MR. BROWN'S MISHAPS. Mr. Eliphalet Brown was a bachelor of thirty- five or thereabouts ; one of those men who aecm to be born to pass through the world alone. Save this peculiarity, there was nothing lo d -tinguish Mr. Brown from the multitude of olher Browns who are born, grow up and die in this world of ours. It chanced that Mr, Brown had occasion to visit a town some fifty miles distant, on matters of business. It was his first visit to the place, and he proposed stopping for a day, in order to give himself an opportunity to look about. Walking leisurely along the street, he was all aj once accosted by a child of five, who ran up to him exclaiming : "Father I want you to buy me some more candy." '* Father [" was it possible that he was addressed by lhat title ? He could not believe it. " Who were you speaking to, ray dear ?" he inquired ofthe little girl. •' I spoke to you, father," said the Utile one. surprised ? " Really," thought Mr. Brown, ■'■ this is embar rassiug." " I am not your father, my dcar,"he said, " what is your name V The child laughed heartily, evidently thinking it a good joke. " What a funny father you are," she said ; " bul you are going to buy mo some candy." •'les. yes, I'll buy you a pound, if you won't call me father any more," said Brown, nervously. Tho little girl clapped her hands with delight.— The promise was all she remembered. Mr. Brown proceeded to a confectionery store- aad actually bought a pound of candy, which he placed in tbe hands of the little girl. In coming out ofthe store they encountered the oliil3,a m'oUiet. " Oh, mother," said the little girl, "just see how much candy father has bought me." You shouldn't have bought her so much at a time, Mr. Jouee," said the lady, '-I'm afraid she will make herself Bick. But how did you happen to get home so quick 1 I did not expect you till night." " JoneB—I— madame," said the embarrassed Mr. Brown, •' it's ail a mstake ; I ain't Jones af all. It isn't my name. I am Eliphalet Brown, of W , and this is the first time I ever came into thk-city " " Good heavens! Mr. Jones, what has put this silly tale iuto your head ? Yon have concluded to change your name, have you ? perhaps it's your intention to change your wife?" Mrs. Jones'tone was now defiant, and this^tended to increase Mr. Brown's embarrassment. " I havn't any wife, madame ; I never had any On my word as a gentleman, never was married.11 ''And do you intend to palm this tale off upon me?" said Mrs. Jones, with excitement "Ifyou are not married, I'd like lo know who I am V> •'I have no doubt you are a most respcctabl lady," said Mr. Brown, '-'and I conjecture, from what you have said, that your name is, Jones; but mine is Brown, madame, and always was." "Melinda," said her mother, suddenly taking her child by the arm, and leading her np to Mr- Brown, " Melinda, who is this gentleman ." " Why, that's father ."'was the child's immedi. ate reply, as sbc confidently placed her hand in his. " Y ou hear that, Mr. Jones, do you ? You hear what the innocent child says, and yet you have the unblushing impudence to deny that you are my husband 1 The voice of nature, speaking (hrou"h the child, should overwhelmn you. I'd like to know, if you are not her father, why you arc buy ing candy for her ? I would like to havo you an- swerthat. But I presume you never saw her before in your life." " I never did. On my honor, I never did. I told her I would give her the candy if she wouldn't call mo father any more." "You did, did yon? Bribed your child not to call you father ? Oh, Mr. Jones, that is infamous t Do you intend to desert me, sir, and leave mc to the cold charities of the world ? And is this your first step?" Mrs. Junes was so overcome that, without any "warning, she fell back upon the sidewalk in a fainting fit. Instantly a number Qf persons went to her assistance. " Is yoar wife subject lo fainting ia this way ?" "I don't know/' said Mr. Brown, " she isn't my wife. I dou't kuow anything about her."' " Wby, it's -Mrs. Jones, ain't it?" " Yes, but I'm not Mr. Jones." "Sir." Said the Gist speaker sternly, " (hie ia no lime tojeM. i trust that you are nut tin ihe excitement •-.