A Monsiteg Lump MF,Gold.
Wo chronicled yesterday tl4 . llnding, of an
immense lump of qnartz golds in Caliveras
County, Weighing 161 pound's, of 2,576 ounces
avoirdupois. Estimating it to contain. 20
pounds of quartz rock, which is-a large allow
ance, in the opiniefof experienced persons wlio
examined it, the actual weight of the gold in it
will bo 141 pounds, or 2,256 ounces avoirdupois
the value of which, at $17h..5 per ounce, would
be $38,916. This is the largest nugget of pure
wild ever found in California or in the world !
It was brought down to this city yesterday by
ADAMS & CO., and will be shipped to the At
lantic States, in the steamer Of to-day. The
proprietors of it were so excited by their good
luck that they sat up beside their treasure
night and day on its way here. Mr. PERMS,
Inc of the company to whom it belongs, states
that it Nhi taken out in Calaveras County, on
Wednesday evening, Nov. 23, just as the com
pany were abdut quitting work for thb day ; he
Would not give any particulars in regard to
Where the claim is located, except that it is in
the county aline named. -The company con
sists of four Americans
,and ,one Swiss. Mr.
PERKINS belongs to Lexington, by., and for thc,_
past two years, although he has labored hard, '
was very unsuccessful, never having more than
noo at anyone time during that period. The
length of this immense mass is about, fifteen
inches, and its width from five and one-half to
six inches. As one side is extremely irregular
and uneven in its formation, it is difficult to
arrive at the exact thickness, but it will proba
bly average four inches. The other side is
almost flat, and presents a solid- mass of pure
gold ; the only quartz perceivable is on the
upper or ragged side, and•some pieces are so
loosely imbedded in the grecious metal that,
with the aid of a pointed instrument, they
might be easily removed. The whole mass, at
some period, has apparently been in a fused
state.—San Francisco Star, Dec. 18.
STATISTICS OF TUC PAST Yr.:Alt.—The papers,
in various directions, are filled with statistics
of the past year, giving the remarkable events,
accidents, incidents, fires, &c., throughout the
country. The entire loss, from fires, through
out the United States, for the year, is estimated
at about $25,000,000; There were, also, eigh
ty fires in which loss of life ensued, the number
of victims being one hundred and seventy-one.
The number of railroad accidents was one
hundred and ninety-three, killing one hundred
and eighty-six persons, and wounding five hun
dred and eighty-nine. •In 1853 there were only
one hundred and thirty-eight similar accidents,
but attended with the loss of two hundred and
thirty-four lives, besides four hundred and
ninety-six wounded.
The steamboat accidents of the year have
alarmingly increased, the total number reaching
forty-eight, with the loss of five hundred and
eighty-seven souls, and two hundred and twen
ty) n
five wounded, against thirty-one aceide ts,
three hundred and nineteen killed, and e
hundred and titly-eight wounded in 185'3.
Crime, too, of every grade, foots up a fearful
catalogue. There were six hundred and eigh
ty-two. murders, and eighty-four executions
during the year.
' The list of motality for the year includes the
demise of no leSs than eighteen men and twen
ty-seven women who had attained the age of
• one hundred years and upward. One—a col
ored woman—was said to be one hundred ,and
forty-six ; and another—an Indian woman—
one hundred and -forty-two years of age. The
oldest white man was one hundred and seven,
and the oldest white woman one hundred and
twenty-one years. Death has also, during the
year, greatly thinned the diminished ranks of
the Revolution—no less than eighty-six having
c'osed their earthly existence during the last
twelve months.
I‘l.vratmosmiltrtm.scrrox.—According to the•
last census there are about seventeen thousand
females more than males in the good city of
Philadelphia, and it is natural to presume that
a large portion of these husbandless members
of the human family are longing to enter into a
happy state of wedlock. However, wife hunt
ers must not suppose that they can stand at
the corner, of the street and beckon to them
whichever suits their fancy. Philadelphia
damsels aro not so desperate as to rush into the
arms of any puppy who takes it into his head
to ogle them. And_yet it doei seem that the
milk and sentiment market is somewhat defi
cient, when we recollect this fact in connection'
with the numerous advertisements of forlorn
bachelors who sigh for muslin and sympathy.
There is a very grave misunderstanding be
tween our coy maidens and nervous wooers.—

