Cross, who recently fought a duel in Arizona, with Lieut. Mowry, was assassinated in Tucson, bis place of risidence, shortly after the duel, heobating to aCincianati paper. His duel with Mowry was a strange, dare-devil affair. They fought with rifles, both being crack shots. They popped away at each other four times without effect. In the fourth fire Cross’ rifle went off prematurely, and the se conde decided that Mowry was entitled toa shot alone, So the brave Cross threw his rifle aside, calmly folded his arms, and told Mowry to blazeaway. The generous Mowry did blaze, but be blazed into air. The belligerents then made up, and we hoped Cross would have uo more desperate fights for the present. But it seems his dogs barked at some Mexicans; Mexicans drew knives on dogs ; Cross told them to let the dogs alone, calling them off at the same time ; Mexicans fell on Cross and cut him to pieces. Thus goes the story. It may not be true. But you know they do this sort of thing in Arizona, We knew E. E. Cross very well. He instructed us in the mysteries and. miseries of type-setting in Coos county, N. H., some eara ago. He was First Lieutevant of the Greys, and was rather proud of his position. He went to get his uniform one training day, but could not find it, He was forced to train witha red scarfand diugy old cutlass, that being the only unirorm be could raise. In the evening a crazy old town panper (who fancied be was Napoleon Bonaparte) was dug out of a woodshed with Cross’ uniform on. He was in a etate of extreme intoxication, and the uniform, once so bright and gay, was now beameared with mud, etc, The Lieutenant was quite angry, and accueed ue of rigging the panr out in his beautiful military clothes. We ad a slight falling out, in which the Lieutenant fell somewhat heavily upon us, and, as he was a man grown, and very stout and we were quite small and young, we can safely say that we never experienced such intense anxiety in our life. At the end of the desperate contest we found ourself at the foot of the printing-office stairs. We thought we would print no more.in that building. We hada ‘sheep’s foot” in ous hands, and thinking we might be accused of theft if we carried it away. we stepout into the street and threw it up through the window. Lieutenat Cross was uofortunately standing at the window, and the ‘sheep's ‘oot’ hit him violently in the abdomen. We were 80 anxious to get home to our parents that we didn’t stop to see how much he was injured; but he informed usa few years since that he experienced considerable pain for several days afterwards. Inreading of the Lieutenant's doings in Arizona, we could not help — on record our remarkable contest with im. He came West, and worked as a journeyman printer in Cinncinnati some time. He then wrote sketches for the Times, and traveled all over the Union as special correspondent of that exeellent Western journal. His effusions, under the name of “Richard Everett.’’ were copied far and wide. They usually related to historical subjects, and were remarkable for their accuracy, vigor, and terseness, He liked to write of American battles, and bis wrtings ever breathed a lofty spirit of patriotiem. About a year agohe went to Arizona. He was cool-headed and brave, und would have succeeded gloriously asasoldier. The story of his assassination Jooks something like a ca nard, and we shall hope to see it contradicted. If true, a gallant and big hearted man sleeps in Arizona, far away from home and kindred.— Cleveland Plaindealer. A Cruet Morukr.—The scientific world of Paris was recently delighted at the production of a little bippa tamus by the large hippoptamus in the Jardin des Plantes. The little hip was frisky, and a gk ined to live and thrive, but alas for ertainty of life! The mother, which gave Mirth to her offspring in the water, seemedgat first quite fond of it, gave it nutriment, allowed it to lie on her back and neck. But one night, in a sudden fit of rage, she seized the young one with her for midable jawe and killed it. This is the second time that she has been guilty of infanticide, having repulsed her first offepring, not even allow suck. When she has another baby it wil from ber and brought up “by band. ss Agriculture en the Plats.

