Here some tremendous finds 1 had lately been made, and people 1 bad been turning up nuggets like an liishman shovels up potatoes. In due time, after a fortnight's weary journey in an ox cart, which also contained my cradle, my pick and shove), my tent, and other camp requisites, as well as all my personal luggage, I arrived at the go(dfi*lds~ I found Ophir then a peculiar and yet a romantic looking place.

I bad lever before listened to their disburse, but one night, just as I was retiring to bed, I heard one say to | he other : "Yes, this little kuife lid it for him ; I killed the old man I irith one blow, sir." The horrible admission staggerid me, and I felt that I most lis ten to the end ot the discourse now, at whatever risk to mvselt; so I glued my ear to the canvas in ;ime to hear his mate rejoin: * Did you, now t And did the felow resist you ?" " Faith and he did," icplied the issasin. " He grasped me till he learly pressed the life out of me, rnd tried to rip me up with bis ipnr; but I drove the knife into liui up to the hilt, and then cut lis head off." " Bravo, Charlie!" cried the otli>r ; "that makes the seventh old nan we've killed since our arrival n the colonies, don't it?"a "No, tho eighth,? was the re >ly., "Don't you remember the black fellow ?" ? . " Oh, aye, to be sure, l ight you ire," said tho other ; " hut what iave you done with the illustrious lead in this present instance!" " Why, I left the body in the hish, with the exception of the legs, which aro here tu the tent." The conversation here ceased, ind was not resumed ; in fact, a itentorian snoring soon told me ;hat it was very improbable that it ffould be so for that night, nt the east; 80 I crept into my bed, not m sleep (how could I, after so hor rible a discovery ?i but to reflect jpon all tliat 1 bad heard.

These animals, when attacked, are very ferocious, and if they cannot get away, and are engaged at close quarters, will clasp you with their short fore legs, and pressing you tightly ngainet their chest will raise one of their strong hind legs, which is armed with a terribly long, strong, and knife shaped spur, and rip you right down with ir, canaine almost instant death.

Effect of Forests on HealthIt seems to be generally understood among scientific observers that forests, and even a few rows >f trees, often have great effect in checking miasmatic vapors. It ias been observed that a screen of rees in certain localities in Italy, >rotectcd the inhabitants from evers which were prevalent upon he other side of them. Certain :omuii8sioners in the Tuscany ad rise the planting of three or four rows of white poplars to intercept he current of air from malarious ocalities. Lieut. Manry believed hat a few rows of sunflowers planed between the Observatory at Washington and the Potomac narshes, bad saved the inmates of be Observatory from the intermitent fevers to which they had been brmerly liable, and large planta ions of sunflowers have been slanted in alluvial soils in Italy kvith favorable results in preventing the spread of noxious exhalations from the marshes. It is supposed that the plants or trcos not only act mechanically to sheck the unhealthml current, but ilso chemically to render the noxotis effluvia harmless by decom-; nosing it. The uniform temperature and tumidity of forests, except in tropcal climates, are considered favorable to health. Even the great twamps of Virginia are found to M healthy both to blacks and a hites until portions of the forest ire felled, when by rapid decom position they become insalubrious, und even dangerous. Upon, the whole, it would seem' that for comfort, fbr fertility of soil, and for health, as well as for convenience, economy, and last, bet not least, the beauty of the landscape, we ought carefully to cherish our native forest aud encourage artificial plantations. lfo h \Judge French.

The * grape process ** is condpcted now to a considerable extent on the banks of the Rhine, where several physicians have establishments in which patients afflicted with consumption, or with deranged digestive organs, are treated by eating grapes, as in other places they are by drinking water. The patients assemble in the gardens twice a day, and each fills a basket with the grapes, under the Watchful qj* of a special doctor. They then sit down to slowly suck toe juicss of the fruit, wtple -lively, music is played in their hearing.' From four to six weeks is the time required for a cure. This story, if true, may prove a sad discouragement to doctors and proprietors of quack rood icines which are upheld to core consumption; but we believe the main virtue ot the u grape process " will be found in the regularity oi habits which the treatment otherwise imposes.

It has sometimes been asserted that it it not the moles that does the damage, but a mouse that follows in the wake.
