, The Jews in San Francisco have orga- . nised an immigration society, for the pur- ■ pose of aiding persons of their faith in ' Europe to come to the United States. ; The town of Curigo, in Chili, is reported , to be at the mercy of a gan of thieves and f assassins. Robberies without number have lately taken place, doors and window a being burst open and walls perforated i with comparative, impunity. The In- ; tendente, it is said, sleeps with the "doors > of his house locked, bolted, and barred in t a manner that clearly indicates he does I not consider himself secure from the- : attacks of the' marauders with which the F city is iufeated. Besides the before-men- - tio'nwii i rocautions, the chief dignitary of r ; the province keeps ready, at the side. of L his bed, a vast number of revolvers, rifles, r carbines, swords, life-preservers, and toasting forks, and from all accounts he > is resolved to sell his life dearly, if his i doors and troop of dogs should, ever yield »; to the onslaught^ of any gang of thieves > who.- may be bold enough to attack him.
