SINGULAR OccuRRrNcr-we wero informed

SINGULAR ROCCURRENCE.-Wew were informed
few days since of a singular occurrence
which came off at Snowy Point, week or
two ago which is as follows A couple of
Americans working near company of Chi
naman, were one day called upon by several
of the Cinnamon who stated that they intend
ed leaving Immediately, (this being Thurs
day,) and wished to make bargain with
them for burying Chinaman on Saturday.
The price was agreed upon. and the under
standing perfect. On the next day, sure en-
ough, the Celestials had all disappeared
Having curiosity to see the object of their
solemn duty the Americans went down to the
cabin designated, where they found a tall,
fine looking Chinaman sitting all alone and
apparently in perfect health. Upon their en-
tcring the room, he arose, received them
courteously, and by signs and words gave
them to understand that he was the person
they had agreed to bury on the following day,
and expressed an anxiety that they should not
forget their promise They were Of course
much surprised at the singularity OF the re-
quirement, but they nevertheless renewed
their promise and left tie cottage Upon
their leaving, they noticed the Chinernan- ro-
ing over little hill in an opposite direction.
On the following day, full Of curiosity. they
returned to the Chinese cottage, confidently
expecting to be made the but of some ruse,
when. to their utter astonishment, they found
the same Chinaman laying extended upon
his couch. dead Upon careful examina-
tion of his person, they found no signs of vio-
lenee but to the contrary, everything seemed
to convey the evidences of a natural death.
They of course took the dead body and gave
it decent burial, but the mystery of his
death will of course forever remain secret.
1t is possible that he had a strong PRESENT.
ment of his end, so strong that acting upon
his system, it actually put an end to his life !;
but more probably it was brought about
through the agency of poison. 1t was how
ever, suggested by the gentlemen who related
the circumstances to us, that it may be a aCdy

MOUNT GEORGE MILLs.-We have on diff
Quartz and Saw Mills in the vicinity of Grass
Valley. One of the finest we have seen how
ever, has hitherto escaped our attention. We
allude to the Mount George Steam Saw and
Quartz Mills, situated about one mile East of
Grass Valley on the North branch of "Wolf
Greek" in one of the prettiest valleys in the
mountains. The Mills are owned by the Mt.
George Mining and Lumber company; they
are capable of manufacturing from ten to fif-
teen thousand feet of lumber per day-besides
crushing as many tons of quartz. Mr.. R., Ag't
for the company, informs US that they have
purchased and design erecting entire new
quartz machinery of the most improved mode
for crushing and ANAL gamating the ore The
mines on Tippacanoe, Mt. George, Eureka,
Hagan and other hills in the vicinity have
been thoroughly tested, the rock yielding
from ten to one hundred dollars to the ton.
The leads are among the largest and most ex-
tensive in the township, and if properly man
aged, as judging from appearances, they will
be, they will prove fortunes to their energet-
ic proprietors. This company have also
erected a Railroad, the largest in the State,
miles in length, with six foot track and
fine regular grade. This road leads to their
pinery in the mountains which cannot be sur
passed by any other in California. By this,
they are enabled to get timber at any season
of the year at a saving of expenses as we are
informed of near one thousand dollars per
month, over that of hauling by team &c. Mr..
R. also informs us that they are now making
large shipment of lumber to San Francisco
which will be the first that has ever been
shipped from the Nevada Mountains to the
Bay City. These Mills we think, are well
worth the attention of quartz and lumber
men generally.

ODE TO SOLITUDE.
BIZ Mrs. N. D. WILLIAMS.


From childhood have loved thee Solitude
And where tall shadows skirt the ancient wood,
Alone with JOY, in other years, I've strayed,
And watch the day-king, in his glory, fade, -
And when dim twilight gathered Ger the plain,
In musing mood sought my home again.
When night her curtains gently o'er me spread,
Then have wooed thy joys, sweet Solitude;
And culled fair blossoms from the spirits shrine,
And move fresh garlands, fadeless and divine
Till Time, with warning voice, hath whispered rest,
Then obeyed, and Heaven my slumbers blest.
Those days have passed-no longer am free
And now, Oh Solitude, pine for thee,
And like the birdling in its cage confined,
Unceasing cares my restless spirit bind -
But those were joys too exquisite to last,
And all, save memory's halcyon dream, is past
The above beautiful lines will doubtless
find response in the hearts of many of our
readers, for what lover of nature has not ex-
perienced them. All! the poetry of the soul
is ever there, though the lips may not be ca
pable of giving it such sweet and lovely
echo. And Why should we not love it? 1t
is in solitude that we find ourselves in more
communion with nature, and with
natures God. Then let~us cf1erishit. 1t will
be us ''balm TO the wounded spirits" and as
''wine to the dropping SOUL" Shut out from
the unhallo@ed gaze of the busy world e
hnd that sweet solace for trouble
Which none but he who feels it know"

DEAR SIR To-day I am favored with an
opportunity of sending to you some interest
ing intelligence.
Among the other things new, great and
grand, that can communicate to you at this
time, is the fact that very rich quicksilver
mine has been recently discovered at point

10 miles south of Pacheco's Pass.) l have
seen some of the ore, and have conversed
with two intelligent gentlemen who have just
returned from a visit to the new discovery
and am by them informed that there is not
the slightest doubt that it will prove equal ir
richness to the one remarkable for its great
wealth near San Jose, (New Almaden.)
