HE NEVADA DEMOG In The Clouds, There is only too much reason to apprelend that Mr. Thurston, who ascended in a balloon from Adrian, Michigan, on the 16th of this Sept. has either been dashed to pieces by a fall from the perilous eminence which he bad attained, or, ifhe was alive when the balloon reached the earth, perished miserably of famine and cold in the marshes, He ascended with a Mr. Bannister as his companion, and the balloon speedily reached an altitude of two miles and a half. After having been forty-five minutes in the air, they descended about seventeen miles from Adrian, where Mr. Bannister got out. ble, Mr. Thurston (who had commenced letting the gas escape, so as to empty the balloon) crawled inside the netting, to the top of the balloon, there made a ecat for himself of the wooden valve disk, and ealling on Mr. Bannister to . cut the cords, said to the by-standers, “You . may see another ascension now.’ It should be noticed that Mr. Thurston bad frequently reaecended thus, when the balloon had been emptied of two-thirds of the A which, continuing its gradual escape, would finally allew the colJapsing balloon a safe descent. Mr. Bannister . declined cutting the rope, believing that too much gas remained in the balloon, Somebody else, however, cut the cords, and the balloon . instantly bounded upwards with great velocity. . It would seem that sufficient gas had not escap. ed; that Mr, Thurston had heretofore used hydrogen gas, which has less specitic gravity than the carburetted hydrogen gas, with which the . balloon was then filled, and therefore eseapes more readily. The sceond ascent was anxiously watehed by the spectators. Two statements are made on . an important point—one, that Mr. Thurston succeeded in opening the mouth of the balloon, to the extent of eighteen inches, (so as to allow the continued escape of gas ;) another that the valve-cord got entangled around the opening, or mouth, and was drawn by Mr. Thurston's weight, so closely around the mouth of the balloon as to fasten it up, and retain the gas, This is net the opinion of Mr, Bannister, who watched the ascent with a glass, and could observe Mr. Thurston seated on the tep of the balloon, apparently quite at ease, On the first as. cent, the balloon contained about 18,000 feet of carburetted hydrogen gas; on the second, it had about 18,000. The rapidity with which it it shot up, the second time, was wonderful—in three minutes the balloon was three miles up in the air, It was seen, through a glass, for two bours. This ascent was made on Thursday, the 16th of Sept., about eleven o'clock A. M. On the . following Monday, five days later, news reach. ed Adrian that the balloon had come down near Baptiste Creek, Lake Erie, on the Canada side. . The balloon had fallen upon a marshy meadow, . was found with its mouth open, and had been . torn in two places by the branches of a tree. A great deal of gas remained in it when found. . There was a belief, at first, that Thurston was . alive and well, when the balloon first touched . the ground ; that he then let go his hold, and . that the balloon, thus relieved of bis weight, . again ascended, but specdily came down again. . Mr. Bannister, who went over to Canada to make juquiries and find his friend, alive or . dead, returned to Adrian with the conviction . that he must have fallen off before Canada was reached. The Detroit Tribune says “Mr. Ban. nister comes back deapairingly. He states that the balloon valve on whieh Thurston sat is torn out from the silk of the balloon three quarters of the way round, indieating unerringly that the weight of the unfortunate man was too . great for the strength of the sides, and that the silk gave way, when he must have dropped off. His only remaining chance would be to cling to the smooth material of which the balloon was made, and be could not have sustained himlselfin that manner. When this occurred we can only conjecture, but that it must have been within an hour after he started seems highly . probable.’ There seems no probability that . Thurston escaped, THE UNDERSIGNED HAVE RE-) The Detroit newspapers, which supply us with fitted and renovated the buiiding formerly known .