Their position and extent may be easily understood, in stating that they are comprised within the meridian line on the west side of Louisians, the boundaries of Arkansas, Missouri, and Iowa for their eastern limi:, and the Rocky Mountain crest for their western, with Texas at the south, and the Arctic coast on the north, embracing a longitudinal parallelogram.of somewhat less than 1,000 miles in width, They have a gentle slope from the west to the east, abounding in rivers, running si. lertly in the Missouri, Mississippi, the St. Lawtence, and to the Texan coast. homogenious formation, slightly undulating and continuous, without timbered space or lake. The soil, though compact, is a fine cacareous mould, producing an abundance of herbage peculiarly adapted to the climate. During temporary prevalence of muist atmosphere, in the spring, the delicate “Gramma”’ and “Buffalo’’ grass flourish. and are cured into hay apon the ground by the gradual returving . drought. It is upon this longitudinal belt of perennial pasture that the buffalo flads bie winter food, subsisting upon it without regard to latitude ; and here, are found vast numbers of wild horses, the antelope, the elk, and numer ous other animals peculiar to the continent, As the larger portion of the “Great Platns’’ lies withtn the temperate zone, the position with respect to climate is favorable to intelleetual and physical developement, health, and longevity. The ‘seasons are comparatively rainless, except during the melting of the snow on the immense mountain masses beyond, when the rivers swell like the Nile, and yield a copions evaporation in their long courses, causing the &torm-clouds to gather ou the sumits, roll down their flanks, and discharge themselves over the earth in vernal showers. phere is almost perpetually brilliant with an azure sky, tonic, bealthy, and inspiriting to the tempere, corresponding to, if not surpassing, that of the historic climates of Arabir and Syria, whence we have inherited all that is ethereal and refined in our system of civilization. The “Great Plains’ abound in fuel, the ma. terials-for fencing, and the coustraction. of dwellings. Bituminous coal is abundantly iuterstratified with the calcareous and sandstoue formations, as well asin the flanks of the mouutains, are easily obtained. The dung of the buffalo is scattered everywhere, and readily burns when dry. The order of vegetable growth in many respects being reversed by the aridity of the atmosphere, what appear above as mere shrubs insinuate themselves deep into the earth, and form below an immense arboscent growth. Fuel of wood is therefore foand by mining, or digging, instead of felling trees. Freestone, limestone, plaster, clay and sand occur to an unlimited extent. adobe brick, hardened in the sun without fire, supercedes other materials for walls and fences in these arid regions, and, as in Egypt and Syria, for centuries resist decay. The dwellings thus formed are of the most healthy kind, being impervious to heat and cold, damp and wind. These regions embrace an ample proportion of arable soil for farms. The *bottoms”’ of the rivers are broad and level, being only a few inches of elevation above their waters. They may be easily and cheaply saturated by means of artificial irrigation. Under this treatment, . the soil being alluvial and calcareous, both . They are of . The atmos. . The large and economical . Gotp—Tuen anv Now.—It is interesting to examine the golden statisties of the days of Cortez and Pizarro, and those of the present golden era, aud the effeet of gold mining on the world, Says a statistician :--“Up to the fifteenth century, Europe was excessively poor, The precions metals were rare and relatively valuable. There does not appear to have been above two bundred millions of them in circulation. It was not till after «che. discovery of America that they begav to increase. After that they grew rapidly abundant, co that between 1570 and 1630 gold deteriorated iv value full two-thirds—a tract proved by tbe other fact that corn sold for three times as much at the latter period as at the former, Chevalier, a writer on political economy of great reliability, states that the gress amount received from the mines of America for three centuries after Columbns, touched the enormous sum of $600,000,000 !—being an average of $20,000,000 per year. This increase in the precious metals, prior tu the discovery of gold in California, altered all the relationships of value and comparative worth of commodities, But during that time, as now, labor, clerk hire. &c., were the j last to be remunerated pari passu with the de‘creasing value of the metals and increasing . price of liv ng. Capitalists and rich men gen. erally reaped a century of double benefit, half from increased amounts of gold, half from la. bor hired at a rate relative not to the new staudard, but the old, From 1849 to 1859. the . inerease of gold from California alone bar been at more than double the rate of the income . from 1570 to 1680. The rise in the valoe of real estate and the price of living bas increas fed very nearly in the exact ratio of the increase of gold.

