At the death of q wOmansenow
very old, the aboriginal race of Van
Dieman's Land-the Tasnnanians-
will become extinct. The last man
of the race died last March, which
occasioned some very disgracefuI pro-
oeedings among the local scientific
societies for the possession of the
body. The head was surreptitiously
ent off and carried away, and the
body Subseq aentlyo stolen from the
grave. In q work written by for
mer inspector of SCHOOLS at Victoria,
an account is given of the inhuman
atrocities upon the poor Fasmanians
first subjugaJed, then demorali1ed
and at last extinguished. Like much
of the trouble with ourIndians, they
were at first g0adedI into opposition
by outrageS by the settlers, and this
natural retaliation made the pretext
for Wanton slaughter. The young
Tasmaniens were Kidnapped and en-
shaved, the women forced to the most
immoral purpose, and the number Of
'tblack crOWsp shot down for "sportn
made the subjects of boast. tits even
stated that the settlers and; eonvicts
killed the poor natives for TODD for
their dogs, and that poisoned rum
was employed to destroy them. Dec
imated thus by the whites, and help
ed on by their own fondness for H.
quor, it is not to be wondered at that
they rapidly disappeared from the
earth. A small number of half-castes
are on the island, but they have a
tendency to die out, fecundity of the
hybrids appearing to continue for
long. f-s s II

The LeaYenWOrth Bulletin. of the
1st says:
Some months ago we published an
account of coal being discovered on
Captain Burks' farm on the Delaware
lands, aboug sixteen miles from this
city. A further examination for the
coal disclosed the fact that gold ex-
lists, and that, too, inquautities large
enough to admit ofsuccessful mining.
The discovery was made in about the
following manner: Some weeks ago
an old California miner happened
along, and desired Captain Burks TO
give him employment as q farm la
borer. The man was hired, and,
while wandering over the place, and
making various examinations,
thought evidences of gold were Vlsi-
bic, and determined to prospect for
the metal. With his knowledge of
what was required to commence
prospecting, he soon figged up q
temporary apparatus and made. the
test. Much to the surprise of the
Captain and himself the earth yield
ed the color at the first attempt. The
work was continued, and soon enough
gold was accumulated TO make good
showing. The Californian firmly
expresses the belief that, the soil cons
itains gold enough to pay good wages
for washing it out. The discovery
will be pushed still further.-

the standard of BEEOHER morality