The followingisan extract from a letter which we find in the Dallas (Texas) Herald. It . is from one of a company of horseman who left . Dallas for California : The third day out, in the morning, we started with the famishing heard ahead of the train. . The eattle becoming very excitable, and trav-. eling ata very fast walk, we pressed on as hard as we could. At midnight, the herd got a fresh breeze, and turned to the north on an Indian trail, and traveled most furiously, the . fas fighting them in front to keep them in ace. At daybreak we struck the Belknap road, 15 tiles from the well known Sand Hills, where we succeeded in turning the cattle on the road, Here one of our men, J. Ramsey, was pitched on by a large steer, his horse throwing him, His bead was partially sculped, his collar bone broken, and otherwise badly bruised, Six shots had to be fired before the enraged animal fell. As soon as the herd reached the road, they pitched off and run eight miles, and then left the road again, turning north iato deep drifted land. Here we hada desperate struggle to save the herd, fighting them back for four long i he they pressing us hard, and all fighting mad. At last one file of the most furious steers led . out again, when we set to and succeeded in . herding them towards the road, which they soon struek. and by 4 o’clock we arrived in the Sand Hills, where we found many ponds of . weak alkali water, and saved the lives of the famishing men and cattle, The herd had no water for seventy-six hours, and traveled 130 . miles; the herdsmen were without water or . nourishment thirty hours. Their exercise was very hard, riding and hallooing at the cattle, and was calculated to bring on thirst soon.— The men suffered extremely for the want of water and sleep; many shot down the famishing bullocks on the road, stuck them, pulled off their shoes or boots, caught the thick hot blood and drank it freely, and by so doing saved their lives. The cattle were all very much excited, and any of them would fight, and the men were compelled to shoot many. We went into the Sand Hills with 1,600 head of cattle, or struck the sand with that number, and left with about 1,050, much of the missing having died for the want of water. On arriving the men were all excited and hardly knew their comrades, Dan Murry, Whatley, Kelton, and Collier would never have got to water bad not some of the herdsmen been sent on after water and returned to them, They had stopped by the side of the road. We had jno provisions but fresh beef for three days, aud became very much reduced, and none of us were able for service. Aw IxctpEnt,—A touching case was presented yesterday to the consideration and charity of one of the good Samaritans who now take care of the sick, relieve the destitute, and feed the starving. A boy was discovered in the morning, lying in the grass of Claiborne street, evidently bright and intelligent, but sick. A man who has the feelings of kindness strougly developed went to him, shook him by the shoulder, and asked him what he was doing there, “Waiting for God to come for me,’’ said he. “What do you mean?’ said the gentleman, touched by the pathetic tone of the answer, and the condition of the boy, in whose eye and flushed face he saw the evidences of the fever.— “God sent four mother, and father, and little brother,’’ said he, ‘and took them away to his home, upiu the sky; and mother told me, when she was sick, that God would take eare of ime. I have no home, nobody to give me anything, andsolcame out here, and have . been looking so long up in the sky for God to come and take eare of me. as mother said be would. He will come won’t he? Mother never told me a lie’? Yes, my lJad,’’ said the man, overcome with emotion, “he has sent me to take care of you.’’ You should have seen his eyes flash, and the smile of triumph break over his face, as he said, “Mother never told me a lie, sir; but you’ve been so long on the way.”’ What a lesson of trust, aod how this incident shows the effect of never deceiving children with idle tales! As the poor mother expeeted when she told her son “God would take care of him,’’ he did, by touching the heart of this benevolent man with compassion and love to the little stranger.—New Orleans Delta. Horixe aGaixst Hork.—The Philadelphia ress relates the following, in one of its aceounts of the loss of the steamer Austria : A curious circumstance connected with the unhappy losses which all so greatly feel and deplore, is the “hoping against hope” which some of the surviving relatives entertain. The wife of Mr. Theodore Gerok, of Baltimore, is now visiting her relatives in Philadelphia, and while they have no doubt of his logs she alone has a deep conviction that he is not dead; either he was not on board the Austria (though he wrote to her that be had actually paid for his passage), or, if he was, that he must have been among the few who were rescued. It may be within the knowledge of many of our readers thata clergyman of this city was among those who left for Europe, on the ill-fated Pres. ident, and was never sgain beard of. His wife, who remained in Philadelphia, and was deeply attached to bim, never did, because she never would, believe that he was lost to . her. Eighteen years have passed away, and . yet, that trusting lady—we cannot speak of . her as wife and she repudiates the name of wid. ow—continues to expecthisretarn, Every day, a cover is placed for him at the table where still stands hie accustomed chair. Every ring at the bell, we are informed, awakens the oherished conviction of her heart that the loved one will returao, a . Deciixe or Suavery IN Mary_anp.—A Balti. more paper says: “The decennial statistics of . the population of Maryland exhibit a steady increased percentage of white population, and an almost equally steady decrease of the pereentage of slaves held in the State. Between 1806 and 1810 the increase of the white population was 8.68 percent; between 1810 and 1820, 10.67 per cent; between 1820 and 1830, 11.86 per cent ; between 1830 and 1840, 9.30 per cent; and between 1840 and 1850, 31.34 per cent. Up to 1810 the percentange of slave population increased; but in 1820 the decrease was 2.68 per . cent; in 1830, 4.09 per cent; in 1840, the decrease was 12,87 per cent; and in 1850 there was an increase of 0.70 per cent; the number . of alaves in the State in 1840 being 79,737, and . in 1850, 80,368. The aggregate increase of the white population from 1810 to 1850, bas been 71.58 per cent, while the decrease of slave population, from 1820 to 1850, bas been 20,56 per cent, These figures, we think, indicate that the problem of the future condition of Maryland as a slave or free State is solving itself.’’ Tunkats.—I look upon it, says Machiavelli, as one of the greatest points of discretion in a man, to forbear injury and threatening, especially in words. Neither of them weakens the . enemy; but the threatening makes him caatious, and injury the more inveterate aod industrious to revenge it.

