Mr.. CoLuNs. TIE MEDIUM At SACRAMENTO.

Mr.. COLLINS, THE MEDIUM, AT SACRAMENTO.
The Sacramento STANDARD of Wednesday
says;
Last evening we went into the Forest The
ater to witness the material binding and be-
lieve in the spiritual unbinding of the famous
medium, Collins. The committee examined
the box in which he was to be incareerated
emptied his pockets etc, etc. Then thew
commenced tying him-a pair of darbies
being first placed upon his wrists. and
mighty tight tie they made of it, He was
was then placed in the box and bolted in.
For two mortal hours did he remain boxed
up and wrestling with the spirits. At the
end OF that time, however, loud knock was
heard, and the committee opened the doors
OF the box. Upon examining him he was
found to be only partially untied-the spirits
wanted more time. He was shut IN again
and in about half an hour another rapping
was head. The committee again onered
the box, but he was still tied. 1t seems he
had undone all bnt the ropes that bound his
arms together behind his back. A physician
declared this time that his pulse was at sixty
hye-on the first opening of the box his pulse
beat ninety per minute. The audience be-
gan to get excited and so did the Medium
whether
the audience were satisfied or not. In a few
moments, however, he announced that he
would have another private conversation
with the spirit of Jack Williams, the depart
ed Michigan Lake, fresh water sailor. and the
doors were once more closed. Then the au-
dlence began to move away, as if satisfied
the whole thing was sell About half
minute afterward, the medium Knocked fu-
rously and said that jacks spirit had made
up his mind that he would not unite the last
cord, because the audience had not been
perfectly still. The committee then cut the
cord and "that let him out"
The Bee, in a notice of one of Mr.. Collins
exhibitions, says that lampblack was put on
the rope without his knowledge, and that
awful to narrate when he came out of the
box his face and hands were as black as the
ID!

Is OUR BUCKEYE Poisonous ?-The San An
dreas Independent of recent date, states that
Dr. Jones of Murphy's, lost nine head Of cat
tie, mostly mileh COWS, and thinks they
might have been poisoned by eating buck
eyes. The California Farmer says:
at appears that in some of the Southern
States the Buckeye is known to be poisonous
to cattle, which are frequently lost by eating
it. As cattle in various portions of the State
often die suddenly, and the death is attribu-
ted to some mysterious disease, may the loss
not have been caused by their eating the
Buckeye, which is pretty generally scattered
over the country? We do not remember to
have heard of any casualty being attributed
to the Buckeye, here but, in case that it
should be cause of injury, we give the rem
edies that have been found beneficial. One
writer, who had lost several cows, says, the
only remedy he ever tried, to do any good,
was salt and sulphur; keep the diseased cows
in dry lot, and do not let them have any
water during the time of giving and for a
day or two after giving the salt and sulphur,
or they will be as badly affected as at first.
He tried this for several years, and did not
lose COW with the above treatment

A LETTER from Jeddo, the capital of Japan,
dated llth July, gives an amusing account of
the arrival of Mr.. Alleock, the English Minis
ter in company with his wife, who was the
first European lady that ever visited Japan.
The letter says:
"When the distinguished party landed
they were met by several officers, who es-
corted them to their respective residences
and followed by crowd of at least three
thousand Japanese. The lady of Mr., ALL
cock attracted their attention more than all
the rest of the party, she being the first Eu-
ropean lady that ever stepped foot on Jeddo
soil, and to them with her crinoline spread
out and gaily trimmed bonnet, she was eyed
by all the crowd, who would run ahead of
her so as to look her in the face; some of
them took hold of parts Of her dress, and this
ungentlemanly conduct she very properly
resented by giving them pretty heavy blow
over their heads with her pa:asol. Mrs
Alcock had been long time in Canton be-
fore she proceeded to Japan, and she was
prepared to meet the Japan heathen.

