THE Chesterfield Is. c. Democrat says
that fellow made his appearance in Marl-
borough the other day, carrying with him a
large quantity of painted surveyors pins and
measuring line, who told the negroes he
was Whitmore's son, and his father had sent
him to lay of in small tracts some lands he
had purchased for them with the proceeds Of
the cadet>hip. He named the parties from
whom the lands were purchased, but said he
must have SIS for locating each tract, in adj
vance. In this way he gathered large sum
of money, and having borrowed a suit Of
clothes left the dupes for a season.

FIsH1NG.-The Vallejo Chronicle of May
10th says: From an actual resident of Lake
county, and BY the way, a disciple Of Izaak
Walton, we learn that there are three lakes,
known as the Blue lakes, situated on the
road from Upper Clear Lake to Ukiah in
Mendocino county. This, of itselfis nothing
improbable; but these lakes are inhabited
not by a serpent, but BY fish, and fish of i'm
mense size. Many persons living in the vi
einity of these lakes have frequently seen
them, and they are represented as being from
ten to fifteen feet in length. James Parrish
of Lakeport, is at present engaged in prepar-
ing tackle for the purpose of irving to cap
ture one or more Of these scaly monsters.
When it is known that these lakes are situ-
ated in a mountainous country and have no
whatever with any other body
of water, the fact of their being inhabited BY
such large fish is quite remarkable. One Of
the above lakes has been sounded to the depth
OF three hundred and fity feet and no bottom
found.

Death or How. JAMES M. PoRTER.-
The Hon. james NJ. Porter, Judge of the
Eighth Judicial District Court, died at his
residence in O~pelousas on the Sd inst. after
q long and lingering illness.
Our Parish Court being in session, when
the sad news Of Judge Porter's death

. few appropriate remarks, announced the
sad intelligence to the Court, when the
following preamble and resolutions were
submitted, and meeting with unanimous
approval, the Judge presiding ordered the
same to be- spread upon the minutes Of

Our Earthquake.

Saturday at 5 A. NJ. there was felt in this
locality q very decided oscillation Of the
earth. 1t was an. u~nduatory movement,
lasting only a few seconds, but powerful
enough to startle many Of our citizens from
their morning nap. s..t.E'
It is If course a continuation of the wave
of commotion which SO recently ~astounded
the people of the Atlantic coast, and still
later nightly impaired the equilibrium of
the Californians. "
It is singular that with the fate Of New
Madrid before us, we almost began to fam
cy we were safe from the dynamic distur-
Dances which have destroyed more human
life in the shortest space of time than any
other known force.
These earth waves Of commotion propa-
gate themselves over an extent of many
thousand miles. On the 1st Of November
1855 when the city of Lisbon was destroyed,
a portion Of the earth's surface four times
larger than Europe was shaken.
OF course we didn't have much of a shock
in this little corner, but it caused a distur-
bance. It is hard. in the midst of all U
political and social commissions, to feel tina:
we have no firm round earth !" to bear us
up. Who can say when it will return and
shake us into a worse tumble than we
are at present But no, it could not we'll
be worse, even if as at Riobamba, one mans
garden should find its way into another
mans cellar. Heaven knows the law of
"meum and tuum v are disregarded by 9th
er things besides earthquakes.
We noticed no meteorological phenomena
or special appearance Of the sky before the
shock. The clouds the previous day hung
low and heavy, and about the hour ofsurset
were tinged with singular coppery glow.
The night was warmer than is usual at
this season, and still.
Our strange visitor came and went,
~leavingsno security behind it, that there
will not BE a return, before all the late
solar disturbances settle down again. Yer
lily both sun and earth seem shaken. out of
their orbits.
