REMovAL.-The carpenters are at work
on the front of our office, and their ham,
mering renders it about as inhabisable as
a steamboat boiler, with the artisans at
work on the outside. Finding it utterly
impossible to write an article, either on
the Chinese or "Rooshan' questions under
such difficulties, We have removed to a
snug little room rendered by friend,
where we expect to make an impression
by upsetting the inkstand on white pine
mahogany table. Speaking of the Chi
nese, reminds US that it was the intention
of a number Of the respectable citizens of
this place to wait on caravan of yellow
nuisances in the upper end of town, re-
questing them to pull up stakes and quit
the diggings, but the procession was ear
rested by the watchful guardians of the
public peace, with the order Barney let
the girls alone" 1t is commendable for
officers to discharge their duty faithfully
we give them credit for the same-but in
asmuch as the human body requires from
six to eight hours sleep, why can't the
authorities find it convenient to be asleep
when public indignation would remove a
blotch from society? But as we remarked
before great credit is due to the "ossifer'
of the lew.

A Plain Talk,

The Gibsonville Messenger giving a
running account of a general stampede
Of the gamblers on Nelson Greek, occa-
stoned by the Vigilance Committee get
ting after certain of the fraternity with
sharp sticks, says:
"We must take this occasion to notify
the sporting class that this move on the
part of the inhabitants of Nelson Creek
is no childs play affair; but from the cool
determination manifested by them-the
law and order portion of them-it cannot
prove other than very uncomfortable
place for you. The truth is, they are
resolved at all hazards to rid the com
munity of hounds" and our friendly
advice is, don't 60 there.
"By the way, why do not other of our
mining villages pursue the same course
towards this large class of gentlemen !?
The most of item are healthy, able-bodied
men, and can make fair wages at mining,
and rould do so, were they not permitted
to plunder the green and sof-skulled smart
ones, who seem willing to work hard all the
week and lose the whole of their earnings
in single hour at games where their
chances of winning are nearly equal to
that of being struck by lightning"

of service to the parties concerned, for

Lager Bier.

Lager bier is matted liquor, originally
made IN Bavaria, in essential properties
identical with ordinary ale, which it
closely resembles in appearance, though
differing in taste; of much less specifc
gravity, weaker, and retaining its foam
q shorter time after being drawn. It's
taste is sub acid, pungent, and leaves in
the mouth peculiar flavor, caused by
coating Of pitch which the interiors of the
barrels receive before being filled. The
difference between the modes of brewing
lager bier and ordinary ale, is indicated
by the etymology of the name, lager
meaning rest-remaining in store; the
former requiring to rest in a cool vault
from four to six months before it becomes
drinkable, while the latter can be used

Etua.

Among the wondrous sights on the
earth, the volcano of Etna will always
hold just prominence. Renowned by
past and present history, sublime by its
elevation, its form, and the awful secresy
of unknown terrors which lie concealed
within it's bosom, the Sicilian volcano will
always be viewed with the deepest, the
most solemn awe. .
1t was with such feelings and with such
thoughts as these; that | began to ascend
the volcano oh the morning Of the fifth of
May le49. l had left Catahia On the day
before, in order to visit this Wonderful
spot. 1 did not wish to glance carelessly
upon it-no; for to me there was always
something reverend something almost
divine, in connection with this great mass
of upheavcd lava, which led me to look
earnestly at its rugged side. l wished TO
ascend, to view from its summit the fairest
regious on earth to glance down, down
into those unfathomable depths where
fire, fire in all its terror, for ever dwells,
for ever struggles
1t was with slow steps that ascended
the cone, after the patient and hardy
ponies had been dismissed. / had been
an invalid, and the fatigue Of climbing up
the steep and rocky declivity might well
have daunted me. But after many restings
and many haltings, was able to attain
the summit.
The summit! Good heavens! can |
ever forget the delirium, the transport Of
joy, which the boundless prospect there
awakened within me? Can / ever forget
the glimpse which l first caught Of all the
glories and all the horrors of nature
mingled together in such fearful unison ?
Far away on one side spread the fertile
plains, the green meadows, and the gentle
valleys of Sicily. There were streams
glancing and flashing in the sun as they
wandered to the sea, with ten thousand
labyrinthian turnings lakes whose CLASSY
shrtace showed not ruf1e, not a ripple !;
there were terraces upon the sides Of
a handred hills, where vineyards were
plaTted, and where the trellsed vines
passed along, all green, all blooming J;
there were groves of orange-trees, amid
the dark-green folisge Of which the golden
oranges peeped forth like the flashes Of
phosphorescent light in midnight sea ;
there were long avenues of expresses, of
acacias, of noble trees of many kinds,
amid which kingly assemblage at times
could be seen the noble summit of some
stately palm, as it lowered on high above
the others.
And the sea-ther wide, the boundless.
the deep-blue Mediterranean-ther it
spread away, on the other side, as far as
eye could reach, spreading away as far as
thoughts could run-glorious as

Pike County Bill.

