Dears or Luraer Lamp.—The Marysville Hzpress comes to us in mourning for the death of
one of its proprietors, Mr. Luther Laird. The
Express says :
With feelings of the test profound sorrow,
We are called upon to snnotince the death of
our associate, cottpanion and friend, Luther
seventeen minof . Laird. He died yesterday, at
utes past twelve B M. after a lingering, and
for some time past, painful illness, His
was consumption, and by the most eminent
physicians pronounced to have been of long
standing, and we may, perhaps, as well wy here
that no pains which the kindest offices of friendship could bestow, no remedy which money
could purchase, or the most devoted love offer,
were withheld, or ery furnished, to kee
him among us; but his days had been numbe!
—the fell destroyer claimed his victim, anda
disconsolate widow and a large circle of devoted
ig Be left to mourn,
Mr. rd was born in Kentucky, on the 18th
of January, 1824-his age, therefore, was 33
age 5 months and 10 days. At an early age,
is parents removed to Memphis, Tennesee,
where most of his life was spent until he emigrated to California, which accurred in 1853.
He came immediately to Marysville, with his
family, and in afew weeks entered the office of
the Express newspaper, where he has since remained, and since the 22d of June 1854, been
the senior partner,
In his early death, a devoted wife is widowed
a fatoer, now residing in Mississippi, left without ason, and a sister, in Texas, withouta
brother. In speaking ofhis friends, we have to
include a whole community, for ng man was
ever more uffiversally respected,
A Srrangp Story—A Lost Crew Founn.—
The North British Mail, ynder the head of Greenock, has the following, for the authenticity of .
which, however, it does not vouch.
Bleyen years ago, a good ship sailed from
. Clyde on a voygo to the West Indies; but she
shared the fate of many a well manned and well
equipped craft. Up to within the last few days
nothing had transpired regarding that gallant
vessel, and long ago the mourners of her devoted crew might be seen going about our streets.
More than a dozen had become widows by
that misterious, and yet by no means uncommon
voyage, which knew of no returning, and seven
of these were said at one time to be located in
or near this district. But sorroy ean never
revive the dead, or if it could, hope would prevent our tears; and so the faithful widows,
having exhaurted the fountains of their griefs,
looked around them for other husbands. And
who will dare impugn their resolve? One is
said to oecupy the same house in East Quay
lane she occupied when her dear sailor left her
to go on his fatal voyage, and to be now the
mother of a family of children by another husband. Another has followed her example in
Port Glasgow. Indeed, no less than six of the
widows are said to have become wives again,
and look back upon their early attachments,
and the sad yoyage which followed it, as a little dark episode in their lives, which gradually
grows dimmer as yearsroll overit. But the
story goes, thata few days ago information
reached the owners of the long-lost vessel, to .
. the effect that, having been cast away on the .
African or Morocco coast, the whole crew fell .
into the hands ofa tribe of Moors, who have
long held them in captivity; but that they man.
. aged to regain their freedom, and if not already
in Britain, are on their way hither. It is further said, out of seven supposed widows—widowed by the hypocritical disaster—only one
now remains a single woman, and she is the
wife of the long-lost, though now found, captain of the long-lost ship.
Power Press Printixg in Say Fraxcisco.-.
. The pyblic wil} be somewhat surprised to learn
that there is in this city one of the largest steam
rinting establishments in the United States— .
. In fact the largest, if we exeept some few in the
city of New York, The reason is that all newspaper owners now find it cheaper to let out the
printing of their papers than to do it themselves,
for the cost of an ee power press is great,
and the expense of keeping it merely to print
one paper is nearly as much as if it were kept
running all the time. Hence most of the prorictors, while they compose their own types,
et out the printing of their papers. The establishment to which we allude is that of Messrs.
Blake & Moffit on Merchant street, just west of
Washington Market. They have three of Hoe’s
improved double-cylinder Napier presses, one
layge Adam’s power press for book work, one
large Napier press of Taylor’s patent, and have
another large press ready to put up when they
can find room for it. The number of papers
. printed altogether, daily, about equals that of
the New York Herald. Their capacity for print.
ing, however, is enormous, being able to priut
350,000 impressions, being more than twice the
circulation of all the papers in this State. One
press alone throws off 6000 sheets per hour Two
men are constantly employed carrying forms
from the different offices to the press room, The
amount of paper and ink consumed is very large
and the expense of running the presses, without
the cost of the paper, (which is furnished by
each office,) is four hundred dollars per week.
These presses are run by an eight-horse power
engine, which also pumps daily, for the use of
the concern, some 800 gallons of water from an
artesian well. They at present work off some
eighteen different papers, which are printed in
English, French, German, Spanish, and Chinese,
and embrace nearly all the religious and political doctrines extant. Some sixty news carriers
center there daily, whence they diverge and
spread themselves through every street, alley,
place and by-path of the town til they are stopped by the bay on the cast and the coast rauge
on the west. For the information of the curious we would state that Mr. John Glennon, the
foreman of the establishment, appears to take
pleasure in showing to strangers the workings
of the printing machines.—S. F. Herald
Unrrep Srares Mint.—The Director of the .
United States Mint, at Philadelphia, has issued .
a circular giving notice of the regulations .
adopted for the exchange of foreign coin for .
new cent pieces. On and after the 25th of May,
the Spanish and Mexican “‘fips,”’ “levys’’ and .
“quarters,’’ or the old copper cents, will be .
received in exchange for the new cent pieces in
sums of five dollars at their nominal value.
The silver coin mentioned, if worn illegible,
or mutilated, will not be recieved for the cent
. pieces. but will be taken in exchange for United
States silver coin at the rate of $1.224 per ounce.
The expense of transportation of the coin from
the mint is paid by tue mint, and arrangements
have been made with Adams’ Express Company
for this purpese. The Express Company have
also made arrangements for conveying the coin
sent to the mint, and attending to the exchanging &., all of which is done at no other gost
than a moderate expense of freightage.
Tne Enorish Post Orrice.—The report of
the British Postmaster General has been published for 1856. The number of letters delivered in the United Kingdom during the year was
four hundred and seventy eight millions, uetee
an increase over 1855 of nearly twenty-two mililons; and as compared with 1839. the year
previous to the introduction of the weed &tage, an increase (omitting franks) of four
hundred and two millions, or more than six fold.