- bien must f wife's fainting iii. YouhadbeUereallacow-hanu carry Lef home." Poor Brown was dumbfounded. I Wonder, th rajht be-, whet ber it's possible thai I'm Mr. Jones without knowing if. Perhaps I'm really Jones, and have gone crazy, in consequence of which I fancy that my name is Brown. ■* ffe-11, sit, what arc you wailing lor?" __i_ necessary tbat yooi wife -diouki be removed a t once. Will you order a carriage V- 9u o: aused youi Brown saw there was uo use to prolong tbe discussion by a denial. He therefore, without contesting tbe point, ordered a hackney coach to the spot. Mr. Brown accordingly lent an arm to Mrs. Jones, . lu had to rr what recovered, aud was about to close tht1 door opt u her, " Why, are you not going yourself'.'" " Why, no ; wby should I?" '■Your wife shoi Id nol go alone ; she has hardly recovered." Brown gave a despairing si:;nee at the crowd around him. and deeming it useless to make opposition where ao many seemed thoroughly convinced that he was Mr. Jones. lowed the lady in. " Whero shall I drive ?" said the whip. " —I—I—don't know," Baid Mr. Brown,— " Where would you like to be carried ?" " Home, of course," murmured MxS.Jo&ee. " I dou't know," Said Brown. -No. li), II— street," said the gentleman already introduced, -Janting contemptuous!, a- Mr Brown, ■'■ Will you help mc out, Mr. Jones?" paid the lady, " I am uot fully recovered from the fainting fit iuto which your cruelty er ■;■-.- inc.''' ■'• Are yon quite sore "bat I am Mr. Jones?"— asked Brown wi ;i -ome anxiety. " Of course," said Mrs. Jones. MTb .'said Iip, resignedly, "I suppose I am But if you will believe me, I was firmly convinced tbis morning t at my name was Brown, and to tell the truth I havn't any reco lectiou of this house." Brown helped Mrs. Jones into the parlor, but good heavens, conceive tho astonishment of all, when a man was discovered seated in a i arm*~ht ir, who was the very fac -imile of Mr, Brown in form, feature, and every other re-pect ! " Gracious !" exclaimed the lady, " which— which is my husband ?" Ae explanation was given, the mystery cleared up, and Mr, Brown's pardon sought ior the embar_ rassiug mistake. It was freely accorded by Mr, Brown, who was quite delighted fo think that, after all, be was not Mr. Jones, with a wife and child to boot. Mr. Brown has not since visited the place where this "Comedy of Errois" happened. He is afraid af his identity. Character Toctter than Crcttit. We often bear young men who have crcdi* means, dolefully contrasting their lot with that of rich men's boos. Yet the longer we live the more we are convinced tba'. the old merchant who said to us when we- began to Ive. '■ Industry, my 'ad is better than ingots of gold, and character better than credit." We could famish, if need were, (rom our own experience, a score o:" illiirt to prove the truth of his remarks. In all branches of business, in ail avocations, ebaracer in the lot run is the best capital. Says Poor Richard. " The sound of your hammer at five iu the morning, or nine in the night, heard by a creditor, makes him easy for six months longer ; but if he sees you at the gambling table, or hears your voice at a tav_ em, when you should be at work, lie sends for his money the next day." What is true ofthe youaz mechanic, is also true of the young merchant or young lawyer. Old and sagacious firms wilt i o"- long continue to give credit for thousands oi dol* lars, wheu they see the purchaser, if a young man' driving fast horses, or lounging in a drinking saloon. Clients will not intrust their cases to advocates, however brilliant, who frequent the card table, the wine party, or the race-course. It is better in beginning life to secure a re; utation for industry and probity, than to own houses or lands- it with them you have no character. There is a vast deal of a certain kind oi originality about negro composition. Take this example of an illustration lately used by a colored ex* borter at an evening conference-meeting in Montgomery, Alabama : " My bredren, God bless your Bonis, 'ligiou Ia like de Alabama riber. In spring comes de fresh, an, he bring in all de ole logs, slabs an' sticks, dat hab been lyin' on de bank, aod carrying dem down in de current. Bimeby do water go down ; den a log cotch here on dis island, den a slab get cotched ou de shore, and de sticks ou de bushes; and dere dey lie, wid'riu aud dryin' till comes 'uodder fresh Jist so dere come 'vival of 'ligiou ; dis ole sinner bro't in, dat ole back-slider bro't back ; un' all de folk seem comin'—an' mighty good times. But, bredren, God bless your souls! den dis ole sinner is stuck on his ole sin ; den dat ole backslider is cotched where he was afore, on jus' such a rock . den one arter 'uodder, dat had got 'ligon, lies all 'long de shore, and dere dey lie till 'uodder 'vival Beloved bredren, God bless your souls, get deep in de current 1" Howmauy a white pulpit-bore has waded through the logical "divisions" ol a discourse, (a well intended one, no doubt, but from its unconscionable length spoiling some hearer's Sunday turkey that was worth two of it,) which had not iu its whole compass so forcible an illustration as this? —Knick-kn a cks. Domestic Dispute.