The Gold Hunter and the
Daguerreotype.

A care-worn man, with haggard brow,
| Sullen, and gloomy, and cold,
Hurries fast through Sacrafnente's streets,
For his heart is fixed on gold.
A year has gone by-a lonely year,
Of toll, and peril and strife;
And an ocean rolls its waves between
The wanderer and his wife.
Is he happy' All, did ye not hear,
As he passed, that weary sigh?
And needed ye not that restless glance,
Of his wild and sunken eye?
A stranger greets him moment and leaves
A package; for his hand;
Eager he breaks the seal, as he sees
That it comes from his native land.
A small clasped case-he touches spring,
When, like the light Of star,
Two sweet faces look up into his,
Laughing out, "Here we are Pa"
Grell hound he stands-"Here we are Pap
Their gentle voices he hears,
But he cannot speak-the words are choked
In bursting flood Of tears.
What now to him are the sparkling sands,
In the mountain streams that shine?
He'd give them all, could those little arms
Round his neck again entwine.
Than bo curSoJ tho Jon,op &C +Lo ,,,;,,o
Whose serpent tongues had told
Him the tempting lie, that happiness
Must be bought with yellow gold.
For he felt that natures purest gem
is TEAR, when true friends part;
And LOVE, the brightest diamond in
The mine of the human heart.
That night he dreamed of his cottage
On the slope of a sunny hill, home,
And he saw the gold of his harvest fields,
And heard the hum of the mill.
His pale, lone wife, by the window sat,
Rocking her baby to rest,
And sobbed as she kissed its dinpled hand,
And gazed on the far, blue West!
His children shouted, '.Here we are, Pa"
Two girls and a romping boy
And his old dog leaped up to his lips,
And barked long and loud for joy.
An outward-bound ship, with n spangled
flag,
Flies swift through the white sea foam;
And care-worn man sings mournful!y,
ooh, there is no place like home.''

side of Marysville, 81 head Of cattle out
of a drove of five hundred. One of tho
owners who came down on the boat says
that the remainder are probably drowned,
as the water was rising too rapidly to
allow them to escape.
On Sunday morning horrible affair
occurred at French gulch, 16 miles north
of Shasta. A man named Hall, who had
separated from his wife fortnight previ-
ously by mutual consent, visited an apart
ment where she was sleeping with her
paramour, and attacked them both witt
IA knife, cutting them across the face ana
person so terribly that there is no possibi
lity of their recovery. Immediately afte,
the act was committed Hall came int
Shasta and gave recital Of the affair
No attempt at arrest.
The county of Trinity is almost de-
populated. Flour has been selling n
Weavervile at 81 25, but owing to small
stocks packed over by Cram, Rogers &
Co.'s Express, and Mr.. Lynch, tho
prices have been reduced to 95 cents.
Not word has yet been heard from

The road between Tehama and Shasta
is strewn with the wrecks of wagons, and
teams stuck fast in the mud. There is a
large amount of provisions between these
places.
The total losses by the recent fro

An old joker, who was never known to
yield the palm to any antagonist in reel

at hearing "A traveller state, that he once
saw brick house placed upon runners,
and drawn up hill to more favorable
location some half mile distant. "What
do you think of that, Uncle Ethel %
said the bystanders go fudge!' said the
old man. "l once saw a two-story house
down east drawn by oxen three miles," a
dead silence ensued, the old man had evi-

gathering all his energies, he bit off a
huge piece of pigtail by way of gaining
time for thought; "they drawed the stone
house," said the old man, ejecting guam

''but that warn't the worst Of the Job; for
after they had done that, they went back
