VICTIMS OF VERDANcY.-If that old
gentleman generally known as the fool
killer" should happen to visit our city,
he would probably find such on exten-
sive and inviting field, and excellent
material for operations, in his line, he
no doubt would be induced to take up
his permanent abode here. People from
the country, it seems, will not learn un-
til they have personally experienced its
evils, the supreme folly of acknowledge
ing the acquaintance of every stranger
who may make advances to them, imme
diately upon their landing in our city.
They are in the habit Of taking every
loafer who. may address them politely,
for Jolly good fellow" and as such
will yield themselves to the direction of
men of whom they have not the remotest
knowledge. In the end they find them
selves yictimized, and utter complaints
loud and then deep against the authori-
ties for not protecting hem, seeming to
entertain the singular idea that the po-
lice are expected to watch over every
individual member Of the community.
Every little while our attention is di-
rected to instances of this nature. Men
come down from the mines with their
dust, and Immediately become the Oh
jects of the attention Of Il class of scoun-
drels constantly watching for such prey.
The miner drinks with his stranger
friend, and the next morning his money
is all go-e.
A night or so since another individual
was the victim of his own vcrdancy. A
man named McKune suffered himself to
be escorted about the city, by two men
whom he supposed to be " first rate fell
lows" He imbibed several glasses Of
rum with them, and in the end was rem.
dered insensible, having been drugged.
The next morning, upon awaking, he
found himself reclining on the side Of
Of Telegraph hill, and his pockets reliev.
cd Of three slugs, a specimen, and lot
of small change, amounting in all to
about 5000. The rascals who committed
the deed, were Of course not to be found.

WHiGHAM's MILL This mill is stu
;.ted ut the head of Gold Flat and judg-
ing from the present indications, it will,
when completed, be one of Nevada $
'.reatest ornaments. The machinery
as not yet reached the ground, having
srriyed but few days since at San
Francisco. 1t is MIR. Whigham's inten.
tion, however to have it on the ground
within few days, and soon iE opera
ton. Great care has been taken to &C.
cure machinery of n superior quality ;
and the building, so far as the work has
progressed, indicates that the superin-
tendent is not entirely novice in his
avocation. This mill, it is supposed,
will cost about $4,000. Ifit is compile
ted and put in successful. operation for
this amount, it will certain be the re-
suit of great economy and guod manage
ment; for we have good reason to be-
licve that but few, if sny, of the first
class mills have been completed for n
less cost than 80 or 40,000$.
in company with Mr. Whigham we
visited the tunnel through which this
conpanys lead has been opened. We
have often seen specimens far exceed
ing any thing we found there; but we
saw enough to convince us that the
Pitsburg and Gold Flat Co have much
TO hope for. The gold in their quartz
is quite fiae. but in almost any spcci-
men it is to be seen. We were inform
ed that q few tons which had been
crushed from this lead, produced from
40 to COS PER ton.

NIAGARA FALLS CRUMBLING.--

NIAGARA FALLS CRUMBLING. EN-
pires are said to crumble away. They
are won by loaves, they are lost BY
crumbs A little more than year ago,
that portion of 'IIer Majcstys domin-
ions' represented by Table Rock gave
us pretty extensive specimen of this
species of crumbliDg; and last week.
Brother Jonathan, who never permits
himself to be beaten. gave us an exhi-
btion Of the same kind, with an i'm
provement. On Sunday afternoon, q
portion of the precipicc near the tower,
on the south side Of Goat Island, fell
with migty crash. This portion ex-
tended from the edge of the island to-
ward the tower, being about l25 feet
long, and about 60 feet wide, of a some
what elliptical shape, and reaching from
the top to near the bottom Of the fall
The next day another piece, triangular,
with base of about forty feet broke off
just below the tower. But the next
great performance was the most remar-
kable Between the two portions that
had previously fallen, stood a rectangu-
lar projec tion, about thirty feet long and
fifteen wide extending from the top to
the bottom Of the precipice. This i'm
mensc mass became loosened from the
main body of the rock, and settled per-
pendicularly about eight feet, where it
now stands an enormous column, two
hundred feet high, by the dimensions
named above. If it stood out upon an
open plain, rs did Cleopatra's needle
when FIRST reared, how Insignificant the
latter would appear, and what 'reali-
zing sense might we have on a sum-
mers day, Of the shadow Of great rock
in weary land Ii is most probable
that this column will also fall when the
weather becomes warmer. The severi.
ty of the winter, and the long continu-
ance Of the intense cold have produced
these results. They are splendid exhi-
bitions of the slow, persevering. resist
less power of the venerable, white -whis-
kered MIR. John Frost. BY this freezing
process, he disengaged these great mas
ses of rock from the kindred strata, then
held them in his cold hand until the
genial south wind induced him to relax
his hold, and they were precipitated in
to the chasm below.--Nidgara Falls