Cass to Gen. Lamar, Minister to Nicatagua and Costa Rica, in which the policy of our government in relation to the af. fairs of Central America is qlearly set forth, and the Monroe doctrine vigorously. aseerted. On this point Mr. Cass says : But the establishment of a political protectorate by any of the Powers of Europe over any of the independent States of this continent, or in other words, the introduction of a scheme of policy which would carry with it a right to interfere in their concerns, is a measure to which the United States have long since avowed their opposition, and which, should the attempt be made, they will resist by all the means in their power. The reasons for the attitude they have assumed have been fully premelante and every where well koown. hey are founded on the political circumstances of the American continent, which has intereste of its own, and onght to have a policy of its own, dieconnected from many of the questions which are continually presenting themselves in Europe concerning the balance of power and other subjects of controversy arising out of the condition of its States, and which often find their solution or their postponement in war, It is of paramount importance to the States ef this hemisphere that they should baye no entanstizg union with the Powers of the Old World—a connection which would almost necessarily make them parties to wars haviog no interest for them, and which would often involve them in hostilities with other American States, contiguous or remote. The yeara which have passed by since this principle of separation was first announced hy the United States have served still more to satisfy the people of this country of its wisdom, and to fortify their resolution to maintain it, happen what may, The progress of events has rendered the interoceanio routes, the narrow portions of Central America, vastly important to the commercial world, and especially to the United States, whose possessions extending along the Atlantio and Pacific coasts, demand the speediest snd the easiest modes of communication, While the just rights of apron ye of the States occupying this region should always be respeoted, we shall expect that these rights will be exercised in a spirit befitting the occasion and the wants and ciroumstances that have arisen, Sovereignty has its duties as well as its rights, and none of these local governments, even if administered with more regard to the just demands of other nations than they have been, would be permitted in a spirit of eastern isolation to close these gates of intercourse on the great highways of the world, and justify the act by the pretension that these avenues of trade and travel belong to them, and that they choose to shut them, or, what is almost equivalent, to encumber them with such unjust regulations as would prevent their general use. The United States do not seek either the control or the exclusive use of these routes. They desire that the advantages should be equally common to all nations. Nor do they claim to interfere with the local gevernments in the determination of the questions connected with opening of the routes, and with the persons with whom contracts may be made for that purpose, What they do desire—and mean to accomplish —is that the great interests involved in this subject should not be sacrificed to any unworthy motive, but should be guarded from abuse; and that when contracts are fairly entered into with American citizens they should not be wantonly violated. Other nations will no doubt pursue the same couree in relation to their citizens or subjects who may have similar inter. ests. Danixa Ropsery.—The Marysville papers tell of a daring robbery committed in that city, About nine o’clock last Wednesday night, when Mr. Stephenson, proprieter of the Orleans House, and another man, were sitting io a back room of the billiard saloon ata Monte table, with the sum of $600 in gold and silver lying thereon, two men with black muslin masks covering their faces, and extending to the knees, entered the back door, which was standing ajar and advancing to the table without speaking, leveled each a pistol at the heads of Stephenson and his companion, snatched the money from the table, and immediately made off through the back door. In their retreat one of the masks fell off and was given to the police, but the robbers escaped. At the time of the rabbery the house was lighted up, and several par. ties were in the billiard-room, which is separated from the gambling-room by an open dear, with only a green baize screen, ALABASTER IN CaLirornia.—-A gentleman, writing from Monterey, says that Alabaster of a very superior quality and rivaling the finest of Italian, is found, in large quantities, in the Antonio, in the vicinity of the horse trail between the two places.

