WIsTAR's BAIsAM OF WILD CHERRY.--The
great success attending the use of this Bal
sam in Pulmonary diseases, having natural
ly attracted the attention Of physicians and
others, various opinions and surmises have
arisen with regard to its component parts,
some have supposed it to contain iodone.
others mercury, ect-, and to such substances
they attribute its extraordinary efficacy.
Such opinions being entirely erroneous, and
calculated to prejudice many persons against
the medicine, we pledge ourselves that it
contains nothing of the kind, or anything the
least injurious, on the contrary, it is compo~
sed principally of extracts from the MOSS
of Iceland, WILD CHERRY, and the PINE
from northern latitudes. See advertisement

SyMpToMs OF DISEASE should never be
disregarded. They are unerring indications
that the vital functions of nature have been
interrupted in heir healthful action, and that
serious evils must inevitably follow, unless
the system be again set right by the timely
use Of proper remedies.
Bear in mind that nature is ever endeav-
Ioring to expel disease when it invades the
animal economy, and only needs the assists

SlocKINC MuRDER.--Mr Edward
Clifford formerly of New Bedford, oflate
doing business at Fosters Bar. and ex-
tensively known as the owner of Foster
and Bullard Bar Bridges was murdered
on Thursday last, on his return from
DownieviIle The circumstances of the
murder and finding Of the body are
reported to us by Mr.. L. Lockwood .
Mr. Clifford stopped at the Neglo tent
for dinner, after which he proceeded on
his journey, mounted on mule. The
animal returning to the tent late in the
afternoon without rider, suspicious
were excited and several men went out
for the purpose of obtaining information,
but returned unsuccessful On Friday
the search was renewed and the mule
in question being used, stopped at a Ger.
tain place on the road, smelt the ground,
and showed evident symptoms of unwil-
lingneas to proceed. Upon this, the
party halted, and examining an ada
cent ravine, the remains of the unfortu-
nate man were discovered. On Satur-
day, man was arrested on suspicion,
and taken to Nugent's Ranch, whore he
is to undergo an examination. This in
dividual had been on Fosters Bar few
days previously, without means, but, on
his apprehension, $3.50 was found on his
person, in accounting for which he has
been detected in several falsehoods -

MEssRs. EDIToRs,-On Sunday before
last, Mr.. Jules Byron started from Con-
cord Bar, on the Middle Yuba, and went
to Snow Tent, four miles distant to buy
a few things he needed. MIR. Gaspard,
a German, going up, met him coming
back, half way about eleven o'clock, in
the forenoon. He was in company with
two Indians, and since that time he has
not been seen. The next day twelve
of US went out to look for him but could
find no traces of him. We then went
to Snow Tent to inquire for him. the
landlord told us that he came there
early in the morning, took single glass,
and bought pair of boots Two Indi-
ans, one Of them boy, soon came in,
and Byron shook hands with them, and
talked with them in friendly manner.
Half an hour after, Byron paid his bill,
showing his purse in doing it. He had
considerable msney with him, perhaps
Sl60, and the Indians saw it. He then
started back, and the Indians followed
him. We searched in vain all through
the neighborhood but did not find any
trace of Byron. There is strong pre-
sumptiye evidence that q murder has
been committed in this case.
The next day, we sent some men to
find the Indians, but they had left their
camp the day before Jules Byron,
believe, has been murdered for his mo-
ney. Now, ask, why sell so freely to
the Indians? Why not inquire where
they get their money from : None of
them work, and generally they have
dust and coin.
Abeut month ago a man from Phila-
delphia Bar, on the Middle Yuba, was
attacked by Indians, in crossing Bloody
Run, and his horse received an arrow
in the nose. Another man from Con-
cord Bar, was asked for his tobacco and
other things, by party Of ten Indians;
and after getting it they told him,
s'yamos quick"
If any of those who were on the Mid
die Yuba last summer, should meet that
we'll known Indian, named Jack, who is
about twenty-five years of age, they
should bear these circumstances in mind,
and if he is found guilty of the murder
of Byron. give him justice,

made rapid geological tour in the dl-
rectien Of Grass Valley, to rub up old
notions Of geology, and obtain new ones,
from our scientific companion. The keen
eye Of the perienced geologist pointed
out the granite running into slate, the
slate into sienite, that into copper-bear-
ing quartz, then tale, then granite again,
finally giving place to the rich quartz
apparently almost underlying Grass
Valley, and ribbing all its hills. We
visited every mill in the place, gathered
statistics and specimens showing the
average yield of the various veins, and
comparing the various modes of opera
ton. In one of these mills we observed
an improvement over the usual process,
at once simple and effective, which pro-
prietors would do well to copy. We
refer to the stamps and mortars eonnec-
ted with the mill Of Messrs Collins,
lTOSSet " 10. His ullii Will tch o1hH Ps
will crush thirty tons in twenty-four
hours, and these stamps have been
in use some four months, and yet the
uear in them is almost uapercepiibte. On
examining the construction of the stamps
and mortars, we were not surprised at
this result. The stamps are very large,
IA by inches on the face. The mortars
in which these stamps play are twenty
four inches wide. The advantage of
this is, the quartz instead of packing
down in solid mass, as it will in con-
fined mortar has plenty of room to fly
about, the fine is elected through the
seivc, and the coarse is constantly fall
ing under the stamps. Take a handful
of salt and put it in hand mortar and
pound ii with pestle of the size of the
mortar, and it will crowd down in q solid
mass, and at the bottom the Jumps will
be as coarse after an hours pounding as
when they were put in, whereas, if the
mortar is roomy, the salt is in constant
motion, and soon pulverizes. This is the
phi losophy Of these roomy mortars and
wide stamps, and it is obvious, as well
as decided by experiment, that the wear
on the stamp must he less when large
face strikes fairly on the quartz, and the
grinding from the sides is removed. A
set of stamps on the usual pattern are
used up in few months, and if those
erecting mills will but observe the sim
pie philosophical principle applied by
the company we have named, they will
not only be able 10 do immensely more
work with the same number Of stamps,
but save large item of expense in
