lowing: Some days since, an artesian well was
being eunk near a frame house, situated a few
mile* distant from the town of Alviso, on the road
leading from tbat place to San Jtse. The boring
rod bad penetrated a thick layer of clay, at the
depth of one hundred and sixty-four feet, when
the operators left their work for dinner. Upon
their return, after tbe lapse of an hour, a small
stream ol water was spouting from the bore to the
height of about fif'.y feet, and with much difficulty
a portion of tha boring rod wss withdrawn.
One section of the rod remained In the bore, and
finally this wss thrown out with great velociiyby
the force of the water. A streaai of pure water
followed, gradually increasing in circumference as
the earth was worn away by tbe constant flow of
water, and when our iuformant left there was a
steady discharge of water risfog to the height of
six feet, from an aperture of about two teet in
diameter. The surrounding flats were flooded by
this stream, and it was found requisite to cut
ditches to preserve the roads from inundation.
[Sacramento Herald, June 1.
A Slave Fobcibly Taken fbom a Ballimole
Vksskl —The brig Young America, Captain Roi
gers, of Baltimore, recently arrived at Savacna la
Mar, Jamaica, having ou board a slave steward
named Anderson, who said ho belonged to a Mr
Robinson. On arriving in port, tbe Captain, it is
said, knowing tbatif the slave landed ou Brllish
soil he would become free, took great pains to keep
him on board, and to prevent communication wi:h
any one on shore.
"By some means, the report that a slvae was on
board got wind, and the inhabitants became terri
bly excited, callirg upon the magistracy to inter
fere aod obtain the man's releasH. The magis
trate were in donbt, and considered 1 tbe duty i f
the Custom's officers to demand the liberation of
tbe slave. Tbe consignee of the vessel, Mr. Mason,
a magistrate and a member of Assembly, is re
ported to bave said "that tbe people had better look
sharp what they were doing, or they might c%use
another Greysowu scene—that the Americans
would send a vessel into the harbor, and »«riH
bombs flying into the m®"
ti.o not being intimidated, seeing tbat the
authorities would not interfere, took the matter
Into their own bands, manned their canoes, and
made tor the brigsntlne. Five stalwart negoes first
boarded her by main force, and seizing the slave,
bore him eft'in triumph.
" When the man reached tbe shore the people
cheered vociferously, and if the Captain had not
been careful of himself, ho would have been as
saulted. The only uiagis'.rate who took any active
part in tbe affair, was Mr. Justice R. F. Thomas.—
He, to prevent an assault on the Captain, dreading
from the great excitement that such would have
been the result, hastened to the beach and received
the liberated man with these words: ' Are you a
freeman or a slave V 'I aoi a slave,' was there
ply. 'Then,' said Mr T., 'in the name of her
Majesty the Queen, I now declare that you are
free and at liberty, having landed on British soil '
The U. S Consul at Kingston has laid the lacta
before the Governor of Jamaica, and demanded
the punishment of the negroes for foieibly board"
log an American vessel, and abductiug one of her
crew. The Consul cautions American shipmasters
against shipping negroes in vessels coming to the
island. It is a constant tource of trouble and in»
convenience, as they almost invariably desert
Indiana Free Banks.—The Auditor of Indiana
announces that the circulating notes of the North
Western Bank of Bloomfield and of the Steuben
County Bank of Angola, are redeemed at his office
The following is a list of the suspended banks
which have resumed and of those which are re
deeming their paper: Shawnee Bank, at Attica,
resumed; Bank of South Bend, do; Tippecanoe
Bank, do; Back of Fort Wayne, redeemed at
Branch Bank, Indianapolis ; Upper Wabash Bank ;
Staik County Bank; Bank of Rockport; North
Western Bank ; Steuben County Bank, rede-med
at office of Auditor of State; Great Western Bank,
redeemed at Terre Haute.
Opium Eating.—This destiactive and degrading
bablt seems to be attracting the attention'of the
press through the country generally. The Cio
cincati Sun Ivarn* from a druggist. that among his
customers for opium is a girl as young as fourteen
years, who Is fast falling a victim to tbe pernicious
habit. The Louisville (Ky) Courier relates an in
stance* still more sad. It say* : "We know a
youg gentleman of this State, (descended in the
maternal line from a distinguished Governor of
nur Commonwealth, and whole paternal ancestors
tilled leveral diplomatic and civil station* in tbe
service of the country,) who was enticed by the
fascloation* of opium, and finally became so ad
dicted to its use that he gave up ail tbe schemes of
life—quitted his labor in art and poetry, for he wss
both poet snd painter—and Is now an inmate of a
lunatic asylum."
