THE PARISH MuRDER-The Bulletin pub
fishes another interesting letter from Salt
Lake, dated March Slst, giving the particu-
lars of the Parish murder by the Mormons.
1t appears that in the Spring of 1857. the
Mormons became unusually severe upon all
Gentiles and "apostates, and the Parish
family having apostasized and determined
to go to California, their movements were
closely watched, and councils were held to
determine what should be done with them.
They were first robbed of their property to
prevent them from leaving, and a man named
Durfee appointed to keep watch over them
This man and another one named Potter per
suaded Parrish that they wished to go to
California and would 20 with him; he ac-
cordingly resolved to leave his family and
start on foot When he asked them if they
/ we're true to their trust. or in other words
whether he could depend upon them, Duriee
replied, "Yes, brother William | am as true
a hare but, when it comes to the test, |
don't know how | shall do" Durfee laid
his plans with care, acting as he was, under
the secret commands of his masters. 1t was
arranged that the party should start on Sun
day, the l4th day of March 1857, and leave
town during the day, one at a time, to avoid
suspicion. They were to meet again after
dark. half a mile from town. Durfee having
arranged things thus far took the two suns
of Parrish out of town towards the place
where he told them their father was waiting
to see them before leaving and succeeded
in having the elder son shot dead-the young
er accidentally escaping As for Parrish, the
father, his remains were found at the place of
meeting covered with knife wounds, and lit
orally cut to pieces. Potter was found dead,
having been killed to make good the saying
that dead men tell no tales" The Bullet
in's letter closes as follows
The testimony has disclosed the names of
all who were present at the councils and who
participated in the crime They have. how
ever, all fled the country. Six men, impli-
Gated in this dreadful murder, are now under
arrest, among whom ARE Duriee and Melon
aid. The testimony does not yet furnish di
rect evidence ns to who killed the old man
Parrish, although he was killed at the same
time and place the other two If Durfee
is allowed to become States evidence. he can
probably give the complete details of the
whole OF this pTeconcerted Gutchery.

SnITrIM WooD-We saw, yesterday, a
petritication which came from a mining 10.
cality three miles north of "Humbug," in
Nevada county. 1t was brought down by
Mr.. Campbell formerly member of our
Board of Supervisory who has been engaged
in mining op, ratons in that region. 1t was
! found a very considerable distance under the
snrface of the earth and was broken from
piece ofpetritied substance ten or fifteen feet
in length. l. was embedded in slush of n vel
lowish color and thoroughly coated with the
same. The petriicatiou is the most complete
that we have ever seen, and the specimen in
question a most beautiful production of geo
logical formation 1t is evidentlya piece of
the species of wood celebrated in scripture
as the Sittim wood, out of which the Ark of
the Covenant and other sacred articles of
Jewish worship were constructed, the re-
semhlance being 50 close as to admit of very
little doubt. The probability is all the better
from the fact that the Shittim
Wood is at this time actually growing in the
mountains adjacent.
This wood, which is species of the acacia,
is hard and smooth and Of grain so fine
that the naked eye can scarcely discover
fibre in its texture. No doubt it will be ex
tensively used, some day, in thss country, in
the manufacture of elegant furniture and
every species of superior cabinet workmna

4 A NEGRO Discussion ABOUT EGGs.-Gen-
eva, the lovely village on Seneca Lake, fur
nisheS the following specimen of parliament
AIRY ruling.:--" In the fairest village of Wes-
tern New York, the sculled pussens, in
emulation of their white brethren, formed
debating society, for the improving their
minds by the discussion of instructive and
|. entertaining topics. The deliberations of
the society were presided over by a vener-
able darkey, who performed his duties with
the utmost dignity peculiar to his colour.
The subject for discussion ON the occasion of
which We write was Which am de mudder
of the chicken-de hen wot lay de egg, or
de hen wet matches de chick p The ques-
tion was warmly debated, and many reasons
pro and CON were urged and combated by
the excited disputants. Those in favour of
the latter proposition were evidently in the
majority, and the president made no attempt
to conceal that his sympathies were with
the dominant party. At length an intell-
gent darkey rose from the minority side and
begged leave to state proposition to this
effect: 'Spose, said he dat you set one
dozen ducks eggs under hen, and dey
hatch, which am de u ider--de duck or de
hen? This was a poser, WAS well put, and
nonplussed the other side, even staggering
the president, who plainly saw the force of
the argument but had committed himself
too far to yield without struggle: so after
cogitating and scratching his wool few
moments, hrigh: idea struck him. Rising
from his shair in all the pride of conscious
superiority, he announced:--Du not
before the house chickens am de question,
derfsre rule the ducks out = and do it he
did to the complete overthrow of his oppo-
nents.

