Personal.

Our respected fellow-citizen, VIM. w. Wood
bury, Esq, returned from San Francisco
whittier he had been to witness the marriage
of daughter-last Monday, in excellent
health, not having suffered days sickness
since he left New York for California to his
arrival home.
Mr. Woodbury. returned by the overland
route. He purchased ticket in San Fran
cisco for Aitchison, but the coaches stopped
when they arrived at Latham, on account of
the Indian troubles. This was about 1850
miles from San Francisco. At Latham there
was large number of passengers bound for
the Atlantic States, and as they did not wish
to remain there, or return to California, they
made arrangements with the drivers of some
freight wagons bound to Missouri to take them
along-the distance being about $50 miles to
the river.
From Latham to Fort Kearney they traV-
eied about thirty miles day in these wagons.
There were about forty in the party. They
did their own cooking, and took turns at night
in keeping guard. One day they passed the
graves of eleven persons who had been MUIR
dered by the Indians, one of whom was fe-
male. There were two females in the com
pany that were slain by the Indians, but one
Of them was taken into captivity. Another
night their camping ground was within TWEEN
ty-fve or thirty miles of band of $50 hostile
Indians. Our travellers did not know this I'M
til the next day, when they were informed OF
it by some U. S. officers. who were raising an
expedition against the savages.
He stopped three days at Salt Lake City,
and had an interview with Brigham Young,
who introduced him to some of the Mormon
notables, and some Of his tYoung's) daugh-
tiers. Mr.. W. did not see any of Brigham's
wives.
Mr. w. says robberies were very frequent
on the mountains, and will continue TO be, in
consequence of the unsettled state of that
country. He met several large trains of emf
grants bound to the Mormon settlements,
which had stopped at military stations until
wagons enough could be collected together in
one body to make the passage safe and resist
an attack from the Indians.
His passage from San Francisco to st. Louis
occupied thirty-nine days, including the stop
pages,

1uuoF6o duu I l0kpOCh6Us Oh bn6 OafS,
The anticipated fight for $500 side between
Turner and Kerrigan, which was to have taken
place yesterday in the vicinity of Island Pond,
attracted thither large number Of ropghs, of
the worst kind, from Boston and New York.
The fight did not come of, in consequence of
Turner being two pounds and half heavier
than the specified weight, and the parties re-
turned back yesterday in the cars.
The thieves and pickpockets did pretty
good business on the route. They were full
of rowdyism, and at West Milan, where the
train had to stop some ffteen minutes In cen
sequence of the breaking of an axle, they
cleaned out rum shop and stole boots, fish,
&c. At every station they exercised finger
ing Of pockets, and also in the cars, stealing
watches and purses. At Gorham, N. e., Mr..
Harrington, one of the employees on the rail-
road, stepped on to the platform moment,
and was instantly relieved of valuable gold
watch.
Mr. Dexter Daniels had valuable gold
watch stolen, but be was able to point out the
scamp, and Mr.. Kerrigan, brother of the one
who was to have fought, recovered it for him.
Kerrigan also assisted Mr.. Gould, the conduc-
tor, in recovering several other watches that
had been stolen, and he, as well as the two
fighting men, are said to have behaved like
gentlemen in the cars. 500
Mr.. Gould telegraphed to the City Marshal
to have large police force In attendance at
the depot here, when the cars arrived This
was done for the protection of passengers and
others at the depot from the operations of the
the thieves. The police force was on hand
when the cars arrived, but most of the rowdies
had left the cars while coming around Mum
joy and as they passed the Portland works. No
particular ones could have been pointed out
as committing the outrages, and, consequent
ly, all escaped.
There we're some fifty or sixty of these ruff
fans who went up to witness the fight, and
who returned to this city yesterday. The
train was about an hour late in arriving here,
and did not connect with the train for Boston.
Some of this gang took the boat for Boston
last evening. --.

FINE FRU1T.-The difficulty of maturing
good peaches in this climate, and preserving
the trees has been experienced by al
most every good gardener 1t is rarely that
such crop can be made successful. Hon.
JOHN B. Browns garden has proved an ex-
ception to the general rule. He has succeed
ed in producing as fine fruit as is raised in
New Jersey or elsewhere. We acknowledge
our indebtedness to his courtesy for very
fine sample lot. Some Of the peaches will
measure, we should judge, nearly five inches
In circumference, and better favored fruit
we have nevsr tasted. Mr.. Brown also raises
large Quantities of all the favorite varieties of
pears. de has Grapery, very extensive,
from which he will gather not less than 1900
pounds Of choice fruit His grounds are
finely laid out, and constitute one of the
most attractive spots in the city. His car.
dener is Patrick Duffey, and he evidently
understands his business.
