A SUCCESSFUL ENTERPRIsE.-Last spring, a
reservoir was built high upon the Sierra Ne
vada mountains, by the Union Water Com
pany of Murphys, for the purpose of supply.
ing ther miners with water several months
later in the fall than usual. The San An.
dreas Independent says:
The supply for the ditch from the old
source-one Of the heads of the Stanislaus-
failed on the 7th of July, month earlier
than usual owing to the excessively hot
weather about the middle of June. On the
18th of July they opened the gate of the new
reservoir, which is located S3 miles east of
the Big Trees; and from that time to the 18th
OF October they continued might and day.
to let off 450 inches, of 2s sluice heads OF
water. We are informed that the entire cost
of constructing the reservoir did not exceed
$4,000, whilst the sales of water during the
three months and one week that it supplied
their ditch, fell but little short of $40. 600.
This leaves profit for one year of SIS, 900.

FRoM CARSON VALLEY.-A citizen of San
Andreas, who has gone to Carson Valley,
writes back to a friend, from Virginia City,
as follows;
"Wood and water is very scarce, in fact il
is the great drawback, though fine lumber
for building is as near as at San Andreas-
Much difficulty, however, now exists in get
ting building material on account of the
great demand. Could it be had, towns would
spring up as if by magic. Carson City, six.
teen miles south Of this and fifteen miles
north of G enoa, Ia most beautiful location,) is
the place and will be the capital of the Ter
ritory."

East Boston, but who have since removed to
Ware, Mass John Newell, one of the In

they stopped at the hotel, but subsequently
took up their quarters in the Indian tent

ground with her dusky companions The

the same tent for three nights, they had Slept
apart from each other. This statement was
confirmed by Johns brother and his wife

MURDER OF A MAIL PARTY special dis
patch to the Bulletin announces the arrival
at st. Louis of the Santa Fe mail, with dates
to September 18th, also, the arrival of Mr..
Otero and wife, and Messrs Porter and Cren-
shaw. These passengers confirm the report
of the murder of the mail party, on Pawnee
Fork.
The Indians took all the mules, provisions
and clothing, but did not moest the mail
bags, which were taken forward by the next
outgoing party The incoming party found
the dead bodies of four men. supposed to be
Pixies Peakers, killed by Indians two days
subsequent to the attack on the mail. The
detention of the incoming party was owing
to their waiting for an OK team behind them.
Having heard of troubles ahead, the combin.
ed strength of wo trains doubtless prevented
another attack by the Indians.
Orders had been sent from Fort Leaven-
worth for company of cavalry to march
Immediately from Fort Riley to Pawnee
Fork, TO chastise the Indians.

Rev. A. Wright, pastor of Methodist
church in Cleveland, Ohio, has been expelled
from his conference by vote of fifty four to

The Legislature gets on a-pace, but not
busy at work. Some have finished their la
bors entirely, and Others apparently are little
more than fairly going. At no previous ses-
sions have committees had so much to do, and
for tho reason that thay
time to devote to hearings. The afternoon
sittings of the Legislature explain this. BY
the way, the afternoon experiment has proved
quite successful, and will henceforth no doubt
become an established thing. As to the length
of the session, it is believed that it win be
longer than last year The middle of May is
the earliest time that is ever talked of; and |
am not snre but that the breezes of rosy June
may almost be felt before the State House is
vacated. However, a sudden start may be
made, and things broken off short. Probably
the State would contrive to exist, after fash
ion, if we had no more legislation until the
first Wednesday in january next.
There is to be change in the Office of Ad-
jutant General. Gen. Stone is very good
looking, experienced, active, and all that, but
he is marked for the guillotine. Gen. Schouler
of the Atlas Bee is to receive the appoint
ment. 1t is hardly necessary to add that he
is capital man for the office, and his appoint
ment will be "the right man in the right
place, to nicely. Besides this, it will suit
the General. He will take delight in perform
ing its duties, which are by no means excess
lively onerous.
Mr. Fitz O'Brien, who has contributed seve-
raj exquisite articles to the Atlantic Monthly,
and who has a splendid article in Harper's for
March, has become resident of Boston, where,
doubt not, his facile and happy pen will find
ample demand. He will be most welcome to
our literary circles, and in return will greatly
honor hem.
The new Hoosac Tunnel bill is likely to
pass the Legislature by handsome VOTE
Among those who have given it hearty sup
port in the Senate, is Mr.. Parker, of your city,
who, on Thursday, made an able and forcible
speech. In this connection may state that
Mr.. Parker has performed his duties to the
Senate Board with credit to himself and great
ly to the acceptance of the members generally.
He is a hard worker, and whenever he has
occasion to address the Senate, he does it with
grace and effect
Next week will be great one for Terpi-
schore. On Monday evening, the great ball
of the Boston Light Infantry will take place
at the Bosten Theater. Over twelve hundred
tickets have already been sold. The number
is limited, believe, to 1900. Each ticket ad-
niits gentleman and two ladies. 1t is proba-
BILE that company of some 5000 will be as
sembled. The theater is to be prepared at an
expense of $780,
The Mount Vernon ball, Friday evening,
will be a little on the aristocratic order. 1t
will be most elegant affair; quite the best
ever seen in Boston. The tickets are nearly
all sold. Is it too much to hope that some of
the fair daughters of Worcester, whose pres
ence is always so gracious, will be present p

