THE PIT RIVER ISDIANs.-There is at the pres
ent time says the Alta war of determination
raging between the whites and the Indians in
the northeastern corner of the Sacramento val
ley Most of these Indians belong to the Pit
river tribe, of whom Lieut.. Williamson, in his
report on the survey of railroad route from the
valley of the Sacramento to that of the Wilt
mette speaks thus;
The Pit river Indians are very treacherous
and bloody in their dispositions, and disgusting
in their habits. They are armed with bows and
arrows, which they make with great skill. The
bows are sticks of soft wood about three feet lin
length, backed with deer sinew. The arrows
are made of three parts. The head is generally
of obidan which abounds in portions of the
valley. 1t is carefully shaped out into the usual
barbed form, and lashed by deer sinews to one
end of small stick of hard wood, about ten
inches long. The other end of the stick is in
verted into the extremity OF reed, and also
lashed with sinew The reed is attached by the
same kind of fastening This weapon infiicts a
dangerous injury as the blood Immediately
softens the sinew. and on attempting to extract
the arrow. the reed separates from the hard
stick. which thus remains at the bottom of the
wound. It's said these savages sometimes
poison their arrows by exposing piece of liver
to the repeated bites of a rattlesnake and after
burying it for a short time, smearing the point
with the half decomposed mass.

p6r Boys, if you don't want to fall in love,
keep away from muslin. You can no more play
with those girls without losing your hearts than
you can play with gamblers without losing your
money. The heart-strings of woman, like the
.endrils of a vine, are always reaching out for
something to cling to. The consequence is, that
before you are going you are "gone," like a lot

Ladies Dresses.-The New York Dispatch
rather likes the idea the English ladies are
adopting, of dressing with an almost Quak-
er-like plainness for church, and the editor
inpertinently asks
"Would it not be wise ii some of our bellies
who sit under the gold and purple case
ments of Grace Church in S75 dresses, $40
honnets, and 500 lace mantels would 90
and do likewise? Perhaps they cannot i'm
agine how it would seem to have their aris-
tocratic forms drapped of simple calico-like
a Fifth Avenue damsel, who just previous
to the panic, was lisping her conjectures as
to whether people who dress tn us were sim
liar to the rest of their race. 'Calice!' dear
me, wonder how it feslsl Now, should
really like 20 wear a calico dress just for
once, you know, to see how it would seemP
The next month papa failed, and our fair
lisper went into calico for the rest Of her

In,portsF Dry Goods.-The imports of
foreign dr. goods at the port of New York
for the ninth just ended have been sm aller
than for any previous month this year,
amounting in the aggregate, to S5,990,973.
The tohl imports OF dry goods for the last
nine mnths is 500 ,468 $50, against SAT, 7O7,-
s225 70 the same time last year. The stock
Of gods in bond has again decreased, while
in September, 1857, nearly one-third of all
theiry goods landed were thrown into the
wsehouse. The Journal OF Commerce
sass: a.c
The remainder OF the year must show a
arge increase on the first quarter of 1857,
or the aggregate receipts for the remain
ing three months of that year were less than
sc zen and three quarter million. We think,
also that the imports for the next three
months will show a further gain upon last
year; but of this there is less certainty.
The importers have been discouraged by
heavy losses, and some have countermanded
their ordsrs.

A Snake for BedfeNo,s. About two
weeks ago Mr.. John Elder, of this town, had
an under-sack for a bed filled with straw at
"Kenmore," by negro man. 1t was brought
home and placed under feather-bsd which
was slept on by daughter of Mr.. Els. The
young lady complained on a number Of occa-
sions of having her slumbers disturbed by
distinct stumps from underneath, but exami-
nations, revealed nothing. On Thursday
morning, whilst Miss E. was sitting down
sta irs, facing the steps which led up to her
room, she was startled by a curious noise,
defending, blowing and kissing in style pc
culiar to the reptile. An examination of
the premises was made at snce, when a small
hole was discovered in the understanding,
and on ripping the bed open, the full length
OF snake was found at the hole, which his
snakeship had shed before he resolved on his
strike for freedom. -Fredericksburg Va, J

Shocking Case Of Burial Before DEATH
The New Orleans Crescent tells shocking
story about sexton in that city named Mer-
rift. The Crescent says:
He sent his men, few days ago, to bury
a poor man in grave at the back end of a
certain cemetary. After short time, the
men came back to him, excited, saying that
they could not bury that man; that he was
sitting up in his coffin, and swearing he
wasn't dead. Merritt, in high indignation,
seized spade and went back to the grave
himself, where, sure enough, he found his
customer sitting up and looking quietly a.
round him. But, determined on his wages
at all hazards, the sick man was buried any
how. He struggled and resisted as well as
he could, bat few bats from the spade soon
settled him.

A Good Retort.-A lady of our acquain-
lance, says the Richmond News, was passing
up one of our principal thoroug hfares, few
days since, when she was met by a young
man full of bad whisky, who was laboring
very strenuously to preserve his 90 aanimity,
and prevent the discovery of his condition.
In endeavoring to avoid collision with the
lady in question, he lost his balance and
turned towards her and remarked, by way Of
apology, "Hoops take up toe much room"
The lady looked at him and very quietly
retorted, "Not so much as whiskey sir" and
PASSED on.

"The water in London is detestable; when
you drink it you are reminded of weak So

it, of the sand in which che Arabs, when in
the desert, are allowed to perform their alb
lutions. Why the English are nation of
beer drinkers is perfectly Ineligible to any
one who comes to England. How my soul has
painted here for the ice waters of home, and
now my ear has languished for the musical
rattle OF the melting crystal against the
sides of the pitcher-a sound sweeter in
hot day than harp or dulcimer."
