REvlvAL.-We learn that another at.
tempt will be made, in short time, by the
merchants of San Francisco-who are
interested TO the amount of various thou
sands-to resuscitate Sutterville. One
would suppose that, after the severe les
son, learned by experience of rather a
costly nature, that an attempt to build up
city on that spot would be abortive.-
There are now some very fine brick struc-
lures in Sutterville, that, If they. were in
Sacramento, would be renting at from six
to ten hundred dollars per month but,
where they are now, cannot be leased at
ALL Thousands of dollars were foelishly
squandered in endeavoring to build up
that place, and which will prove total
loss, which, if they had been invested in
Sacramento, would be renting from six to
ten hundred dollars per month but where
they are now, cannot be leased at all
Thousands of dollars were foolishly squan-
dered in endeavoring to build up that
place, and which will prove total loss,
which, if they had been invested in Sac
ramento, would now be paying an interest
of 5 per cent. per month. If parties have
any spare capital TO invest, here is the
place to use it; there are ample opportu-
mites for any person to operate who wishes.

AHEAD !-Of one thing we feel assured ;
that if we on this side of Uncle SanueFs
plantation, have kept up the spirit of the
timcs,-proga essaueisn, to its fullest extent,
we can certainly boast Of the worst streets
in all creation We defy our streets to
be excelled by any other city at present
for greater inequalities of grade, man-traps,
pitfalls, obstructisns and accumulated
filth.
Travel where you will in this metropo-
lis, and mud and nothing but mud is the
ever constant attendant, and lucky dog
is he who can take brief walk without
being bespattsred and be-draggled with
street filth. We certainly should take the
premium, if the worst kept and ffthiest
streets was the competition offered for. a

Ne,o Diggings on the Stan's1aus.-A cor
respondent of the Stockton Post, writing
from the StanisIaus River under date of
the 10Th inst. says .
Within the past ten days, on large
tract of land in the vicinity of what is call
ed Little Johns creek, near the Stanislaus
river, and Oh the main road leading through
Knights ferry, have been discovered some
of the richest mines in this section of the
country, will compare favorable with any
up land diggings in California. As yet
there are but few miners engaged in dig
ging, and those who have but just com~
menced, are in claims which pay from
three and half cents to fifty cents per
bucket. There are, at the lowest estimate,
a thousand acres in one body, which will
prospect about the same amount.

THE MINER.

FROM REAL LIFE-BY L.. o. SMITH.
With weary limbs and aching heart,
He trod the rugged mountain steep,
And ever and anon would start
The tear, from eyes unwont to weep.
The rimless hat, the sunburnt face,
The boots which had no cobbling friend,-
The tattered garments where no trace
Of female hands had been to mend;
The haggard Iook-the fearful eye
The solemn tread, intensely slow
The heavy, deep, unbrolen sigh
Betok kened sorrow, want, and woe.
The golden ore he long had sought,
In river, canon, HILL ravine,
And many an inward battle fought
With sore temptations, sharp and keen
The image OF a lovely wife.
Was deeply craven on his heart,
And mid the scenes OF want and strife,
Had kept him from the dreadful mart
But now-O God what heart can know
The depth OF anguish written there,
For she who was his all below,
Has talen in consumption snare
His children motherless and poor,
Deprived of all parental aid
Are begging food from door to door,
From morning light till evening shade
He travelled on DER hill and dale,
And struggled hard to bear his lot;
He tried both mountain crest and vale,
la vain to find some golden spot,
That he might to his Children dear
Return their father and their friend,
To wipe away each sorrowing tear,
And Caasc each hcaying sigh to end.
But all in vain! No shining ore
Delights his eye, or cheers his heart,
But soon his troubles will be o'cr
For death has shot the fatal dart.
Upon rising mound is seen,
a new made grave, unwe by tears,
Where friendly hands have never been.
Where buried lie those hopes and fears.

