TuE . FossIL SHp THE Oakland Transcript
solves, to its own satisfaction, the mystery of
the " fossil ship of the desert about which our
contemporaries in the southern part of the State
have had good deal to say recently Several
parties have recently gone in quest of the mys-
terous vessel but have met with Indifferent
success. Many suppose it to be one of the yes
sells composing Cortez expedition, over three
centuries ago, stranded in this desert when the
sea swept over its present locality. But gen
tleman of Oakland believes it to be q small
vessel, schooner, which was built by Martin
Wise, ship builder of San Francisco, some six
years ago, for the United States Government,
and taken by steamer to San Pedro, whence it
was conveyed by teams over the wagon road
leading to Fort Yuma on the Colorado river. lie
thinks the teams transporting this vessel lost the
road, and became fast in one of the quicksand
stretches that abound in that region, and sug-
gess that any party discovering the fossil
ship, will find " four good stout wheels under
it, and perhaps the skeletons of three or four
yoke of California oxen. IS. f. call.

PErucoAT CLUB.-A lady who resides in
Jacksonville, indiana, writes that a Petticoat
Club is being organized in that city. The OBJ
ject of the club is to secure a hall and fit it up
as a resort for married ladies whose husbands
are in the habit Of staying out until two or three
o clock in the morning. Ladies who are so un-
fortunate as to have such husbands, are to be
put into bed and allowed TO sleep in peace until
such times as their husbands are in the habit of
returning home, when they are to be awakened,
furnished with REFRESHMENTS and then aecompa-
home by half dozen or more of the Petticoat
sisterhood. On their arrival home, the derelict
husband is to be 'gono for" in the most ap-
proved style of the late lamented Mrs. Caudlc,
aud this is to be kept up until the husband
ahandons his bad habits, runs away, or dies
The club promises to be immensely popular.

WOODEN RALwAYs.-A new system of noun
tain railway has lately been laid down in Hun
gary. The line requires no permanent way at
all. Square bearers Of oak, eight inches thick,
and fourteen broad are laid on the ground, and
only at rare intervals are cross-sleepers used.
On the two edges of the bearers are rails only
two inches broad, and so thin that they weigh
only one pound per foot. The trucks run on u
pair Of wheels eight inches in diameter. The
bodies Of the trucks are three times the width Of
the rails, and placed so low on the wheels that
they have just room to move. This system was
originally proposed by Englishman. The
cost is about one thousand dollars per mile.

WEsT.-HENRY WEST died at the residence
of his mother, in this city, on the Sth inst, of
typhoid fever; aged 81 years.
Henry West was born May 10th, 1s49. He
united with the NJ. E. church about four years
ago, and soon after found peace in believing.
Necessity had early taught him self-reliance,
and induced in him habits of active industry.
He had nearly completed the course of study
at the Normal School in this city Here, as
well as elsewhere, he commanded the respect
and won the esteem of his instructors and fell
low students. Happy and upright in life he is
blessed in death, and Joined to the multitude
of whom the Elder said: These are they
which came out of great tribulation, and have
washed their robes and made them white in
the blood of the Lamb; therefore are they
before the throne of God, and serve Him day
and night in His temple, and He that stitch
on the throne shall dwell among them. They
shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more,
neither shall the sun light on them nor any
heat. For the Lamb which is in the midst of
the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them
unto living fountains Of water, and God shall
wipe away all tears from their eyes,"

The crossings on Commercial and Sixth
avenue, in the vicinity Of this Office. have been
an eyesore ever since they were made. They
have not only failed in serving the purpose Of
their creation, but have been unsightly and
uncomfortable for any manner Of use. The
wonder is that they have not caused more
damage than they have, and they certainly
have done enough. Almost every day some
teamster or other drops portion OF his load
in crossing them, and that every alter.
nate wagon that Is heavily loaded does not
break down in crossing them is wonder. We
have looked TO these crossings to furnish US
with items, and wondered why we did not
have q chapter OF accidents caused by them to
record every week. Webegin to fear they will
be improved before they AFFORD us a first-class
local. Col. Robinson was thrown from his
buggy this week, and was severely but not
seriously hurt, caused by the inevitable jolt in
crossing them. But the street commissioner
has his eye on them, and 1t will not be long
until they are remodeled.
