A few days vious to this adventure, a cinnamon bear was killed near Jamison. It is dearly possible that the whole story is a “sell”——we think not, however. AL Be #2 . a g z Tus Onprer Proxnmr.— The San Francisco Herald says, the American who has probably been resident on this coast the greatest length of time, returned to the East on the Sonora, which sailed on Monday, It is Mr. Daniel Hill, a native of Boston, who settled in Santa Barbara forty years ago, and has never visited his native country in all that period. Mr. Hill married in Santa deitera, and has raised a large family. One of his daughters married Dr. Nicholas Den, and another a Mr. Moore. Mr, Hill has grand children fourteen years of age. Those who have lately been to the East can form some idea of the extraordidary changes that will greet the senses of the old pioneer when he arrives in New York and Boston. In 1820, the last time that Mr. Hill saw New York, the population of that city was only 123,706; and now it cannot be far from 900,000, Boston, his native city, contained only 46,555, or less than one half that of San Francisco, which has sprung up under the immediate inspection of Mr. Hill, and its population can not be less than 200,000. Those that he knew as babes in their mother's arms have become gray-headed men, who have struggled successfully or unsuccessfully in the great battle of life. Men and women who were his companions, have, many of them, gone down to the dark and silent tomb, and a new gencration have taken their places. But to Mr. Hill it will be like a resurrection from the dead. Honrinie Deep.—A correspondent of the Marysville Democrat, writing from Gibsonville, May 20th, says Two men got into a quarrel about sunset last evening at the Forks of Hopkins’ Creek, when one of the combatants ended the controversy by plinging an axe in the top of his opponent's feed, up to the hilt. I saw him about one o'clock last night. The wound is a frightful one, The skull is seperated about two inches, and the axe penetrated the brain about five inches, There was concussion of the brain, and he was of course senseless; however, after all foreign matter was removed, and the wound dressed, he conversed a little rationally. The chanees are entirely against his recovery. When inflamation sets in, which is inevitable, he will be apt to goto the next world. However, he may not, as people sometimes recover from very severe injuries of the brain. They have the perpetrator of the foul deed in custody, and if his victim dies, they intend to string him up without judge or jury. Repvction oy WaGes.—One of the causes, says the Marysville Express, and perhaps the most potent one, which has contributed to the reduction of wages, is the influa of Chinese. There are now forty or fifty thousand of them in the State. Their habits are such that their expenses are trifling when compared with Americans. ‘They subsist chiefly on rice and tea, both of which are cheap. They are content to work for small pay and thus displace the Americans, There can be no doubt that the State would be greatly benefittod if they could be rooted out of our midst; for besides the evil effects they have upon labor, they contribute little or nothing te the wealth of the State. None of them are permanent residents, but whatever they make is taken or sent to China. They are impoverishing the State by extracting the precious metals from the mines, while they are no benefit whateyer. No plan has yet been devised by which the State can rid herself of them, but it would be fortunate indeed if it could be done. A Guost Stoxy.—The Alta tells us that some excitement was created in the cabin of a vessel in that port, last week, by an apparition, which stood awhile at the foreeastle door, and waved its hand . ominously toward a couple of young men who were playing cards below, It is described as the figure of a young looking man, with closed eyes. After afew moments it disappeared, and when the men had resolution enough to seek an explanation of the strange sight, nothing more could be seen of it. . If the nen had been intoxicated, the cireurnstances might have been attributed to some phantom evoked by John Barleycorn; but it is said that both were . quite sober, and the mystery has not yet been solved. . No person lookin like the apparition was known . to be on board at the time. Eastern Bounpany Sunvey.—The Surveyor General will soon commence running the eastern boundary line of this State. He will commence at . Lake Bigler, proceeding northward to Oregon, and finishing with a survey of the southren portion . of the State. It will be remembered that an approApril, as the Russian bark Kediak was beating . priation of $15,000 was made at the last session of the Legislature for the purpose of defraying the expenses of this survey. When the survey is comleted we shall know whether or not Honey Lake belongs to California, a question that now needs solving. Whenever the Honey Lakers have had difficulties with the Indians, they were citizens of Plumas county, and called on California for protection; but always managed to slide their valley into Utah when the tax collector came round. Errvcts oy tre INDIAN Wan.