an incident in the history Of DOM
este animals, which occurred in our
place lately, and which will bear re-
pea,ing. Last spring cow owned
by one of our citizens lost her calf,
ard by a singular freak of instinct
took up with a little pig to replace
her loss. She manifested the same
affection for the pig that she had
done for her Calf, and would stand
by it and caress it, In her way,
for hours. This fall, however, the
pork barrel needed filling, and it was
decided that the ties which bound
the cow and pig together, should be
severed, by the death Of the latter.
The COW manifested great grief
and anger at her second bereav.
ment, and when the butchers were
at work she made several furious
charges at the despoilers Of her do
mestic peace, and the destroyers
Of her little family. Since the
death Of her pig she has mourned
for it continually. This is the
most singular case Of affection We
have heard of lately, end it will bear
off the palm, we think, until The
':Iion and lamb shall lie down to-
gether.'

In Memory Of GIarontine 6. SaNys
BY MRS. MARY sCHELL.
We think we hear the wall of grief,
For one who dropped like autumn's leaf,
Come on the southern breeze.
1t wakes within the soul thrill;
And memories past-return to fill
Kind thoughts for her who grieves.
We've not forgot thee! though long years
Mingled with gladness, and with tears,
Have silently rolled on
Twas friendship pure our hearts entwined
The quick response, mind answered mind
And souls were knit in one.
Well weep with thee-for oh. we know
The bitter tears--thy cup o'erfow
And loneliness of heart
IT'S not for friendships mock word sount
To sooth apang, or heal the wound
Inflicted by Deaths dart.
Alast she too has left thy side,
The cherished flower dropped and died
In early womanhood.
Shes gone to meet in realms of light
A little band of angels bright,
"A beauteous ssterhood."
Give back to God, the gentle one
Whose warm affe ctops closely chung
Around thy riven heart
Soon we shall tread the path she trod,
The heavenly road that leads to God:
Where Friends viii never part.

language in their report, published in yester.

1--WE would recommend that n supplement
tary act to the Dueing Law be promptI,
passed by the next Legislature, defining y
punishment for sending or receiving a chol-
lenge to mortal combat. as we have had u
case Of that nature under consideration
which we were obliged to dismiss for the
want of law to punish the offenders"
Many were led to the belief that the re
marks applied directly to the investigation of
Judge Terrys case. Such is not the fact, as
the matter Of the late disast' Gus duel was
not brought before that body doubt ex-
lists in legal minds as to the powers of Grand
Inqucsts in taking cognizanee of feohies, for
which parties are arrested subsequent to their
empannelment and in order that no loop hole
should be left whereby the action of Justice
would be retarded, Terrys case goes over
until the next Grand Jury. 1t is held that "A
prisoner has right to be present at the en-
parchment of Grand jerry, and either per
sonally, or through counsel challenge any
member thereof if he has any objection to
his officiating The case will come up before
the next Grand Jury, and it will rest with
that body To present true bill or ignore
one. Should that body pass the case without
acting thereon, Terry will be discharged
from custody, under the warrant by which
he is now held; but that would not relieve
him from answering to an Indictment found
either in San Mateo or this county. at any
future time, within the legal period. d.-AltG,

In the "Recolections" by Samuel Rogers.

very interesting statements concerning Bona.
parte, in the chapters headed Duke Of Well

from, and the reader will bear in mind that
the words quoted are those of the Duke him
self. In speaking to Mr. Rogers of his great
antagonists at Waterloo, Wellington remark.
ed, "Bonaparte | never saw; though during
the battle of Waterloo we were once | un-
derstood, within quarter of mile of each
other. l regret it much; for he was most
extraordinary man. To me he seems to have
been at his acme at the Peace of Tilsit and
gradually to have declined afterwards" The
Duke thus continues his comments on Ma
poleon
cat Waterloo he had the finest army ever
commanded and everything up to the onset
must have turned out as he wished Indeed,
he could not have expected to beat the Prus-
slams, rs he did at Ligny. in four hours But
two such armies as those at Waterloo have
seldom met, if may judge from what they
did on that day. 1t was battle of giants a

man@euvred i'll better perhaps than many
who have fought and bled. AS to the way
in which some of our ensgns and leutenants
braved danger-the boys Just come from
school-it exceeds all belief They ran as at
cricket"
In again speaking Of Napoleon, the Duke
says;
"Bonaparte in my opinion, committed one
of his greatest errors when he meddled with
Spain; for the animosity of the people was
uaconquerable, and it was almost impossible
to get us out of that corner. | have often
said it would be his ruin: though might not
live to see it. A conqueror, like cannon
ball, must go on. If he rebounds. his career
is over. Bonaparte was certainly as clever
man as ever lived, but he appears to me to
have wanted sense on many occasions At

garded at least as an accession of 10000

Shortly after, Blondin re.oppeared on the
rope on the Canada side surrounded with
number of Roman candles in full Llaze, which
presented a rather novel and pleasing ap-
earance. When about midway he again
went through variety Of evolutions-sueh
rs standing on his head-suspending himself
below the rope, etc, and when his lights and
fireworks were all exhausted, he resumed his
rope and quietly finished his Journey. At
this time it was difficult for the spectators ON
shore to distinguish Blondin on the rope. and
1t was only when II tremendous shout arose
from the shore that his arrival on the Ameri.
can side was known Ivy those at any great
distance from the bank This terminated