The RIrrLE Box Co 1t appears
a report has got out that the ditch this
company have been constructing has
proved failure, which we have every
reason to believe is without any foun-
dation. The woik is now finished,
and in successful operation. The ca
nal is Is miles long, and Of a capacity
sufficient TO carry 4 cubic feet of wa

cheney is perceivable, which establish
G. ~. Longs reputation as a compe

ter, for mining, as well as agricultural
purposes, is Of great benefit to the
people of California, and but few, if
any similar undertakings have prom
ised so much real benefit as this and
but few companies have prosecuted
SO large an undertaking with so much
promptness and success.

ORLEANS ESTATES m. Bocher, admins
TRAITOR of the Orleans estates with NM
Delavaigne and Trauchere have been
arrested in France for having in their
possession insurreetionary documents in
favor of the Orleans family. The Lon
don Times explains the offenso of M.
Bocher in this manner.
He is the administrator of the Orleans
property, and his duty is to defend it
against the rapacity of tho Dictator.
When Nj. Dupin and the executors Of
Louis Philippe wrote to Louis Napoleon
telling him that his act was illegal, &C.,
the censors forbade the publication Of
the documents. The Princes, however,
had them printed in England, and then
smuggled into France in false bottoms
of trunks, &c., and NJ. Bocher addressed
himself to house in Paris which dis
tributes parcels over France, to employ
them to scatter these documents, and it
was upon returning frCm business visit
to this house that he was arrested. 1t
is supposed that he will admit the fact (;
but he will pray to be informed by the
court what should be the conduct of a
person who is dispossessed of his proper
ty, and who only demands judge and
the means of preparing his defense, and
what ought he to do when he who de-
spoils him is the more powerful party,
and claims the right to refuse that Judge
and IN uYevent him from making that
defense.

Distressing Accident.-Wc arc in
formed that early on Monday morning
last, the 10Th inst, as Mr.. SiIas Stiles
was starting the machinery Of White
sides crushing machine and saw mill,
at Grass Valley, he was caught be-
tween the belt and driving wheel or
dun, which is some 20 feet in DIANE
ter, and carried once around, being Sc
verely crushed between the drum and
the frame of the mill. AS he came up
with the belt, he was thrown off upon
the ground from a height of 25 feet.
DIR. Mccormick was called in, and
found several of the ribs broken, and
detached from the spine, and a severe
confusion on the head, besides other
dangerous wounds. How he escaped
instant death is difficul to imagine, ms
there was no one witnessed the acci-
dent. His recovery is thought doubt
full.

New BRIDGE.-On last Friday, new
bridge over Deer Creek, on Main st.,
was put under contract, and on Tues
day afternoon it was so far completed
as to be safe and convenient for teams to
cross. This bridge is built some two feet
higher than the old one, which is q very
good thing. But we are sorry to see so
very temporary an affair erected
Evidently it was designed to serve
the present necessity, which earnestly
demanded that the public should have
some facility for crossing and re-crossing
the stream which rushes go furiously
through the midst of our city. But is
it good policy to erect a bridge where it
is so much needed, of so tender capaci-
ties-liable to be carried away by every
freshet. the recurrence of which we have
reason to expect every winter? Ger
tainly, the cost of Two or three such
bridges would be sufficient to build one
that would be permanent for years, and
beyond the reach Of any food we could
reasonably anticipate; besides, we would
be saved the disagreeable necessity of
being one or two months without bridge
ut the time we most need it during
the high waters in winter Broad stree t
crossing still remains unbridged.

DIED.-At the residence of James
Martin, in Mason County, Va, on the
9th inst, Mrs. EMILY, wife of William
White, formerly OF Green Bottom, late
of Greenup County, Kentucky.
The subject of this notice was one Of
those of whom il might be said was born
of the goodness of God, as for many
Years she had been a strict devotee of
those principles laid down in his holy
word. Belonging to that Church known
as the Methodist Episcopal Church
south, she was ever pious and exem-
plary member; indeed she was one of
its brightest ornaments. in parting this
life she has left kind and affectionate
husband and one child to mourn her
loss, notwithstanding large circle of
relatives and friends, VINO were strongly
attached by the social ties of life. But
it is comfort for them to know there is
rest for the children of God. and al
though she is to be seen no more on
earth her virtues will dwelhin the mem
ory of the living. God grant that her
disconsolate and bereayed husband NAV
find a solace for his troubled mind by
looking on high to the giver OF every
good and perfect gift, and may his ire
parable loss be her eternal gain.
Having made her peace with God,
her spirit has doubtless taken its flight
to that bright cline known as the home
of the just, and its name is Heaven.