-—A couple (nol long married' were contending about what should be tha name of their first and only child. " William, ray dear-1 want to name him Peter.' "Oh ! no, ray love: I don't like Peter-—be de nied his Master. Let us call him Joseph." " Wby, William, I can't bear Joseph—he denied his mistress." Afler all, it is with men as with dinners—the plain and simple ones are those we have recourse lo the oftenest, and of which we tire tbe least. An editor down east thinks children's games are becoming popular with older persons now-a-days. as he has seen several old gentlemen chasing hoops in our streets. Boston Tow-*—The valuation of Boston in 1858 exceeded that of the entire States of Maine. New Ham{ shire and Vermont. It waa one hundred rail' lions more than that of the city of Philadelphia and nearly thrice that of Baltimore. After an event is irretrievable, uothing is more absurd than the discussion of what might have been done. J very scheme of happiness must be imperfect that does not embrace the three incidents of wife home and children. K Yankee editor out West says : " The march of civilizitian is onward—onward like the slow bu1 intrepid steps of a jackass to a peck of oats." There are jokes like diamonds, that take les- time to nd than t» polish. In the matterof the Estateof Bernardo ^'orba, Deceased.

RUSSELUS PATENT. tin km e is "me l l it s , HAY1NC purchased the patent right ofthe above valuable invention, for tlie purpose of supply- ing-the counties ot Los Angeles, San Bernardino :md Sau Diego, is now prepared to execute all orders with which he may be favored. The public are aware that it has been the study of ■rcieutifie men, architects and builders, formany years to discover an article for Hoofing purposes, that will withstand sudden changes ot climate, be impervious to water, and of sure protection against fire. The inventor'of tlijs roofing labored many years to combine articles which would answer the above purpose and obviate the difficulties of rust and decay attendant upon tin and shingles, and the destruction by the sun and frost of the various compositions used tor roofing. This ho succeeded in doing, and now, after six years of the severest trial we would invite tho careful attention of all interested in such matters, believing that they will be fully convinced of its practical value both for durability and economy, in which respects we believe that its equal Is not at present known- This roofing can readily be applied to roofs of every description, either steep or flat, and can-be put on over shingles or tin, being much cheaper than the first and at half the cost of the latter. Two coats of the mastic put on over an old leaky tin roof, will make it as good as now at one-third of the cost. In preparing this roofing a heavy drilling or canvass is used, which is thoroughly saturated with a perfectly water-proof preparation, after which it receives a thick coating, upon both sides, of: the flour of soapstonc, which sets into the texture ot the canvass, and gives it a firm body, making it very clastic and durable. After the canvass, as prepared, is put upon the roof, another coating of mastic, which is thoroughly filled with sand, is given it, making it fireproof in every respect. By exposure, this coating becomes firm and solid, giving you a roof that can be walked upon with .perfect impunity, and as durable as anything known; and we do most candidly and unhesitatingly believe, far superior to anything of the kind yet discovered; and alter a severe lest of many years, stand as reliable and good as when first put on, without change or decay. AH that we ask is that a careful examination may be given it, and we feel convinced that it will bear all the recommendation which we offer of it.

I see men wrestling for the right, Yet nourishing; the wrong- I see them weakest for tho weak And strongest for tha strong. I see them load their hearts with love—■ The sordid love of pelf; I see their earth-fed spirits grow Mognnnimous for—self. I see the music of their lives Slow-dying out, unsung; Searching the while for Eden patha To trail their sins among. And they who knelt iu childhood hours, Linking their prayers in one; By the same gentle hand carresssed At eve and early enn. Build barriers of lofty pride, And hedge them round with doubt; Shutting the desert DlftoOB ia, Shutting the flowers out, I see men magnify their ills. Till unshaped trouble harrows, Mistaking sinless smiles for scorn, And aimless words for arrows. And while my feet go wandering through The careless, crowded city, My heart too vainly reaching ont For something of God's pity. I list tho voice whose music floods Tho all-undying years. Ringing its changeless measure out Through victory and tears. Uttered for every land and climo, For faithless friend or brother, " As He who loves forgiveth you, Forgive ye one another V l N T H E _.

