lar with the country and it's Inhabitants.
Accounts from Sitka of March 28th rep
resent that the Inhabitants were not a little
astonished at learning that the country
would probably be annexed to the United
States. The Deputy Administration :
General harangued the people Oh the sub
ject, expatiatiDg on the beue6cenee, wealth
and va.ue of the United States, winding
up by telling them that the country was
only q dependency of Russia! At the
same time delegation of fishermen were
threatened with punishment if they show
ed any feeling of premature satisfaction at
their deliverance from the despotism of
the Fur Company. There is a manifest
joy on the part of tbs people, however, al
their change of masters. Fears were en-
terlained that If the news were made
known TO the Kolochian tribes, who dwell
upon the southern shelf of land nearest
the United States, their hereditary antipa-
thy to the Russians would result in out
break and STELLAR atrocities TO those that
marked The sIosmiug OF Sitka sixty years
ago by the same savages.
The town of Sitka Is built upon ledge
of rocks overhanging bay that is never
frozen over, but is enveloped in fog three
hundred days in the year. This would
allow one days sunshine per week. The

KANSAS ORCHARD.

The editor of the Lawrence Journal
speaks thus of an orchard near Lawrence.
We republish 1t to encourage others:
cit was our pleasure last evening to
visit the orchards Of one of our most sue
cessful fruit growers in this State, Mr..
Bracket, living on the Lecompton road,
.nree miles west of the city. Mr.. B. has
tTenty acres planted to an orchard, upon

t'oUO young apple trees Just commencing

energy trees this season have born thrss
bushels TO the tree, this being the third
/ year OF bearing and seven years old. soma
four years old are bearing This
season half a bushel to the tree
Hls farm is high upland pra;.
RE, with not a native tree within two
miles OF the place. and yet as one strolls
through his fne orchards and ssas tha
trees loaded down with lucious fruit. one
thinks he is back in old New York or
Michigan, and forgets that be is on the
high, bleak and barren plains of Kansas.
The twenty acres of orchard is entirely
surrounded by a fine hedge of Usage Or
ange, which with the beautiful belts of
maple aud other trees, and the orchard
itself, now that it has attained such fine
growth, afford the fullest protection to all
small fruit, and perfect security against
the high winds that prevail in this Sec
ton of the State. 1t will be remem-
bered that a. few DAYS since the wind blew
unusually hard. We expected to see Mr..
Bracket's orchard, especially the heavily
bearing trees, much injured by the wind,
but not broken limb was noticed, nor
any of the fruit shaken off to do any dam
age.
Mr.. Bracket finds by his experience
that dwarf pear trees have an abundant
fruitage, as q visit to his orchard Will con-
vince the most incredulous, but the
standard apple trees fruit much the best.
10 this rich soil trees are apt to grow
to body too much at the expense of fruit
ing. This was noticed in the pear orch
ard which stubbornly refused to bear so
long as he cultivated the ground, and
kept the soil perfectly free from weeds,
but as soon as he abandoned the culture
of the soil around the trees they COM
menced bearing, and are now loaded
dc Wn with fruit.

A THRILLING SCENE At A CIRCUS.

Gee OF the most exciting events ever wit
messed, resulting in the serious wounding
ol Prof. Chas. White, the lion tanner,
took place last evening at the circus. Al
the close of the performance the cage OIL
lions, containing TWO lions and Two lion
esses, is brought in and Mr.. White enters
the cage and performs with them, max
ing them Jump through hoop, ADD over
his back, etc. The largest lion is a saw
age creature, and has exhibited penchanl
for swapping at White, so that his friends
have been alarmed, and Avery Smith, the
celebrated circus and menagefis proprie-
tor. from whom these lions were purchas
ed, who was in town yesterday, told the
professor that he had better not perform
with this fellow, for be was too savage,
and would some day turn upon HIM aud
eat him up. White acknowledged that
he was pretty savage but said be was de
termiued to conquer him. He little
dreamed that Mr.. Smiths assertion would
almost prove true the same day, but such
was the fact, for when Mr. White open
ed the partition in which this king of the
forest was penned, he stopped down TO
compel the animal 20 jump over him, but
he sprang upon him and In an instant had
imbeded his ugly teeth in Whites shout
der. raising him up and shaking him as a
terrier would rat. He then let 60 his
hold and snapped him again, when some
men who were standing near the cage
beat him off with iron bars which were
kept on hand in case of necessity. One OF
the bars was put in his Jaw an priei upon
which made him let go his hold. White
then got out of the cage and faluted as be
stepped upon the grouud. He was pick
ed up and conveyed ia a carriage to the
National Hotel, and Dr. WhHbeck sum
moned 20 dress his wounds. The Doc
tor found eight large iGcisions through
the shoulder. The collar bone was brok
en-, as was also the shoulder blade. The
wounds were OF terrible nature, for the
teeth OF the animal were blunt, aud the
decisions large enough to insert the 6u
ger. The hon also clawed him twice
with his sharp claws, cutting open the
flesh fearfully. A half minute later and
Mr.. White would never have come out OF
that cage alive. As it is be is in very
dangerous condition. and the chances for
bis recovery are very slim.
Il is related that one of the other lions
sprang upon the beast and endeavored to
pull him of. The other beasts are per
lpctly tanned and are very gentle. Mr..
White, had already had similar tussls
with other lions, but was not so badly
hurt. He is a man of undsunted cOuF-
age, and bore the operation of extracting
sha ,,iarss of h0na yZifh0ut a uouFm n r

FErRoLruM FORMED FROM srA-wrED.

PETROLEUM FORMED FROM SEA-WEED.
This theory of the formation of rock-oil
has been advanced BY Professor Wilbur.

that petroleum has had Its source in ma.
rine vegetation, just as coal has been de-
rived from terrestrial plants. Few per-.
sons have ar adequate ideaof the iHnmense.
growth Of sea-weed In the depths Of the
ocean. After their term of growth was
completed they became detached, foated
off, and finally sunk to the bottom tits
a received opinion among geologists that
this portion Of the North American conti-
nent had once been the bed of Saliva
ter ocean. The ocean floor, as must be
remembered, was not level. but had
throughout its whole extent deep hollows
that these sea-weed deposits would find
their last resting place after long tossing
about in the waves and ocean currents
In this way it would come to pass that
that they would not be evenly distributed
over the bottom, but only in these hol-
lows or pockets. Meanwhile the deposit
of solid stratifed rock, or what afterward
became such, was gong ON, and after un-
told ages these masses of sea weed became
covered to various depths. He consider
ed it no very unreasonable or lnscientiic
supposition that these masses of oily, car
bonaceous matter, should, under the cir
cumstances, take the form of oil, of q L.
