A STRANGE SToRY.-Y esterday, a gentle.
man, named Jones, called upon Coroner Nc
Nulty, and informed him that while hunting
on the Sand Hills to the right of the Ocean
House, he came upon the body of u man,
which, from appearances, must have been
lying there for q considerable length of time.
DR.. McNulty Immediately dispatched the
dead wagon TO the place the body was found
and brought to this city last night. As soon
as the facts became to some extent generally
known, an other man, named Shed, waited
on DR.. McNulty and informed him that about
three weeks ago he was hunting in the same
neighborhood, and met a man wandering
about in the sand hills, ut n little distance
from the beach. The strange man accosted
him, and said "he would give him ten dollars
to get him bottle of champagne, as he had
not eaten anything for several days Shed
replied that he could not get him champagne
in that neighborhood, but that he would
bring him some water, and accordingly start
ed off to the house Of man named Burke,
who resided about half mile from the spot,
aud made known the object of his visit. He
got the water and in company with Burke.
returned to the relief of the stranger When
they came to the place where he was, Burke,
invited him to 60 back with him to his house,
promising, if he did so, to supply him with
whatever he might stand in need. The stran.
ger then asked him who were living in the
house, and having been informed on that
point, refused to go, and would not listen to
reason. Next day Burke went to look for
him, but could find no trace of him. Since
that time nothing was seen of him until the
discovery of the body. yesterday. 1t is, upon
the whole, very strange story. There are
no marks of violence on the body. The i'm.
preston is that the man starved himself to
death, but what induced him to adopt so
strange a method of putting period to his
existence is at present beyond even coniec-
ture. lie may have committed suicide bv
taking poison, to be sure but no outward
evidence of it could be discovered. In his
pocket was found buckskin purse, contain.
ing $40 and IS piece, and he could not
therefore have died from want. A pair Of
greeh goggles were found with the purse.
1t is shrivelled up from exposure The flesh
and muscles Of the face are all gone-picked
away, in all probability, hy birds, and no.
thing remaining but the bones. The body is
dressed as follows: drab frock coat single
breasted, with buttons covered with the same
cloth but edged around with brass, a drab
vest, black pantaloons, long boots the soles
of which are covered with nails, and slouch-
ed hat.-Atta, Tuesday,

EITHER Crazy OR LAzY-Daniel McDevit
was examined upon a charge of vagrancy in
the San Francisco police court on Wednes-
day morning. 1t appears, says the Telegram,
that Nc. has been doing nothing for some
time but street-gazing, and that he has been
detected in ogling the girls. When he was
asked by his Honor what was the reason he
did not work, Nc launched forth into a very
voluble statement in regard to his large pos
sessions, stating that he was the lawful own
er of all the land between the city and Fort
Point; that his rents were enormous, and
that therefore he had no occasion to work.
As for the charge Of his attentions to the la
dies he repudiated that in toto. He did not
covet any of them, maid, wife or widow, and
he would not marry any woman in California.
He was sent to the Court of Sessions to be
examined as to his sanity.

GAMBLfNG.-The trial of John Crawford,
arrested in November last, for gambling,
came up in the Court of Sessions yesterday.
Messrs. Byrne and Freelon appeared for de-
fendant. After three hours jury was en-
pannelled, and the testimony of Abraham
Carter taken. He testified that he had been
professional gambler in this State and had
lost much money also, for the past six years
he had been resident of this city, and when
out of employment Ito wit, painting) he
"bucked against the Tiger" and, in most
cases. lost his money, In last November, he
resolved to make a grand raise, and no other
way suggested itself to his mind except to 90
around to different gambling houses and play
against bank" and then inform on the deal.
ers or make them "come out" He desired to
realize the sum of $l2O0-and he became
possessed of sufficient information to convict
several persons and then complained to the
proper authorities in accordance to law. In

he agreed to leave the State, and thereby de-

$500 and his passage money, which was

ANOTHER PROTEST REFUsED-The Assem-
bly, majority again stultiied itself, on Tues
day, by refusing to allow entered upon the
minutes in accordance with the 72d rule
the protest of dissenting member, Mr.. Lull
of San Francisco. The following is the pro
test:
WHEREAS, On the oath day of January, A.
D. 1859, II. c. Sloss, p p Caine, A. X. Jack
son, G. A. Douglass. Albert A. Hill T. b.
Shannon, j. A. Banks, J. S. Slingerland, j.
B. Moore, Louis r. Lull. VIM. w. Shepard
N. Fuller, H. A. Imas, G. E. De Long and F.
f. Cannon, members Of the Assembly of the
State of California, did in writing most sol
emnly protest against the illegal, unjust and
tyrannical action of the majority of this As
sembly, in ejecting Charles Duncombe from
his seat in this House; and, whereas, said
protest was rightfully and in accordance with
parliamentary usage presented to this AS
sembly, and by majority thereof denied a
place upon the journals, wherebya sacred
right of the minority was subyerted and out
ragged; therefore, in view the above facts,
it becomes my personal duty and prerogative
as a member of this body, to enter this, my
most earnest protest. against the unjustiAable
and unprecedented action of this House. in
refusing to enter the said protest of the said
minority upon the journals of the Assembly
of the Commonwealth of California

and moved off with it towards | street. The

SENATOR DoUGLAs.-It seems that efforts
are being made to involve Senator Douglas
in q duel. Slidell has thrown out an ntima.
tion that he will call the Illinoisan to an ac-
count, in q certain contingency, and Jones, of
Iowa, has also intimated the same thing.
Respecting these matters, Col. Forney writes
to the Press, undOr date of Dec. 24th, as fol-
lows:
"The last exhibition is n foregone conclu.
sion to put Senator Douglas, on mis- arrival
here, into such position As may compel him
to send or accept a challenge to fight duel
| need not particularize, but the letters of
certain individuals, lately published clearly
point to this end. Let us ask. in all candor,
whether there has not been enough of this
savage malignity? Do these politicians sup.
pose that the people of the United States can
ever approve the course which has been pur.