Ali day I list for voices That do not come to me, And vainly think I hear them Along the evening sea ; They come not in the day-time, But every night it seems That I can hear them speaking low Around me in my dreams. AU day I think of faces, And through the opening door I look to see them enter As in the days of yore ; They come not in the day-time, But every night it seems As if I saw them smiling down Upon me in my dreams. AU day my soul remembers, While fast before my eyes The forms that 1 have loved so In other days arise. 'Tis sorrow in ihe day-time, But every night it seems As if their souls were with me still. And loved me ia mv dreams, From Washington- Washington, April 8.—Lord Lyons, the new Minister from Great Britain to the Uuited States, with his suite, accompanied by Lord Napier, ar* rived at the capital last evening. Lord Napier had proceeded to Annapolis to welcome his successor, immediately on the announcement of the rival of the British frigate Curacoa, Lord Lyons was to-day introduced by Lord Napier to Secretary CaBS. The land sales to be held in Kansas and Nebraska in July, August and September, will embrace in the former five millions and a fourth, and in Lhe latter four millions and a third acres. Washington, April 12.—Lord Lyons to-day pre- :nted to the President his credentials as Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of her Britanic Majesty. In doing so he gave utterance to the most profound feelings"of friendship of his government for that of the United States, and ex. presses the hope that the ties of amity would be drawn still closer. The President warmly rocip- rocated Ihe sentiments announced. The interview as of a more thau usually cordial character. Ex-Cong re Syrian Groesbeck, of Ohio, according to the representations of hiB most intimate friends, has been offered the appointment of Commissioner of Patents. The Hon. John Lefcher, the Democratic candidate for the Govcrnorselp of Virginia, is in this cily. The receipts of the Patent Offico during the month of March are said to be about _ 1.4,000 over the expenses- The Republicans intend firing a hundred guns to-morrow in honor of Jefferson's birth day, and of the Republican victories in the recent Stato and municipal elections. New York, April 13.—The Daily Sun of this morning raised fhe free flag of Cuba, under the belief that that Island is in the midst of a general revolt, if not already in the hands of the patriots. The Su?i says a baud of Cuban patriots sailed from this port the latter part of March with arms and ammunition, and most of them young men— some of them the leading men of the Island, and all determined to free their native soil or die in the attempt. Their landing was to be the signal for the revolt to the patriots. All waa ready on the Island. The first day of April was the day fixed upon. New Orleans, April 7.—The loss by the burning of the Levee Cotton Press, yesterday, was $850,000. Another fire broke out at noon to-day, in a sale warehouse oi half a square in extent, on Fulton street. Loss about $200,000. Baltimore, April 8.—At the hour fixed for the execution of the four miserable criminals, Gam beriil, Cropps, Corrie and Cyphus approached, an immense concourse of meu, women and youth had assembled around the jail. By 10 o'clock not less than 30,000 persons bad crowded to the hill that overlooked the jail. All fhe criminals exhibited remarkable composure and nerve on the scaffold. When on the scaffold, Gambcrill in a clear and loud voice avowed in solemn terms hia innocence* Cyphus, the negro, also attested his innocence, The drop fell at seven minutes past eleven o'clock, and the four criminals paid the penalty of their crimes. From Mexico. Vera Cruz, April 1.—Gen. Miramon appeared bef_FB Vflfft Crnz on the ISth ultimo, with 300 men of his advanced guard, receonuoiteml and then retired to the main body of thenriny, on- camped near Medilline, nine miles from tho city. The women and children of Vera Q_-__ have been transferred to vessels in the harbor. Th* Liberals are quite animated, Miramon had sent twelve hundred men against Alvarado, but they retired without making an attack. Miramon finding himself cut-genera!ed at ali points, broke up his camp on tin; 27i.li. ult., and commenced a retreat ou the capit*!. Gen. Ampudla with a strong force wa1; in the rear to cur, off the retreat. Dogallado, with 4,000 men, was at Tacubayn. aii'lo'lior Liberal forces surrounded the capital, which was expected to surrender .oon. Mr. McLane, the United States Minister, arrived ou the first of April, amidst great rejoicings for Miramou's retreat, and much satisfaction at his own arrival. Tiie United States Minister, Mr. McLane, had recognized the Juarez Government, which occasioned much rejoicing. Dates from the City of Mexico are ofthe 4lh in* taut. On the 2d, Degallado attacked tbe capital, but was repulsed with fhe loss of five hundred men. The Church party also sustained a loss of five hundred men. Miramon was at Orizaba. ViiR.v Ckuz, April 8.