Pete Seoep aged NS Le epee ee ROE ony, he any Transcript. FRIDAY, APRIL 7, 187f. Commencing. The Spring travel towards this coast has already commenced. The number of passengers coming daily by railroad is already Jarge, and us the weather becories more’ pleasant the tumbers will increase. Among tlié arrivals are maay immigrants. These come for the purpose of bettering their condition in life, and are willing to enter upon any work. which promises a fair remuneration, Among them are mechanics and laborers, all eager to obtain employment. All who do so will add toj the préduction of the State, and in this mach be a benefit. There is another class of travelers westward bound who will benefit the ‘State. Among those are many who occupy prominent places ia the National councils, merchants from the great marts of the East, aiid: eapitalists who come to look.after the chances of in— vestment. The mere pleasure seekers also come, to see the wonders of California. All these classes of visitors benefit the State, more or less. Becoming familiar with its resources,ite char— acterand ite needs, they go back to their homes satisfied ‘as to the ‘extent knowledge, of the State becomes the cemmon stock of those with whom they ate brodght in contract, and the advantages for business on this coast are better understood, just in proportion: as the returned visiter possesses: advantas ges for making known the results of his investigation. -_ Californians sheuld—be—especially pleased to lvarn that Grant, Speaker Blaine and. other leading men of the country propose. visiting this coast.— Matters.of legislation, involving great interests. to this. State, although they inay be looked upon as of little moment .in other quarters, are continually coming up, and would bé worth a great deal to the inhabitants of this coast to have men in Congress and in the Cabinet who, from personal obser~ vation and the interchange of opinions with the people, have become familiar with the interests of the State. The opening of. the Spring travel on the Overland Rajlroad, indicates that the number of passengers coming to this State will be far in excess of any season yet. Many of those who come, expecting large wages and light work, will of course be disappointed, but for the small, capitalist and the earnest, willing worker, California offers as favorable opportunities as any country in the world. No man whe is willing and able te work need want for em. ployment in this State, and that too at far better wages than he can get in the East or Europe. RAILROAD ACCIDENT;—We learn from putties who arrived from California oo Tuesday, says the Virginia City Enterprise, that the passenger train from thé west met with an accident which, very fortunately did not prove serious. When the train was about one mile from Truckee, and belore the engineer could whistle down the brakes, the engine struck a large boulder that had rolled down from the mountain side, The engine was badly damaged and the tender thrown from the track. Although the accident appears to baye been extensive, nobody was hurt, and the passengers in the sleeping car were not even aroused from their slamber.— The train was detajned for some, not arriving in Reno until 5 o’clock yesterday morning, THE accounts of the freight traffic through Omaha, Eastward, recalls the most imaginative descriptions of the wealth of the Orient. One day forty cars loaded with tea and silk passed through ; the next 4,900 pounds of silver bullion age received, followed by ten car loads of silver ore for shipment to Wales, two silver bricks worth $},leather, to be manufactured ip Boston, . ExTRAORDINARY Cask or HypRroPHOBIA.—A physi gives the following pafticulars of an extraordifiary, cage ofbydrophobia, whieh occu in that place. -About four yeats ago two mea had a fight in }a saloon. They were both powerful . men, and. they had along and bloody tussle with each other, While fighting, one of the men had a finger badly bitten by the other. The finger became inflamed, and the inflammation extended to the whole arm, and for some months it was expected the man would die, but he recovered and the wound healed up; but as goon as the wound had healed he began to show signs of insanity or madness. He fancied,when sleeping, that the man who had. bit him was always attacking him, and he would wake up in a great rage, striking in every direction at his antagonist, and so he would remain for some time, betore the delusion passed off.