Whisky, when imbibed by white
folks, is often q dangerous institution to
NEEDLE With, but when Indians get hold
OF it, then there is always old Nick to
pay. without the requisite quantity of
pitch being in heated condition. An
example was afforded yesterday evening
Of tie truth of this sage aphorism by a
couple of Indians, who procured some
whisky from some mean white man, and
after gobbiing their fire-water, they be-
came quarrelsome and had a row and
fight. In the fracas one of them received
severe cut on the head, over the left
eye. The blow was given with such
force that about two inches of the blade
of the knife was broten off and remained
in the wound. The companions of the
Indian brought him to the neighbor-
hood of the hospital, where DR.. Philson,
the County Physician, drew the piece of
the knife from the wound and plastered
it up. The Indian, who was much in
toxicated, was afterwards carried off by
his comrades.

At half-past one o'clock yesterday,
MONDAY Rock was blown up by means
of nitro-glycerine; so this formidable
obstruction to navigation need no longer
be feared. This rock is in the open sea,
about three nautical miles to the north
ward, and westward from the North Far
alone, and about thirty-three miles to
the soutward OF west from Fort Point.
Directly over the rock at mean low water
there were twenty one feet of water, al
though the water close around it, accord
ing to the authority of the Coast Survey,
is from 20 to 30 fathoms deep. The
general form of the rock was that of an
irregular dome with steep sides. :
Eight hundred pounds of nitro-glycerine
were used, being fired by electricity from
about six hundred feet distant. The
steamer was placed still further away,
about one half mile. When the ex-
plosion occurred. solid body of water
suddenly leaped into the air for six hun
bred feet the spray and debris going up
nearly one thousand feet. One piece of
the rock of about $50 tons went up for
about 500 feet, producing an effect like
a small earthquake when it struck the
surface of the water in its descent. The
effect OF the explosion was such as to
make the water within radius of a
quarter of a mile perfectly smooth for
some time, all disoolored with sea weed,
sponge and detritus. Several seals were
killed by the explosion, as were thou
sands of fish, boat load of which were
brought to the city.-IS. F. Call, 3.

| Miss Amelia, that's the youngest, has bad
health. She had been once just going to
make very good marriage to the cousin
of baronet! only she didn't. I don't
quite know how it was, but she told Char
liza all about it; and she was much tried,
and she was very kind and liked to have
the girl about her, and taught her singing
and she was very clever, and made poe
try and such beautiful wax fowers and
was very fond of Charlia,"
Bad poetry and wax flowers two of the
greatest of denominations in my eyes Al
together Miss Amelia did not sound to me
at all like an ideal instructor of youth.
"And Charlia had profited SO much
and her music, and her beadwork, and the
use of the globes, and the velvet painting y
why did you call her Charlia?" inter-
rupted /. little weary of this enumera
ton of accomplishments.
"We'd lost so many little ones, ana

sons were not all very relevant, but they
did quite as well as better ones.
And why heve not you had her back