Puurir Wit.—In Pennsy!vania there is a clergyman almost as remarkable for eloquence and eccentrivity as Lorenzo Dow himself. Ou charity occasions his pathos, wit, and sometimes bitter satire, are sure to win more bank notes and gold coin to the plate than the decorous eloquence of balf a dozen other mea, Ou a late occasion he was preaching a temperance sermon, which produced uuusual etfect on the audience. Among other things, he asserted, as a result of bis own observation, that a conufessedly “moderate drivker’’ wag sure to become a confirmed -inebriate within five years after be reached that age of indulgence. He was interrupted bere by a man iu the audience, who started up iu great excitement, proclaiming himself a moderate drinker of teu years standing, and one on whom the* babit made no progress, The clergyman stopped short, leaned over the pulpit; and when the man had ceased speaking. called out: “T say, friend,:staud up here and let me have a look at you.’’ The man made an effort to brave the host of eyes turned upon bim, and stood bis ground. “Nearer, man!’ cried the minister, beckouing with his long finger. ‘Hulda light up to this brother’s face some of you. Step up on the bench and give us a good look.” The moderate drinker was not to be looked down or talked down, and nov only mounted the bench, but allowed a lamp to be held close to his face. The minister bent over the cushion, aud gave the face a lung survey. “That will do,’’ said he, drawing back, *‘that will do. my friend, and now I say if I owed the devil adebt of a bundred drankards, and bad aid him ninety-nine, and he wouldu’t take you o full payment at the end of five years, I would never pay him!’ Tue most singular lyinching operation om record recently took place at Suuth Beud, Io diana. The ladies of that place assembled to the number of two hundred, and lyuched a woman of: ill:fame. tarring and feathering her. The proceeding does vot seem to have had th unqualified approval of the entire male popu lation. Two young men, bowever, rushed in and helped the ladies smear with tar and feath ers well the erring oue, The embodied male population of course did nct make an attack , upon the female lynchers, but they took in band . the volunteer young men, and lyuched them in the moat approved style. ge ALL ORDERS PUNCTUALLY ATTENDED 10," WM.

The invention consixts of forcing Quicksilver inte blocks of wood, which are used as false bottoms for sluices, thereby giving a Quicksilver surface until the blocks are worn out, As the blocks are gradually worn by the gravel. a fresh supply of Quicksilver is constantly exposed, ready to amalgamate the gold that comes in contact with them, The machines for forcing Quicksilver into the blocks, are of simple construction, and durable, One man can press n one hundred pounds of Quicksilver ina day, which will give a hundred feet of Quicksilver surface, and the process is easily learned. The shop eost of the machines, are from $14 to $20, according to the size. The following letters from practial Miners at Michigan Bluffs, Placer County, where the PATENT RIFFLES were first introduced, will show the estimation in which they are held by those who have used them :— MicuiGan BLurrs, Mareh 28th 1859. Mr. Briggs, Sir :—I have used your Patent Quicksilver Block Riffles, and cnnsider them the best method for saving fine gold I have ever used. J used them on the American River this last summer, and found that by using them, I could save at least one-fourth more gold, than by anv other Riffles now in use. Hoping that your Riffles will be extensively introduced throughout the State, and meet with the success they deserve, I remain ours truly, GEORGE E, BENNET, MicmiGan Biurrs, April 10th 1859.

Cross, who recently fought a duel in Arizona, with Lieut. Mowry, was assassinated in Tucson, bis place of risidence, shortly after the duel, heobating to aCincianati paper. His duel with Mowry was a strange, dare-devil affair. They fought with rifles, both being crack shots. They popped away at each other four times without effect. In the fourth fire Cross’ rifle went off prematurely, and the se conde decided that Mowry was entitled toa shot alone, So the brave Cross threw his rifle aside, calmly folded his arms, and told Mowry to blazeaway. The generous Mowry did blaze, but be blazed into air. The belligerents then made up, and we hoped Cross would have uo more desperate fights for the present. But it seems his dogs barked at some Mexicans; Mexicans drew knives on dogs ; Cross told them to let the dogs alone, calling them off at the same time ; Mexicans fell on Cross and cut him to pieces. Thus goes the story. It may not be true. But you know they do this sort of thing in Arizona, We knew E. E. Cross very well. He instructed us in the mysteries and. miseries of type-setting in Coos county, N. H., some eara ago. He was First Lieutevant of the Greys, and was rather proud of his position. He went to get his uniform one training day, but could not find it, He was forced to train witha red scarfand diugy old cutlass, that being the only unirorm be could raise. In the evening a crazy old town panper (who fancied be was Napoleon Bonaparte) was dug out of a woodshed with Cross’ uniform on. He was in a etate of extreme intoxication, and the uniform, once so bright and gay, was now beameared with mud, etc, The Lieutenant was quite angry, and accueed ue of rigging the panr out in his beautiful military clothes. We ad a slight falling out, in which the Lieutenant fell somewhat heavily upon us, and, as he was a man grown, and very stout and we were quite small and young, we can safely say that we never experienced such intense anxiety in our life. At the end of the desperate contest we found ourself at the foot of the printing-office stairs. We thought we would print no more.in that building. We hada ‘sheep’s foot” in ous hands, and thinking we might be accused of theft if we carried it away. we stepout into the street and threw it up through the window. Lieutenat Cross was uofortunately standing at the window, and the ‘sheep's ‘oot’ hit him violently in the abdomen. We were 80 anxious to get home to our parents that we didn’t stop to see how much he was injured; but he informed usa few years since that he experienced considerable pain for several days afterwards. Inreading of the Lieutenant's doings in Arizona, we could not help — on record our remarkable contest with im. He came West, and worked as a journeyman printer in Cinncinnati some time. He then wrote sketches for the Times, and traveled all over the Union as special correspondent of that exeellent Western journal. His effusions, under the name of “Richard Everett.’’ were copied far and wide. They usually related to historical subjects, and were remarkable for their accuracy, vigor, and terseness, He liked to write of American battles, and bis wrtings ever breathed a lofty spirit of patriotiem. About a year agohe went to Arizona. He was cool-headed and brave, und would have succeeded gloriously asasoldier. The story of his assassination Jooks something like a ca nard, and we shall hope to see it contradicted. If true, a gallant and big hearted man sleeps in Arizona, far away from home and kindred.— Cleveland Plaindealer. A Cruet Morukr.—The scientific world of Paris was recently delighted at the production of a little bippa tamus by the large hippoptamus in the Jardin des Plantes. The little hip was frisky, and a gk ined to live and thrive, but alas for ertainty of life! The mother, which gave Mirth to her offspring in the water, seemedgat first quite fond of it, gave it nutriment, allowed it to lie on her back and neck. But one night, in a sudden fit of rage, she seized the young one with her for midable jawe and killed it. This is the second time that she has been guilty of infanticide, having repulsed her first offepring, not even allow suck. When she has another baby it wil from ber and brought up “by band. ss Agriculture en the Plats.

Their position and extent may be easily understood, in stating that they are comprised within the meridian line on the west side of Louisians, the boundaries of Arkansas, Missouri, and Iowa for their eastern limi:, and the Rocky Mountain crest for their western, with Texas at the south, and the Arctic coast on the north, embracing a longitudinal parallelogram.of somewhat less than 1,000 miles in width, They have a gentle slope from the west to the east, abounding in rivers, running si. lertly in the Missouri, Mississippi, the St. Lawtence, and to the Texan coast. homogenious formation, slightly undulating and continuous, without timbered space or lake. The soil, though compact, is a fine cacareous mould, producing an abundance of herbage peculiarly adapted to the climate. During temporary prevalence of muist atmosphere, in the spring, the delicate “Gramma”’ and “Buffalo’’ grass flourish. and are cured into hay apon the ground by the gradual returving . drought. It is upon this longitudinal belt of perennial pasture that the buffalo flads bie winter food, subsisting upon it without regard to latitude ; and here, are found vast numbers of wild horses, the antelope, the elk, and numer ous other animals peculiar to the continent, As the larger portion of the “Great Platns’’ lies withtn the temperate zone, the position with respect to climate is favorable to intelleetual and physical developement, health, and longevity. The ‘seasons are comparatively rainless, except during the melting of the snow on the immense mountain masses beyond, when the rivers swell like the Nile, and yield a copions evaporation in their long courses, causing the &torm-clouds to gather ou the sumits, roll down their flanks, and discharge themselves over the earth in vernal showers. phere is almost perpetually brilliant with an azure sky, tonic, bealthy, and inspiriting to the tempere, corresponding to, if not surpassing, that of the historic climates of Arabir and Syria, whence we have inherited all that is ethereal and refined in our system of civilization. The “Great Plains’ abound in fuel, the ma. terials-for fencing, and the coustraction. of dwellings. Bituminous coal is abundantly iuterstratified with the calcareous and sandstoue formations, as well asin the flanks of the mouutains, are easily obtained. The dung of the buffalo is scattered everywhere, and readily burns when dry. The order of vegetable growth in many respects being reversed by the aridity of the atmosphere, what appear above as mere shrubs insinuate themselves deep into the earth, and form below an immense arboscent growth. Fuel of wood is therefore foand by mining, or digging, instead of felling trees. Freestone, limestone, plaster, clay and sand occur to an unlimited extent. adobe brick, hardened in the sun without fire, supercedes other materials for walls and fences in these arid regions, and, as in Egypt and Syria, for centuries resist decay. The dwellings thus formed are of the most healthy kind, being impervious to heat and cold, damp and wind. These regions embrace an ample proportion of arable soil for farms. The *bottoms”’ of the rivers are broad and level, being only a few inches of elevation above their waters. They may be easily and cheaply saturated by means of artificial irrigation. Under this treatment, . the soil being alluvial and calcareous, both . They are of . The atmos. . The large and economical . Gotp—Tuen anv Now.—It is interesting to examine the golden statisties of the days of Cortez and Pizarro, and those of the present golden era, aud the effeet of gold mining on the world, Says a statistician :--“Up to the fifteenth century, Europe was excessively poor, The precions metals were rare and relatively valuable. There does not appear to have been above two bundred millions of them in circulation. It was not till after «che. discovery of America that they begav to increase. After that they grew rapidly abundant, co that between 1570 and 1630 gold deteriorated iv value full two-thirds—a tract proved by tbe other fact that corn sold for three times as much at the latter period as at the former, Chevalier, a writer on political economy of great reliability, states that the gress amount received from the mines of America for three centuries after Columbns, touched the enormous sum of $600,000,000 !—being an average of $20,000,000 per year. This increase in the precious metals, prior tu the discovery of gold in California, altered all the relationships of value and comparative worth of commodities, But during that time, as now, labor, clerk hire. &c., were the j last to be remunerated pari passu with the de‘creasing value of the metals and increasing . price of liv ng. Capitalists and rich men gen. erally reaped a century of double benefit, half from increased amounts of gold, half from la. bor hired at a rate relative not to the new staudard, but the old, From 1849 to 1859. the . inerease of gold from California alone bar been at more than double the rate of the income . from 1570 to 1680. The rise in the valoe of real estate and the price of living bas increas fed very nearly in the exact ratio of the increase of gold.

