The writer rel.iies the lollon ing siory of nn
ittlentpi In capture llie famous wild man whn
has been so nflen encountered on the borders
of Arkansas and Northern Loutsian i:
In mv travels I met a party Ironi your coun-
try in nursiiii of a wild man. T'tti-v h id struck
his trail at a cane break bordering
L ike nnd the Sun Flower Prairie.
on IJiant
1 learned
from one of the party thai the dogs had run i
liim lo an arm of llie lake which was frozen.
but no stiflii i-ttily strong to hear his weight
which consequently gave way. lie h id how-
ever crossed and the dogs were at fault." One j
of the party mourned on a fleet horse enuring i
upencniirag.il the tings to p n'su- but found
ii impossible to cross wilh his horse and con-!
eluded In follow the lake round until he could j
ascertain llie dirvtn.i take i by this monster:
of ibe forest. On reaching lite opposite sidej
of the bend be was surprised to see something
itr the lake like a man breaking the ice wiihj
his arms nnd hastened undercover of the un-!
dergmwih to the spot where be expected him j
lo come nut. He concealed himself near the:
place when he had a full view of him until j
he reached the shore where bo rarne out .mil I
shook himself. He represents hint as a stout j
nlltleric man. nliotri six feel four in.'hes Ii itrii .
He was well muscled and ran rrp the lunkl
with the fleetness nfn deer.
He says he could have killed him with his
gun but the object of the. prriy Ireing to' lake
him nlive. nnd hearing the horns of his com-
rades and the howling of llie dogs on the oppo-
site hank of the lirke he concluded to ride up
and head him so ns to bring him at bay and
then secure their prize. So) soon however ns
the wild man saw the horse and rider he rush-
ed frantically towards them nn I in an instant
drugged the hunter To the ground and tore him
in the most dreadful manner scratching out

' We nlenii the following items of interest
j frnm our Neu Orleans p.ncIiiiiuic:i The dales
I frnm San Franciscn nre lo the 20di Feb'y :
j A violent shock of nn earthquake was felt
I in Sao Fra sen on the inomintr Feb'v 15.
I The Alia California says:
! The people wi re nroused from their sleep
! nnd hundreds rushed franlicnllyinlo the streets
i in llieii ninlit clothes. The siiock lasted
. some twenty-live seconds nntl preceded by n
ruiiihliti'r s mud like i. islam thunder. Nn
material ilamaire was done to properly. The
lire wall fell from one brick stare; the plaster-
iovr was more or less crii" ketl iu a nontl many
buildings; nnd in some instances slight lissnres
nre created in brick walls. A ijrt nt many
timid people were terribly frightened for n
time but they were soon led lo believe l lint
there was no d .inner. I; was the most severe
shock nf which we have nny account in San
Francisco.
The s. tine pnpT in its sinninnry of the
fortnirrlit's news savs :
The report of the engineer who made the
preliminary surveys lor u railroad from Sacra-
inenlo to l!entii-ia has just heeri published.
The distance is ninety miles ami it is estima-
ted that ibe road can he constructed for three
million t'lollirs. The first division (uventv-two
miles) of ibe "Sacramento Valley Kuilrond"
is now ennipleleil nntl a eranil eekmraiion is
to take place on the S'M at (he new town ol
PUn. ii.nr..n ii iiti nfikormil This
road is in hv eominued oil to oilier towns in
the 1 1 i r: i i Jt-
region and promises Jo be the
i leus for a network of railways connecting
the prtticipil towns of the mines with the river
cities and ultimately wilh San Francisco.
Public e-;peclntinn is high in regard to these
ettierpt-ii''-:-' mid now that speculation in real
estate has ceased it is not improbable thai
heavy investments may be mabe in railways.
Capital is now rapidly accumulating in this
cotiniry. and seeking investment in nny kind
of enterpriz 's lliat promises prolit. A survey
is nbntit being made for a railroad froi.i Stock-
ton to San F.-ain-isco: no! a prej":'! for n road
frnm Miu vsvilleto Beiiicin is also p.viling a
gnn.l d'-al nf attention at the former place.
'here is niching firm Or 'gun later than lite
news received beie on the "jib anil fnrvvaitb d
in our evening edition by the steamer which
sailed on that day. It appears thai the Gov-
eritnr nf Oregon has already is-ned $3. 000. 000
in scrip to defray the expenses nf calling out
vnlunieer soldiers lo light the Indians. This
war pintnisi's in prove a very expensive nlliiir
lo the General Government.
The miners continue to do exceedingly well
anil the yield of the mines was never greater
than at pr-seni. All we want is an additional
force nf 100.000 men iu the mines to make
ours one cf the richest Stales in the world.
