piece of paper, as was ‘also: the” silver.
Three silver Spanish dollars were in a pa-
per by themselves,-and on the outside of
the paper was the word: death” in. large
letters. The silver waa considerably cor-
roded, but the gold was bright. The dates
on the gold pieces were from 1733 to 1764,

twenty-four pieces of gold, the yalue of
which was from $2.50 to $16.50.0002...%.
The building where the money’ sas
found was about one. hundred years old,
and was known as the Stiles Mansion, A
great many queer stories have been told in
relation to this building, as being the head-
quarters of ghosts and fairies, and there is
at present plenty of persons living there
who believe they have actually seen them.

dulgent mother of her young hopeful, who
had preceded her in arising one morning.
“Willie, dear, what have you done with
mamma’s stockings ?” :
“Put ’em in the sweetmeat pot,” cried
the davling little creature.

lowing description of a, specimen of the zo-
ology of Catifornia, in‘an’ animal allied to
the. genus’ porcupine, procured from) Mr.
Samucl Boose, of Sonora. | The animal was
killed at,a place known as “ Bell’s Mead-
ows,” twenty-six miles from Sonora,» Its
length is about two and a half: feet, and
quite bulky, covered with short, stout spines
near three inches in length, and more thick-

pointed, and flexible armature of the same
character, The’ skin is of a reddish brown,
and covered ‘seantily with long, coarse
Dlack hair; the tail is about ten inches in
length, thick, and containing a plentiful
supply of the firm quills, which also cover
the body. | ‘The animal, when’ alive, must
have weighed about fifty pounds; and judz-
ing from general appearance, would have
been. rather formidable in close contact.
It was sent by Mr. Boose to the Academy
of Science in’ San Francisco, to be placeil
in the cabinet of that institution. ‘The an-

speaking upon’ the violation of the Missouri
Compromise, made the following observa-
tions: Sep bee '
“T hear men noiv say that although they
opposed it at’ first, they-are! now willing
toacquiesce in it; and if they! are, let us
take them at their word, but let us.first un-
derstand what they mean by’ acquiescence.
It is’ not ‘sufficient’ that’ they shall. not seek
to disturb Nebraska aud. Kansas; but they
must acquiesce also in the principle, and ap-
ply it inall time to come, when the question
of the admission of any- new State arises,
whether it be Nebraska, Kansas, Oregon,
Mexico, Cuba, or the Sandwich Islands.”