—The Washoe correspondent of the Alta, alluding tothe Indian troubles, anys: “This difficulty hae caused an intense excitement here, and led many to leave the country. It is believed that one-fourth of the entire population has returned to California, while the immigration ‘for the past week has pretty much ceased. Business of every kind has suffered severely, minin operations having been brought to an entire standstill. Property has also depreciated materially in price, and, with the prospect of a general Indian war, every thing wears a gloomy and discouraging aspect at present. Prospecting parties being any distance out from town, have wow . all come in, and building has almost wholly ceased.” Not 1n Tux Br.1s.—The Butte Democrat says, that while Mr, Stark was performing the “Stra in Oroville, one evening last week, in the last view between the Stranger and Mrs. Haller, the children of the parties are introduced, one of them, a bright and beautiful little daughter of Mr. Deamer, of that town, became frightened and commenced to —¢xelaiming at the same time, ‘O, mother! mcther!”—and just at the very time when such an event might well be supposed to have occurred, It was extremely apropos, consequently effective, and brought down the house with thunders of applause. Extexsive Ronpery—An extensive robbery took place at wood’s Ferry, San Joaquin county, on the night of May 20th. Two houses were completely ransacked, trunks broken, and goods taken from them. A man named Farris lost two mules with their harness. From another party, a saddle worth forty dollars was stolen, Parties were in pursuit of the thieves, who, for some time past, have been committing outrages of this description. . A Harp Casz.—The Trinity Journal says that Bernard Linnen, whose leg was broken in his claim on Sidney Hill, some weeks ago, left for San FranTuesday morning, with a view of haying . his leg broken again and properly set—a sad alter. native for the poor man after nine weeks of agony . but better than remain and become a cripple for . life, SECS NT SOS SALTS OTS SSNS ven th Esqulnaux Dogs. the following extract from Dr, Hayes’ ‘Arcoat Journey’ will be read with interest at ‘T the present time, when the writer's proposed Polar Expedition is one of the topica ef the day: “The dogs were fastened by their long traces each team ing tied to a separate stake. They were howling piteously. Having been e to all the fury of the storm, with no ability to run about, they had grown cold ; and, as their masters told us, having had nothing to eat during thirty-six hours, they must have been savagely hungry. One of them had already eaten his trace ; but we came eut, fortusately, at the pre r moment to prevent an attaek upon. the sledges, Leavin the hanters to look after their teams Ireturved to the but. The blinding snow whieh battered my face made me insensible to everathing except the idea of getting out of it; and thinking of no danger, I was in the act of stooping to enter the doorway, when a sudden noise behind me caused me te look aroun there, close at my heels, was the whole. thirteen bungry dogs, snarling, ca showing their sharp teeth like a drove ous wolves. It was fortunate that I got down upon my knees, or they would have been upon my back. In fact, so impetuous was their attack, that one of them had already eprung when I faced round, [caught him on my armand kicked him down the hill The others were for the moment intimidated by the suddenness of my movement, and at seeing the summary manner in which their leader had been dealt with; and they were in the act of sneaking away, when they perceived that I was powerless to do them any harm, having nothing in my hand. Again they assamed the offensive; they were all around me ; an instant more and I ehould be torn to pieees. LI bad faced death in several shapes before, but never had I felt as then ; my blood fairly curdled in my veins, Death down the red throats of a pack of wolfish dogs had something about it peculiarly unpleasant. Conscious of my weakness, they were preparing for a spring ; I had not time even to halloo for help--to run’ would be the readiest means of bringing the wretches upon me, My eye swept round the group and caught something lyiug half buried in the snow, about 10 feet distant. Quick asa flash I sprang, as I never sprang before or since, over tho back of a huge fellow who stood before, and the next instant L was whirling about me the lash of a long whip, cutting to right and left, The dogs retreated before my blows and the fury of my onset, and then sullenly skulked bebind the rocks, The whip had clearly saved my life ; there was nothing else within my reach, and it had been dropped there quite accidentally by Kalutanab as he weot down to the sledges. My prineipal objeetin mentioning this little incident is to