Anordinance, fixing the salary Of the Mayor at 5000
Instead or $500, haspassed tIs Common Counch,and on
Monday was read in the Board Of Aldermen, ordered
TO second reading and referred to ue appropriate
committee. 1t strikes us that the reduction is moi very
wenfined. No one, we presume, supposes tlfst The
duties OF the Mayor 0r the year 10 GOMEZ are 10 be any
less arduous OF are to require less Time than has been
necessity during the curreh, year At least no one
who has attended the meetings of the Board of Ader>
men, and Knows how many things have been thrown
forward into the business Of the next political year
The present Mayor has long since given notice of his
determination to retire, and will moi be candidate Tor
Teclecton. II is very important until the affairs OF the
city arranged upon permanent basis, that should
be abe to command the best talent of the city toI this
office When tina, shall have been done, perhaps per>
son with good executive talent, but without the
qualifications in all respects that necessary
may answer the purpose. In the time, we should
be sorry the salary placed so low that the well
qualified man in active life, whose time is valuable 10
himself should be virtually excluded and that the office
should necessarily be Confined either to the rich or the
incompetent.
Again-- seems 10 be the general understanding, that
the free democracy shall have the principal management
of the city affairs for the coming year, and think
they ought have fair chance in the selection of their
officers, aud not have an embarrassment of this kind
thrown in their way

years, and has mother in HolIiston. He was exam,

E1Y1 The Bangor Wing publishes the following
letter, received by gentleman in Brewer, from
his brcther at the Sandwich Islands
PuNAHoN, Nov. 2, 1848.
received letter last week from, dated
Oct. I'd. He writes--actve diggings are now
going on, over a tract more than 200 miles in
length by 10 to 40 in width; to 5000 are pro-
badly mining, and at least So 900 900 have been
drawn from this bank, since ii commenced specie

from nothing up TO a thousand dollars-bu OF
those who labor steadily the average daily income
is probably not far from an ounce. The gold is
found in the stratum called by geoogists dilurc,-
um or DRIFT, composed OF loose pebbles, sands
gravel, and occurs most abundanty in the bot
toms of dry ravines, where it lies from few in
ches to 8 or 4 feet below the surface. When a
new ravine is discovered in what are called the
'sdry diggings," there is an immediate rush for
for it, and it becomes filled with active diggers,
each claiming portion, from few feet TO a few
yards in length; and ditch is soon dug two or
three feet or more in width, and down TO the rock
on which the stratum or drift rests. This ditch
is excavated in few days, and il the ravne is of
ordinary richness, will yield from $500, $1,000,
or $4,000 for every rod in ength-much OF it in
Jumps large enough to be picked out without
washing-some of them of the size of pulets'

My brother adds-One might suppose from
without reading the above that digging gold is
very profitable business but there are other things
to be considered. AT San Francisco, board and
lodging three in bed or on the floor, is from
800 to $50 week. Pork is $50 barrel, and

Why SHOULD ANY MAN SWEAR. | can
conceive OF no reason why he SHOULD, but ten
reasons why he should not.
l. 1t is mean. A man of high moral standing
would almost as soon steal sheep as swear.
2. 1t is vulgar; altogether too low tor decent
man.
3. 1t is co,Dardly; implying fear either of
not being believed or obeyed.
A. Its ungentlemanly. A gentleman, accord
ing to Webster is a genteel man. Well bred re-
fined Such one will no more swear, than go
into the street to throw mud with clod hopper.
5. 1t is indecent; offensive to dehcacy, and
extremely unfit TO human ears.
6. 1t is foolish. want OF deeency is want of
sense.'- Pope
7. 1t is a6usive. To the mind which conceives
the oath, to the tongue which utters it, and to
the person to whom it is aimed.
8. 1t is Uen0nous i; showing mans heart to
be nest of vpers, and every time he swears,
one of them sticks out OF his head.
9. 1t is contemplate forfeitng the respect Of
all the wise and good
10. 1t is tcicked violating the divine law and
provoking the displeasure of Hin who will not
hold him guitless who takes his name in vain.

Itappears that man, named George A Wills,

one house. She having repulsed his advances,
he had been heard to threaten her life in the
event of her persisting in the determination
Having picked up his clothes with the avowed
intention OF going down the river, he suddenly
made an attack upon her in the presence of her
brother, with large knife. The latter rushed
to the rescue, with knife also, and received
from the desperate stab through the hand but
in the scuffle, after sundry passes had been made,
Wills had his knife knocked from his hand, and
then fell, having received thirteen wounds from
his antagonist, almost any of which would have
proved fatal.

- One of the greatest mistorunes, saws
French writer, which France ever had to lament
was the divorce of Louis lie Jeune from Ellpor
Guyenne, which resulted from the fashion which
this prince wished to introduce OF shaving his
chin and cropping his head The queen, his wife,
who appears to have possessed, with masculine
beauty, considerable acuteness OF intellect, OBJ
served with some displeasure that she imagined
herself to have espoused monarch not monk.
The obstinacy OF Louis in shaving himself. and
the horror conceived by Elinor at the sight of
beardless chin, occasioned France the loss of
those fine provinces which constituted the dowrv
OF this princess; and which, devolvine to Eng
land by second marriage, became the source of
wars which desolated France during 400 wears.
For Kicking Cow. A few weeks ago. we
stood Tor some time TO witness an attempt to milk
COW that had just had her calf taken from her,
and who kicked SO furiously as to render it dan
gerous to attempt the operation. Coaxing and
beating were Of no avail, and it at length struck
us to suggest that the kicking leg be tied up.
cord was procured, slip knot in one end pas
sed round the leg below the knee, and the other
end thrown over beam, drawing away on this.
she soon found she had no leg to spare to kick with.