have been five interments in it, and all who are
buried there came to their death by violence.
The first was Joseph Heslep, who was killed in

Captain Lewig Thomas, who was stabbed in
Sonora, two weeks ago jast Saturday,
ANTICIPATED InprAN Trovsies.—By the arrlval of the schooner D. L. Clinch, we have latter
news from Umpqua. Apprehensions were entertained that there would be another Indian outbreak, as John, the principal chief of the Rogue
River tribe, duping the late war in Oregon, had
left the Grand Ronde Reserve at the head of
his warriors, with a view of returning to their
own country. The new military fort at Umpqua, which is directly in their route, had been
reduced by sickness and desertion to twentyfive men, and can therefore offer no effectual
resistance cither to the return of the Indians,
or to the destruction of the agency and post at
the place. Capt. Stewart is, on the alert, and if
speedily reinforced wilt prevent any serious
disaster,
ONE or THE Ovp Serrimrs.—We were shown

in the jaw were still sound. showing no symptoms of decay. One of the teeth measered 24
inches one way across, and 2} inches another.
The jaw-bone was found seme 40.feet below the
surface of the earth, in Tuolumne county, Although the teeth measured so much across, yet
their shortness from the jaw-bone in comparison
to their width had the appearance of belonging
to a young animal. They belonged to a proper
animal to feed on the big trees of Calaveras,

DrowneEp.—The Stoekton Argus says: A man
b the name of William Martin, fell into the
slough from the west side of FE! Dorado strect
bridge, at about ten o’clock on Saturday evening, and was drowned. Martin was aranghman,
lately employed at Fergueon’s, on the Calaveras, Jie came into the city on Saturday, and
became intoxigated, Jaid dewn near the edge of
the bridge. Some persons observing the danger to which he was exposed, attempted to
remove him to a more secure place, when he fell
headlong into the slough. Evety effort was

took fire and were entirely consiimed, The fire
occured about 5 o'clock in the afternoon while
Mr. Rothrock and his hands were at work in
the garden. ‘The manner in which the fire oecurred is a mystery, there having been no fire
in cither of the houses for the past two weeks,
Everything was consumed including all Mr.
Rothrock’s papers ete. The loss is estimated
to be at least $3,000.
Fie tn Youo.—A destructive fire swept over
a portion of Cottonwood Township, Yolo county
on last Weduesday. The principal portion of

DeaTeH or 4 MILLIONAIRE FROM INsaNrry.—
John F. A. Sanford, an eminent merchant of N,
Y., says the Tribune, died on the 16th ult., in the
51st year of his age. He commenced life asa
trapper on the Missouri, rese to a partnership
in the great St. Louis firm of Pierre Chouteau,
jr., & Co., and rapidly accumulated a fortune
amounting to not less than one million anda
half dollars. We have heard that he,in connection with Geo, Peabody Esq., the London
banker, made $660,000 on one year’s importations of British iron, mostly for railroads. But
the cares and anxieties of his immense business
proved too great for even his vigorous mind,
and Mr. Sanford was some months since _stricken down with insanity. He recovered his reason after’# ‘time, but not permanently; he was
again stricken and died under the affliction—
more deserving ef commisseration, in the midst
of his vast wealth, than many a beggar who
knows not where to lay bis head. The life of
this man, truly and fearlessly written, would
prove more instructive and salutary than many
ponderous volumes.
