Hout, Postmaster General. Post Office Denortment, July 23, 1860. AN incident occurred to one of the trains lately arrived, overland. In:accordance with the prevailing eustom of bringing household furniture across the plains, a lady put her piano on the wagon. On the desert the freight had to be light. ened, as the teams were giving out ; atid the piano went overboard much to the lady’s grief. As the record ends here, we can only imagine the ultimate fate ofthe poor instrument. It must have been a singular spectacle, ‘‘ left blooming alone *’ an exotic of refinement and socicty in the midst of barbarism and solitude. Perhaps it, was sealped and skinned by the dusty Pah Utes, and its sensitive chords and sinews laid bare.to the desert breeze. Very likely, copper-colored fingers ran . over the ivory keys discordantly, and the red devils danced around it. Perhaps, havirig strip-_ ped it, their curiosity gratifled, they Aeftit alone for the pitying winds to come to ity‘and whisper to its broken chords, and.so work it up to sing its own sad requiem. And it is very possible that coming emigrants, creeping along the desert at nightfall, shall hear delicious melody swept mys. teriously over the waste, like Ariel’s music on Prospero’s sands—the last and sweetest red@rd of the first piano in the wilderness.—Golden Era. CEensus ITEMS.—The census brings to licht . many items of interest. In Philadelphia, aceording to the Ledger : “* The census takers reporta number of persons that have passed their 100th year, the oldest one being 117 years of age,' and still in tolerable health. In nearly every ward, people of 160, 105, 106, 110, etc., have been reported. The remarkable circumstance attending the taking of the present eensus, is the fact that scarcely an American-has been found that cannot read or write. In one family, consisting of husband, wife and children, some of whom were grown, nota single individual ofit could be found able to read or even write. But cases like this are very rare, particularly where the parties have becn in this country any length of time.” “ Joun” ON THE F1GHT.—The Placer county Enquirer, says: ‘* A Chinaman got into a dispute recently, when the teamster commenced beating the Chinaman over the head with the butt end of his whip, which John not relishing, drew a bowie knife and struck the teamster on-the knee, inflicting aslight wound. The Chinaman was arrested but the teamster refusing to prosecute, he was liberated.’ Xr One of the strangest phenomena in nature has recently developed itself near Horse Lake, in Wisconsin. Flames of firecome up through the earth in several localities, and one man’s barn has been burned down by it. Strange to say, the fire can only be seen. in the daytime; the earth in the evening bearing a. close resemblance to phosphorus. The air.gmells-as if impregnated with sulphur. ; <i STATE Fair.—There will soon be busy fimes in Sacramento, for to-day—19th of September—is the beginning of fhe Agricultural Fair. Judging from the Sacramento papers, we are induced fo believe.that it will far transcend all previous affairs of the kind. A grand display of stock is expected. &r A connection of the Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of Mexico, by the Florida railway has been made. The road extends from Fernandina to the Florida Keys, and fs 154 miles-in length. The maximum grade is twenty feet to the mile, and the rail laid down weighs sixty pounds to the yard. The whole cost of construction has been about $3,500,000. ~~ ~ — An enterprising chap has pure hased Mount Vesuvius, and intends studding the lava surface of ‘ts precipitous declivity with villas, hotels, a,» *her places of recreation, amusement ani a¢con ‘mo dation of the English tourists.

Hout, Postmaster General. Post Office Denortment, July 23, 1860. AN incident occurred to one of the trains lately arrived, overland. In:accordance with the prevailing eustom of bringing household furniture across the plains, a lady put her piano on the wagon. On the desert the freight had to be light.. ened, as the teams were giving out ; atid the piano went overboard much to the lady’s grief. As the record ends here, we can only imagine the ultimate fate ofthe poor instrument. It must have been a singular spectacle, ‘‘ left blooming alone *’ an exotic of refinement and socicty in the midst of barbarism and solitude. Perhaps it, was sealped and skinned by the dusty Pah Utes, and its sensitive chords and sinews laid bare.to the desert breeze. Very likely, copper-colored fingers ran . over the ivory keys discordantly, and the red devils danced around it. Perhaps, havirig strip-_ ped it, their curiosity gratifled, they Aeftit alone for the pitying winds to come to ity‘and whisper to its broken chords, and.so work it up to sing its own sad requiem. And it is very possible that coming emigrants, creeping along the desert at nightfall, shall hear delicious melody swept mys. teriously over the waste, like Ariel’s music on Prospero’s sands—the last and sweetest red@rd of the first piano in the wilderness.—Golden Era. CEensus ITEMS.—The census brings to licht . many items of interest. In Philadelphia, aceording to the Ledger : “* The census takers reporta number of persons that have passed their 100th year, the oldest one being 117 years of age,' and still in tolerable health. In nearly every ward, people of 160, 105, 106, 110, etc., have been reported. The remarkable circumstance attending the taking of the present eensus, is the fact that scarcely an American-has been found that cannot read or write. In one family, consisting of husband, wife and children, some of whom were grown, nota single individual ofit could be found able to read or even write. But cases like this are very rare, particularly where the parties have becn in this country any length of time.” “ Joun” ON THE F1GHT.—The Placer county Enquirer, says: ‘* A Chinaman got into a dispute recently, when the teamster commenced beating the Chinaman over the head with the butt end of his whip, which John not relishing, drew a bowie knife and struck the teamster on-the knee, inflicting aslight wound. The Chinaman was arrested but the teamster refusing to prosecute, he was liberated.’ Xr One of the strangest phenomena in nature has recently developed itself near Horse Lake, in Wisconsin. Flames of firecome up through the earth in several localities, and one man’s barn has been burned down by it. Strange to say, the fire can only be seen. in the daytime; the earth in the evening bearing a. close resemblance to phosphorus. The air.gmells-as if impregnated with sulphur. ; <i STATE Fair.—There will soon be busy fimes in Sacramento, for to-day—19th of September—is the beginning of fhe Agricultural Fair. Judging from the Sacramento papers, we are induced fo believe.that it will far transcend all previous affairs of the kind.

The road extends from Fernandina to the Florida Keys, and fs 154 miles-in length. The maximum grade is twenty feet to the mile, and the rail laid down weighs sixty pounds to the yard. The whole cost of construction has been about $3,500,000. ~~ ~ — An enterprising chap has pure hased Mount Vesuvius, and intends studding the lava surface of ‘ts precipitous declivity with villas, hotels, a,» *her places of recreation, amusement ani a¢con ‘mo dation of the English tourists.
