He determined to go to the house . and whip Bixley. “Upon reaching the place he began by tearing the gate from the hinges, and defacing the house. Bixley went out and remoostrated, but the drunken man only replied by drawing out a revolver and firing. The young man then ran back into the house, procured a revolver, and returning, ordered Pitz away, at the risk of his life, Upon again leveling his pistol Bixley fired several shots; both fired at the same. time and with deadly effect, The young man was struck in the neck, Pitz once in the breast and again in the abdomen, Both were found dead where they fell. Bixley appeared to have died soon and easily; but Pitz in great agony, as his hands were observed to be clenched fall of dirt, and large holes showed themselves where he had clawed up the ground in his dying struggies. Pitz wasa German and a man of family, but was known all over the neighborhood as a persou of most violent and intractable temper. Bixley was a young man of steady and regular babits, and of great promise. At the time that Pitz came up be was sitting at a table with a lighted candle, and spread before him were Macaulay’s History of England aod a large dictionary. He had evidently been engaged in storing his mind with useful knowledge when the dread messenger called him away. Sanp GoGa.ies.—There is some sand down in San Francisco, and occasionally there is a little wind there also, The action of the latter upon the former causes the atmosphere to be maddied, and the consequence is, that human optics in people who walk out there are in danger of being barricaded with sand bars to such an extent as to probibit daylight from entering the win. dows of the soul, In this condition of . with hydrophobia, and the remainin things, dust or sand goggles are placed over the eyes as protectors. The Alta, . epeaking of them, says: . They give a man’s face a comical, owlish appearance, but that ia of little consequence . in comparison to the comfort resulting from . theie use. Opticians should drive a thriving business in San Francisco. The delicate organs of sight are liable to be impaired by the fine sand constantly pelting into them, from about eleveo o'clock uatil sandown— that is during the busivess hours, when people have most need to be abroad, The annoyance is indicated by the pbysiognomies of thousands in our thoroughfares, whose countenances are all ‘scrooched up’ PRR So AE ENS WES Raising or tus Forr Suter Fracs.—The New York World of April 22a reports the following as one of the incidents of the monster Union meetings in that city ; The most exciting event of the d to the personal introduction of Mave do: derson to the assembled multitude from . each§etand, was the hoisting, on the bronze . equestrian statue of Washington, the flag that so long waved on the wail of Fort Sum. ter. It is impossible to describe the deafening burst of applause, wild and tumultuous waving bats and handkerchiefs, at the sight of its tattered folds, After this flag was raised, another of Fort Sumter’s flags was hoisted from the eppest branches of a tres rising op throagh the speaker’s desk upon . the first stand. The latter flag was the oov that the brave policeman, Hart, nailed to the ramparts amid a storm of iron hail, The same havd that periled life for it on the ramparts of Fort Sumter flung it to the breeze now in the gaze of the assembled hosts gathered in and around the square When we saw Major Anderson on the arm of John C, Hamilton, movingto the chief platform, opposite the statue of Washington, many associations passed through our mind —of these, one was both painful and exciting. A few years sinee, the Seventh Regiment followed to the tomb the youngest son of Hamilton, drowned at Richmond while paying honor to Virginia, in attending the obsequies of President Monroe = and . How we have another son of that ntleman . distinguished for bis llantry ia Mexico, at Monterey, and as aid to Gen. Scott twice . wounded—Oaptain Sehoyler Hamilton— marching as @ private in the same regiment ' . i to the defense from the assault by Virginia. <7 ieoetepenpeensinen seers Hyproruosia.—The Freneh have paid great attention to bydrophobia i investigations concerning it ee lately been published in the Annales’d Higyioe Publique, of two bundred and eighty casee; one bundred and eighty-eight were said to have been produced by the bite of a dog twenty-six by a wolf, thirteen by a cat, a d one by a fox, In two casesin which the . bite of the eat produced the disease, one , animal is reported to have bécome rabid in consequenee of an extensive burn ; another owiog toits having been robbed of its . young. These cases are regarded as of considerable interest, as they tend to throw light on the long doubtful question of the . spontaneous development of bydropbobia . in other species of animals than the canine. . Nearly two-thirds of the whole number of cases occurred in hot weather, and only aboat sixty persons out of one handred . that were bitten were subsequently seized . i fort . experienced no ill effects, Dr, Tardieu, the . Author of the official report on this subject . observes that the facts cannot be too strong. . ly insisted upon, that the only hopes ecurity from the fatal effects of thie droadifai . disease lie in immediate cauterization with . the red hot iron, and that every other meth. od only compromises the future rafety of the patient by irreparable loss of the only , moments during which the preventative eatment is applicable.—{N.

The Montgomery Confederation says: “It is thought by some gentlemen who had arrived in Mottgomery that some of his men muscles, in the vain endeavor to protect . the eye by drawing the lid over it, All. end sand are the most annoying, while the . sacola Railroad and the city of Pensacola wearer can strat manfully along, regard. Whether this report is reliable we are not less of dust whirlwinds, and with bis fea. able to state; but the fact that Gen.

Whalen, clerk of Judiciary Committee, to say, that they have alone, of all the clerks, neither asked nor received additional pay beyond the original resolution providing for their per diem allowance. Srinit Rarrixe.—The Peaonsylvania Legislature by a vote of 69 to 11, have passed an act making epirit rapping for gain, or lucre, punishable by fine or imprisonment. . About the same time the Kentucky Legislatare extended an invitation to A. B, Whiting, a spirit rapper, to address them in the Hall of Representatives, Fraser River.—Basiness is improving in the Fraser river towns, and receipts of gold increasing. Rich specimens of silver ore had been received from the Harrison mines. Tut Union meeting held at San Andreas last Saturday night was largely attended, and characterized by enthasiastic devotion to the cause and the country. .
