Loss By THE BURNING OF THE RAILROAD
BnIDGE.-The Sacramento Record has the
following: "The Central Pacific Company
underworld this bridge itself. The structure
cost $4,000 to build, and it will probably
cost as much, if not more, to replace. The
destruction OF the old bridge was complete.
The track was burnt away entirely. The
piers are Quilted. The iron is twisted and
warped and wreathed and turned into every
imaginable shape. The bolts and chairs and
hsh plates also appear to have passed through
a ferce agony of FIRE, and their stubborn ma
ture has Welded to the terrible influence OF
that ordeal. Nothing that would burn re-
mains whole. Few things, whether destruct-
ibie or indestruc,ible, remain unchanged.
The Fire Fiend has breathed upon the face
OF the works, and blasted them. None who
have witnessed that scene can ever forget it.
/ hose who saw the Southern States during
the rebellion, and who remember the track
tearing and bridge burning of that time, have
been forcibly reminded Of those scenes by
this incendiarism. And the parallel 10 still
further carried out BY the fact that here, As

CuRIous BArrLE-FIELD RELIcs.-The
Des MONIES (Iowa) Register has the fol-
lowing:
The Eastern papers describe singular
relic of the war which some reconstruct
ed Johnny Reb exhibits at Richmond.
1t is two musket balls welded together
into two fiat disks, inseparably united
by meeting in full flight over battle
field. The press of the East claim that
for this oddity there is no duplicate.
But there is greater curiosity in Iowa.
Mr.. W. A. J. Seals, of Monroe, has
shown us two minnie balls which were
picked up on the field of battle after the
second conflict at Bull Run. The balls
met at right angles, and the point of
one was buried half way in the body of
the other. The ball that was struck is
bent, and the striking bullet is fattened,
but the plug end is plainly marked.

The White Pine News states the financial

The White Pine News states the financial
situation very happily in the following brief
paragraph:
The question that perplexed the lawmakers
is almost solved by the force of common usage.
The experts could not devise law to blot out
the difference between two currencies both
guaranteed by Congress. While the problem
has been perplexing the wiseacres, the people
have found that the world has an abundance
of specie and a lack of convenient paper cur
rency. The premium on specie broke down
under the discovery, and currency goes up to
its level. Silver being more convenient for
small change, it is superse6sg paper in the
East. Paper being convenient for CONNER
cial uses, the California merchants are be-
ginning to announce their readiness to take
greenbacks at par for their wares. 1t would
be we'll for our legislators to leave good
many matters to adjustment BY the laws OF
trade, instead of going into such minutia of
legislation.

A RECENT MURDER in the White Pine
country is thus accounted for by the
White Pine News of March Goth
The Mexican, Corvallis, who, it is sup
posed, murdered Peruvian Joe, went
from Chapman's to Spring Valley, &C.
cording to his expressed intention.
Chapman owns ranch in Spring Valley
between the Rice brothers ranch and
Piermont. At present, and for some
months past, a countryman and acquaint-
ance of Corralis has been living on Chap.
mans ranch, and had in his possession
two horses belonging to the supposed
murderer. These Corralis took with him,
after a two days sojourn with his friend,
and expressing his intention ofgoing to
Ely, started south. Those who have
known Corralis intimately, believe him
incapable of committing a cold-bloodeG
murder, and account for the circumstan-
ces on the theory that the two got into
a drunken row which ended in the shoot
ing of Joe by Corralis. That be should
attempt to save himself afterward by
fight was quite natural.

PECULIAR FIREwooD.-The Sacramen
to Bee says firm in that city who have
contract for furnishing firewood to a
public Institution in another county in
California, received, a few days since, a
letter on the subject, of which the fol.
lowing is copy:
You will confer great favor by tell
ing me where that last lot of wood
wrote about came from, as | want to
have kind of CRIB made of it SO l can
take refuge inside when the final confia-
with hot volcanic lava. A fortune can
be made out of that wood by selling it to
the parties who are making those patent
fire. proof safes. thought for time
vas asbestus. either of the hornblende
or pyroxene varieties, but, on making
rial, l found its non-combustible quail
ties were far superior to those of the
aforesaid minerals. No human agency
can bring the molecules of this-wood (?)
and the molecules of oxygen in the at
mosphere within the spheres Of their
mutual attractions, consequently there
can be no combustion, and It's attendant
development of caloric. This woodhas,
however, conferred upon me that "peace
which passeth understanding" in re-
moving from my sceptical mind all doubt
about the safety of the three children
into the fiery furnace by the
wicked Nebuchadnezzar. They were
clothed in garments woven
from the fibre of this wood. The sala
mauders are tree-frogs that fatten on
the leaves of that most delectable and
immortal forest You can't get up any
in this wood about burning;
like our patriots at Bull Run, it seems
TO lose all interest when brought near
he fire. If the Temple of Diana of the
Ephasians had been built of this mat
rial, the ass who set fire to that noble
structure would have seen his hopes of
nipped in the bud and fall