billiards.
The Lafayette Courier saws

Inc Lafayette CotTaeT says:
The Grand Jury of this county, at the
last term of the Circuit Court returned in
dictments against the various keepers of
billiard tables in our city, under the statute
making it felony, and punishable by i'm
prisonment in the State Prison or county
Jail, to keep any gaming apparatus for the
purpose of winning or gaining any articles
of value which indictment came up fsr
discussion this morning upon motion to
squash.
The Court, his honor Judge Test presid-
ing, held that the statute referred to had
been repealed by implication-by a statute
passed ten days later, which provides that
* every person who shall be the keeper or
exhibitor of any gaming table, roulette, shut
fle-boards, faro bank, nine pin or ten pin
alley, or billiard table, for the purpose of
wagering any article of value thereon, shall
be fined not exceeding $1,000, to which
may be added imprisonment not exceeding
six months" which reduces the felony mn
der the former to thegrade of a misdemeanor,
of which the Circnit9 Court has no jurisdic-
ton. |
The motion to squash was sustained, and
the defendants discharged.

IRON CARS ON RAILRoADs.-Several of the
principal railroads in the East are about
trying an experiment, which may lead to
very general change in the construction of
railroad cars. The cost of hauling the cars
themselves is very large proportion of the
expense of railroad operation, and any mode
of diminishing the weight without impair
ing the strength, would be of great advan.
tage. One La MoTTE, a Frenchmala, patent
ed some years since a system of combining
thin strips of iron to make very stiff and
strong and very light car body, and a full
size of sixty passenger is now nearly COM
pleted for trial, and will probably be put in
use in very few weeks. IL is elegantly
finished with papier mache, etc.; but the
point of most interest lies in the fact pretty
well established by the application of proper
tests, that while the weight of the body (the
only novel portion) is but 6. 900 pounds, shs
strength AMI rigidity of the structure is con-
siderably greater than that of any of the
wooden cars in common use. The weight
of the corresponding portion of ordinary
cars ranges from 1000 to 10000 pounds.

The Season in tha. Country ANA


There can be, no doubt that vegetation IS
a month earlier than usual, in this locality.
and, from the information before US, this is
the case throughout the entire South and
West. The wheat fields look splendid, and
the meadow and pasture lands are covered
with the fresh verdnre of spring, and give
promise of an abundant season. The guam
tity of rain that has fallen during the past
winter, is another unusual and remarkable
feature. There is no better evidence of this
than the uniform high stage of water which
has prevailed in all of our Western rivers,
during the past four or five months. This
extraordinary mild weather has not, it
seems, been confined to this continent, for
we find that, in Europe, the winter has also
been very warm, and vegetation going ON
throughout Germany, Holland, Belgium,
France, and Austria, with but little exeep-
ton, throughout the winter months. In
the British Isles, it is said, the whole face of
the country presented more the appearance
Of spring THAN winter. The nightingale
was heard in England as early as the 18th
of February. A late number of the Man
chester Guardian says: s
= Over the greater part of the pasturage of
the kingdom, the grass has not ceased to be
green throughout the winter; and the roses
and honeysuckles put out shoots almost as
soon as their latest leaves dropped. All the
spring flowers of our gardens welcomed,
open-eyed, the coming in of March. The
elm, Lombardy poplar, and thorns, have
burst their buds the very beginning of the
month, while the willow eatkins have over
hung the streams as in April. Apricots
and peaches were in bloom over a week
ago; and in the fruit growing counties,
| where the cherries and pears are blooming
already, the growers are in state of. high
! tension. A touch of frost between right
and morning would cost hundreds of pounds
to hundreds of proprietors of orchards. Tie
!" oldest inhabitant of many agricultural
districts hardly remembers so mild season.
He must go back more than twenty years
/ for any winter that can bear comparison
with it. sa 60