— Shortly aftee this he began to see the man’s shadow in the water, and in all other fluids mixed with water, but -it would not be visible in a looking glass. Other symptems increased the first twe--years, and were only exhibited once a month at-fnll moon. At the close of the third. year, at every full moon, he funcied the moon was close by, and that between him and the moon stood his old antagonist in a threatening attitude. He would rave ‘and be’ farious for abeat twenty-four hours, and then the spasm. would pass’ “and Fichpeas Of the Pacific coast. The . away ; but in the meantime he would not attack any other person. The novelty of the case puzzled all the physicians in that city, and in that part of the State, but it terminated at the last full moon. Just as the moon was risjug he happened’ to be at one of the . docks on the Maumee. river, and fancied the moon and _ his rival were preparing for a fight. He sprang to mect him, jumped into the water and was ‘drowned before assistance could reach him. The name of the man thus.afflicted was Patrick Clair, an old resi< dent-of Toledo, and at one time an ac: tive business man. The man who pit him was @ stranger, whom nobody knew, and was never seen afterwards. ATTEMPT To EXeERCI8E Woman troit, Mich., Post of Murch 7th, says : This, like many other villages that make any pretentions to being fast, has its sorosis, on the roll of membership of which are to be found the names of all the strong minded women, so called. Their worthy President, Laving read Mrs, Woodhull’s memorial and attended'the Lansing Convention, came to the conclasiga that their natural enemy, man, had unwarily left open a gap through which they could pass to the ballot, and so to office. A meeting was called, and twenty-one aggrieved and suffering ladies made a descent en masse upon the office of registration, They found three frail and detenceless men constituting the board, and, by arts unpublished, got their names reg~ istered high on the roll of fame. This was on Saturday. Monday was cor poration election. The day came and with it, men, boys and-dogs, trom vils lage and meres to witness the novel scene, At 11-30 they mustered in regular military style, a Deputy U.S, Marshal at the head. They marched down our principal street, followed by a rabble of grinning boys. _ Arriving at the polls they were greeted by the sneers and comments of a hundred or two ot expectant men, who fell back in goad erder, allowing them to surround the polis, the crowd then closing in, shut~ ting ap every avenue of retreat. ‘They tendered their ballots, but our veners~ able President refused to take them. They insisted and he protested. Meantime the crowd became restless and pressed forward that they might hear, making it rather uncomiortable fer the ladies, At this staye of the proceedings a lawyer asked that be might be heard tor bis or their cause. He talked of humanity, justice, and law, but to no purpese. The would not violate their oaths to support the Constitution of this State. ‘The game was up, and now Jor the retreat: bowing their way through the crowd come the crestfullea ladies, eXpressing «disgust with politics, men, and ever themselves, and it’s-a noted fact that nota lady can be found in the Villiage that is willing to admit that she ever atx tended an election. In Connecticut the Republicans, ac~ cording to lawst news, have three Congressmen, both branches of the Legis— latare, and the election of Governor is 8o0 T n, of Toledo, Qhio, . SUFFRAGE—FUNNY SCENES.—T he De. . ” ‘ia doubt, the majority being from . . yo, Sr., a gentleman aged ap of sixty years, and well known throfghout leading citizens; came y Sear ‘losing his life last Sunday by a jac “belonging to Edmund Wolf. — Mr. and, not finding him at home, started across-a field after him. On the way ovet he stopped ata pair of bars to look at a jack, which was grazing in an adjoining field. The animal had casion he exhibited his treacherous disposition by jumping over the bars, knocking Mr. Brown down in his leap, seizing him by the chin and throat with bis teeth, tearing out a portion of the flesh, nearly baring the windpipe, at: the same time: failing upon and stamping his breast with his knees. Mr, Brown kept his presence of mind, eaught the animal by the nostrils and choked him off, but he renewed the attack immediately, biting and mangiing. the lower portion of the left arm and hand ina terrible manner, Mr. B. choking him off as at first, and the jack renewing the attack. But he was now bleeding freely, the left arm was ‘powerless, and he was fast Josing bis power of defense. ‘Fle unequal contest could have lasted but a minute or two longer, when ‘luckily Mr. Frank Dowd, who was passing, heard his criés “anid rai to his assistance. and beat the jack off with a rail which he took from the fence. After getiing the jack off him, Mr. Brown waked a few steps to the fence, where his strength failed him, and an express wus procured which conveyed him:te his home, where he now. lies ia a very precarious condition. — He rests aswell us could be expected, complains of feeling sore inwardly, but Drs. Wolf and Rannels think that there are no internal injuries, and. while they do not consider that he is out of danger, they think that he will survive his in juries, with the probability