It was stated they were discussing a petition to Gen. Canby to require the :ron-ciad oath trom officers of the Legislature elected at this session.

Several casks of petroleum and lucifer matches Jormed part of the cargo, and during the gale the lashings of the petroleum casks on the fore- castle gave way, and, being dashed against the chests of lucifers, immediately ignited. The Petroleum casks ‘rolled toward the centre of the vessel, set fire to the side of the saloon. burnt down the glass roof of the gen‘lemen's sleeping berths, and fired two of the life-boats. je flames rose with fearfal rapidity to a great height above the deck. and for three ours the crew and passengers were e in attempting to extinguish the fire, the stench trom the petroleum being almost overpower- ing. When the fire was at last thonght to have been subdued, flames were again seen ascend- ing from the deck of the vessel, owing, it was found, to the chests of lucifer matches having spontaneously ignitea. Ss second fire was, however, soon pat out, and then the whole of the petroleum casks and the lucifer matches were thrown overboard. THe new chignon is out. Ob! and isn’t it dreadful. One of the new chignons would fill asmail mattress, and furnish sufficient mate- rial for a column of remarks in the Home Journal. They are much longer than any “back hair” sets that have heretofore been in- troduced in this market, Instead or being round and placed high upon the back ot the head, the new ones are trom twelve to eighteen inches in length, and almost touch the centre of the wearer's buck. Flax is pow generally used im place of human hair. Thus “flaxen s" may be attributed to every lady The chignons sre j# in thick plaits, and covered with “invisible” nets. A first-claes chigaon costs $4, flax: $25, human hair. Front pieces a pair; long curls, $3 to $15 each.— Star.

In the evening, by invitation of the Chamber ot Commerce, a visit was made to that body by theG.L.

An invitation Baving been accepted to visit San Jose, other interesting pomts im that vieinsge, on Thursday the Grand Lodge sembled at the Alameda ferry at9a m croseed the bay for a day of pleasure in tne fruit growing region of wonderful co’ try. The day was a beautiful one, the sbining forth in all iteepiendor (and Beat.) and the steamboating to Alameda was very pleas. ant. the ig being msde in about thirty minutes. Here cars were taken wo Vallejo , and thenee to San Jose, where a proces. sion of about five hundred Uid Fellows greeted | the visitore on their arrival with cheers and Masic. In processjon the entire party passed through the principal streets to Armory Hall, where the inner man" was regaled with some of the delicior Sna fruits of tbat ductive valley, the liquids being tea and coflee— the beverage of the Oda Fellows of the Pacific const. Prior to leaving, Grand Secretary Ridgely and Past Grand dire Nicholson were required to make addresses, after which a stroll was town, many of ia of the court taken through the streets of tn ‘the visitors ascending the cu} house, fromwhich & deli arro! si jo Park, the Bachelor's Home," the residence of Wm. £ Barron, sq.) Val Park, Fair Oaks, and the park of A. Hayward, Esq,, were successively visited, ateach place the v:sitots loading ves, ingide and out, with the large and luscious fruit, which was down the trees by its heavy weight The proprieiors’ residences were thrown open at each place, and sumpta- ous coliations spread. Thos. H. Selby, Esq , (the Mayor elect of San Francisco.) welcomed the party to his beautiful residence near Fair Oaks, and extended to them the hospitalities ot grounds, the sand orchards ex the ex; tions of the surprised party, who could fiud no words in which wex- press their admiration of what they had seen. An incident may be worth relating, which gives an ides of the rapid growth of fruit, etc , thereabouts. Mr. Selby requested pis lad of abont eight years of age to conduct our party of | gentlemen around the grounds and through the orchards, and he showed them everything | worthy of notice. One of the guests baviog picked an extraordinary apple from one of the trees, gave utterance to bis surprise at its im- meusity, when youthful innocence sara: “Gen- temen, if you will waits litte while longer they will grow still Isrger.” The princely mansion of Mr. Hayward called out many ex- clamations of gratification, and many were at loss Which to most admire, the private gas works, man: sorgeous ner in which Stables were fitted up, the manner in which the grounds were laid out, or the condition in which they were kept. Elated with the pleasares of the day. and much surprised with the quantities and quality of the delicious fruit of the San Jose Valiey, the party reluctamtly entered the train for a retarn to this city, where they arrived about 8 o'clock. The Grand Lodge in a body, in regalia, vis- ited the Fair at the Mechanics’ Institute, on Friday afternoon. where they were formally cel . ne cf the most gorgeous apartments ever seen by the E TR visitors, being com- pored of finely polished laurel and other Cali- fornia woods. Here the “last te” was seen, smd is much visited by those who bad bitherto supposed thst their souvenirs were from the connecting link between the U. P.and ©. P. railroads—its whole and sound condition giv- ig the negative to the statements of the many ‘wood-venders sro’ the count idling | sag ibe “last tie.” It is labeled « ‘be Last ie: the Binding Fie of Friendship between East and West.” The afternoon and eveuing was occupied in viewing the many objecis of interest and curiosity at the Fair, aud the entire exhibition speaks well for the mechanical a =... of California artizans ‘he business of the Grand Lodge having day. Among the resolutions of public interest y t at of public int adopted ts the following : : “Resolved, That we consider the Union Pacific, Central Pacific, and Western Paciti: Railroads, forming as they do one continued line of travel from tke Missouri river to San Francisco bay, among the most important works of the kind that have ever been con- structed on this or any other continent. That the substantial construction of the roads form- ing this great line of communication between the hitherto widely separated parts of this great continent, the comfort, security, and ra- pidity of the travel thereupon, are, iu the jadg- ment of the members of this Grand Body, such as render them eminently worthy of pablic confidence, and reflect the highest credit upon the enterprise, 8kiil and indomitable perseve- rauce of those public-spirited men by whose efforts this admirable medium of travel has been secured to the inhabitants of this great nation, East and West.” Many ct the members leave here to-night for different points on the homeward route—V tej, Grass Valley, Sacramento, the Big Tree: Salt Lake City, Xe. A trip to tbe Cluf Honse, on old ocean’ shore, gave an interesting view of the surging Waters of the Pacific ocean.
