Bui you may not claim hor as on old acquaintance; you can sit alone at your window now— nobody cares—your happiness or uneasiness is a trijle to all but yourself. You have spoken unkindly of Mrs. James, for a mere fuible ol hers you have condemned her openly ; and your words have been repeated, with additions here and there, until they have swelled into a volume, revised and corrected, and passed round Irom house 10 house, lobe read with malicious eyes by all persons fond of read ing 6uch spurious literature.

All of a sudden, 1 observ. ed his eye fixed on something over my shoulder, when he said to mc in a very low tone, "Now I want you to keep per fectly cool, and not spill the gravy; there is a splendid tiger light behind you." 1 held fast lo the Irving pan, and turning my head gradually around, I had a full view of the fellow, within eight paces of me, lying flat on his side, and with his paws playing wiih the legs of one of our Spaniards, who was fast asleep! Our rifles had been left in the boat. The Gov. ernor dieDv himself gradually down the bank, on his hands and feet, ordering me not to move. I was in hopes he would havo taken the old Minie, but he preferred his own weapon, and gelling it to bear upon the beast, ho was obliged to wait several minutes lor i; to raise its head, so as not to endanger the Spaniard ; at the crack of his rifle, I ho animal gave a piercing screech, and leaped about fifteen feet into the uir, a.id fell quite dead. The Spaniard leaped nearly as far in a different direction ; and at the same instant, from behind a little bunch ot bushes on ihe opposite side, and right behind llie Governor's back, where he had bren silting, sprang the mate, which darted into the thicket, and disappeared. We skinned (his beauiiful animal, which was shot exactly between his eyes, and after all hands had withdrawn into the boat, wailed several hours in hopes that the other one would iDhow itself again ; but we waited in vain, and lost our game. the nature of the offei «4Jtnkiuo* urn IIrick Building, cm Iloor South of Sulherluui't Store—up ttairo.

(hut SCIL8lDirON OVl'jA't Fleas in Califoania.—In tl.e course ol my experience 1 have been tortured by sandflies in the Eastern archipelago, and liavn made acquaintance with every kind of mosquito from Malta to Acapulco, including, of course, the famous " tiger" breed, against whom there is no resource but flight. I remember when sick at Hong Kong, 1 was crammed into the cabin of an old storeship, so full of cockroache.", and thee so ravenous, that they kept my toe nails quite close cvory night, and wotilJ try the flavor of the top of my head, and when they found that to be all bone, they ate my hair and whiskers, the lust circumstance being very annoying from the fact that whiDkers were scarce with me in those days. But 1 would have preferred any ol those r.n/ioyances to the attack of the Santa Rosa fleas. On lighting ft candle we found the pluce alivo with them Unlike, both in appearance and manner, the modest flea ol ordinary life, that seeks concealment as soon as by accident it is unearthed, these insects, reared in the rough school of a bullock's hide, boldly fuced as they atlacked us. We discovered next day that the room, the floor and walls of which were of earth, had contained hides, and had been cleared out for our accommodation. Fleas not only abound in the sltin of every beast you kill, hut even live on the ground, like little Iterds of wild cattle, arid nuts are of all shapes and sizes, and stand up savagely ou their hind legs, and open their mouths savagely, if you only look at them. The wasps attack any m«-at that may be hanging up, and commence at once cutting out small pieces, which they carry home, and it is antonishing what a quantity they will carry away with them. What they do with it when they get home, I never ascertained ; but i presume they 'jerked' it for winter use, as the Spaniards do. attsj ti juui:, ilifcy have opened h com! ytiT«l of«mj»lt diinfnfions, ami ure, pre pared at tiieir ollice, corner of Main mml Railroad Streets, to lill ail orders l'or coal for domestic purposes.

The soil is a lime stone formation, and part ot the yard sometimes being C ery wet, accounts for the phenomenon. In the lust case, the body of a man buried less than twenty years ago, in tho prime oj life, was found completely changed to stone, excepting the head and part of the neck, which had decayed. Thus while in some cases alter death the body crumbles to dust, and hardly an atom of ashes can be found where was a full grown man, in other instances by some operation equally strange t-he parities became changed iuto lime stone rook, as hard and as heuvy as marble itself- Lewisburg Croniclg.

Tnc Cheapest Food.—One hundred pounds of good wheat flour contain 90 lbs. of pure nutritive matter, and 19 pounds of water. One hundred pounds of potatoes contain i'rotn 20 to 25 pounds ot nutritive matter, depending on the quality of the potatoes, say 22* pounds, on an average, consisting almost entirely of starch, and 77J pounds of water and inert matter. It requires, therefore, exactly four hundred pounds of potatoes to supply the same amount of nutriment that one hundred pounds of wheal flour supply. The best potatoes weigh about G4 pounds to the bushel, and a bushel contains 15 1 5 lbs. of nutriment. At two dollars per bushel, or fifty cents a peck, tho retail price lately, the nutritive portion of potatoes costs a fraction over fifteen cents a pound, which is equivalent to twenty three dollars and fifty cents fur a barrel ol good flour.— While flour has doubled in price only, potatoes have increased at fourfold rate.
