The intelligence is derived from a letter received by Wells, . Fargo & Co's agent on the Stockton route: I have just arrived from Mariposa, aod -. can give you a few items relative to the effects of the flood in Tulare county, A man arrived at Princetown on Tuessay; I did . not see bim, but Holmes of the Mariposa . Gazette says he is a ‘reliable arrival,” who reports the loss of 26 brick houses at Visa. lia, includiog the Court House and Jail.

Long Tom,” the driver for Hice & Wil'son, arrived at Hornitos on Sunday. He . left Millerton on the previous Thursday, . crossing rivers and monstrous creeks in sluice boxes and wagou beds, and walking about forty miles, packing the mail the . whole distance to Hornitos. He states that the water wae eight feet deep in the streets at Millerton, . Wm, Hice lost his house and stable— . damage about $1,000. . Mr. Grierson’s stone house was also ta. ken away, loss about the same, The gouds . in the house of Mr. Hughes were also dam /aged to the amount of about $1,500.

We lost our identity. We deemed ourself the rosy essence of a dream, wafted through space on zepbyr pinions over a sea . of ravisbing music, sweet as the kiss of love . . and golden as the vision of childhood. At) that blissful moment a package of firecrackers was by accident ignited beside the . couch from which we bad been Jifted to the . . realms of perfect ecstacy. The sudden . . mingling of the tumult of exploding crack. ers with our muzical wanderings through elysiam, was dreadful; indescribable, A . brief struggle—a falling, a night-mare sen . sation—and we were again an inhabitant of . . the earth. The first object we discovered . was Chee Yup attemptiig to destroy the . exploding crackers, Half oblivious, we . arose in the face of the almost tearful pro. testations of the Celestial aud drawing on . our patent leathers, groped our way dream. ily into the street, An hour elapsed before the singular sensation wore off, during . which time we walked incessantly, appa. rently entranced and impelled by an invis ible agency to which wefyielded without re. sistauce or misgiving. Thus ended our . opium smoking. We shall next, and live the thousand years that Bayard Taylor made an enraptured pilgrimage . through in twenty . minontes, .

Amusine CancuLaTion oF Caances.—It is easy to show you, reader, that five hundred years ago the chances were ten thousand to one that you and ] would never exist, If we look at the chances as exbibited in only two or three generations, we sball be astonisbed and horrified at seeing bow narrowly we have missed having no being. For. instance, my grandfather was a soldicrin the Revolatiouary Army for six yeare, and) ree peatedly exposed to death. On one oceasion, When his company engaged by platoons, be was the only survivor of two different attacks. Now, if be bad fallen in any of those attacks, he would not bave married; my father would not have been born, and cousequently I myself would have had no being. Again, my father paid his addrasses to a certain young lady, and was engaged to ber, Just before the time appointed for the marriage, a wisunderstanding arose between them—all ties were dismissed, and my father married another woman—the same women who has sinee done me the honor of being my mother. Now, if my father bad married the first mentioned lady, I never should have been boro, as her children never could bave possibly been my mother’s children, aod my mother might not have had any children at all. You see therefore, thata mere lover’s quarrel may change the whole line of . family for thousands of years, In ract, if . Mice Smith iscourted by both Jones and . Jenkins, it is for Miss Smith to decide (as she certainly bas the power of doing,) whetber she will be the aucestress of ten thousand Jones’ or ten thousand Jenkins’ — for on her choice depends the very existeuce or nun existence of these possible deecendants. ‘T'be whole subject is so full of fatalism that the only thing we can do, after once getting into existence, is to “Allab is Allah !—What is to be will be.’’—[Elkton’s Autobies ography, shout with the Arabs: Disserse . aT Santa Banwans.—Friday night, the 17th inst., a terrific avalanche occurred at Curtis’ Sulphur Springs, four miles behind Santa Barbara, in the mouutains, Three persons, who were sleepiog in a tent near the spring, were awakened by the fahing of come trees, and in their fright made desperate attempts to escape. They burst through the canvas, the first man juwping into the flood, breast deep. The second and third followed suit, bat were carried over @ quarter of @ wile by the flood. Heury Miller, one of the latter, was found dead a few days after, rocks over a ton weight baving passed over bim, fracturing bie skull and maoglivg bis body tetribly, When found, a rock of enormous size was resting on one of his legs, and before the body could be removed amputation was pecessituted, Crawford, one of . the three; was picked up terribly bruised and maimed, but will recover, The thrid man, Mac by name, escaped unburt, The flood was so heavy that it was Sunday before the neighbors could reaeb the scene of . disaster. Acres and acres of land, rock and timber were carried of by the food, opening an entirely new braneb of the mineral springs. The whole surrounding country suffered terribly from the floode— . Alta. A Bir or ScanpaL.—We learn that the proprietor of a certain hotel in Gold Till, the other night, found a member of the bar where he should not bave beeo—or otherwise, in the chambermaid’s room. He or. dered them both out of the bouse, although it was etorming severely at the time, The girl protested ber innocence, the lawyer swore to it, and all the boarders in the house said it was a shame to turn her away for so trifling a cause. But tbe landlord’s notions of decency and propriety were not easily to be overcome, and he dismissed the . maid. lawyer, and all the boarders who ob-’ . jected to his proceedings.—[{Territorial Eaterprise. .

Now, if my father bad married the first mentioned lady, I never should have been boro, as her children never could bave possibly been my mother’s children, aod my mother might not have had any children at all.
