The San Francisco correspondent of the New yt fc; Spirit of the Timesj ' under date of June 5ib, iiOtes the' following ttrange phenomenon: A most singular metamorphosis, followed by curious results, showing the effects of bur climate on Borne people occurred here, which is worth relutiog. About four years since a man from the Eastern States came to this coun try to engage iu mining. lie went up to Tou lumne, aud cemmenced laboring in a claim on Wood's Creek. In a short time his hair, which wa of a light brown or auburn color,-: Commenced to fall off, and soon there was not a solitaiy hair to be discovcrcd on any part of ' his body 1 , He was as guiltless of hirsute cov ering as a marble statue. Siogular to relate the man's generl health was good during the time of this peeling. ,13ut, what is more remarkable, the general physical appearance of the man be gan V change rapidly. Ho was origitally flong, lank and lean," but now be began to assume, FallstafEau proportions. - Although a large boned person, when he came to this coun try be only weighed about 160 pounds) but in . seven'weeks after his arrival at the mines his weight was upwards of S00 pounds. L All things muse have an end, an! so did our hero's in crease in size come to a stop. Then it was that his Lair began to grow. But now, strango to say, his hirsute appearance, instead of being auburn color, aTe coal black. Instead of sandy whiskers, he ha whiskers as black as jet, and so on. One would naturally think that the individual had rown out of the recollection of Lis friends. Now, the ; hero of this singular transformation, when he left homo, left behind a , wife whom he lqvefl 'as the apple of his eye. After residing here about three years, he sent for her. She came' full of -lore and affection to meet her long, absent lord. When ,the steamer arrived, a'very large man, with very 'black hair aud whitkefs, 'met her and claimed her as his wife. - She repudiated him. He re'mcnstrktd ' and -explained. She would not hear to him; fur the had hoard of the wicked tic ps of this" country; and she ; was cautious. She endeavored for two months to find the hus band who had left her, then gave him up for dead, and returned to her old home sorrowful and broken hearted. The metamorphosed , hasbuud is Mill hcre, and bitterly does he curse the change in the fortune? which so altered the ' 'complexion of hi3 personal affairs, that Vi bis . his own wife canuot recognize him. r At pres ent i theje is not the least prospect of losing his superabundant flesh or of his hair agujn chang : ing color." , - - -.. - - "' ' ' - ; ;.. ; ' " v Clerks at Wa$7anrlon.

One r. two New England papers are arguing the question; Who ikilled. Mageejr, murderer who was hanged in Boston few weeks ago but whose body exhibited evidence of life and vi tality at the 'subsequent dissection. . A report of the posl 'mortem examination, publicbed in the Medical and Surgical Journal, suggest the tdea that Msgee was not killed by the bang man's rope but by the scalpel of the surgical operator; that enough lift remained after the hanging far pre per appliances to have fanned itself into an active flame.. The , report saja: "The body was lowerd at 25 minutes past 10, at which time a careful examination of the chest revqaled 'rp preceptible sound or im pulse of the heart. A. small gae tinder the left ear seemed to ; have esoaped active 'com. SressioD, so .that iom- circulation'' may have een con tinned, through car olid and jugular of that tide.- r.-, i , . ,,.-, ; '"Atafew tninutes past jleven, Dr Ellii commenced the autopsy, at the House of Recep tion. Xhe body was pali and. the,, skin, mot tled. A small ecchymosia was noticed jut before the line of the cord on the right side. The right sterno-cledo muscle was ruptured through one half of its thickness. No leiion was discoverd in any of .the other soft parts of the neck. "At 11.30' a slight but regular pulsatory movement was observed in the right subo'a vain vein. Upon applying the ear to the chest, this was ascertained to proceed from the heart itself, which gave a 'distinct. aid regular beat, wfth a slight impulse, 80 times a minute. The chest was then opened,-and the heart exposed, without it any .way arresting, the pulsatory movements. Tha right oracle waa in fall and regular motion, contrasting and dilating with beautiful . distinctness , and energy. . At 12 o'clock, the rpinal cord bavins been previous! v divided, the number of contractions was, 40 per minute, having continued wita only a shoit intermission regularly up to this time. "The peculiar 1 movements of the anterior wall of the right auricle' gradually but occa sionally recurred, either, spontaneously, or ex cited by a passing current of air, until 13 4 o'clock. They could at any moment bo exci ted by the point of-the scalpel. "At 1:45 the - movements still continued without stimulons. Five were, noticed ia a minute, with correeponding intervals. At 2.45 all automatic movement ceased, but tho part still responded to the stimulus of the .knife At 3 10 deep irritation of the same kind was followed by slight movements. The irritabil ity was most marked at the lowr part, where thevvense cava enter the auricle. At 3. IS all movements ceased. Oa opening the heart, it was louna to be' perfectly normal. The left ventricle was contracted ; the right not. No coagula were found.' "Dr Amsworth remarked that all the ap pearances usually observed in cases of hanging were here wanting, and thought that the first effect of the suddeu fall was a powerful con cussion of the brain, which paralysed the bo ujr, as iu cases wnere m diow or iau isreceivea j - 2.1 1.1 . . i upon the extremity of the sacrum, and that death occurred afterward from strangulation. "Ur Ulark expressed tb opinion that as there was no lesion of any important organ, re suscitation might possibly have been accom pushed by artificial respiration, if efforts to that end had bee a made immediately upon the lowering of the body from the scaffold that is, within half an hour after he Icll. MAKING A GOOD THING OF IT. Some Ave or six weeks ago we copied the following paragraphs from the report of the Senate's proceedings : - "A communication from the Secretary of War was received relative to the proposed pur chase of a site for the erection of a fortification for the protection of the harbor of . San Francis- CO. . ; , "Mr. Fepsenden objected to the price demand ed, $200,000, and said he thought the necessi ty was not so urgent that Congress should sub mit to such an-enormous imposition,. "Mr. Gwin said the site was indUpensible for protection, and henco- they should not hes itate about the price. " ' . I "Mr. Broderick declared that the wole ranch was not worth $7,000. The subject was then referred to the Miliary Committee." ' Gwin and Broderick were both Senators from California, and knew all about the location and its value. Recalling their antecedents (G win ran away from Mississippi with the govern ment, money, and Broderick was a New York rowdy of the claps which "runs with the ma-sheen,")--tho conclusion was irresistible that Gwinor some friend of his was interested in the ranche and Broderick and his friends prob ably interested in some other" ranche. " Sure enough, the last mails from California bring the San Erancisco Herald of June 5th, ..i.i ii i - - whu tno louowmg paragrapn: . By the last steamer we received the rumor that it was proposed to fell the Government a piece of land at Point Bontia for the erection of a fort for the sum of $200,000. It is a matter of doubt as to whether the whole coun ty of Marin, in which Point Bonitia is located, would bring that much in the market to day A ranch embracing some four or live leagues ox lana tying 'aong ice uiy oi cau xruciw:o was eold a short time ago" for $10,000 or $15- 000. Point Bonitia is a very proper place to erect a- for t:fi cation, but' we . presume that enough of land for that pur pore could at any time be purchased for at the utmost I,UUO. It is to be hoped that our Senators and Repre sentatives in Congress will prevent the con summation of this bargain. They are acquain ted with tho value of property in that neigh borhood." " ' v. -. - J . ' We believe the purchase was not ordered at the late session of Conross; probably because the eupply of swindles on hand, Pert Snelling, Willetra Point, &c. was am pie. fcy. Ol. .Curran was a rare wit, but even he sometimes met with his match. He was oner examining a cross grained, ugly faced witness from whom he in vain sought to obtain. a direct answer. At lencth he exclaimed " It is no use trying to get the tiuth out of you; for I aee the villian in jour face I . Do vour air 7" retorted the . man. with win.