How it YVosks —The prohibitory liquor law
dots not seein to woik as resti ictlvely in Boston as
was expected. The magistrates are active enougt.
io sending the violator* of the law betore a jury,
but the juries are little disposed to convict. Four
teen cases recently tried, wuded in an acquittal of
alt exccpt one, the exception being a disagreement.
In most of the cases the evidence has been defec
tive, but iu one or two cases the evidence warrant,
ed a conviction. The juries being declared judges
of the law as well as of the facts, they virtually
have decided against the law.
Death of a Distinguished Scholab.—One ol
the oldest and most dislinguiihi d "Heads" at Ox
ford, Dr. Gaisford, Dean of Christ Church. Regius
Protestor ot Greek, and a philologist of world
wide celebrity, died on the 2i instant, after a short
butpalnlul illness, in the Ts'h year of his age.

Shocking Affair m Brooklyn.— One Man
Killed and Tiro Wounded—An artray occurred on
tbe corner of Koltnn avenue and Raymond atreet,
Brooklyn, about 10 o'clock on Sunday morning,
which resulted In the death of a young man named
Cbarlea Johnson, and the mortal wounding of hla
brother, Robert Johnaon. Another man wa» also
aerioualy injured. The particulars of the affair
are thus given:
i"Tho Johnsons, with P. McDonough and two or
three others, were on their way home from Ihe
house of an elder brother, and at tbd corner of
Fulton avenni; they discovered three men (subse
quently found to be named Michael McGorman,
Michael McGee aod Patrick Sorley) extended
across the gutter, laoe downward, and feet extend*
ed In the strext. Seeing a new pair of boota near
tnfni, and (upposlng them to be sleeping off the
effecta of strong drink, one of the party remarked:
"Somebody will steal theae lioots; we had better
start them home, or tbe M. P.'a will take them
In."
Acting upon this soggestien, they attempted to
aroute the men by sbakirg them, and then by rub
bing their ears, but only succeeded In aronring He-
Qorman, who, springing op tuddenlv, said he would
go hon-e for nobody, drew a knife from bis pocket.
*nd tbruit it several times into Chas. Johnson, in-
II cting punctured wounds of the abdomen and pleu
ra, nates and arm; from the effects of which he died
in a few hours. Be ne«t attacked Robert Johnson,
stabbed him in the back and ahoomau, and then
struck at Patrick McDonongh inSieiing an incised
wound ou bis right thigh, soma eight inches in
length, when he escaped from the fiend with his as
sociates. Tbe whole transaetion was the work of a
moment. When tbe knife was drawn, the deceased
called out "watch," ani after he was stabbed, sung
out that lie was murdered, and lis companions were
stabbed when they came to bis assistance, while the
others fled.
Charles A. Livingston, a private watchman, heard
the cries of murder, and im&ediately after rapping
for assistance, repaired t# tbe spot and saw a portion
of the transsction. He attempted ti arrest the infu
riated man, but it was with great difficulty tbat he
escaped witb his own life, after defending himself
against tbe knife for a wbole block, breaking his
club to over tbe man, who vowed a determi
natiou to kill blm. Mr. Livingston having escaped
1i*0... bis ass.iUut, started for assistance, and after
blocks to tbe cornet* cf Myrtle avenue
gudNa.y street, bo found uffisers Casier. Velsor
aud Skidmore, who urumutly started for tbe spot,
and succeeded in ftojing McOorman un Fulton ave
nue, five blocks from the sctue of the uiurder.
He was determined na*. to be takou alive, u*lnq
his kufe fieoly, and it was witb the gie&test diffi
culty that be wss overpowered and secured. Even
then be i..ade desperate eabrts to relieve aimself.—
Tbe knife, covered with blood, was in his
pneket, Bud, acknowledging tbe dsod, sail that he
wiahed to it.ll the polisema.i and at tcari 20 Irish
men. (Hu is an irishman himself, as 1.0 fi.il tbe par
ties.) ilis ccmpauious were arrested u-iar where
tbe n.uidor occurred, aud were ail saiely lodged in
tbe i*'jurth District station bouse, 'i'iie ttffray was
entirely owing to drunkenness, as tbe tiro parties
were entire strangers to each other.