On Broad St. Nevada, a few doors below Pine st. HE NEVADA DEMOG In The Clouds, There is only too much reason to apprelend that Mr. Thurston, who ascended in a balloon from Adrian, Michigan, on the 16th of this Sept. has either been dashed to pieces by a fall from the perilous eminence which he bad attained, or, ifhe was alive when the balloon reached the earth, perished miserably of famine and cold in the marshes, He ascended with a Mr. Bannister as his companion, and the balloon speedily reached an altitude of two miles and a half. After having been forty-five minutes in the air, they descended about seventeen miles from Adrian, where Mr. Bannister got out. ble, Mr. Thurston (who had commenced letting the gas escape, so as to empty the balloon) crawled inside the netting, to the top of the balloon, there made a ecat for himself of the wooden valve disk, and ealling on Mr. Bannister to . cut the cords, said to the by-standers, “You . may see another ascension now.’ It should be noticed that Mr. Thurston bad frequently reaecended thus, when the balloon had been emptied of two-thirds of the A which, continuing its gradual escape, would finally allew the colJapsing balloon a safe descent. Mr. Bannister . declined cutting the rope, believing that too much gas remained in the balloon, Somebody else, however, cut the cords, and the balloon . instantly bounded upwards with great velocity. . It would seem that sufficient gas had not escap. ed; that Mr, Thurston had heretofore used hydrogen gas, which has less specitic gravity than the carburetted hydrogen gas, with which the . balloon was then filled, and therefore eseapes more readily. The sceond ascent was anxiously watehed by the spectators. Two statements are made on . an important point—one, that Mr. Thurston succeeded in opening the mouth of the balloon, to the extent of eighteen inches, (so as to allow the continued escape of gas ;) another that the valve-cord got entangled around the opening, or mouth, and was drawn by Mr. Thurston's weight, so closely around the mouth of the balloon as to fasten it up, and retain the gas, This is net the opinion of Mr, Bannister, who watched the ascent with a glass, and could observe Mr. Thurston seated on the tep of the balloon, apparently quite at ease, On the first as. cent, the balloon contained about 18,000 feet of carburetted hydrogen gas; on the second, it had about 18,000. The rapidity with which it it shot up, the second time, was wonderful—in three minutes the balloon was three miles up in the air, It was seen, through a glass, for two bours. This ascent was made on Thursday, the 16th of Sept., about eleven o'clock A. M. On the . following Monday, five days later, news reach. ed Adrian that the balloon had come down near Baptiste Creek, Lake Erie, on the Canada side. . The balloon had fallen upon a marshy meadow, . was found with its mouth open, and had been . torn in two places by the branches of a tree. A great deal of gas remained in it when found. . There was a belief, at first, that Thurston was . alive and well, when the balloon first touched . the ground ; that he then let go his hold, and . that the balloon, thus relieved of bis weight, . again ascended, but specdily came down again. . Mr. Bannister, who went over to Canada to make juquiries and find his friend, alive or . dead, returned to Adrian with the conviction . that he must have fallen off before Canada was reached. The Detroit Tribune says “Mr. Ban. nister comes back deapairingly. He states that the balloon valve on whieh Thurston sat is torn out from the silk of the balloon three quarters of the way round, indieating unerringly that the weight of the unfortunate man was too . great for the strength of the sides, and that the silk gave way, when he must have dropped off. His only remaining chance would be to cling to the smooth material of which the balloon was made, and be could not have sustained himlselfin that manner. When this occurred we can only conjecture, but that it must have been within an hour after he started seems highly . probable.’ There seems no probability that . Thurston escaped, THE UNDERSIGNED HAVE RE-) The Detroit newspapers, which supply us with fitted and renovated the buiiding formerly known .

