THE SCHOOL MASTERS IN THAT
BED.

A correspondent ofthe New York
Waverly gives the following, as one
of many incidents that befell Q
boarding round schoolmaster."
1 had been teaqning in Mason
county in the Sucker State, and
this term had been boarding round.
One evening after lschool, one Of
my little scholars stepped up to me
and said.
Mr.: Jones, fatheEsaid you would
come home with me-"
very WE'LL" I replied, and fortl, !
with set out for my patrons house,
which was distant some two miles.
Now, be it known, James McMarry
for such was his name-had two
daughters, the pride and envy Of
the whole community. l had hear
so much about them that | was
naturally anxious to see them. 1t
seemed, however, that l was to be
disappointed. When we arrived, |
learned the "gals'' had gone to a
party on the other side Of the creek,
so I went to bed cursing the luck
which deprived me from seeing
them that night.
The night had well advanced,
when I heard one o. the girls come
home, and passing into the adjoin-
ing room, was warming before some
Goals which were alive on the hearth.
It seemed the old lady and gentle
man slept in the same room, but |
was not aware of it till then. Hay
ing warmed herself, she turned to
leave the room, when the old man
spoke:
eGirls," said he, ssthe school
masters in your bed"
"Very WE'LL" said Sarah, and
passing through the room l slept in,
went up stairs. About an hour h lad
elapsed, when l heard Judy the
other one, come. She stood at the
door a long time, talking with her
"feller." then entered softly-Dis-
robing her III, She entered the
room where / lay, in her stock ng
feet. Carefully undressing herself,
and coming to the side of bed pre-

corner Of the pillow in mouth to
keep from laughing. In she bounced,
but the bed would squeak the old
man heard it and called out
"Judy!"
"Sir" sir was responded in a
faint-tone from the bed beside me.
"zHe schoolmaster's IN that

With one loud yell, an sob ! heav-
ems !" she landed on the floor, and
fled with the rapidity of a deer up
stairs.-She never heard the la st of
it, but probably she "larned some

known to the old folks.

The Republicans and Abolitionists are hav-
ing fresh excitement in Massachusetts,. On
the Sd inst, deputy U. s. Marshal FIRE EMAN,
arrested at Concord, Mass, one F. B. SAN
BORN who had been summoned to appear be-
fore the Senate Committee on the Harper's
Ferry raid, and had treated the summons
with contempt. The despatch says:
Watson Freeman, jr., deputy U. S. Mar
shall, and Silas Carlton, deputy sergeant at
arms of the U. S. Senate, called at San
born's residence at nine o'clock last night.
Sanborn refused to accompany them, when
he was handcuffed and taken to carriage at
the door, during which he struggled
violently, and the members of his family
cried, Murder" "Fire," etc. The excite
ment spread, and the town bells were rung,
collecting large crowd.
Rufus Homer, citizens, diel suddenly, it
is supposed from the excitement the affair
occasioned.
Sanborn was forcibly taken from the Of
fcers by the crowd, and kept out of their
power until writ of habeaS corpus could be
OUtdluCOs IL 10 ct1lu tuC VIII udS USSu pic
pared for some time in anticipation of the
arrest.
Deputy Sheriff John B. Moore served the
writ of habeas corpus, and arrested Sanborn,
which ended the mission of the U. S. Mar
shal's posse for the time being.
The following is the writ of habeas cor.
puS:
Commonwealth of Massachusetts, to the
sheriff of our country, etc.; We command
you that the body of Frank B. Sanborn, of
Concord, in the county of Middlesex, by
Silas Carlton imprisoned and restrained Of
his liberty, as it is said, be taken by you
before justice of our supreme judicial
court of Boston, in the county of Suffolk,
Immediately after the receipt of this writ, to
do and receive what our said justice shall
therein and there consider concerning him in
this behalf, and summon the said Silas Carle~
ton, then and there to appear before our said
justice to show the cause of the taking and
OBTAINING of the said B. F. SanborD, and
have you then this writ with the doings
thereon.
dated April Sd, 1860.
"Signed EBENEzER RocKwooD HoAR,
Associate justice of the supreme judicial
"cOurt."
John s. Reyes, John A. Andrews and
Sam. E. Sewell are counsel for Sanborn, and
the o. S. district attorney, G. L. Wood
bury, and Milton Andrews, for the United
States. The hearing is before the full bench,
consisting of Shaw, Metcalf, Bigelow, Mer-
rick and Hoar.
The subject of the arrest of Sanborn was
introduced before the legislature in the form
of resolution to employ the state attorney
general for the defense. The resolution was
briefly debated, and laid on the table.

that $4,000 worth of gold were taken out
IF the Tsh claim on the 9Th inst.

that 5000 worth of gold were taken out
of the Ish claim on the 9th inst.
These facts place this mine as far beyond
the famous Allison lead, Nevada county, as
that is beyond the ordinary quartz leads.
Gold Hill seems to be the headquarters of
the gold, as none is found along Rogue river,
above that place, while below, for many
miles, the canons, gulches, and banks of the
river have been found to pay, some as high
as ten or fifteen dollars to the hand, and
others showing only the color. The present
season has been an unusually dry one, and
this prompted many men to start out pros
pecting, for want of water, when these gen.
eral discoveries were made. After the Maui
~ claim was discovered, one of the men, who
had been herding cattle at or near Gold Hill,
remembered that he had found piece of
gold quartz on the top of the hill, some time
before, and this led to the marvellous revela-
ton. The Ish company, with common
arastra, crushed up four hundred pounds of
quartz, from which they extracted four hun
dred and forty>four ounces of gold, which
would make the rock average about thirty
five thousand dollars to the ton. These are
extravagant figures, but the sober facts seem
to sustain them.
PIXIES PEAK
The Pixies Peak mail arrived at Achinson'
K. T., on the 18th inst, with 10000 in dust.
Much excitement existed at Denver, in con-
sequence of the discovery of the Lecreto lead
in the Gregory mining district. In the lead
nuggets, pieces of quartz rock, encased in
scales Or leaves of gold were found, thing
heretofore unknown in the history of lode
mining. The average yield in the Grinnell
lead is six hundred dollars to the cord OF
dust, and rock gulch mining is generally re-
sumed, miners making from So to SIS per
day. Emigrants had continued arriving.

OF war steamer carrying Spanish colors.
He hove to find was queetioned by the