LATER FROM CHINA AND JAPAN.-Tbe shin
Torrent arrived at San Francisco on Monday
night with Hongkong papers to November
9Th:
The U. S. steamer Powhattan, bearing the
nag OF Commodore Tatnall arrived at Shonp
hae on 18th October, from Kanarawa. Japan.
which place she left on the 10Th. On the
10th his Excellency Townsend Harris receiy-
ed an official communication from the Japan
ese Government announcing that the Embas.
sy to the United States would positively be
ready to leave on the 22d of February next.
The Powhattan was to be there at that time
to receive them on board. His Excellencv
MIR. Ward, u. S. Minister to China, returned
in the Powhattan. Consul General AIcoek
was still at Hakodadi, expected shortly to
return.
The North China Herald, speaking of Mr..
Wards visit to Jeddo, says:

China, taking passage in the Powhattan. visi.
ted NagaSaki and Jeddo. While the guest of
MIR. Harris at Jeddo the Prime Minister be-
ing informed of his being in the city and at
the house of Mr.. Harris, Immediately inform
ed him in the most civil and cordial terms,
that he should be happy to have an interview
at his residence within the Imperial enclos-
ure, or castle, as "the Prohibited Hall" is
usually called, which is about as sacred at
Jeddo as at Pekin, and appointed at the same
time the day and the hour. Mr.. Ward of
course was happy to accept the invitation,
and the interview was had accordingly. The
Prime Minister, upon Mr. Wards arrival, in
quired if it would be agreeable to him to see
the other ministers also and at the same time;
and upon his expressing his great gratifca-
tlon in doing it, they were introduced and
remained to the close of the interview, which
LASTED nearly two hours On both sides the
interview was entirely pleasant and satisiac-
tory.
FIRE AT HoNGKoNG.-On the 9th October
destructive fire took place at Hongkong.
when buildings and property to the estima
Eed value of S250,000 were destroyed. Ad-
miral Hope was in attendance at the fire, di
recting the operations of the soldiers and en-
gineers and seamen from the shipping, to ex-
tinguish the conhagration.
The Hongkong Register has the following:
The year 1859 will be long remembered
for disasters both afoat and ashore 1t is
strange that the three last mail steamers have
each carried home the news of steamers hav

the Canton; and the Norma will carry from

was lately purchased by Sasoon, Sons & Co.

THE mayoralty election in Baltimore resulted in the
election of ,he Democratic candidate by majority of
1871 The Bell men only carried five precincts out of
eighty, and lost every ward Maryland is as certain
for Breckinrdge the day of the election arrives
ETPress.
The Express weuld convey the idea in the
above that the Mayor elect of Baltimore ran
as Democratic candidate. The fact is, he
ran as Reform candidate, and was voted for
by all parties who were in favor of putting
down the mobocratic party which has ruled
Baltimore to so great an extent His election
is no test of party strength at all, and we
have seen no claim made that it was. apv-
where else but in the Express. The Balti,
more Patriot says;
"ltis well that the Mayor comes in with
an entire Council in both branches, chosen bv
the same influences that elected him. The
responsibility of the city government is now
upon them. They have been elected indeed.

be Breekinridge man or Douglas or
Bell and Everett. Certain it is, he was for
merly an old line Whig. Many of the lead
ing Douglas men of Maryland are his warm
personal friends. But, whatever his politics
may be, he was not elected as party man,
and it is idle to undertake to claim him as
such.
So much for Maryland's going for Breck-
lnridge on the strength Of the Baltimore cleo
ton.

MrssIssIPPL-The Express, we see, claims
the late local elections in Mississippi upon
the whole as Breckenridge triumph. Well,
so do the Breckenridge papers in Mississippi
But, on the other hand, the Bell and Eve.
rett papers there claim them as a Bell and
Everett triumph. For our part, We think
the Bell and Everett papers are right The
st. Louis correspondent of the Alta write,
about it thus;
The election was for local officers only, and
the result is mixed triumph for the Brecl-
inridge Democracy and the Union party. In
some counties no party ticket at all was run,
and it is noticed that these counties are lust
now claimed by the Democrats and Unionists
with equal tenacity. AS both parties claim
victory in the State, ii is difficult to decide
whfch Is right, owing to the limited informa-
uon before us. The Nieksburg Whig (Union)
of the 10th says:
I'VE have the most cheering news from
the result of the late county elections In
every instance where party lines are drawn
the Union men triumphed. The Democracy
have been united in these county elections
and the result looks very much as If the Bell
and Everett men have a majority over both
combined. In Atlanta, Tishomingo, Yazoo,
Marshall, and other counties the secession
lists have been signally put to rout"
With such information as this before us,
how can any man undertake to say that the
elections are Breckenridge triumph? We
have not yet seen the Douglas papers from
that qsarter, but doubtless they would show
q Douglas triumph in some of the counties.
Certain it is, that the Bell and Everett pa
pers emphatically declare that it was no
Breekinridge triumph.