show the tavage propensity of these dogs, which are to the Esquimaux more than the horse to us or the came! to the Arab. Savage they are, however, only when hungry. The night without food had developed all thele latent wolfish qualities, Reclaimed wolves they doubtless are ; and, as shown by the boldness of theirattack when my back was turned and when I had nothing in my hand, and their timidity when I had possession of a slender whip, they have all of a wolf'scowardice, Their masters keep them in subjection only by intimidation ; they willde nothing for a man they do not fear ; and even the hunter who bas been accustomed to them for years, and has fed them and driven them, has to wateh them closel when they are hungry. Tis whip is then his constant companion, They are capable of no attachment to their master, be he ever so kind, except in rare cases ; and they will follow the man who last fed them, A little child, ora disabled person, is never safe among them in times of #earcity,’’ KxeLornmxa Exrepirion.—-The Secretary of War bas ordered a detachment of troops, from Fort Laramie, to accompany Capt. Reynolds’ expedition to the head waters of the Missouri and Yellowstone rivers. The object ef this expedition is to explore that vast region of country, aod ascertain how far those rivers are nayigable. Ithas been asserted by hunters who have frequented that country, that with a small expense in removing obstructions, the Yellowstone could be made oavigable for light steamers for a distance of several hundred miles. If such should be the fact, the distance of land carriage in crossing the continent might be materially diminished, besides opening an inlet to the vast country berdering on those rivers, aud extending to the base of the Rocky Mountains, The expedition was to start as soon ag the weather should be favorable. A Suicipe.—The New York Herald of May 9th says: “A melancholy tragedy occurred at No. 24 University place about one o’clock yesterday morning. James J. Emmet, son of Thos. Addis Emmet, who had been sick for some time with consumption, aod much depressed in spiritsin consequence, shot bimself through the head with a revolver while lying in bed with an elder brother, killing bim almort instantly, Deceased, it appears, was grand nephew o Robert Emmet, the Irish patriot, and wae about twenty-seven years of age.’’ Aw Acroxn,—Among the number of theatrical adventurers started every year ou the stage there are few so wise as to know for what parts nuture bas fitted them. In consequence of this want of eagacity in them, men who are bern, it may be said, to appear in the lowest walks of comedy are vain cuvugh to think they aro form ed to shine in the highest paths of tragedy. Several years ago an actor who was pot iu the least qualified to make figures ia buskins, felt bimeelf bold enough to undertake the character of Riebard the Third, and he played the character in so ludicrous a style that he failed not to raise a laugh whenever he made his appearance, In his last scene he was particularly forcible, and died in so droll a manner that he was eucored. Flattered with to new a mark of dramatic distinction, he started up and died again amid peals of mirth from all parts of the crowded house. Tux Peacu Onor asour Nara,—The Napa Reporter says: We continue to hear unfavorable accounts of the peach crop, both from the upper and lower portions ef the valley. Many persons owning extensive orchards will have no fruit worth picking, Mr. Thompson, of the celebrated Suscol nurseries, will not have more than half a erop. Tue Parnox ov ‘Pureves.—The Sonora Age says that ene John Doe was recently convicted by a jury in a Justice’s court, in that county, of stealing a red-hot cooking-stove. As the property was not found on the person of the defendant, he haz appealed to the Court of Sessions. That fellow is tco dangerous to be at large. Aman who could steal a red-hot stove is capable of stealing things out of his reach, Anotner Victim.—A man named Robt.

AL Be #2 . a g z Tus Onprer Proxnmr.— The San Francisco Herald says, the American who has probably been resident on this coast the greatest length of time, returned to the East on the Sonora, which sailed on Monday, It is Mr. Daniel Hill, a native of Boston, who settled in Santa Barbara forty years ago, and has never visited his native country in all that period. Mr. Hill married in Santa deitera, and has raised a large family. One of his daughters married Dr. Nicholas Den, and another a Mr. Moore. Mr, Hill has grand children fourteen years of age. Those who have lately been to the East can form some idea of the extraordidary changes that will greet the senses of the old pioneer when he arrives in New York and Boston. In 1820, the last time that Mr. Hill saw New York, the population of that city was only 123,706; and now it cannot be far from 900,000, Boston, his native city, contained only 46,555, or less than one half that of San Francisco, which has sprung up under the immediate inspection of Mr.