The followingisan extract from a letter which we find in the Dallas (Texas) Herald. It . is from one of a company of horseman who left . Dallas for California : The third day out, in the morning, we started with the famishing heard ahead of the train. . The eattle becoming very excitable, and trav-. eling ata very fast walk, we pressed on as hard as we could. At midnight, the herd got a fresh breeze, and turned to the north on an Indian trail, and traveled most furiously, the . fas fighting them in front to keep them in ace. At daybreak we struck the Belknap road, 15 tiles from the well known Sand Hills, where we succeeded in turning the cattle on the road, Here one of our men, J. Ramsey, was pitched on by a large steer, his horse throwing him, His bead was partially sculped, his collar bone broken, and otherwise badly bruised, Six shots had to be fired before the enraged animal fell. As soon as the herd reached the road, they pitched off and run eight miles, and then left the road again, turning north iato deep drifted land. Here we hada desperate struggle to save the herd, fighting them back for four long i he they pressing us hard, and all fighting mad. At last one file of the most furious steers led . out again, when we set to and succeeded in . herding them towards the road, which they soon struek. and by 4 o’clock we arrived in the Sand Hills, where we found many ponds of . weak alkali water, and saved the lives of the famishing men and cattle, The herd had no water for seventy-six hours, and traveled 130 . miles; the herdsmen were without water or . nourishment thirty hours. Their exercise was very hard, riding and hallooing at the cattle, and was calculated to bring on thirst soon.— The men suffered extremely for the want of water and sleep; many shot down the famishing bullocks on the road, stuck them, pulled off their shoes or boots, caught the thick hot blood and drank it freely, and by so doing saved their lives. The cattle were all very much excited, and any of them would fight, and the men were compelled to shoot many. We went into the Sand Hills with 1,600 head of cattle, or struck the sand with that number, and left with about 1,050, much of the missing having died for the want of water. On arriving the men were all excited and hardly knew their comrades, Dan Murry, Whatley, Kelton, and Collier would never have got to water bad not some of the herdsmen been sent on after water and returned to them, They had stopped by the side of the road. We had jno provisions but fresh beef for three days, aud became very much reduced, and none of us were able for service. Aw IxctpEnt,—A touching case was presented yesterday to the consideration and charity of one of the good Samaritans who now take care of the sick, relieve the destitute, and feed the starving. A boy was discovered in the morning, lying in the grass of Claiborne street, evidently bright and intelligent, but sick. A man who has the feelings of kindness strougly developed went to him, shook him by the shoulder, and asked him what he was doing there, “Waiting for God to come for me,’’ said he. “What do you mean?’ said the gentleman, touched by the pathetic tone of the answer, and the condition of the boy, in whose eye and flushed face he saw the evidences of the fever.— “God sent four mother, and father, and little brother,’’ said he, ‘and took them away to his home, upiu the sky; and mother told me, when she was sick, that God would take eare of ime. I have no home, nobody to give me anything, andsolcame out here, and have . been looking so long up in the sky for God to come and take eare of me. as mother said be would. He will come won’t he? Mother never told me a lie’? Yes, my lJad,’’ said the man, overcome with emotion, “he has sent me to take care of you.’’ You should have seen his eyes flash, and the smile of triumph break over his face, as he said, “Mother never told me a lie, sir; but you’ve been so long on the way.”’ What a lesson of trust, aod how this incident shows the effect of never deceiving children with idle tales! As the poor mother expeeted when she told her son “God would take care of him,’’ he did, by touching the heart of this benevolent man with compassion and love to the little stranger.—New Orleans Delta. Horixe aGaixst Hork.—The Philadelphia ress relates the following, in one of its aceounts of the loss of the steamer Austria : A curious circumstance connected with the unhappy losses which all so greatly feel and deplore, is the “hoping against hope” which some of the surviving relatives entertain. The wife of Mr. Theodore Gerok, of Baltimore, is now visiting her relatives in Philadelphia, and while they have no doubt of his logs she alone has a deep conviction that he is not dead; either he was not on board the Austria (though he wrote to her that be had actually paid for his passage), or, if he was, that he must have been among the few who were rescued. It may be within the knowledge of many of our readers thata clergyman of this city was among those who left for Europe, on the ill-fated Pres. ident, and was never sgain beard of. His wife, who remained in Philadelphia, and was deeply attached to bim, never did, because she never would, believe that he was lost to . her. Eighteen years have passed away, and . yet, that trusting lady—we cannot speak of . her as wife and she repudiates the name of wid. ow—continues to expecthisretarn, Every day, a cover is placed for him at the table where still stands hie accustomed chair.

