QroTlNG SCRIpTUEE.-A worthy deacon
in the rood town of F. was remarkable for
the facility with which he quoted Scripture
on all occasions The divine word was ever
at his tongues end, and all the trivial, as well
as important occurrences of life furnished
occasions for quoting the language of the BIZ
bic What is better, however, the exemplary
man made his quotations the standard of his
action. One hot day he was engaged in
moving, with his hired man, who was leading
the deacon following in his swath coming
his apt quotations, when the man suddenly
sprang from his place, leaving the swath just
in time to escape wasp's nest.
What is the matter" hurrledly inquired
the deacon
"Wa>p> ~ was the laconc reply.
"Pooh :" said the deacon. 1.-The wicked flee
when no man pur>ucth. but the righteous are
as bold as lion;' and taking the work
mans swath, he moved but step when a
swarm of brisk insects settled about his ears,
and he was forced to retreat, with many a
painful sting, and in great discontinue.
AHA" shouted the other with chuckle,
1.-The prudent man torSceth the evil, and hi
dcth himself, but the simple pass on and are
punished"
The rood deacon had found his equal in
making application of the sacred writing, and
thereafter. was never known to quote Scrip
ture in a moving field.

of Trinity county Immediately organized a
force, placed it under the command Of Capt.
Dixon, and went in pursuit.
On the afternoon of the 22d ult., the scouts
discovered body of Indians cncamped in
small valley at the base of three Mountains
The hour of midnight was selected for the
march. The CalitornianS were divided into
three parties. so as to come upon the Indians
from three points and surround them. At
dav-brcak all were in their desired positions.
when the attack commenced with rifles, pistols
and knives. and in the course of few min
utcs one hundred and fifty men. women and
children were put to death. Only two or
three escaped and but three prisoners, one
woman and two children were taken. Thus.
then. for one life one hundred and fifty were
sacrfccd-SacriGced too without the form of
trial. and indeed without any positive knowl-
edge of the guilt of any.
The story forms bloody chapter in the
history of the gold regions. But thus it has