Hill, and its population can not be less than 200,000. Those that he knew as babes in their mother's arms have become gray-headed men, who have struggled successfully or unsuccessfully in the great battle of life. Men and women who were his companions, have, many of them, gone down to the dark and silent tomb, and a new gencration have taken their places. But to Mr. Hill it will be like a resurrection from the dead. Honrinie Deep.—A correspondent of the Marysville Democrat, writing from Gibsonville, May 20th, says Two men got into a quarrel about sunset last evening at the Forks of Hopkins’ Creek, when one of the combatants ended the controversy by plinging an axe in the top of his opponent's feed, up to the hilt. I saw him about one o'clock last night. The wound is a frightful one, The skull is seperated about two inches, and the axe penetrated the brain about five inches, There was concussion of the brain, and he was of course senseless; however, after all foreign matter was removed, and the wound dressed, he conversed a little rationally. The chanees are entirely against his recovery. When inflamation sets in, which is inevitable, he will be apt to goto the next world. However, he may not, as people sometimes recover from very severe injuries of the brain. They have the perpetrator of the foul deed in custody, and if his victim dies, they intend to string him up without judge or jury. Repvction oy WaGes.—One of the causes, says the Marysville Express, and perhaps the most potent one, which has contributed to the reduction of wages, is the influa of Chinese. There are now forty or fifty thousand of them in the State. Their habits are such that their expenses are trifling when compared with Americans. ‘They subsist chiefly on rice and tea, both of which are cheap. They are content to work for small pay and thus displace the Americans, There can be no doubt that the State would be greatly benefittod if they could be rooted out of our midst; for besides the evil effects they have upon labor, they contribute little or nothing te the wealth of the State. None of them are permanent residents, but whatever they make is taken or sent to China. They are impoverishing the State by extracting the precious metals from the mines, while they are no benefit whateyer. No plan has yet been devised by which the State can rid herself of them, but it would be fortunate indeed if it could be done. A Guost Stoxy.—The Alta tells us that some excitement was created in the cabin of a vessel in that port, last week, by an apparition, which stood awhile at the foreeastle door, and waved its hand . ominously toward a couple of young men who were playing cards below, It is described as the figure of a young looking man, with closed eyes. After afew moments it disappeared, and when the men had resolution enough to seek an explanation of the strange sight, nothing more could be seen of it. . If the nen had been intoxicated, the cireurnstances might have been attributed to some phantom evoked by John Barleycorn; but it is said that both were . quite sober, and the mystery has not yet been solved. . No person lookin like the apparition was known . to be on board at the time. Eastern Bounpany Sunvey.—The Surveyor General will soon commence running the eastern boundary line of this State. He will commence at . Lake Bigler, proceeding northward to Oregon, and finishing with a survey of the southren portion . of the State. It will be remembered that an approApril, as the Russian bark Kediak was beating . priation of $15,000 was made at the last session of the Legislature for the purpose of defraying the expenses of this survey. When the survey is comleted we shall know whether or not Honey Lake belongs to California, a question that now needs solving. Whenever the Honey Lakers have had difficulties with the Indians, they were citizens of Plumas county, and called on California for protection; but always managed to slide their valley into Utah when the tax collector came round. Errvcts oy tre INDIAN Wan.—The Washoe correspondent of the Alta, alluding tothe Indian troubles, anys: “This difficulty hae caused an intense excitement here, and led many to leave the country. It is believed that one-fourth of the entire population has returned to California, while the immigration ‘for the past week has pretty much ceased. Business of every kind has suffered severely, minin operations having been brought to an entire standstill. Property has also depreciated materially in price, and, with the prospect of a general Indian war, every thing wears a gloomy and discouraging aspect at present. Prospecting parties being any distance out from town, have wow . all come in, and building has almost wholly ceased.” Not 1n Tux Br.1s.—The Butte Democrat says, that while Mr, Stark was performing the “Stra in Oroville, one evening last week, in the last view between the Stranger and Mrs. Haller, the children of the parties are introduced, one of them, a bright and beautiful little daughter of Mr. Deamer, of that town, became frightened and commenced to —¢xelaiming at the same time, ‘O, mother! mcther!”