A SINGULAR CAsE.-The Corinne
Reporter has the following: Some
weeks ago parties prospecting in the
mountains eight miles northeast of
Corinne came upon a small hole upon
q cliff, which seemed rs If 1t had been
washed out into n larger opening
below. They tore away the earth and
stones, and found what they supposed
to be a we'll, about five feet wide and
extending down into the solid rock.
They paid no further attention to 1t
but q party of Mormons visited it soon
after, and report that they went down
thirty feet, where they found a rocky
bottom and two passages leading OIL
into the mountain, which they did not
explore, being unprovided with proper
lights, and fearing to come upon some
abrupt descent. Further examination
showed that the opening had been
carefully rooted over with stones and
covered with dirt. A party Of Nor
mons o after filled In the hole with
dry timber and set 1t OH fire, but they
gave no explanation of what their
object was In this. They pronounced
it merely a natural cave; but, from the
surroundings, others think 1t the result
Of former attempts at mining. Our
citizens will remember the popular
rumor that q considerable party went
prospecting for ores in that region over
four years ago, Of whom no informa-
ton was ever received. Some curiosity
exists as to whether the two facts have
any connection.

MODE OF COOKING MEN.-In giving
m account Of the eating Of q French
soldier by cannibals, the London Ne,cs
says: If any one Of US looks forward
to being eaten by c%annibals, he may
wish to be informed how he is likely
to be cooked. 1t Is q comfort to know
that the savages who may devour him
are by no means devoid Of refinement
in culinary disposition. Some Of the
French soldiers were recently taken
prisoners by the KanakS and one OF
them was killed and eaten. His COM
rades describe the process. The IA
naks first decapitate their victim; n
matter Of no small difficulty consider
ing the bluntness Of their hatchetS.
Ten or fifteen blows are necessary. The
body is then hung up to a tree by the
feet, and the blood allowed to run out
for an hour. Meanwhile n hole a yard
and q half deep and a yard wide Is dug
in the ground. The hole is lined
with stones, and in the midst Of them
a great fire Is lit. When the wood Is
burned down 4 little and CLOVIS with
heat 1t is covered with more stones.
The man Is then cleaned out and di-
vided into pieces about q foot long, the
hands and feet being thrown away as
worthless. The pieces Of the man are
placed on the leaves of a large rose
tree peculiar to the tropics. The meat
is surrounded with cocoanut, banana,
and some other plants noted for their
delicious flavor, The whole is tied
together firmly; the fire is then re-
moved from the pit, the meat is then
placed among the hot stones, and thus,
carefully covered, is left to cook for
an hour. Women don't partake of the
warriors feast. Men alone are per-
mitted to enjoy so great an honor and
so rare a delicacy.

CouRT.-To-day will be filed In the
Fourth District Court the complaint of
Ann Lisa Brannan against Sam Bran
nan, praying that she be released from
the obligations imposed upon her by
her marriage VOWS. The grounds for
divorce, as stated In the complaint, are
cruelty, adultery, and habitlal drunk
enness. Petitioner also prays that one
half the common property be awarded
her, and that she be allowed to resume
her maiden name. Mr.. Bnnnan is
rcputed to be worth over q million of
dollars, but there are wiseacres who
assert that the Calistoga project and
other remarkable investments have re-
suited 70 disastrously that the estate is
now very considerably involved. The
fact that MI. Brannan has maintained
an establishment separate from his
family is we'll known, but the particu-
lars Of the alleged cruelty are not so
generally matters Of comment. Frank
