Torges, one of the of the Cincinnati reie proprietors who was one of the victinw, account of the furnishes the following isc, near Iono, Amador gtafre robbery countr, oa Mcnday morning: 'One of the highwaymen, armed stood at the head of with a shotgun, covered the driver the horses and armed with bisguD, while the other, the driver with a pistol, commanded and not to attempt to proceed further, directed him to throw out Wells, box. As it Fargo & Co.'s treasure was tossed out he inquired if there was much in it. The driver respond Thereupon eJ that he thought nut. it up, shook it, the robber picked concurred in the opinion that the contents were light, and declared he would be compelled, in ofder to make a forced up for it, to levy ion on the passengers. contribut- "He commencjd by assuring them that he was oue of the oldest hands at the business on the coast, and he would go through with the matter in hand with neataesa and dispatch. The coolness with which he acted went far toward bearing hiui out in his claim to experience-- ; but his con- silently maintained his in front of the team, tremposition bled noticeably, and probably was a federate, who novice. "T ha passengers were told to get out, oue at a time. There were seven of jf them six men and a woman the names ot four were Messrs. and Thomas, of Jackson, E. Johnson, Supt. cf the Newton Copper mine, located near lone, and Mr. Torges. The first passenger searched 1 GO, the second of was relieved of 642 aud a silver watch, the third Torges of a gold watch, chaia and locket, valued at 8200, $100 in and 30 in coin, all af which was in his pocket book but 220 in $20 pieces, which were loose in his pocket, were not found, and, as his coat was buttoned up aud hc had on a pair of gloves, his valuable diamoud pin and ring also escaped capture, lie had a dispute with the robbc relative to a railroad ticket to the East, which the pocket book contained, and finally the fellow, who was jolly and gave it back-thim. Torges told him if he'would give him his address he would send him $100 iu coiu to redeem his watch, but the offer was declined with a light laugh. "The other passengers were robbed of small sums, and the last man interviewed was Johnson, who, while the road agent was busy with the otiur passengers, had slipped his purse, which was quite plethoric, into the boot of the stage (he was the only whom Aikeu cur-reD- o good-nature- passenger cy riding outside with the driver). The robber apparently knew who he was, as he remarked, "Cuae it's your turn now; you've got money; you never travel without it." Johnson responded that he merely tad two bits, and suggested, ''You wght to catch me when I'm coming I never have any money when I m going down to the bay, but I'm generally flush coming back." He had on a silver watch, which was levied but he requested upon, that down, it might bo little value, m leturned, as it was but the robber that he had to take it or not Set anything out of him. During the June the robbery was being carried ca we woman, who was evidently of nish had been very origin, much but alarmed, after he 'had Jade the other passengers hand over turued to her and said: S! , Uon tbe frightened, madame.T don't antyour money," and returned the Purse which sht had offered him.