Deciixe or Suavery IN Mary_anp.—A Balti. more paper says: “The decennial statistics of . the population of Maryland exhibit a steady increased percentage of white population, and an almost equally steady decrease of the pereentage of slaves held in the State. Between 1806 and 1810 the increase of the white population was 8.68 percent; between 1810 and 1820, 10.67 per cent; between 1820 and 1830, 11.86 per cent ; between 1830 and 1840, 9.30 per cent; and between 1840 and 1850, 31.34 per cent. Up to 1810 the percentange of slave population increased; but in 1820 the decrease was 2.68 per . cent; in 1830, 4.09 per cent; in 1840, the decrease was 12,87 per cent; and in 1850 there was an increase of 0.70 per cent; the number . of alaves in the State in 1840 being 79,737, and . in 1850, 80,368. The aggregate increase of the white population from 1810 to 1850, bas been 71.58 per cent, while the decrease of slave population, from 1820 to 1850, bas been 20,56 per cent, These figures, we think, indicate that the problem of the future condition of Maryland as a slave or free State is solving itself.’’ Tunkats.—I look upon it, says Machiavelli, as one of the greatest points of discretion in a man, to forbear injury and threatening, especially in words. Neither of them weakens the . enemy; but the threatening makes him caatious, and injury the more inveterate aod industrious to revenge it.

Cass to Gen. Lamar, Minister to Nicatagua and Costa Rica, in which the policy of our government in relation to the af. fairs of Central America is qlearly set forth, and the Monroe doctrine vigorously. aseerted. On this point Mr. Cass says : But the establishment of a political protectorate by any of the Powers of Europe over any of the independent States of this continent, or in other words, the introduction of a scheme of policy which would carry with it a right to interfere in their concerns, is a measure to which the United States have long since avowed their opposition, and which, should the attempt be made, they will resist by all the means in their power. The reasons for the attitude they have assumed have been fully premelante and every where well koown. hey are founded on the political circumstances of the American continent, which has intereste of its own, and onght to have a policy of its own, dieconnected from many of the questions which are continually presenting themselves in Europe concerning the balance of power and other subjects of controversy arising out of the condition of its States, and which often find their solution or their postponement in war, It is of paramount importance to the States ef this hemisphere that they should baye no entanstizg union with the Powers of the Old World—a connection which would almost necessarily make them parties to wars haviog no interest for them, and which would often involve them in hostilities with other American States, contiguous or remote. The yeara which have passed by since this principle of separation was first announced hy the United States have served still more to satisfy the people of this country of its wisdom, and to fortify their resolution to maintain it, happen what may, The progress of events has rendered the interoceanio routes, the narrow portions of Central America, vastly important to the commercial world, and especially to the United States, whose possessions extending along the Atlantio and Pacific coasts, demand the speediest snd the easiest modes of communication, While the just rights of apron ye of the States occupying this region should always be respeoted, we shall expect that these rights will be exercised in a spirit befitting the occasion and the wants and ciroumstances that have arisen, Sovereignty has its duties as well as its rights, and none of these local governments, even if administered with more regard to the just demands of other nations than they have been, would be permitted in a spirit of eastern isolation to close these gates of intercourse on the great highways of the world, and justify the act by the pretension that these avenues of trade and travel belong to them, and that they choose to shut them, or, what is almost equivalent, to encumber them with such unjust regulations as would prevent their general use. The United States do not seek either the control or the exclusive use of these routes. They desire that the advantages should be equally common to all nations. Nor do they claim to interfere with the local gevernments in the determination of the questions connected with opening of the routes, and with the persons with whom contracts may be made for that purpose, What they do desire—and mean to accomplish —is that the great interests involved in this subject should not be sacrificed to any unworthy motive, but should be guarded from abuse; and that when contracts are fairly entered into with American citizens they should not be wantonly violated. Other nations will no doubt pursue the same couree in relation to their citizens or subjects who may have similar inter. ests. Danixa Ropsery.—The Marysville papers tell of a daring robbery committed in that city, About nine o’clock last Wednesday night, when Mr. Stephenson, proprieter of the Orleans House, and another man, were sitting io a back room of the billiard saloon ata Monte table, with the sum of $600 in gold and silver lying thereon, two men with black muslin masks covering their faces, and extending to the knees, entered the back door, which was standing ajar and advancing to the table without speaking, leveled each a pistol at the heads of Stephenson and his companion, snatched the money from the table, and immediately made off through the back door. In their retreat one of the masks fell off and was given to the police, but the robbers escaped. At the time of the rabbery the house was lighted up, and several par. ties were in the billiard-room, which is separated from the gambling-room by an open dear, with only a green baize screen, ALABASTER IN CaLirornia.—-A gentleman, writing from Monterey, says that Alabaster of a very superior quality and rivaling the finest of Italian, is found, in large quantities, in the Antonio, in the vicinity of the horse trail between the two places. It is also found in the mountains of the Coast Range near the Chulan . peak, eastward from the Soledad Mission, The alabaster is clean, close-grained, very firm and translucent, and can be cut with a knife; its color is a beautifal light cream.
