GB- Several of the men who arrived In
this city in the Nova Scotian on Wednesday,
made complaints before a public meeting in
Boston called by their fellow countrymen on
Friday evening to investigate the case, that
they had been unfairly dealt by. They repre-
sented that they had left good employment in
Dublin to come to this country, at the solicit
alton of Mr.. Finney, who promised them
work on railroads, water-works and coal
mines, at certain sums, with board, clothing,
de-. that when they arrived in Portland he
neglected to provide them with food, but got
several of them intoxicated, and they were
arrested, and ten Of them had to promise to
enlist before they We're released; also, that
when they arrived in Charestown they were
deprived of the necessaries of life. being
obliged to sleep on bare floor without cover
ing, having very little food, and on Thursday
morning no breakfast, but quantity of poor
whisky which intoxicated many Of them.

ARTIFICIAL HooFs FOR HoRsEs.-It is in
portant to calculate The various useful pur
poses to which gutta percha may be applied.
One of the most ingenious applications recent
lv made of this valuable substance is that of
making artificial hoofs for horses fee. Many
ingenious devices have been restored to. to
attain this result but the adoption Of gutta
percba viii doubtless, supersede all others as
soon as its efficacy becomes recognized. What
is required by the veterinary surgeon is a
substance possessing the consistence of horn,
to retain the nails of the shoe; that will
readily soften by heat so as to mold itself 70
the required form; that it be indissoiuble in
water seeing that the horses hoof is gener.
ally in contact with moisture; and, lastly,
that it be capable of uniting perfectly with
the hoof. No known substance possesses all
these qualities except gutta percha. For the
purpose under consideration it is prepared
by being cut into fragments the size of a nut
and softened in hot water; the pieces are
then mixed with half their weight of pow
dered sal ammoniac and melted together in
timed saucepan over gentle fire, keeping
the mass well stirred the mixture must as
sumo chocolate color When required for
use it should be melted in glue pot the
surface of the hoof must be scraped clean and
the sutta percha applied as required. The
application NAV be facilitated BY to use of
q GLACIERS knife warmed, by which the SUR
face of the artificial hoof may be smoothed
and polished In this manner many valu-
able horse may be rendered useful which
otherwise would only remain fit for slaughter
On the score of humanity also, this applica-
ton of gutta peFcha is to be Welcomed

After short rest Ford continued the pur-
suit, and at daylight the next morning beat
up the camp and fouad all had fed, save six
Mexicans who had been left to watch the
movements of the Americans Having se-
cur d these men and exchanged their own
tired horses for fresh ones, the settlers fol-
lowed the trail and when, having ridden
some six miles, they came in sight of the
>flexican force. which now was under the
Command of Captain Joaquin de la Tore.
who had joined Padlla with company of
SIXTY five men. making their total eighty
five. Ford had but eighteen, six prisoners
and twenty-five horses-reauiring at least
four men to guard however, they were brave
and did not fear to run any risk Ford di-
vided his men into two platoons of seven each,
and charged upon the Mexicans to within
about one hundred yards, when they sudden
ly threw themselves from their horses and
took to trees; which the enemy considered to
be panic, charged upon Ford's men, who
let them come up to within about twenty
yards. when one platoon cleared seven sad
dies of their riders. The Californians were
surprised; at first tried to rally, and then
fed separately in every direction. The sec
ond platoon now made good use of their re-
served fire, killing two and wounding four
men and one horse. De la Tore fled towards
San Rafael. Ford having accomplished what
he desired, and his presence being required
at Sonoma, he returned thither with some ff-.
teen prisoners and about three hundred hor i
es.-Appeal 4

A SELF OPERATING SEWING MAcHINE-A
matchmaker named Zuckerman from San
Jose, has. after two years of incessant labor
perfected a self operating sewing machine.
which dispenses entirely with hand and foot
power, running as fast or slow as desired. and
relieving the sewer of all necessity fer phys
ical exertian other than to guide the cloth so
as to form the seams or work the pattern of
the embroidery, as may be desired. The
wonder, now that the job is accomplished. is
that nobody ever thought of it before The
machine moves as noiselessly as common
clock. and does its work with a regularity
and neatness hardly attainablc, we shoald
judge, by treadle or hand machine fhd.

The S7oEK MANIA IN New YoRK.-A cor
respondent of the Cincinnati Enquirer writes
as follows concerning the rage for specula-
ting in stocks now existing in New York:
As an illustration of the popular mania
for specializing in stocks, the fact may be
mentioned that within fifteen minutes of the
"openingp " of subscriptions in a certain gold
mining company lately, double the amount
of its capital stock was subscribed, and so
anxious were the crowd to ''go in, p" that doors
and windows gave way before the pressure
At one time it was thought the interference
of the Police would be necessary to main
tain order. Some parties resold their inter-
ests before leaving the room at handsome
advance. 1t mattered not whether the afore-
siad 9 gold Mines had an earthly existence
or not, The people did not care. apparently
whether they were located in Colorado or in
the clouds. What they wanted was 6 shares"
:. shares, - g shares" of something, and the
want had to be supplied. Women are inter.
rested largely in these gambling operations
as we'll as men. The dear creatures, it is
true, do not appear in the crazy crowd in
proprid persona, but moderately sharp optics,
nevertheless. as | have informed yop before,

or in back Offices near by, anxiously await

GREAT GUNs.-If they get them into posi-
ton, the guns now in San Francisco will
most etfectually protect the entrance to that
harbor by way of the Golden Gate The two
guns. belonging to the Conanche have Is

pounds. Two other guns of the same caliber
has also arrived, and as soon as possible will
be mounted on Alcatraz. they weigh 25
tuns each, without the carriages, and so great
is the job of diseharging them that proposals
for doing the work have been advertised
With the Comanche afoat and armed. the
two monsters on Alcatraz, and the one hun

100 Founders, stationed around the harbor,
San Francisco will be safe on one side but
to protect her from an attack in the rear, she
must have more guns and more earthworks.

Total military increase in 1861,


From this last number, the losses by war
in 1861, beyond the usual number in peace
times. should he deducted TO complete the es-
Inmates for that year. But the immigration
from foreign countries in 1861 was less than
one half of what it reached in 1868, and it.
will probably reach still greater volume
this year-a large proportion of it being of
the military age.
OF the actual annual increase throughout
the whole country of males entering upon
the military age from the home element tsav
an idcrease of l0U,000) it is difficult to make
an apportonment between the States under
the rebel control and those within the Union
lines. But it would certainly be unsafe to
give the rebel States. as they now stand.
more than $4,000 as their armed increase of
males of the military age. This entirely ig-
nores the foreign migrant element, which
has not latterly entered the South. The an
nual increase in the North of males of the
military age, from home and foreign sources,
may thus be computed at about 10000
making from this number certain deductions
for men actually killed in battle.-A,my and