LOUIS NAPoLEoS's SPEEcH.--The speech
at the opening Of the French Legislature,
which was to have Startled the world leaves
the whole field Of controversy as doubtful and
unsatisfactory as ever. The Emperor's osten-
tatious display of pacific intentions had no
other effect on the funds than to depress them,
And left the impression on all the organs of
public opinion that he was prepared to cheat
with motive, and 10 involve Europe in war,
under mental reservation. "The empire is
peace" he repeats; but it is peace contingent
on national interests" of which he is the sole
and the irresponsible judge. The preparations
still going on throughout Europe, in anticipa-
ton Of hostile outbreak, show how little con-
hdence is placed in his pretences and his di-
plomacy. The administration at Washington
- said 10 be in receipt Of intelligence from
high official sources in Europe, expressing the
opinion that general war cannot be averted.
And there is nothing in the language Of the
French Emperor, who now seems to hold the
peSee Of the Continent in his hands, indicative
OF purpose to avert the outbreak, with all its
deplorable and calamitous consequences

INCREASE OF PosTAGE.-It is difficult to
appreciate the virtue of those statesmen who
ask the country to place s3OOOO,OOO at the
disposal of the President and the Spanish Min
lister for the chimerical and wicked purpose of
'jewing" Spain out of the Island of Cuba,
and, at the same time, attempt to raise the
rates of postage for the benefit of the revenue.
The Administration, to be sure, has been made
almost bankrupt by the shocking miscalcula-
tons of the Secretary and the schemes of pub
lie robbery perpetrated with sleepless peril
nacity, by the hapgers-on and the jobbers of
the Government But neither the efforts of
its defenders to embarrass the facilities for IN
accommodation, nor their schemes of ex-
pensive and dishonest diplomacy, are works
meet for repentance. Fortunately, the plans
OF the Senate committee were, for the time,
defeated for the want of quorum. 1t is not
improbable, however that the rates of postage
will yet be increased from three to five cents,
on the part Of that body, which is as blind to
the economy of postal reform as to any other
But il will be impossible to force any measure
of the kind through the House.

MASSACHUSETTS LEGISLATURE.


SENATE.
On motion of Mr.. Metcalf of Worcester, the

the act of 1854, granting aid to construct the
Hoosic tunnel, was taken up.
Mr.. Bacon of Middlesex opposed the bill
He thought that the State was bound by the

change in the terms of that act, unless the Sc
curity of the State remained unimpaired.
The discussion was continued by Messrs.
Parker of Worcester, Williams of Middlesex,
and Odiorne of Suffolk, who defended the bill,
and Mr.. Walker Of Hampden, who opposed it.

A large number of reports of Committees
were made, several of them accompanied by
bills
Mr.. Kimball of Boston moved reconsider
alton of the vote by which the House yester-
day indefinitely postponed the bill in addition
to an act relating to the crime of murder.
The question was debated at length, and
the motion to reconsider was rejected, without
a count.

Medical Society, was ordered to a third read

MORTALITY IN New YoRK.-The unhealth.
mess of the city of New York is attracting the
attention of the Legislators at Albany. From
the reports published, it appears that New
York is one of the most unhealthy cities on
the globe, or at least of any of the great cap
itals OF Europe or America. The weekly
mortality OF Boston appears small in compar-
ison, as some of the wards of New York show
nearly as many deaths as this entire city
Week before last 445 deaths occurred in New
York, and only "A in Boston, or one-tenth as
many. New York being about four and one
half timer larger than Boston, il should have
shown (were it equally healthy only about
ZOO deaths. In our most sickly seasons, when
the deaths IN Boston have reached 100 per
week, New York has shown 1000 and upwards,
Boston had but II deaths of Americans one
week this month"; and its statistics show it to
be one Of the most healthy places in the world.
