The rancheria consisted of more than 100 warriors, out of which 29 were killed during the engagement The wounded, judging from the quantity ot blood that mark ed every rock and shrub in their line of escape, will probably exceed the number killed.

Russel, who, with a small force, engaged Cachise with about l50 well armed, wellodrillsd warriors, on Sunday, and was res pulsed This fight took place twelve miles from the Crossing of the San Pedro. The Captain had but eighteen men in the engagement, one ofWhom was killed and one wounded.

The SWedes in Maine.

In manners the Swedes who have set tied in Maine are said to be modest and but noticeably kind, obliging and courteous. To strangers they show the politest attentions, and tender them the warmest Inequalities. They are all so kindly considerate of each others hap piness and welfare, and train their child ren into strietest habits and morality, obedience and politeness. Their dress is at present a strange mixture of American and Swedish costumes. Those who re- tain the national dress wear wooden shoes, made long and low, painted black, and with high heels and pointed or turn ed up toes. The dress of the men does not otherwise differ from the various cosss tunes seen in our own country, save that they are of somewhat antiquated patterns. The costumes of the women and children are quaint and queer enough. The wo- men and girls all wear ,hankerchiefs made of the incest silk, folded with great care over their heads, and tied firmly but softly under their chin, looking very odd, to be sure, but at the same time both sen- sible, pretty and comfortable. A long narrow apron is also an indispensable to complete toilet. The dress itself has generally straight, full skirt, with one or two tucks, plaint short, round waist, and short, straig ht, sleeves. The little children look funny enough clad precisely like father and mother. The panted, vested and coat ed little boys, and the nice little maidens in long dresses, narrow aprons and ker- chiefs, demurely and soberly tied under the chin, present the appearance oi
 dwarfed editions of manhood and woman
 hood. Some of the ladies have dispens-
 ed with the kerchief, and supplanting
 their places are successfully attempted
 chignons, surmounted by flat straw hats.
 Quite number of silk dresses, few
 gold chains and some nice jewelry were
 also conspicuous. It is to be remember
 ed that these colonists are by no means
 poor, but brought with them deal of
 baggage and money.

Protection from POisOns.

At recent meeting of the Boston So- ciety of Medical Sciences, as reported in the Medical aud Surgical Journal, the question was discussed of the protection acquired by the human skin against the action of certain animal poisons, after repeated inoculation, one gentleman claiming that the frequent inoculation of some poisons gave gradual immunity from any poisonous effects. He in- stanced the effects of mosquito-bites, which he thought were more severe in children than in adults, much more severe in foreigners who had recently arrived in this country than in natives, and in support of this spoke of whole family, recently arrived from England, which he had just seen, upon the mem bers of which the bites of mosquitoes had produced Q violent eruption of the skin resembling pemphigus. He thought that the immunity derived from frequent inoculatiohs was analogous to that from vaccine matter against voriola. He said that he considered it as established that poisonous snakes were not killed by their own poisons insects, however, he said, did not enjoy this immunity, as wasps and bees were known to kill each other by their poison. He was support ed by another gentleman, who said that in regions where black flies abound, persons after few years are not affected by the poison. This immunity is not obtained in one season, but only after Q prolonged residence such persons are bitten as at first, but escape all the disagreeable effects from which 8 non- resident suffers.
