LAUGuABLE EXPLOIT WITH A IARE-Pat
Synon witnessed the following amusing Incl
dent on Christmas: A Dltehman, with his
dog was in the woods on the hillside not
far from Sweetland. The dog started up a
Hare near the large ditch which traverses
that region, and gave chase The Hare
made a series of rapid bounds in the direc-
ton of the ditch and when arrived on its
bank leapt across it. The opposite side be-
ing preciptous, covered with ice, and conse-
quently very slippery, afforded it no foot
hold, and it slid down into the ditch The
dog was hard upon its launches, and plunged
into the water after it. The Hare, with a
quick instinct at preservation, turned its
head down stream, and struck rapidly off
with the current. Being a more expert
swimmer than the dog, the Hare gained up
on the latter very perceptibly. The Dutch
man, finding he would lose the Hare at this
rate, which he had fondly begun to hope
might be captured, ran along the base Of the
bank with the view of heading it off. Hav-
ing attained position some distance in ad-
vance of it, and finding it unwilling to for
sake the water, the Dutchman, in a moment
of excitement leapt into the ditch and as
the Hare approached, caught it by the ears
and bore it in triumph to the land. He had
=" N"iP'J iOihS oh IhO Dhuh W MuiCn
he bore his trophy, and into which he en-
deavored to thrust it. The Hare resisted,
and in the contest which ensued, bit the
Dutchman through the finger, which caused
him to drop it like a "hot potatoe." The
Hare took advantage of its freedom by ma
king-Rs Pat describes it-some of the tallest
stridas ever perpetrated by that kind of quad.
ruped. The Dutchman followed it with his
eyes, shaking his hand TO relieve it of pain
in the meantime, and sputtering round of
oaths in abominably bad English The day
being extremely raw and cold, and his gar
ments dripping with water, presented him a
spectacle Of laughter as well as commissera-
tion, which few men could have beheld with
out indulging in at least one side-splitting
volley. Pat confesses his want of good man
ners in this respect but in justification says
that, taken altogether, the scene was one of
the richest he ever beheld.-Sdn Juan Press,

The suhjoined items are from the Nevada
Democrat, of Thursday:
Found DEAD.-The body of VIM. Gambler
was found on Monday last. about mile from
Grass Valley, near the Buena Vista road,
where he had undoubtedly frozen TO death.
1t appears that he had been working at Mr..
Leach's saw mill, which place he left on the
24th of December, for Grass Valley, and
nothing more was heard of him until his
body was found, as above stated, lying in the
snow, some fifteen or twenty feet from the
road. 1t is supposed that he had become
chilled, and sitting down to rest fell asleep
and froze. Mr.. Gambler was a native of New
York, had Travelled considerably over the
world, having served as volunteer in the
Florida war, and was some 48 or so years
old. An inquest was held on the body by
Coroner Henry, to whom we are indebted for
the above particulars.
AFFRAY AT ORLEANS FLAT.--A difficulty oc.
Cured on Thursday last, Mt Orleans Flat be-
tween German named N. Steinhauser and a
man called "Pike." L. appears that Stein
hauser set his dog on Pike, when the men
commenced fighting, and before they could
be separated Stenhauser struck Pike Sc
we're blow on the head with slung-shot, and
like stabbed Steinhauser in the right lung,
ptiicting very dangerous wound. At last
accounts he was not expected to live.

shoots out his left hitting his assailant under
the right ear, sending him again to the earth
insensble AT the call of time for the 32d
round Blackwo ood was deaf to the call, and
his seconds threw up the sponge as token
OF defeat.
In the whole 81 rounds fought, occupying,
in the aggregate, 43 minutes, Blackwoods
greatest punishment was in the last of these
bouts being knocked completely out of tine
by heavy blows about the head. His eyes
were completely closed, and he had to be
carried from the ring by his friends in an in-
sensible condition.
Tracy, on the contrary, was by no means
badly hurt being able to walk, unassisted,
from the place of encounter to his carriage
His mawleys, the left in particular, however
were much swollen
REMARKs.-There can be no doubt that
Blackwood went in determined to win the
fight. AS a brave and determined boxer,
and one who has struggled honestly to win,
he is deserving the sympathy and kind con-
sideraton of his friends, by whom we hope
he will not be forgotten.
OF Tracy, it is only requisite to state that
he has, in this passage of arms, acquitted him
self in a manner highly gratifying to his
friends; and said on retiring from the ring,
that on account of his wife and family he
would forever retire from the fistic ring

