Many strangers were a’ little skeptical about the chair, and it was passed around to convince them that-there was no: moonshine about it.” * INVOLUNTARY MERRIMENT AT A FUNERAL.—A most extraordinary case is now trying before one of the French courts. A certain M1. C. died, leaving an express order to his heirs that he should be buried in . church, and—a—handeome—sum_paid to the ping twice to stand’on his head; recline on his” proceeding sbout 100 feet, he adjusted his’ side, where he was greeted by, a crowd of . ‘ , dise el big trees ‘situated in‘i mne ¢ ‘One Baker, of San Francisco, has alsé visited the new . . state that C. L. Baker, mercantile agent, of this city, personally visited the big alta-" ded to, one of which. he measured from a seaffolding twelve feet above the ground.— Two tape lines were put together for the purpose, and the tree was found to be one hundred and twenty-three feet in circumference, or twenty-sévon-feet larger round than the largest tree in. the Caleverss group, and twenty-four feet larger rourd than the largest reported in the Mariposa group. Baker and his friends cut for two hours, with an axe, trying to get through the bark; but unsuccessfully. Farley measured one’ of the’ newly discovered group himself, (by no means the largest), and found it te be ninety-nine feet in circumference. trees, while the Eastern Tulate group is a forest, not less than eight miles in extent. TEMPERANCE Rum.—One day not léng ed a lighted candle into a keg of gunpowder, which began to burn, but with great presence of mind he dzshed intoit a couple of quarts of his best rum, which extinguished the fire and saved his powder! That powder will be capital for-salutes by minority parties, on the occasion of great victories.during the coming sais > JuDGE STipGer.—A. letter to us from this gentleman, dat.d the 19th, written, as’ -he states, while lying on his back, givés a favorable view of his condition; He ex $in Juan early next werk. en annem .

REPATRING—This branch of the business teccives-our-speciat_attention._—_—_—_—_—#817-hna priests on condition that ‘nobody should laugh while the service was going on.” The intélligent defunct had observed that undertukers and priests permit themselves often to take hilarious liberties with death, and he was determined that he should be buried with the gravity appropriate to the grave. O. course the odd request got noised abroad ; all body keeping an eye on everybudy else to see that nobody should so much as wink, the natural result followed. A fat priest near the coffin was the first to break down; the choir boys, in the frailty of their youth, followed the fat priest; the minor Ganons, trying to stop the choir boys, or at least to muke them “laugh out of the wrong side of their mouths,” caught the contsgion and began to shake their sides; the deacons were off next into a full guffaw; and finally, the cure himself Was Couquered, and choked in his handkerchief. In short, a merrier interment was néver witnessed. It was the joke of the season. But the heirs, not liking the sport, have refused to pay the clergy for their rollicking services, and the matter is now in court, where it will doubtless cease to be alaughing matter with any body but the ‘lawyers. ‘ es Freunbiry.—The Tuolumne Courier extols the fine fruits and vegetables raised in that county. Amongst the curiosities of Columbia in vegetables, is a vine containing two hundred and seventeen full grown squashes. <Tae.Cause.—The reason why Dorland, alias Thompson, was so unmercifully beaten on Sunday night, September 16th, says the San Francisco Nation, was that when Collins returned home from his labor he discovered Dorland occupying his place by the side of ‘Mrs. Collins beneath the “kiver.” —‘This would naturally cause a man to feel a} trifle angry, ard Collins is huinan. Seizing the interloper by the throat, Collins pummeled him gcitil he was tired, and then pitched him, like a buctdle of rags, into the street’ If there is Bue tating which a person deserves for ucting as Dor'land did, it is a good kicking. THe Drrer.“NCe.—One great difference between Japan anu the United States is, that if you iasult aman thee, he rips his own bowels out; while if yo insult one here, he rips owt yours. greatly; owing to the large decrease in the black population.and consequent rise of Weges.

On the route he lay down on bis back and turned a summerset backward. ‘About 5 o’elock, Blonéin started out with a stereoscope, for the purpose of taking a:view of his grounds on the American side: After instrument, leveling it’ at. his friends at this side: Again the gynmast’ appeared on his cable, this time with a ‘chair on his back He soon had occasidn to rest, and not only sat down but stood on the rounds of the chair and balanced in. the various postures. When near the center of the rope he again went through several bulancing feats. He stood up in the chair and also sat on the top of the back of it. We leave our readers to rope; high over the roaring rapids of the Niagara, and quietly sitting on the back of an ordinary sized chuir. If any one of our readers think they could enjoy a tete-a-tete with him in such # position, they have more darin than we give them crédit-for. Itis syfficient to state the fact without any hifalutin language-inthe description. With but-a_tittleother performing he came to .the American admirers. Many strangers were a’ little skeptical about the chair, and it was passed around to convince them that-there was no: moonshine about it.” * INVOLUNTARY MERRIMENT AT A FUNERAL.—A most extraordinary case is now trying before one of the French courts. A certain M1.

Baker and his friends cut for two hours, with an axe, trying to get through the bark; but unsuccessfully.

TEMPERANCE Rum.—One day not léng ed a lighted candle into a keg of gunpowder, which began to burn, but with great presence of mind he dzshed intoit a couple of quarts of his best rum, which extinguished the fire and saved his powder!

REPATRING—This branch of the business teccives-our-speciat_attention._—_—_—_—_—#817-hna priests on condition that ‘nobody should laugh while the service was going on.” The intélligent defunct had observed that undertukers and priests permit themselves often to take hilarious liberties with death, and he was determined that he should be buried with the gravity appropriate to the grave. O. course the odd request got noised abroad ; all body keeping an eye on everybudy else to see that nobody should so much as wink, the natural result followed. A fat priest near the coffin was the first to break down; the choir boys, in the frailty of their youth, followed the fat priest; the minor Ganons, trying to stop the choir boys, or at least to muke them “laugh out of the wrong side of their mouths,” caught the contsgion and began to shake their sides; the deacons were off next into a full guffaw; and finally, the cure himself Was Couquered, and choked in his handkerchief. In short, a merrier interment was néver witnessed. It was the joke of the season. But the heirs, not liking the sport, have refused to pay the clergy for their rollicking services, and the matter is now in court, where it will doubtless cease to be alaughing matter with any body but the ‘lawyers. ‘ es Freunbiry.—The Tuolumne Courier extols the fine fruits and vegetables raised in that county. Amongst the curiosities of Columbia in vegetables, is a vine containing two hundred and seventeen full grown squashes. <Tae.Cause.—The reason why Dorland, alias Thompson, was so unmercifully beaten on Sunday night, September 16th, says the San Francisco Nation, was that when Collins returned home from his labor he discovered Dorland occupying his place by the side of ‘Mrs. Collins beneath the “kiver.” —‘This would naturally cause a man to feel a} trifle angry, ard Collins is huinan. Seizing the interloper by the throat, Collins pummeled him gcitil he was tired, and then pitched him, like a buctdle of rags, into the street’ If there is Bue tating which a person deserves for ucting as Dor'land did, it is a good kicking.