The Golden Era is giving in weekly
numbers story called Pike County
Bill, or the maid of the mountains writ
ten by Robert F. Greely, and with no
ordinary degree of ability. We make
the following extract descriptive of a
mountain wedding" Maj. Downie and
and Tom Davis were seen galloping'
bouncing and stamping about the room
in a manner to astonish the most vigorous
of the dancers--how first the Major would
stand treat, and then Tom, and then
+" Pike County Bill introduced the
Major to Suke with all the politeness of
Prince Lobsky, in the midst of a deafening
cheer from the assemblage, and how the
dance went on, with its usual accom-
paniment of fiddes-backw ward, forward,
edgeways-double-shufle, pigeon wing,
whirligig and ground and lofty tumbling-
some patting time on their knees-some
whistling it-and all "going it " with a
zeal never before exhibited in those parts,-
the fair Sukey sailing about the room like
huge Dutch galleot, her fiery top-knot
and luxuriant curls looming up above the
crowd like beacon at sea.
"Look tharn' Bill would say, as Snke
came floating past in the "giddy mazes "
of Kentucky breakdown; "airt she a
specimen maybe she wouldn't do for
your hyfalutin lady folks, wouldn't Suke,
but for maxim apple dumplins and handlin'
a broomstiek, and singin'- tell you,
there aint her beat in all Yuba county y
"Kin she sing, though ?" asked one of
the toughest of Bills acquaintance, with
an admiring glance at Suke.
"Sing!" replied Bill, in sort of pity
for his questioner's ignorance. "Can a
teapot sing?"
Major Downie, who sits at our elbow, is
very indignant at the bare possibility of
any one accusing him of such indecorous
conduct. Of the fair Sukey--is it Sukey
Soapsuds?-he has nc distinct recollection,
and he regrets the fact exceedingly, mas
much as he is forced to padd the canoe
alone even to this day. Had Miss Sukey
been introduced under sach favorable cir
cumstances, we are satisfied that the Ma
jor's gallantry, and his vivid recollection
of the connubial felicity of Mr.. and Mrs.
John Anderson, when overtaken by the
winter of age, would have induced him to
offer his hand and fortune on sight, even
though Miss Sukey had just arrived from
the plains, with complexion ruddy as a
brick-bat, and an understanding that car
red conviction to whole colonies of phleg-
matte crickets, painfully impressing them
with the idea that something had "drap-
ped" when Miss Sukey's beautiful fut''
lit on them. If the little beauty was in
troduced at all, it must have been while
the company were in a magnetized state;
Immediately after spiritual manifesto
tion-when disembedied spirits as we'll as
mortals are detected under the table.

SoSs OF TEMrERANCE.-By q private
note We learn that the Rev. Israel 8.
Delhi will be here about the 29th inst,
to attend the public installation of officers
in the Downieville Division of the Sons q
Temperance. The Division in this place
was organized through the exertions of
Mr.. Delhi, who deserves great credit for.
his industry and energy in the temperance
cause. In our school days we were. init
mstely acquainted with this gentleman,
and even then he was noted for energy,
religious zeal, and an indomitable will
which was not to be turned aside by diff,
culties. The temperance cause could
have no more faithful advocate, and NC.

wearisome hills may be rewarded by rs
respect Of the people who are friendly Is

declare animosity to the TehBerancc
cause; its principies are BASED on a sure
foundation-the' elevation OF the human
family, and if rs advocates meet with no
adequate reward in z. country where its
success conflicts with interest, their inHu-
ence will be felt, and their doctrine will
gradually take root and bear fruit at some

Which rode SO majestic astraddle his nose;
And the harness, oft mended with tow

That belonged to old Dolly, now free

And fresh in my heart is the long maple
wood-pile,
Where often Eve worked with beetle and
wedge,
Striving to whack up enough to last for q
good while,
And swearing because my old axe had no
edge.
And there was the kitchen, and pump that
stood nigh it,
Where we sucked up the drink through
aquill in the spout;
And the hooks where we hung up the pump
kin to dry it;
And the old pitcher, mo doing

The old brown earthen-pitcher, the nozzle

The pain-easing pitcher, mo doing without

Which led to the loft in the peak of the

Where my grandmother hung up her

To keep them away from the rat and the

creation,
Emotions of grief big as tea-kettles swell,