Puurir Wit.—In Pennsy!vania there is a clergyman almost as remarkable for eloquence and eccentrivity as Lorenzo Dow himself. Ou charity occasions his pathos, wit, and sometimes bitter satire, are sure to win more bank notes and gold coin to the plate than the decorous eloquence of balf a dozen other mea, Ou a late occasion he was preaching a temperance sermon, which produced uuusual etfect on the audience. Among other things, he asserted, as a result of bis own observation, that a conufessedly “moderate drivker’’ wag sure to become a confirmed -inebriate within five years after be reached that age of indulgence. He was interrupted bere by a man iu the audience, who started up iu great excitement, proclaiming himself a moderate drinker of teu years standing, and one on whom the* babit made no progress, The clergyman stopped short, leaned over the pulpit; and when the man had ceased speaking. called out: “T say, friend,:staud up here and let me have a look at you.’’ The man made an effort to brave the host of eyes turned upon bim, and stood bis ground. “Nearer, man!’ cried the minister, beckouing with his long finger. ‘Hulda light up to this brother’s face some of you. Step up on the bench and give us a good look.” The moderate drinker was not to be looked down or talked down, and nov only mounted the bench, but allowed a lamp to be held close to his face. The minister bent over the cushion, aud gave the face a lung survey. “That will do,’’ said he, drawing back, *‘that will do. my friend, and now I say if I owed the devil adebt of a bundred drankards, and bad aid him ninety-nine, and he wouldu’t take you o full payment at the end of five years, I would never pay him!’ Tue most singular lyinching operation om record recently took place at Suuth Beud, Io diana.

The invention consixts of forcing Quicksilver inte blocks of wood, which are used as false bottoms for sluices, thereby giving a Quicksilver surface until the blocks are worn out, As the blocks are gradually worn by the gravel. a fresh supply of Quicksilver is constantly exposed, ready to amalgamate the gold that comes in contact with them, The machines for forcing Quicksilver into the blocks, are of simple construction, and durable, One man can press n one hundred pounds of Quicksilver ina day, which will give a hundred feet of Quicksilver surface, and the process is easily learned. The shop eost of the machines, are from $14 to $20, according to the size. The following letters from practial Miners at Michigan Bluffs, Placer County, where the PATENT RIFFLES were first introduced, will show the estimation in which they are held by those who have used them :— MicuiGan BLurrs, Mareh 28th 1859. Mr. Briggs, Sir :—I have used your Patent Quicksilver Block Riffles, and cnnsider them the best method for saving fine gold I have ever used. J used them on the American River this last summer, and found that by using them, I could save at least one-fourth more gold, than by anv other Riffles now in use. Hoping that your Riffles will be extensively introduced throughout the State, and meet with the success they deserve, I remain ours truly, GEORGE E, BENNET, MicmiGan Biurrs, April 10th 1859. Mr. Briggs, Sir :—I have used your Patent Amalgamating Rifle. and am satisfied that it isa good invention ; we have cleaned up more, and finer gold, than we ever did vefore in the same length of time. There has not been as much wash running in the gulch as there will be by and by. as the boys have not all commenced washing pay dirt yet. Yours truly, CHAs. W. COOK.