One of the passen-er- s asked to hare his watch returned, saying it was a gut lrom his dying grandfather, to which the robber replied that lie really could not return it, but he would do the fair thing he would remember the grandfather as long as the watch re'mained in his possession! The agent at Gait was unable, on' the arrival of the stage there, to tell how much money Wells Fargo & Co.'s box had contained, but it probably was somewhere in the neighborhood of 6400. It is estimated that the total plunder gained by the robbers. including two gold watches, two pistols, two silver watches, etc., was about 1,500. Johnson offers a reward of $300 for the capture of the rascals, and others of the victims have increased the amount to 500, While Well, Fargo & Co. will probably give us much more. The highwaymen were both quite tall. The one that stood at the head of the team had his face blackened, but his hair, whiskers and eyes showed that his complexion was dark. The other wore a gunny-sac- k mask, with holes cut for the eyes aud mouth, and through these apertures it could be seen that his eyes were blue and that he had a lirht colored mustache and whiskers the latter it is thought, pretty long His voice was clear and firm, rather but sharp and correct in exThe robbery was boldly pression. and planned execated, as the stage, a few miles from the place where it occurred, overtook a wagon contain ing five men, which had passed over the road and by the spot where the robbery occurred, but a few minutes before the stage came up, besides which the road is well traveled at all times. It is said that a man herding sheep in the vicinity had observed the men idling about for two or three days, and suspected that they were not desirable neighbors. San Francisco Chroniele. high-pitche- A d, Fatal Accident on the Cenlrul 1'acific ICnilroad. The Truckee Republican of the 28th ult. says: "At about seven o'clock on Monday an' accident occurred on the railroad track in the first snow shed east of town. A gaug of section men were going down the track on a hand car. taking behind it a flat or 'rubber' car, loaded with about fifty ties. The grade is so steep that the breaks were applied to regulate the speed, which at' that time was between twelve and fifteen miles an hour. There were seven men on the hand car, besides the tools. An iron bar was lying near the front end of the hand car, and was in danger of falling off, when .one of the men stooped over to secure it. The lever that is used to propel the car struck the mau twice aud knocked him off the car. He fell with his head and shoulders acress the rail. The whec's struck him, cutting off his left arm, so that it hung only by the skin, and smashing in the chest. His neck was broken and his head was badly bruised. Both the hand car and the flat car passed over him. The men were all thrown from the . the car thrown into the ditch and completely wrecked, breaking the wheels and axles. The flat car stopped about the length of two rails beyond where the man fell. The ties were thrown off and two of the men were found uuder them. One, Henry Shields, received a heavy bruise on the forehead and several scratches about his face. The other, Patrick Bower, received bruises on his side, hip and hands. Another by the name of James Cowie, had his leg hurt. At the time of the accident the men state that one of them had been applyiog the break for 200 yards to cheek their speed, but it was not in good order and did not control the car as it ought to have done. The deceased man's name was Henry Strobcck. He has not been in the is a employ of the company long and car,-and- -- A ' .SniiUo-Fiitiu- g i Mexican Serpent. "From the liouJn Daily News. A wonderful poisonous snake, purchased from Mr. Chus Jamrach, the well known animal dealer of St. George street east, has just found a home in a gage on the south side 'of the snake house in tbe Zoological Gardeus. This is a g snake. Dr. Fayrer, in his magnifi cent'work on 'Venomous Snakes of the Indian Peninsula," has ably described this cnature. We learn from this high authority that this most formidable of poisonous snakes is found, but not commonly, in India, the and Philippine Islands. It is the largest and most formidable of known venomous snakes. It is not also but active only very powerful, and aggressive. Dr. Fayrer figures two specimens in the act of striking in splendid plates drawn from life by native artists. One specimen is seven feet nine, and the other eleven feet ten. The specimen iu the Gardens is over seven feet in length. The worst of the snake is, he will not run away when attacked. He will not only turn' upon his enemy, but will pursue him. We read in Dr. Fay rer s book : "A Burman told me that a friend of his stumbled upon a nest of these serpents, and immediately retreated, but the old female gave chase. The man fled with speed ever hill aud dale, and terror seeuiwd to add wings to his flight, till reaching a small river he plunged in; but on his approaching the opposite bank, up reared the furious hamadryad, its dilated eyes glistening with rage, ready to bury its fangs in his trembling body. In utter despair he bethought himself of his turban, and in a moment dashed it upon the t, which darted upon it like lightuing, and for some momeuts wreaked its vengeance in furious bites, after which it returned quietly to its former haunts. The Bengali name is Sunkerchor, or breaker of shell. It lives in the forest and grass jangles, is especially fond of hollow trees, and is a good climber. The snake charmers in India prize it highly, but they say it is exceedingly dangerous to catch, and difficult to handle. The specimen at the gardens is in excellent hetlth. Shortly after his arrival he was fed by Holland, the keeper, who put an oi dinar v kuelifb fnake into his cage; the ophiophagus quickly devoured the huglish snake by bolung him head first. In gen eral appearance- the new snake is very like tin common cobra, except when he spreads his hood he is seen to be marked in very pretty bands not unlike the patterns on oil cloth. Th head is somewhat almond fchaped, exceedingly clear and bright. When sitting up with his hoed expanded, the snake is continually ' jerking his head in a restless manner, reminding us of the quick darting action of the common green lizard; the eye is exceedingly clear and bright. When disturbed the snake hisses loudly, and shows his temper by extruding his long, black forked tongue, which he vibrates with marvellous celerity. The lower pait of the window of the cage now inhabited by this snake has been painted white, in order that his naturally hasty temper shall be disturbed as little as possible by the morning calls of visitors. snak-eatin- Au-dam- au ser-peu- - The San Francisco court has developed : a -- woman known as the 'Koariug Gimlet," whom .

SOMETHING News you The Talisman of Guanajuata says: "A journalist in these times cannot forget to occupy himself with the and actions of the pronunciado armed bands; the simultaneousness with which they have appeared iu various parts of the country calls his attention and indicates that there is a common center, a directory intent upon revolution, upon throwing us into the horrors of civil war; and this with the hope of seeing their day of triumph, after having destroyed our growiug industries and paralyzed our commerce; after having dishonored us before the civilized world; after having sacrificed thousands of Mexicans; they would forget these horrors and hold them cheap, simply to obtain the return of the Sisteis of Charity. This is a beautiful ideal, a principle mor noble than independence, a cause more holy than liberty, and which, at least, ought to be compared to the exaltation of Maximilian to the throne. Catholics who take the name ought to be ashamed thus to invoke their faith in aiding highwaymen. The bhhops have accumulated pastorals upon pastorals, referring to the smallest actions of the government, doubtless hoping to avert some evils.

This is because the majority of the population is allied to the fanatics who assaulted the church. As proof of this we cite the fact that on a certain day the parish priest, Father Jesus Nava, was called to confess a man dying in the jail. The people, believing that tho priest had been iir prisoned, became excited, and it became necessary to calm public indignation by carrying the dying man to the priest in order to confess him.