KENNovAN THE PEDESTRIAN Kennovan did
not complete his proposed pedestrian feat of
walking ll2 consecutive hours in this city
Ills feet failed before he reached the one hun
dredth hour, and he had then been support
ed for some time by two men, who held him
up as he moved forward on the best leg
But as even this time has never been accom-
phshed, it is probable no man in America or
England can compete with him as walker.
"hen man merely keeps awake three days
and three nights, exhausted nature ordinari-
y rebels at the outrage upon her rules, and
the experiinentor finds himself prostrated or
uefanged but TO not only keep awake, and
10 walk incessantly, and carry a knapsaek
ana musket besides, is a feat which seems in
credible. Kennovan is an old Rocky Noun
aln trontersman-a small, wiry man, about
nIty years of age. He was out yesterday,
win cane to support himself, being little
l"tne after his pedestrian exhibition.-AitG.
We saw Kennovan, in 1858, and he didn't
look more than 81 or 3s years of age.

The PooLs OF FSoLoMoN.-Descendng into
Valley, says the correspondent of the N. Y
Examiner, VIC soon reached the Pools of Sol
omon--three immense open tanks OF reser-
yoirs, stretching away at our left, partly hid
at first by large rectangular old khan or
castle. These remarkable pools, evacuated in
part from the rocky bed of the valley, and in
part built up of stone masonry, are so arrang-
ed on different grades that the second might
be emptied into the third, and the first into
the second, evidently for the purpose of col
Letting much water They are rectangular
shaped, varying in size from 400 to 600 feet
in length, about 220 feet in breadth and from
80 to SO feet in depth, all containing clear
water. After lunch, under the shadow of the
old castle, and near well like opening lead
ing down to rushing and roaring streams
through vaulted chambers of stone work,
took refreshing bath. They are supplied by
a large fountain some forty rods to the north
west but flowing under ground the water is
not seen till il reaches the well.
If Solomon built these stupend0us works
and such seems to be the impression -
then this well may have been the fountain
sealed, to which in his song he compared the
sister spouse and the garden enclosed
may have occupied the intervening space
down to the first pool. Here was the country
seats and pleasure grounds, as described by
himself: 81 made me great works | build
ed me houses planted me vineyards
made me gardens and orchards, and planted
trees in them of all kinds of fruits made
me pools of water, to water Herewith the
wood that bringcth forth trees. The site
was admirably chosen, only six or seven miles
from Jerusalem, in a region finely diversified
with glens, and hills and fountains, and the
soil capable ofthe highest and most blooming
fruitfulness. The hill-slopes around these
relics of the old and solemn past, now for tho
most part rocky and bare, have the appear

SUICIDE OF AN INvALID-Wm. Morrow, a
native of Ireland, so years of age, recently
killed himself in New York. Deceased, it
was showI, had been parazed in his limbs
for nearly eight years, and in consequence
was incapable of working at his trade of a
harness maker. His family became almost
destitute, and their misfortunes had very
depressing effect upon him, and frequently in
ms uespondent fits he would tell his wife
that HE was buroe" q him. as he could
not live and see her and his children surer.
Fearing that he would take his life, for some
time past Mrs Morrow had exercised much
caution in keeping everything out of lis
reach with which he would be likely TO CON-
nit self-destruction, but on Tuesday morn
ing, during her absence from home, he called
his little boy and told him that he wanted
his razor to cut his beard. The instrument
was taken to him and he Immediately drew it
across his throat, causing a fatal wound.
