SINGULAR.-A late English paper says A
few days ago, as two colliers were working
coal in pit in the neghborhood of Bathgate,
Linlithgowshire, Engl., they were astonished,
on breaking a large piece OF coal to see a living
frog skip nimbly from it. The niche in which
it had lived was perfectly smooth, and of the
exact shape of the frog. The hind legs of the
animal are at least twice as long as those of an
ordinary frog the fore legs almost gone. 1t is
of beautiful bronze color. 1t leaped briskly
about the moment it was liberated from its dark
abode. How many generations it may have
been shut up from light and air. it is impossible
to say; certain it is, that although diminutive
in form, and with great brilliancy of eye, it is
spires us with kind of fear to be brought in
to contact with living being that has, in all
probability, breSthed the same air as Noah, or
disported in the same hmpid stream in which
Adam bathed his sturdy limbs.

Loss of a British War STEAMER.

The British war steamer Nassa l, from JamaI-
ca, on a cruise, struck on a hidden rock on the
night Of March 4, and soon sunk. Officers and
men, sixty in number, took to their boats, and
ten of them were subsequently swept over

ishing when their boat was driven on the Gu

DID SENATOR BRoDEMcK LEAVE Will
The general impression that Senator Broderck
left no will, 1t is thought by many will prove
erroneous. II appears that previous to bis
death, Mr.. Broderick deposited tin box in the
banking house Of John Sine IL Co. This box
was opened last Saturday, in presence of the
Probate Judge, Public Administrator, and 9th
ers, but it contained no will as expected. The
following is an inventory Of the articles found
In the box: The fragments of the gold watch
which was worn by deceased at the time Of the
hostile meeting between him and Caleb Smith;
q rosary, composed Of pink agate beads, which
probably belonged to the mother or some fe-
male relative Of deceased; two heavy gold
watch chains, buekskin wallet, containing
gold specimens, and several articles of jewelry.
No papers Of any kind were found in the box.
1t is now stated that Mark Brumagim has in his
possession another box deposited with him by
Mr. Broderick. 1t is more than probable that
Mr.. Broderick left will. He was particularly
careful in regard TO business matters, and those
who knew him best deem it improbable that he
should have jeopardised his life without making
some provisions for the disposal of bis property
in case of his death.

SAN Francisco ELEcrIoN.-T The election in
San Francisco and San Mateo, held on Saturday

the Administration candidate The vote stood:
Peachy, 1904; Hathaway, Republican, 174S;
Pierson, Peoples candidate, 1866; total vote,
6,l25. Mr.. Haskell, who had been nominated
by the anti.Lecompton Committee, declined
being a candidate, aud the Committee adopted
resolution, declaring II to be injudiclous aud
inconsistent with the principles OF the anti.Le-
compton Democracy to lend aid to either of the
other parties, and recommended to all those
who still cherished the cardinal doctrines Of
Popular Sovereignty to absent themselves from
the polls. In accordance with this resolution
the anti-Lecompton Democrats took no part in
the election, and the vote was but little more
than half that cast at the last general election.

Projection WANTED-The Grass Valley Ma
hOnal says the way things are going on, 1t will be
in short time, If it is not already, the duty of
the general government to station troops along
the borders of the slave States to protect them
from abolition fibusters. Ii is certainly the
duty of the government to afford such protec.
tion il necessary and that such protection is
needed along the exposed fiontier of Virginia,
is evident from the fact that seventeen ab0l-
tionists and five negroes were able to take, and
hold for two days, the town Of Harper's Ferry,
containing some three thousand inhabitants
If the Virginians have 70 far degen Grated that
the State is in danger Of being conquered by
twenty or thirty men, they certainly require
the protecting arm Of the government. There
is no danger, however, of the border slave
States further west. The Kentuckians and Mis-
sourans are more sell-reliant; they have not
degenerated like the Virginians, and would be
abundantly able to protect themselves against
q dozen or more abolition filibustcrs that might
happen to stray among them. One or two
companies of infantry will be amply sufficient
to drive back any band of outlaws that may
take notion to surround and capture Virginia,
and the troops for that purpose can be spared
without increasing the regular army.

NEVADA, WEDNESDAY, DEC. IA, 1859.
rho wagon Road.

A gentleman resenty down from Eureka, in
forms us thar the citizens of that township are
subscribing literally to the stock for construct
ing wagon road to Washce, and parties who
have taken an interest in the matter state that
q hundred and sfty or two hundred shares will
be taken in the two townships ofBoomheld and
Eureka. The other three hundred shares, or
three hundred and fifty as the case may be,
ought certainly to be subscribed in the town
ships Of Nevada and Grass Valley. The sub
seripton book for Nevada township has been
left at the banking house Of Milford Il Co., and
parties desrous Of improving the business fa-
cilities OF the town and county can assist In do
ing so by calling and putting down their names
for one or more shares. Probably enough
shares have already been taken to insure the
opening Of the route, but IL the full amount OF
stock is taken the shareholders will not be call
cd upon for more than one-half or two-thirds
Of the amount.
Some weeks ago we stated THAT experienced
road Makers who had frequently Travelled over
and knew every foot of the route, offered to
construct good wagon road from Eureka to
Jackson's ranch for $s,OOO We now learn
that responsible parties at Moore's Flat offer to
do the work for $4,000. The construction of
this portion Of the road win insure the opening
Of the route so that heavily loaded teams can
pass over 1t; but 1t is desirable that the road
should be improved at Dog Valley, aud some
other points on the other side of the slope. But
as three different roads from this side intersect
at Jackson's ranch, the several companies can
join in making the necessary improvements on
the route beyond that point

AN IMPosITIoN.-Th Grass Valley National
relates the story of professed teams!er, who
presented himself at the Office of Justice Rich
ardson, last Saturday morning, and stated that
three men attempted to rob him the evening
previous, just as he was leaving Nevada. They
jumped from behind stump, one Of them seiz-
OF him by the collar and demanded his money
he instantly drew bis revolver, shot one Of them
down, and discharged five shots at the other
two as they fed. The National then stops the
press to say that one Of the robbers had been
found, severely wounded, and committed to jail.
We called at the Sheriff's Office yesterday, and
ascertained that no robber had been committed
to the jail, and that the fellows story is an Inn
position from beginning to end.