'UNHEALTHY PLASTERING.-A communication
n the New York Journarof Commerce asserts
that the hair used in plaster for new houses, is
very frequently, so dirty as to emit unpleasant
effluvia, and calculated to keep a room un
healthy for years afterwards. The writer
sa :
Hair used for mixing in. mortar should be
thoroughly washed, rewashed, and dried, and
thus deprived of the putrid matter •that often
adheres to it. The lime in mortar is not suffi
cient to cleanse the hair. It will generate an
unpleasant sickly effluvia whenever the room
is heated„untili after a long time, the mortar is
converted into nitrate of lime, or so much of it
as is mixed with the animal matter incorpora
ted in the mortar."
PENNSYLVANIA STATE TEACHERS' Assoclt-

Lewistown, Pa., on Tuesday, Wednesday, and
Thursday of last week. A large number of

in the highest terms of the unanimity, zeal and

Carefully prepared reports were presented
by Committees, on the following sultjecta :
" On the importance of the Study of the Ancient
Languages, as a discipline for
,the mind," by
Mr. 0. C. Davis, of Lancaster ; "'on Physiolo
gy, as a branch of Common Schcol Education,"
and "on the Ventilation of School Houses,"
by Mr. J. N. Loughlin, of MiflEn ; " on the co
educatiod of the Sexes," by Nr. J. 11. Brown,

from Philadelphia, Pittsburg, and othcomtowns
in the State, and the session closed with a
complimentary entertainment, given in honor
of the occasion, by the ladies of Lewistown.
Euos.—We wero shown yesterday, by
Cotton-Gin Builder Shaffer, a twin egg which
was found in this yard, and which is certainly
one of the oddest specimens of the lusus nature
that has ever come under our observation. The
eggs, which are attached at the smaller ends by
a ligament half an inch hi Tength,.have only a
soft shell ; but what is most remarkable is the
fact that one is all yolk, while the other is com
prised entirely of what is commonly called
"the white." 'Mr. Shaffer suggests that it is a
new species of egg, which should be called the
Christmas or egg-nog egg, as the white and
yellow are done up in separate shells, ready for
beating and stirring fur egg-nog. This won
derful advancement in the science (irtggology
must no doubt be attributed to the efforts of the
fowl convent:o7.s and societies that have engag
ed so much of public attention of late years.—

A MAN DEVOURED BY HOGS.-A correspou•
dent of the Havanna Journal gives the particu
Lars of a shocking accident which occurred in
Orange township, in Schuyler co ty, and
which resulted in the death of Charles rowl:
Ile went out of his house for the purpo, e of
cutting fuel in the yard, in apparently his usual
health, which was generally good. In less than
half an hour his daughter, on going to the door
espied him lying ou his back in the yard,
dead! and three hogs devouring him around
the head andiace ; they mutilated him horri
bly, having devoured his nose and cars, all the
muscles of his face, and almost all the scalp - off
the top of his head. The jawbones were entire
ly denuded, as also the wind-pipe, all the large '
and deep seated blood vessels on both sides of
the neck being torn and devoured by the ferb
cioUs animals. Ile could not have been in this
situation but a few moments, as the blood was
still flowing warm from the - torn arteries and
veins when fpund. The cause of, his death is
unknown. He leaves an interesting family and
a large eirelo of rylatives to mourn his untimely
loss.—flinghamplon Republican, Member 20.

Tn:a OLDEST Ilinaiirritir.—TherO is now liv
ing in Washington county, Va.; a bi - dy, who is
perhaps the oldest person 'in Virginia. Mrs.
Mary Colins, residing about seven miles from
Abingdon, beyond the Middle Fork of the Hols
ton river, the Abingdon Democrat says, is cer
tainly not less than "hue hundred and twenty
years old, and is believed to be near one hundred
and thirty., Although Mrs. Colins has reached
this extra9fdinary age, she yet attends to a
greatderif of work about the farm of, her son,
with whom she resides, and our informant
states that a short time back he saw her car
rying a heavy bucket of water up a steep hill.
CURE ron CoNscatrnow.—The editorof the
Worcester (Massachusetts) Palladium says that
the following recipe for consumption has proved
acceptable in so largo a number of cases, that
he is induced to make it public : Take the
meats of almonds, and, with a wedgewood mor
tar, (which can be procured of an apothecary,)
reduce them to powder. Upon this pour, gra
dually, cold water, and sweeten with loaf su
gar. It is a remedy that can do no harm, if
no good results from it.'
