TUNNELING TELEGRAPH HnL.-The latest
sensation project. says the S. F. Alta, is that
of continuing Montgomery street northward
from the cliff at Pacific street through tc
North Beach-the originators to form a com
pany-to obtain the right to carry the enter
prise into effect, and charge toll The tun-
mel is proposed to be twenty or thirty feet in
height and little wider than Montgomery
street now is. The tunnel to be lighted from
above, and perhaps gas lighted bazars cut
into the rock on each side. Odd as the idea
may seem, it is actually occupying the minds
of several enterprising gentlemen, and will
probably turn up in the shape of petition
to the Board of Supervisors before long.

also that the latter (the groom left on his re-
turn without the bride On Monday, the

been prevented by the threats Of a third par,

mined to seek her husband, abide with him
and abandon her former associates She de-
termined to proceed to San Francisco, pro-
cure what clothing she required, and thence
seed her husband at Napa 1t happened
that her husband came aboard the boat at
Bencia and being informed of the presence
of his wife and her willingness to recognize
her obligations and share his fortunes, sought
her with alacrity, accompanied her TO San
Francisco, and thence to his home. 1t is tC
be hoped that the couple will live in harmo-

The wife alludeded to in the above was q

PRIsoNERs IN SAoRA,lENro.-Th STANDARD
says:
In consequence of the sinking of the prison
brig, 1t was necessary to remove the prisoners
and they were brought to the cells of the
water works building, damp, dark, lily ven
tilaled places two small rooms in which
thirty-three prisoners are crowded like sheep
in the stall, with scarcely room to turn
around, and breathing the same air over and
over again, until it is fetid and poisonous. All
the prisoners who are charged with capital
crimes ate heavily ironed, and occupy the
same cells with the others. The clanking
and rattleing of the chains; the curses and
blasphemous oaths which are continually ut
tered the gasping for breath by those who
are feeble and sick; and the fendish, reck-
less laughs and iests of the hardened villains
beside make up scene which the graphic
pen of Dickens could scarcely describe, or
the pen of Cruikshank portray; but which,
in all its elements, is revolving and disgusting
in the extreme.

SEVERE PENALrY-The Police OF
Janesville, Wis, have issued the follow
ing order:
"7ake Notice All persons residing in
the city Of Janesville, owning, or having
in his or her possession, any dog or bitch,
and suffering the same to run at large
without being securely muzzled, so as to
prevent their biting, viii! be killed if found
at large after April 26, 1859. BY order
Of the Mayor"
Capital punishment for the crime of
murder has been abolished in Wisconsin !;
but it seems to be crime greater than
murder to keep an unmuzzled dog, since
the Mayor notifies all such persons that
they will be killed if found at large!
