The Surrender Of the Virginius Pris-
OherS.

NEW YORK, December y.
The New York Tri5une's Key West tel
egram gives an account of the surrender
of the Virginius prisoners to Lieut.. Com
Braine, of the Juniata. 1t appears that
the authorities to the last moment kept
the poor wretches in ignorance of their
prospective release, and with base inhu-
manity led them to suppose that they
were to be executed. Priests were with
them, taking their confessions and dying
declarations, and imploring them to look
to God for pardon. They were taken out
of prison in despair, but on their way to
the slaughter-pen, as they supposed, their
eyes fell upon the Juniata, flying the flag
of the United States. When they realized
the truth a scene occurred which beggars
description. Their enthusiasm knew no
bounds. They were speedily transferred
to the deck of the Juniata, and gave vent
to the most extravagant but touching de.
monstrations of joy, embracing each
other, some crying. some kissing
and Others offering thanks to the Almighty
| for their deliverance from the horrors
| of their dungeon and the prospect. of ar
| ignominious death. On the night before
| the surrender, the officers and crew of the
| Junlata were stationed at their quarters
| her guns being turned on the city The
| Spanish volunteers having been excited
to an open riot by the rumor that the sur
render was to take place, large number
of them went in body to the Governors
palace and begged permission to attempi
the capture of the Juniata, saying thst
they could do it with knives alone. Tie
Governor refused to grant permission.
Our officers believe that the application
was made in earnest, and not a few roget
| that it was not favorably entertained, as
the Juniata alone, not to speak of he

OYSTERS are in perfection when from
five to seven years old. An oysterman
can tell the age of bivalve by counting
the successive layers or plates overlap
ping each other, each of which is termed
a shoot, and indicates years growth.
Judging from the size and thickness
which some shells attain, an oyster may
be capable Of arriving at the respectable
age Of three-score and not be the Methu-
saleh of his tribe then.

Eight hours should be days work on
a dog-churn, the dog to be allowed one
day in the week to himself Let every dog
have his day.
Life preservers for Newfoundland dogs,
to guard against sudden cramps.
A fine for imposing bogus watches on
watch dogs. The watch dogs honest
bark has often been raised against the
swindle.
Protection of ants from their nephews
and nieces.
Cushioned toad-stools would be highly
appreciated by toads after chop"
Punish boys who frighten the frogs
and make them jump. Sudden shocks
are sometimes fatal to nervous organi-
cation.
Encourage trout to write poetry. We
have seen some very beautiful trout lines
ere now.
Rostrums in the ocean for whales to
"spout from" This is want long felt
and the whales pout about it.
Abolish mosquito bars. They make
mosquitoes irregular at their meals.
Introduce the German language into
our schools of fish.
Pocket handkerchiefs for crocodi1es to
wipe away their tears on.
A school in accounts for adders, who
also multiply rapidly.
Encourage the cultivation of plum
trees for the comfort of that fastidious
epicure, the curculio, who can feed upon
nothing else.
