INTERESTING STATISTICS.
The Gold Prodnc.lcn Of California al

The Gold Production of California and
Australia.
The San Francisco Bulletin of February z
contained the following interesting and instruc-
tive statistics in relation to the history of Cali
fornia and australia
"The similarity of mining operations in the
Australian colonies to those In California, both
in respect to origin and progress. is remarkable.
Gold was discovered here in 1S4S, and there in
1851. From the 10th of June to the end of De-
cember, 1851, the quantity of gold obtained in
Victoria, the first six months after its discovery
was 243, Ala ounces. During 1852 the miners
secured 2,2lS7S3 ounces of gold, valued at
$44 375, $40; and in the year 1856 the quantity
obtained was 2 1856, 99l ounces, amounting to
$50, ,719, $50. This was the largest yield of any
one year in the history of the Victoria gold
fields. The decline in production commenced
the following year, 1857, and continued each
year till 1868, when there was an increase of
233, 81 ounces over that of 1867.
The result of mining operations in 1868 was
1857, 49S ounces, valued at $33, 49, 960. The
total quantity of gold received in Victoria from
1851 to 1S68-eighteen years-was 35, ,56S, ,450
ounces, valued at ell, $4,000.
'As it will be interesting to many of our
readers to know the total productions of gold
in the Australian colonies and the neighboring
colony of New Zealand, compared with Califor-
mia, we give the latest official and reliable re-

NariRll as leader He started out with them last
spring, and served them through the East aud Nest
IN August; but they did not pay him from June no
10 the end of the season, and therefore he sued TO

TROY, Feb. 16.-The Montreal express Tram,
which left New York at P. NJ, ran OIL the
track between that city and Albany to-night
about 10 P. NJ. A broken rail threw the trails
from the track, and after running about twenty
rods upon the ties, the rear coach swung against
the embankment on the right and became de-
tached. Meantime the tender had become un-
coupled from the baggage-ear, and that Car and
the palace-car tumbled down into the ravine.
The palace-car Immediately took iire from the
gas ollne on board, and both cars were burned
up. The passengers, however, escaped through
the windows. Alfred Hillyard, of Pennsylvania.
upon returning into the car for his baggage, was
severely burned about the head and neck, but
not fatally. Others were burned, but not seri-
ously. The mails and baggage were all saved.

FIRE IN TROY.
Loss About $4,000.

Fires the present season have become
epidemic, and there is scarcely town or
neig ghborhood that has not had its sensa,
ton. We were congratulatiug ourselves
that the dry season had passed without
any Of our many wooden buildings having
heen burned. and fancied that the town
would probably escape altogether; but
this congratulation was scarcely expressed
Gro the alarm of fire was given. Wed
nesday morning list inst.) about half
past two o'clock the store building Of
Mr.. Joseph Hart, on the northeast corner
of Main and Wood streets, was discov
cred to be on fire, and the fact that there
was.no fire in the store, and the flames had
the appearance Of frst breaking out in
the weatherboarding near some pine
goods. boxes on the street, strong suspi-
cions of it being the work Of an incen-
diary are entertained. About half the
goods in tho store we're saved, but the
flames spread SO rapidly that in few
minutes the whole building, including
Mr.. Hart's dwelling, which connected
with the store rooms, was ablaze. The
citizens of the town gathered promptly
on the grounds, buckets and water we're
brought into requisition, and by this
means several buildings near by were
saved. A steady rain during Tuesday
also had beneficial effect in checking
the spreading flames. Mr.. Hart's loss is
estimated at about $4,000, with an insur.
auce Of 81, 900.
A call for tho hooks and ladders, for
which money was contributed few years
since, was made, but they we're nowhere
to be found. As is usually the case
these safe, guards are always absent when
needed the most. We presume they will
now be hunted up and especial care taken
Of them until the present excitement diet
out, when neglect will take the place o
watchfulness, and at the next FIRE tha,
may occur they will again be called 70,
in vain. Would it not be we'll for oul
town trustees to appoint place for thei'
keeping, and not allow them to be taker
away by any one save in case Of fire2
