There is certainly great scarcity Of women
in the mines. Any industrious girl here can
earn one hundred dollars per annum. beside
her board either as a domestic assistant. or by
sewing. 1t is strange that the girls have mol
enterprise enough to go where they can earn
a comfortable living. Thousands of amiable,
intelligent and handsome girls are living 10
penury 10 the Atlantic cities. who, if here,
would be provided with comfortable homes
The influence Of one viriuous and refined wo-
man, will subdne more ferociiy than half
dozen green missionaries. We Judge Of what
might be. by what has been. The old miners,
who lived here early, in those days of vio-
ence, when digger was willing to pay
quarter of dollar to look at bonnet, well
know this fact.
Il is said that when the first woman came
to the mines, more than one hundred applica-
lions for lease of her, were filed. in one day.
in The Office Of the Lead Agent From that
time until the present as women have multi.
plied~and the social ties and affections Of men
have been called into exercise, the tone Of NOR.
ais has improved, and society has grown more
peacable, and more refined.

lowing:
A day or two since. as drove of cattle were
passing up the Bowery, buli.terrier jumped
from the top of stage on which he was chain.
ed. in front of the theatre. broke his chain in
his fall TO the ground, dashed into the herd,
and seized young steer by the nose. The
affrighted bullock, smarting with pain, went
off at full speed up the Bowery, with the dog
clinging TO his nose, and all the time swinging
clear of the ground. The steer would stop
occasionally, and endeavor to rid himself Of
the ugly jewel in his snout, by dashing it on
the ground, and agains, the walls, the posts,
and the trees, in his course. but still the inter
rifed dog held his grip, and would not be sha.
ken off nor beaten off. The bullock kept on
straight up the Bowery, with his tail high
above the head Of 'the common herd until he
was arrested at Vauxhall Garden by some
men who thought he had carried the joke we
should say dog-far enough. and who sat
abou, liberating the poor beast from the misery
he seemed to be in, when to ,hier utter aston
ishment they ascer,ained that the dog was
dead. The bullock, in his tremendous efforts
TO knock him off, had beaten the breath out of
him, but he did not resign his hold even in
death. We do not believe that a parallel to
this can be found in the history of the canine
race. The owner of the dog bad frequently
refused two hundred dollars for him.

Ma. EDITOR 81 beg leave to call the a,,en-
lion Of your readers to new and economical
cooking apparatus. made by our ingenious
townsman, A. b. Southworth. II is double
tin oven--lhat is, the heat surrounding the
oven, is confined between an inner and an outer
tin partition, so that the process of cooking in
it. is as steady and as equable as in brick
oven. Bread, meat. biscuit, or any thing thai,
requires baking, may be cooked in il better than
10 any cooking stove. For summer cooking it
ia altogether superior to a stove or fire place |;
as i. throws off scarcely any heat. and may be
placed out of doors or wherever you like. A
pint Of charcoal in 1t, will make heat enough
for cooking.
