suns about tn leave fur Californy. If

ney.
To those who dig successfully, he gives
this cheerful admonition:
lfthe minur gets rich let him hurry tu
the States as quick as possibuI. When
he arrives with his munney he will praps
find his consttooshun gone; but a sick
rich man in coarse is better than a poor
rugged one, and when he dies his dust
will be acceptable tu his weepin rela,
shuns.
Ia case the digger gets the limitation
fever" he recommends the following mode
of treatment:
Arter yuve bin at wurk few days in
the sand and water, your legs swell a.
bout the size of a sofer piller, an yure
hed'll begin to swim most all freddy.
Then go to your bufylow robe an lay
down for yure gown to have what they
call the nishiashun fever. The fust thing
you know you'll be out O. your head, but
fyour constitooshun's good, an your not
inclined to appoplecksy, you'll come to
in day or two, but very weke. Meney
"f the minurs is tackled this way several
times doorin the season, but the furst is
alters the wust. The chances for mi
uer living long enuffto make a fortun is
estimated at 25 in 100. and the chances
of maxim fortin if he don'i die in so.
He relates this pleasant and interesting
anecdote:
| reckylect one place on Merrykuu
Fork whar party happened on nigh
ty itch gold patch. Arer they'd bin a
diggiu few days and doin remarkably
we'll, three fellers come along. nice gen
teel lookin chaps, with rings and chains,
jest as like some gents see tother night
in the Park Place as too pins; and one OF
EN- after talkin awhile, produced deck
of keerds and down they all sot in the
sand, to playin poker. 1t warnt long a,
fore all the diggers had, was in the stran,
gers pile. So then the miners went to
work agin, and the strangers went on
smokin their cigars till the poor diggers
had got another pile and then they cleaned
them out agin, and so it went on, dig and
clene out. for abouta weke, when the
gold patch gin out and the strangers
loped with everything the poor devils
had got out oft. This is what the gen.

Curious CIRcUMsTANcE.-One of the
French National Guard, who was sup.
posed to have died from indigestion, pro.
duced by drunkenness, was recently bur-
led in the Department Of the Mayenne.
He was buried with military honors, and
on the firing of the last volley, groan
was heard to proceed from the coffin
which was instantly taken up and opened,
when the supposed dead man rose up,
and, on examination, it was found that
the sergeau; had negigenlly loaded his
piece with bali cartridge;lhe bal had pas.
sed through the thigh of the man. and
thus prevented his premature interment.
The resuscitated man. who was soon cur.
ed of his wound has. .evinced his gratitude
by commencing an action against the ser.
geant, to recover damages for the injury!