of the loss of the use of his lett hand. “The jack is of pure Spanish blood, and has always been a pet, his mother dying when he was but a few days old. He has always been regarded as: the most docile, and at the same time the most cowardly animal on the place, which makes his owners entirely unable to explain ‘his vicious disposition a8 shown in this attack; unless he has been plagued and annoyed by the -goodstor=nuthing boys who run over the hils.on, Sundays, tearing down fences, tormenting people’s stock, and practicing every uther species of mischief. Skating. California has\gone off on rollers. From Siskiyou to San Diego skating rinks have been started and the people roll morning, noon and night. The rain will keep people from Church but not from the skating rink. The old and young, male and female, indulge in the healthful pastime, and all seem to enjoy the sport, Nevada is affected by a recent.and severe attack of the skating fever. Everybody skates, except the cripples, and they go to see their more: favored friends. fall. We have two rinks, both well patronized, and a third is being built. There are now no less than seven rinks in operas tion or contemplation in the county. Oare Candidates, The Grass Valley Union of yesterday gives the names of more candidates for county offices: Ameng them we notice the following not already men= tioned by ue: For Road Commissioner on the Republican ticket, Bob Scott is mentioned, On the Democratic side William Henry Mitchell, of the Wiex consin ‘Hotel, is spoken of for County Treasurer. John C. Coleman, Sam Granger, Peter Johnson, A, B. Brady and Martin Ford are spoken of as candidates for Assembly, Danger. Yesterday morning the weather was quite cold and the signs were tavorable to clear weather, though the rain continued. The rain has been a blessing to the minera and farmers, but should it be followed by « frost the peach crop would be “nipped in. the bud,” Last year the peaches were nearly all killed in this locality by frost and the chances apefavorable for short crops A CIRCULAR from . the Commissioner of Internal Revenue makes an impor= tant change in the regulations for asMAN Neary EATEN ALIVE BY JacKass.—The McArthur, * Beso ‘of Marc says; Chafes v ithis section of the State as one of very outiedaing cit very fear Let Brown had called at Mr. Wolf’s house;~ Drawine Day 1x H bell struck the signal forthe drawing com “4 e man and child ig the o was the owberef a

We were not long in discovering the lucky one, a poor son. of Africa, whose attire proved him tobe one of that abused class of stevedores. He ‘dashed from the assembinge shouting, and frantically giving thanks in bis peculiar dialect, to his God, for deliverance from Spanish slavery. I will say, that.I utters wards met him in Port'au Prince, and he was the owner of quite a large coffee ‘establishment. ‘fhe drawing sped on, ‘ewery now and then some peg shepting. in triumph as they foand themselves ‘called oa by Dame Fortune. But never have I seen bocli, #xcitemehtias when the largest prizes followed cach other in ssjon, Jrom .the wheel. The ‘jacky ‘nunmibers for the $30,000 prize were 5, 2,14; for the $100,000 prize, 2, §,10. These tickets hac eviduntiy been sold in fractions, several parties press ‘ent helding -teaths: and: twentieths.— \Many were the complaints of those who had ventured and lost, or having ventured and won, cursed their luck for not doing so boldly, by buying the ‘whole of thechucky. ticket, in place of. a fraction. : a “Only to think;”-said Jack, with a lugubrious expression: of countenance, “Fcame within two numbers of the largest prize,” titkét, No. 5, 2; 12. “So you did,” spoke atall man with . @ treacherous face, who had been looking:over Jack’a shoulder, “As:it is> of no use to you, Jet me have it to show seme friends what cruel tricks fortune, the jade! sometimes plays us.” “You can hive it,” answered Jack, and was about to hand it to him, when I yi ame his hand, saying— “Keep it. Jack; ifit is of any use to him it is to you.” : The man scowled, and said it was none of my business; but if Jack was willing,to-take a doubloon fer it, he would give it. Why I did sol cannot say, but I urged Jack to refuse the offer, which he did. ; fy “fhe drawing was over, and the immense ape, had dispersed—some to their hemes, but by far the larger pertion to the clubs and cates, the lucky ones to receive the congratula~ tions of their friends, the others to talk over the events of the day, and look forward to the next drawing, which would take place in seventeen days, FRENCH AFFAIRS»—The Thiers Government at-last accounts had defeated and overthrown the insurgents at every point. On both sides’ prisoneré taken have been shot, and a reign of terror has existed, If the, Thiers’ Government should putdown the insurgents and show a determination to: rule, Frapce will, in all probability, soon have. a government.