Tho Museum i? alio under obligation to the wo!l directed harpoon of Mr. Porch er for a pair of Ground Shark'a jaws, and an entire skeleton of tho same animal. We must not omit to mention that a highly prised tpecimen was contributed several jeara ago by Cyrus Fennick, e colored fisherman. : ' That the long back bone competed of huge links, worked by 'powerfol muicles, and the open jaw through which a man of respectable dimensions might pass without tearing his coat against the terrible rota of teeth, deepen tho dread these formidable animals always iatpite. Even to the calm clear eye of truth the Shark presents traits and endowments that only excite loathing and fear. Everybody shrinks wiln horror from the idea of encountering him in his own domain. Dot while those who have stu died his habits most closely eannot utter a syl lable in his favor, and he if universally admit ted to be the fiercest fihiu the set, alsrajs fam ishing for blood and fit sb, nill he ii not quite 60 formidable as he generally U soppoiei to be. Let oa atrip him of all-4bo.powcr to hsrm with which fancy, acted upon by fear, has invested him.- Perchance It may help oa to keep a trare heart until succor corner, if we are frci to swim in waters infeatedby these creatures. Of course their tusk like and angular teeth have a great deal to do with the feelings to which we have alluded. Everybody concludes in looking into the cipucious mouth that all those teeth arranged it. seven or eight rovr along the upper and lower jws, come into play when they are about to close on the quivering victim. It is commonly believed that when iiis cold blood ii warmed for th moment by excitement he has the power of erecting all those teeth lying there flaily upon each other. We'are happy in being able to pronounce this an error. The teeth that bristle along the edge f . i i 1 1 . ..." oi iuo jw, uu irom iuo ouyi-io row, are all whose services be can command. The other teeth are of no more use to biro while there, than they would bo if they were ia our mouth. They are disposed in regular rows, each tooth lying nearly horiiootal and pointing inwards. Those that compose, tbo last row Wro cq&js oi jeny wnen tne animal was alitc: the two last lines are readily indented; the other vary to degrees of hardners; those just behind the sharp, erected ones, afe srcoothly" coated with enamel and ready for use whenever they shall be called upon. Nature is ever employed in manufacturing teeth in the deep, broad groves of these powerful maxillary bones. We may analyxe the substances of which they are com posed, and trace the gradual and beautiful pro cess up to the time she'puts the finishing touch upon them: That shioing front row, with ser rated 'edges, can cut smoothly through the thigh bone; but, in 'hie blind 1 1 pacify, the Shark very often1 : tries them on substances . harder than bono,' and then they are broken. The teeth in repose on the second row then become erect and advancing forward, take the place of those destroyed ; and thus as ono Is lvt, there is always another waiting .to , Jo, duty in that emgularly ifHune. watfare n be,, wages And although we may nerer .hope, to confront shivering a Shark that cannot bite, because toothless yet we tuay draw consolation from tho fact that while he has about three hundred only about fifty of this terrible number ean be brought to bear "upon, the quivering flesh. Theso fifty are, however, always most happy to respond to the clameroua' demands ot his insat iable maw ; and one of his bites is dinner for a dozen lusty boys fresh from .school.

The White Shark is the mot dreadful cf a!i faciei on account if bis greater eixe, flcclness,etrength and -ferocity. That bark bone and jaw aspended over the sea devi'f one belonged. to a Whlto Shark about twelve feet long. We need never car being devoured by coo more than three feet longer than this skeleton.

Well, wo Etd by measarement, that the teeth of this shark are: only half ioch in length; and that many of the fossil teeth are fire and three fourtu inches long, an J weigh two and qear- ter pouedt. Professor Apuh demoostntet by a simple calculation, that tho Shxrkj that once ujcd thesetatth must have been tlx! reel long; and .he think It highly trcbable that they greatly exceeded this amaxing length.
