the of
fetal returns are counted.

The Gram Movement.

The grain receipts at Chicago are indi-
cative of the grain movements of the
whole West, since that city is the great
est of the grain markets. Tho receipts
at that point Of flour and wheat, reduced
TO bushels of wheat, for the seven weeks
from August 1at 20 September 2lst, in
the years 1897, 1858 and 1859, have
been as follows, with the value thereof:

Value, S2,5l3,409 1,63O,12G 2,342,756
1t is seen that while the receipts of
wheat have been 100000 bushels more
than they were last year, the increase in
value has been but 100000; and that,
while they have been 10000 bushels
more than in 1857, the value is $l71 900
less now than it was then.
The receipts of corn and oats from Au-

years have been as follows:

EASILY ExPLAINED.-The black repub-
licans claim to have made some gain in
the recent Maine election over their vote
of last year. Perhaps it may be so and
the reason of it is easily explained. AT
their State convention they repudiatcd
the Philadelphia platform, kicked inter
vention to the dogs, and endorsed the
democratic doctrine of popular sovereign
ty in the broadcast terms. Such senti-
ments as the following, contained in one
of their resolutions, will gain voters any
where:
"That we hold uncquivocally to the
doctrine Of genuine popular sovereignty,
and the rights of the people in every
State and Territory to establish their own
institutions in their own way, subject on
ly TO the constitutional power of Con
gress, and the restraints of just morali
ty." bet. Free Press.

TRAGEDY OF WoMAN's LIFE. 1t is not alone
in the great tragedies of life it is more in the
unseen and private sorrows it is more in the
prosperous classes than in the unprosperous it
is more among women who make no complaint,
than among the complainants, that we see the
wrongs in the position of woman. The life, the
ordinary life Of single women in the community
their life from eighteen years to their wedding
day-what is it, in tens of thousands of cases,
but one long petty tragedy A life reputed
blameless indeed, but also aimless life without
a noble hope, without large enjoyment, without
an earnest purpose II in impossible that the soul
should be satisfied with what society gives young
girls as the solid material of their lives, dancing
parties, crotchet-needle, the last new novel; and
the occasional amateur manufacture of rather in
digestible spongecake. The soul demands an
object, or it dies. This emptiness of life to un-
married women, has led again and again to insan-
ity and premature decline, for which the doctors
could find no sufficient reason
