EXTRAORDINARY SPEED.-The quickest
time made yet between Stockton and this
place was by Mr.. E. S. Wilson, expressman
of Reynolds, Todd & Co. Mr.. Wilson re-
mained in Stockton three days waiting for
the mail per steamer Panama, which ar
rived in Stockton on Thursday, at twenty
minutes past six o'clock. He started with
it at twenty y-six minutes after six, and ar
rived here at exactly thirty minutes past
ten o'clock making the whole run, without
counting delays in changing animals, in
four hours and four minutes, He lost
twenty-five minutes changing horses,
which leaves the running time three hours
and forty two minutes. He changed horses
six times, but when within four miles of
this place his animal gave out, and he was
obliged to stop teamster and hire o mule
to come in on. This swift express enter
prise has cost about two hundred dollars
None know better the Importance of early
deliveries Of express matter than journal
lists, and we cordially extend our thanks to
Mr.. Wilson for the promptitude and indie
fatigable energy which he has shown, not
only on this, but on previous occasions, in
delivering US our letters and papers.

FRU1r-Mr. T. W Bosworth, the oblig-

and as luscious and beautiful a bunch of
grapes as we have seen in the country We

luxurics of the mines, to call on him.

A RCsH.-Our streets, valleys and lill-
sides presented curious spectacle on last
Monday afternoon. 1t seemed as if every
habi.ation and cayote hole in the whole
neighborhoeGll'd suddenly vomited forth
its denizens, who NJ Immediately, and as if
by common consent, joined in general
sweepstakes race, the goal being the north
crn slope of Stockton Hill. Blacksmi tbs
deserted their forges- carpenters dropped
their tools-teamsters left their animals to
take care Of themselves-thosew who were
eating late dinner let fall knife and fork
upon the rattling plates as though electri-
fed, and started ON the uphill race, deter
mined to win or-care, while the women
cheered on their favorites with clamorous
voices. The cause of all this hubbub, was
a report, which, having got abroad, spread
like wildfre. that big strike had been
made on that side of the hill by lucky
party, and twenty-five dollars pan, as first
reported, was soon magnifed to a seventy
pound lump. The who c hill was staked off
in claims, and since then hundreds of miners
have been at work upon them. Although
the g big strike was, in truth, only about
seventy-fve cents sack, we have hopes
that some Of the many who are now sinking
holes upon that slope Of the hill will yet
find rich lesd

CURIOUS REL1c-J udge Putney, of Muir
physville, has now in his possession a piece
of rock which is called Chinese Marble,
upon which appesrs to nave been drawn
with some indellible matter, most beauti-
ful landscape view. The scene represents a
well defined forest; the low shrubbery and
chaparal in front, and towering pines and
other trees rising in the background The
color of the lines in the drawing is about
such as is produced by dark lead pencil
upon white paper. The rock is BEAUTIFULLY
variegated in color, and is about one foot
long, eight inches wide and five or six inches
deep. Other pieces of rock of the same de-
scriptien but somewhat smaller, bearing
the same perfect pencillings, are in possess
sion of other persons in that neighborhood
These curious specimens were found in the
bed of the creek into which Judge Putney's
claims extend They are very highly priced
by those who own them, and we have as vet
found it impossible to abtain specimen. A
fine field is here laid open for the Antigua
rian. Are these the relics of race of hu-
man beings now extinct? or are they only
quaint but natural formations of rock

THE TWO GATES.

There are two starry gates, like Morn and Eve,
Flung back along the thresholds of plain,
VIII re Earth looks out upon watchful Heaven,
And Heaven looks in upon the Earth again.
One lifts its pillars from sea of flowers,
And pours along the lands a flood oflght;
The other wraps in clouds its iron towers,
And half the world around is lost in night
White robed and innocent, in linked hands,
Young children crowd the first, with dreamy
eyes,
And pluck the lilies there with eager hands,
The so e surviving boomers ofParadise.
Youth leads them down the path, but soon de-
parts,
And Manhood beckons to its stern estate,
Save when the angels fold them to their hearts,
And bear them swiftly through the iron gate.
Some urge their chariots to the distant goals;
Some wallow in the mire OF their sensual things;
And some preserve the wheness of their souls;
And walk beneath the shade ofangers wings.
The monarchs feast in purple robe and crown,
The ragged beggar sarves for want fbread,
The laurelled conquerors reap their red renown,
Where widows weep, and orphans wall their
dead.
But all in turn are borne across the plain,
Or swift or slow, BY some resistless fate,
With which they strive from year to year-in vain
Impelled for ever toward the shadowy gate.
Some in their youth, while hope still waves her
torch,
And some in age, when locks are>thin and white,
Cropping their way along the cloudy porch,
Until they vanish in the yawnng night.
All vanish there, and are replaced again,
By myriads more, that tread the path they trod,
And God looks down upon that host of men,
But few of all that host look up again TO God.

Things INTERESTING. To see a husband,
who before marriage used to take his lady love
to ride twice week, and lest she should get a
dusty slipper or damp feet, always bring the
chaise into the parlor--almost; and then lift her

having consented to take his wife out for the
the first time in six months-drive home a team

three rods from the door, and bawl to her to
"come and get in.'
TO hear woman accuse her lover of fhaving
lost all affection for her, because he happens to
come home some evening and omts to give her
as fervent kiss as she used to receive in the
days OF her courtship after months separation.
To see woman make home hateful, and
then blame her husband for not loving it.
To hear the father of ten babies, scoding the
mother because home is not as quiet as it was
during their honeymoon.
To see woman expect to retain her hus.

to those things by which it was won at the first.