—and just at the very time when such an event might well be supposed to have occurred, It was extremely apropos, consequently effective, and brought down the house with thunders of applause. Extexsive Ronpery—An extensive robbery took place at wood’s Ferry, San Joaquin county, on the night of May 20th. Two houses were completely ransacked, trunks broken, and goods taken from them. A man named Farris lost two mules with their harness. From another party, a saddle worth forty dollars was stolen, Parties were in pursuit of the thieves, who, for some time past, have been committing outrages of this description. . A Harp Casz.—The Trinity Journal says that Bernard Linnen, whose leg was broken in his claim on Sidney Hill, some weeks ago, left for San FranTuesday morning, with a view of haying . his leg broken again and properly set—a sad alter. native for the poor man after nine weeks of agony . but better than remain and become a cripple for . life, SECS NT SOS SALTS OTS SSNS ven th Esqulnaux Dogs. the following extract from Dr, Hayes’ ‘Arcoat Journey’ will be read with interest at ‘T the present time, when the writer's proposed Polar Expedition is one of the topica ef the day: “The dogs were fastened by their long traces each team ing tied to a separate stake. They were howling piteously. Having been e to all the fury of the storm, with no ability to run about, they had grown cold ; and, as their masters told us, having had nothing to eat during thirty-six hours, they must have been savagely hungry. One of them had already eaten his trace ; but we came eut, fortusately, at the pre r moment to prevent an attaek upon. the sledges, Leavin the hanters to look after their teams Ireturved to the but. The blinding snow whieh battered my face made me insensible to everathing except the idea of getting out of it; and thinking of no danger, I was in the act of stooping to enter the doorway, when a sudden noise behind me caused me te look aroun there, close at my heels, was the whole. thirteen bungry dogs, snarling, ca showing their sharp teeth like a drove ous wolves. It was fortunate that I got down upon my knees, or they would have been upon my back. In fact, so impetuous was their attack, that one of them had already eprung when I faced round, [caught him on my armand kicked him down the hill The others were for the moment intimidated by the suddenness of my movement, and at seeing the summary manner in which their leader had been dealt with; and they were in the act of sneaking away, when they perceived that I was powerless to do them any harm, having nothing in my hand. Again they assamed the offensive; they were all around me ; an instant more and I ehould be torn to pieees. LI bad faced death in several shapes before, but never had I felt as then ; my blood fairly curdled in my veins, Death down the red throats of a pack of wolfish dogs had something about it peculiarly unpleasant. Conscious of my weakness, they were preparing for a spring ; I had not time even to halloo for help--to run’ would be the readiest means of bringing the wretches upon me, My eye swept round the group and caught something lyiug half buried in the snow, about 10 feet distant. Quick asa flash I sprang, as I never sprang before or since, over tho back of a huge fellow who stood before, and the next instant L was whirling about me the lash of a long whip, cutting to right and left, The dogs retreated before my blows and the fury of my onset, and then sullenly skulked bebind the rocks, The whip had clearly saved my life ; there was nothing else within my reach, and it had been dropped there quite accidentally by Kalutanab as he weot down to the sledges. My prineipal objeetin mentioning this little incident is to show the tavage propensity of these dogs, which are to the Esquimaux more than the horse to us or the came! to the Arab. Savage they are, however, only when hungry. The night without food had developed all thele latent wolfish qualities, Reclaimed wolves they doubtless are ; and, as shown by the boldness of theirattack when my back was turned and when I had nothing in my hand, and their timidity when I had possession of a slender whip, they have all of a wolf'scowardice, Their masters keep them in subjection only by intimidation ; they willde nothing for a man they do not fear ; and even the hunter who bas been accustomed to them for years, and has fed them and driven them, has to wateh them closel when they are hungry. Tis whip is then his constant companion, They are capable of no attachment to their master, be he ever so kind, except in rare cases ; and they will follow the man who last fed them, A little child, ora disabled person, is never safe among them in times of #earcity,’’ KxeLornmxa Exrepirion.—-The Secretary of War bas ordered a detachment of troops, from Fort Laramie, to accompany Capt. Reynolds’ expedition to the head waters of the Missouri and Yellowstone rivers. The object ef this expedition is to explore that vast region of country, aod ascertain how far those rivers are nayigable. Ithas been asserted by hunters who have frequented that country, that with a small expense in removing obstructions, the Yellowstone could be made oavigable for light steamers for a distance of several hundred miles. If such should be the fact, the distance of land carriage in crossing the continent might be materially diminished, besides opening an inlet to the vast country berdering on those rivers, aud extending to the base of the Rocky Mountains, The expedition was to start as soon ag the weather should be favorable.
