Curious Discovery.

A farmer, while going around his
narrow domain, which lies by the north
shore of the Carquinez straits, the 9TH
er day, repairing his fence, made Gu
rious discovery, which has considerable
interest surrounding it. He was in the
corner of large field engaged in MAX
ing a pen for some hogs, and while
driving a post he remarked to friend
that after it had been driven certain
depth it went down remarkably easy.
This little incident excited their curios-
ity, and they Immediately commenced
digging with a spade and pick to learn
what was the matter. After digging
down about two and half feet they
gradually opened into large hole in
the ground, and after digging little
more they were able to get down into
the hole, which was about three and a
half feet high. They found it was the
mouth of widening tunnel, the sides
of which appeared much worn, as if by
excessive use. They were unable to
enter this subterranean passage far,
owing to the darkness, but subsequent
exploration shows that it is at least
twenty feet long, and decidedly laybrin-

find in it any Of the riches Aladdin
found in his underground passage way,
but they did find some gaudily painted
feathers and the handle of an Indian
Ratchet. Some of the early settlers re-
peated an old legend, which may be Of
interest here. It seems that many
years ago an old and powerful Indian
chief had a falling out with his tribe,
and then ensued an endless war be-
tween them. When he was holly pur-
sued he would betake himself to the
hill back of South Vallejo, and his enc
mics were unable to trace him further
Some said he swan the straits, while
others contended that he was hid by the
Great Spirit. This cave probably has
something to do with it. Vallejo Aade-

Why Birds are Scarce in Switzerland.

Sparrows and other small birds are
caught for food hereabouts, and they
are served at our table in what they call
polenta, pudding of Indian meal. The
pudding is very good, and has a pleas
ant flavor of Yankee cookery, but the
poor little birds are wanton sacrifice
of life, for the flesh of a dozen would
hardly suffice for moderate mouthful.
A traveller told me that while walking
over country estate he observed many
small traps, and on enquiring of the
head keeper learned that they were for
catching little birds and that there were
81, 900 of them on the estate, all Of
which were examined twice day and
the catch sent to market. In some
places large nets are used to capture
these innocents, and the dead birds find
ready sale. After learning these things
one does not wonder that birds are so
seldom seen on the wing, and is also
convinced that the birds that remain
alive and come into such a country are
creatures possessing avery blind instinct
and no vestige of reasoning power.

Gold Fish Fer Irondequoit Bay-A Fish
.... -.... Show. s.. .. g.

Mr.. Seth Green, the celebrated fish
man, brought from New Hamburg to
this city, between 400 and 500 of
the largest gold fish we have ever seen.
They were brought in cans, and were
this morning emptied into large tank
in basement on Front street It is
Mr.. Green's intention to try the expert
ment of stocking the waters of Ironde-
QUOT Bay with them, as they live on
the commonest kind of food, and are as
good eating as the kinds Of fish.
p Next week there will be an exhibition
of fish in the new Odd Fellows Hail.
There will be twenty-four aouariums
and globes, and in them will be exhibited
all the better known varieties of fish,
as well as those which people generally
do not know much about. All the va
rious kinds of water insects, on which
the fish live, will also be exhibited.
The exhibition will be superintended
by Mr.. Green himself, who will explain
to the visitors the habits, haunts, &C.,
of the various kinds of fishes, and will
also show how eggs are taken from the
fish for breeding. -Rocheste' Union. S

Remnants of the First Empire.

The old soldiers of the First Empire
held their annual banquet in Paris on
March Goth, at the establishment Cate
lain, in the Palais Royal, M. Belmontet
in the chair. The traditional loaf Of
army bread was on the table, adorned
with wreath-this time entirely bud
less-of the celebrated chestnut trees
of the 21O Mars. The assemblage was
not numerous, as the final retreat
sounds more loudly every day for those
ancient warriors. Of the three thous-
and who were alive in 1852 scarcely a
hundred remain. Toasts were drank
to the memory of the great Emperor, to
the army of Austerlitz, to Marshal de
MacMaRon, and to the resurrection of
the glory of the country. The guests
then separated with the usual farewell
saying of "To our next meeting.

Mary's Little Lamb.

they may be republished. We have

an average of half-a-dozen communica-

found in all the school readers. The
latest request of this kind comes from
an Oakland subscriber, who wants us
to print 'tthe beautiful little pastoral
about Mary's Little Lamb" Not hav-
ing the original at hand, we are forced
to quote from memory:
Mary possessed a diminutive sheep
Whose external covering was as devoid of color
as the CONCEALED acqueous fluid which oc-
casonally presents insurmountable barriers
to railroad travel on the Sierras,
And everywhere that Mary peregrinated
The juvenile Southdown was certain to get up
and get right after her.
1t tagged her to the alphabet-dispensary one
day,
Which was in contravention of established
usages; ,
It caused the other youthful students to each

To perceive an adelescent mutton in an edifce
devoted to the dissemination of knowledge.
And SO the preceptor elected him from the in
terror; -ar ..8
But he continued to roam in the Immediate

And remained in the neighborhood until Mary
| Once more became visible.

"What causes the juvenile sheep to banker af-
ter Mary so?"
Queried the inquisitiye children of their tutor,
"Why Mary bestows much affection upon the
little animal to which the wind is tempered
when shorn, you must be aware