—There is great rejoicing. A national salute and a military parade took place iu honor of Mr. McLane's recognition ofthe Liberal Government. The Liberals are surrounding the capital with a force of 13,000 men. They have cut off the supply of water and provisions. The garrison numbers (5,000 men. Miramon sent 1,500 men to the capital from Orizaba. Juarez forces are pursuing Miramon. Seiior Mata has received official despatches confirming the news. He will return to Washington in a short time. News from Salt *Gnke. Prom the San Francisco Herald, we fake the following items of intelligence^from Utah. . The Overland Mail arrived at Genoa, Carson Valley, on tho 21st April, ton days and five hours from Salt Lake. Copies of tho Deseret Newa to tho Oth inst., had been received. Judge Cradlebaugh adjourned bis court at Provo ou the 4th of April. The prisoners in tho Parish and Potter murder cases Aierc held over and placed in charge ofthe Territory for safe keeping except "Paily," who gave bail for $1000 and waF released on parole, immediately on the adjourn ment of court the military took up their Hoe o march for Camp Floyd.

April 13— Eiremens' Hall was last night occupied by about four hundred people to witness the great billiard match between Phelan and Seereiter. The playing commenced about 7:30 P. M. No remarkable playing was made on either side until the sixty-fifth run, when Phelan made 101 points, and Seereiter on the eighty-ninth run made 157 points, the largest run made in tho game. On the 120th run Seereiter made 150 points, which was soon followed by Phelan making 120, being his largest run. The game concluded at 5 o'clock, a. *.t., amid great excitement, with the lGith run, Phelan beat* ing by 96 points. From Tahiti. We learn from Capt. Warner, of the brig Elleni- ta, from Tahiti, lhat Queen Pomare and her two sons were still in prison on the 22d ult. Tho Queen was confined in her castle at Papieto.— Her sons are narrowly guarded, and any attempt at revolt will be tho signal for their death. There are only seven hundred French troops in the place, but thus far they have been able toover- awe lhe natives, as the latter are without fire-arms- Everything appeared quiet when the Ellenita left, but an outbreak was daiiy anticipated, and the next arrival will probably bring intelligence of a revolution, as the natives are determined not to submit to the terms proposed hy the French Governor. It will be remembered that the difficulty arose from a conflict of authority between the Queen and Chiefs and the French, The French have long sought (or a pretext to end the protectorate and " annex" the Islands to France. This pretext now presents itself, and the next news will be that the French Hag has supplied the Tahitian and the Queen and Princes arc on their way to Paris to receive the hospitalities of the French Emperor.— S. F. National. _, _^^ _. From tire Kansas Mines. Leavenworth. April 11,—We, Brookficld, formerly Mayor ot Nebraska City, writes from Boulder City, under date of March 6th, to the ellect that iscoveries of coarse gold have been made in the mountains which pay as high as five dollars to the hand with rockers, and much more with sluices. Later private advices afibrd ample evidence of the dircovery of rich placers in the mountains.— Several statements from different sources are nearly identical, and corroborate the finding of paying deposits ot shot gold at Boulder City, and through a section of country thirty miles in extent. Much excitement existed at Denver City and alongChcr- ry Creek in consequence cf these discoveries. All the reports from the mines are more sanguine than ever and entirely consistent. Several letters are received from parties who weut from this city, and perfect reliance is placed in their statements. ALarge Lump OJf <9©JML Columbia, April 27.—A large lump of gold was taken out this morning, with the city limils. It weighed thirty-seven pounds seven 000069, and is valued at trighi thousand dollars. A one-third in- i terest in the claim sold last week for twenty-five ' dollars. Votl-d Slide—Loss of Lire. We take tho following from an extra of tho Sierra Democrat, dated April 19th : On Monday evening, at about sundown, the in- habitants ol Monte Crlsto were startled by a rumbling noise that of an earthquake ; the earth had parted, and a large mass, about twenty-five in width, and of great bulk, was precipitated clown the mountain side, a distance of four huudred feet, carrying away three dwelling houses* There was great consternation among the inhabitants in that part of the town. It was soon ascertained that four persons were missing. Mrs. Howe, anil two of her children, one an infant, and the other a little girl between two and three years of age, and