"A TOBACCO SToRY.-A Berlin correspondent
writes: Two years agoa society was establish
ed in Berlin, the members of which agreed to
preserve all the points of their cigars, instead
of biting them off and throwing them away.
These ends are collected, and then sold in large
quantities, either for the manufacture of snuff
or smoking in pipes. The sum thus raised is
auplied to the maintenance and education of
orphans; and some idea of the extent of the So.
ciety and the intensity of its affection for the
weed NAV be gained from the fact that the c-
gar-ends of two years'saving have brought in
a sufficient sum for the maintenance OF twenty
two children. = 20 Aolf'l y '+'4if'I 1t q.

STORE BREAKNa.-Monday night some per-

covered that one of the windows was broken
After passing by, it occurred to one of them
that some mischief might be going on, and the
party turned back. AS they approached the
store fellow bolted out of it and made off,
He took nothing by his movements, as he was
in too much of hurry to escape, and vacated
the premises as soon as he heard the men re-
turning to examine the store. ~ 'a' @ r-F

RATHER .r DnY-A curious Christmas Christi a festival

RATHER DRY-A curious Christmas festival
given at lBlennerhasset, Cumberland, Eng
land, by Mr.. William Lawson, is reported in
the English papers. Mr.. Lawson is a vegeta-
rian, and gave an entertainment accordingly:
About 1000 people attended. The farm
buildings were decorated, and in the large
rooms singing and dancing and Iecturing on
phrenology, cooperation, vegetarianism and
physiology, went forward at intervals during
the day. AT noon ameal of grain, fruit and
vegetables was given, which rather surprised
some OF the beef-eating peasantry who had as
sembled to take part in the festival. There
were raw turnips, boiled cabbages, boiled
wheat, boiled barley, shelled peas (half ton Of
the three last named); oat meal cruel, with
chopped carrots turnips, and cabbage in it; boil
ed horse beans, boiled potatoes: salads, made of
over which was poured linseed boiled to a jel-I
ly. As there were no condiments Of any kind,
either upon the extraordinary messes or the Ia
BILE, and all being cold except the potatoes, it
may be imagined the guests did not sit down
with much relish to their vegetarian fares.-
Each had an apple. and biscuit presented on
rising from the table. ifsd ~ -l3ft s35la-i

MISSING SINGULAR FAMILY FATALITY
The bark Orsina, Capt. Hiram Smith, sailed
from Key West for Liverpool the 18th of last
March, since which time nothing has been
heard of the vessel or those ON board. Captain
Smith had sailed from this port for number
of years, and was respected by large circle of
friends. He had with him on this fatal voyage
his wife, three children and his brother, Chas
Smith, who was mate of the bark The latter
leaves wife and two children. He was
young man of excellenHqualities.
This sad loss of 50 many from one family is
doubly sad in that several other members of
the same family have persisted atsea. A BROTH
er, Collingwood Smith, and a brother-in-law.
were among the victims of the numbering mu-
tineers on board the brig Albion Cooper 1857,
and in December 1864 another brother, Capt.
Woodbury. Smith, sailed from Halifax, N. S.,
having with him his wife. They were never
heard from. The mother of this family now
resides in this city. '''. ni"i q I

report IN part confirms previous statements.

the wonders Of the Pacific coast, like the
Yosemite, the big trees, the Geysers, &c
Besldes the curiosities there appears 10 be an
abundance of silver at Black Rock, but the
ore is said to be Of an unusual variety and
very difficult to work but it has been work
ed with very good results at the mills at
Washoe. The quantity of ore is SO great
that tits said it will justify the erection of a
thousand mills. A gentleman. who has visited
the section has exhibited to the-cditor OF the
l-astern Slope very many cIriesities peculiar.

He also tells us of many strange things
that he saw but could not bring with him,
