WEAvERvILLE, May 4, 1S5.

Our little town is rapidly recovering from the
effects of the late conhagration. Fine substan-
tal buildings are being erected in the places Of
those destroyed and in few weeks our streets
will present finer appearance than before the
fire swept In its destructive course over them.
Many excellent buildings have already been
completed. Among the number is the new
Union Hotel, erected by Messrs. Schnabel & Co.,
the opening of which with a ball. was mention
ed In our last communication.
Nothing particularly worthy of note has trans
pired among us during the past week. Business
Of every description seems to be in IA Furnishing
condition. and the town presents very lively
appearance. The miners generally are doing
extremely well. and every day or two we hear
of some new rich diggings being discovered.
The District Court commencedis session here
on Monday. Hon. J. NJ. Peters presiding. This
is the first District Court that has been held
in Weavervilie. There is considerable business
before the Court. aud its session will probably
he prolonged some TWO or three weeks. We be-
eve that this is the first occasion on which
Judge Peters has exercised the duties of his
office, and he has certainly made most hatter-
ing debut-eveiy admirng the dignity, conr-
tesy and ability with which he discharges the
duties of his office. He will undoubtedly make
Il most excellent Judge. ADOBE.

MEssRs. EDIroRs After several DAYS of
blowy, snowy. rainy haily. cloudy weather, our
town was visited this morning with a curious
yellowish appearance covering the earth and
objects around, which, on examination, proved
to be the effects Of the sun, much to my aston
ishment-indeed, SO much so, that could not
help smiling"
In despite OF the bad weather, however, we
have had series of amusements admirably
adapted TO the spirits of the people here. Thus
the men have had the pleasure of seeing ali In
dian logged with fifty stripes for horsc-stealing.
Also, May-day Dinner Party held at the Yreka
Hotel, on which occasion Mr.. Stevens, the
thy landlord, furnished the best dinner ever got
up Ill the town. About twenty or more gentle
men were in attendance. The toast, song and
jest, interspersed with the juice of the grape,
followed each other in rapid succession and at
en- early hour all left highly pleased with the
entire affair, and conscious of having done
their duty to God, their country and them
selves" Judge Westbrook presided in most
able manner, assisted by Frank Rogers, who
always comes out right side up. There
no ladies present, as owsng to the great amount
of business transacted by them at their late Con-
rention, none OF them had yet recovered from
their fatlgues on that occasion. AS aeon rs l

Cure of Group.

Dr.. Fisher, of Boston, relates in lato num-
Der Of the Medical Journal a case in which q
severe attack ofcroup was cured by the applica-
ton Of Sponges wrung out of hot water to tho
throat together with water treatment, which
he describes rs follows:
Soon after making the first application of
sponges to tho throat, wrapt the child in q
wooden blanket, wrung out in warm water as
substitute for warm bath, and gave twenty
drops of wine of antmony in little swcetened
water, which she swallowed with difficulty. l
persevercd in the applications Of the hot, moist
sponges for an hour, when tho child was so
much relieved that ventured to leave il.
These applications were continued through
the night, and in the morning the child was
well.
1t will never do to tribe with this terrible
disease. The quicker the remedies arc applied
the better.
When the peculiar cough that indicates
Group is first heard, the application to the
throat and chest of napkin saturated in cold
water is one of tho best remedies in the world :,
and almost certain to produce timely relief
We have seen very severe attacks curod in a
marvellously brief space Of time by tho sim
pie but powerful application of water either
hot or cold.
