The Wheel-Barrow Emigrant Returned—Many of our readers will remember the account published in all the newspapers, nearly two years ago, of a California emigrant, who crossed the plains "on foot and alone," with a wheel barrow, conveying all his earthly goods. that is, his provisions, clothes, tools, &c., in that humble vehicle, and outstripping in his march, numbers who started for the land of gold, with more showy and expensive appointments. His name is Brookmire and he is an Irishman by birth. His residence is at Warren in Pennsylvania, where he left a wife and family of children in very indigent circumstances, when he went over the Rocky Mountains to "try his fortune."

Brookmire has lately returned from California, with about $15,000 of the "dust." all of which he dug and washed out with his own hands. As it is very apt to pour when it rains, his wife received legacies during his absence to the amount of $15,000. falling to her upon the death of some relatives in Scotland.