also the little son of Mrs. P. Wright, aged four years. The city turned out immediately after the accident in Bearch of the missing, and recovered the dead bodies of Mrs. Weight's boy, aud that of Mrs- Howe's iuliuit. That night, about nine o'clock, there was anther avalanche, which compelled thoso in the neighborhood to flee from the threatened danger When the search was resumed, Mrs. Howe's body was found, having a large beam resting upon her neck. She must have been killed instantly. Another child of Mrs. Howe, a bright girl of about seven years, waa carried on the top of tho avalanche, and saved, though considerably bruised and scratched. Mr. Howe, was saved by a mere chance. Ho had but a moment or two been out of the house where Mrs. Howe and tho children were, and was talking with a man about the probable danger of a land-slide, when the crash came. Three miners, living in a cabin next to thehouso ofMr. Howe, had just finished supper and left tho cabin when it was crushed to atoms, and they had barely time to floe from impending death. A largo fissure in the earth, a foot or more in width, and upwards of a quarter of a mile in length exists higher up the mountain, A good portion ofthe town is entirely deserted. The loss is beyond estimation. Working the tuu- nels has been suspended, tho miners being afraid to venture into them. Lntcr from Kuroptr. Austria has consented to the proposed Congress on Italian affairs, as do the other four great powers. Piedmont aud the olher Italian States will probably be represented. It is reported that Prince Napoleon will bo the representative of France in tho Congross, and Lord Malmesbury will be tho plenipotentiary from England. Count Clavour had arrived at Paris. . It is stated that half a million of muskets of an improved pattern aro being made for the French army. Nothing definitely was known as to tho meeting of the Peace Congress, but Baden, it was bciievedi had been fixed upon as tho place for meeting. England consents to the admission of Sardinia, but it was supposed lhat her representative would have a seat but no vote, and the other Italian States the some. In Parliament, Lord Malmesbury made somo admissions in regard to Lord Cowley's mission, and expressed the hope that peace would be maintained. There was less confidence in peace at Paris, Vienna and Turin, whore war-like preparations still continued. The Paris Bourse was depressed three per cent. The report of a pending French loan was supposed to have some influence in the depression. The Dimubian Conference was expected to assemble during the week. All tho powers havo agreed to recognize the Cotze's election. The meeting of the Peace Congress, it is generally supposed, will bo between the 15th and 20th of April. State Donations to Orphan Asylums.—Tho following is a copy of the bill introduced by Senator Grant of San Francisco, providing for ado- nation of ..COOO to each ofthe Orphan Asylums of Saeramento, and which was approved by Governor Weller, April 1.8th : /Section 1. The Comptroller of State is hereby directed to diaw his warrants on the Treasurer o* State, payable out of the General Fund, for the sum of thirteen thousand dollars, six thousand dollars of which shall be payable to the Trustees of the Saa Fraocisco Orphan Asylum, and six thousand dollars of which shall be payable to the order of the Trustees of the Roman Catholic Orphan Asy- of San Francisco, and one thousand dollars of which shall be payable to the order of the Trustees of the Roman Catholic Orphan Asylum of Los An- >S ; and the sum of thirteen thousand dollars is hereby appropriated out of any moneys in the Treasury not otherwise appropriated for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this act. Sec. 2. The Trustees of said Orphan Asylums arc hereby required to report to the Governor of this State, on or before the twentieth day of December next, a detailed statement of the expenditure or these respective appropriations, with the number of orphans who have been inmates of eaid Asylums, severally, daring tbe year ending at date of their reports above specified. Acquittal of Thomas Seale.—The second trial of Thomas W. Seale, which commenced last Monday at San Leaudro, was concluded yesterday by the jury, after being two daya out, returning a verdict of "not guilty." The defendant was indicted for killing Paul Shore, in Santa Clara county. The District Attorney entered a nol. pros. in the case of Robb, who was indicted with Seale for the same offense. Billy Wilson, the driver of the Dogtown stage, brings us information that on Thursday last, a lump of pure gold weighing fifty-four pounds, was taken from the celebrated Willard claimJ atDogl lown. This is the biggest lump of the season.- Besides this huge lump, fifty ounce* to dust wero Uu-result ofthe same day's labor. The Dogtown Diggings are famous for big spec!mens.-Butte Record.