Ass4ULT.-A difficulty occurred on Sat
urday afternoon on LiedsdorfT street, be-
tween T. H. Wood, a merchant of San
Francisco, and E. Mcdonald, in which the
former received several severe blows on
the head, with a cane, which are said to
be dangerous. Mcdonald was arrested
and bail refused on account of the preca-

SPIRITUAL RApPINGs IN Los ANGELES.
The Star says thatconsiderable excitement
has existed in this community for some
weeks past, upon the subject Of spiritual
communications. Many remarkable reve-
lations and demonstrations have been wit
messed, and there are persons who sincere~
ly believe that they hold intercourse with
the spirits Of deceased friends. Two pub
lie exhibitions were held in this city during
the past week, at which several surprising
physical feats were performed To a
promiscuous audience, however, the results
were not satisfactory. The most conyinc-
ing revelations have been made in private
circles, where, by the aid of mediums,
voices have been heard uttering words
from different parts of the room; tables
have been seen to walk out upon two legs,
and whirl round upon one; rappings and
tippings have been heard and seen; sem
tences and names have bean written un-
consciously. These phenomenas have been
noticed in various places, and the public
mind is engrossed in discovering the cause.
We have no opinion to express now, and
we speak of it only for the purpose of motto
ing events as they occur.

The Breach Of Promise Case 7tcelfM
day.-At the opening of the Court 26th
ult:, the jury came in and stated that they
had not agreed Upon a verdict, and there
was no probability of doing so. The Court
inquired what was the cause Of their diff
Guilty in arriving at verdict. One of the
iurymen, Mr.. William Perry, replied that
there was ten obstinate jurymen in the
case, and there was no chance Of their CIV
ing in. Another of the jurymen asked an
explanation from the Court upon some
point in the charge given yesterday
Judge Lake then reiterated to the jury
substantially the same charge given by him
yesterday, and the jury again retired. At
twenty minutes past y, NJ, they again
returned into Court, and rendered a ver-
dict in favor of plaintiff for $4,000. The
jury was polled at the request of the coun-
sci for the defendant, and each juryman
replied that such was his verdict. Judg
ment was entered upon the verdict and
proceedings stayed for the usual period of
five days, in order to low them an op-
portunity to make motion fer d new
trial. We learn that the jury was en-
gagged in their deliberations during the
whole of last night; and have agreed to
keep them secret.-Hsrald.

4 California Ju1y-The other day, in
case before an Honora bic Judge of Santa
Clara county, a very fattering compliment
was paid by the jury to the Hon. Edward
Stanley, Of San Francisco, who was engag-
ed in the suit. 1t appears that Mr.. Sta D.
ley was under the impression that a CON
spiracy existed against his clients rights,
who was none other than the celebrated
pioneer, Captain Graham, of San Diego,
whose residence in the country dates from
1882. In the course Of his argument, Mr..
Stanley took occasion to allude to the un-
fairness which seemed to characterize the
proceedings, at the same time intimating
what the court deemed suspicion that IT
was not entirely unbiased. Whereupon,
the clerk was ordered to fine MIR. Stanley
twenty-five dollars for contempt. That
gentleman stopped in his argument, walk
ed UP to the clerks desk and paid the fine,
remarking at the same time that nothing
gave him more pleasure, than at all times
to render cheerful obedience to the consti-
tuted authorities Of his country, and con.
tinued his Argument. Mr.. Stanley after
wards took occasion in his address to the
iury to thank God he lived in free repub-
lie, where the truth might be told to twelve
honest men, and the teller not aIigcys pun
ished for so doing. Mr.. Stanley gained
his case, and the jury, after having render.
ed their verdict, enclosed in a compliment
tary note to Mr. Stanley, the amount of the
fine that his honor had imposed, which
that gentleman returned with ar assurance
Of his appreciation Of the compliment, and
a request that they would give the money
to some charitable institution, for the ben
eft of those who needed itmore than him
self, or to some clergyman whose mission
was to preach the Gospel Of TRUTH 4
This is beautiful illustration of the re-
ligious respect always paid to the laws and
authorities, and at the same time of the
fine sense of justice and clear appreciation
of right and wrong which characterize the
American people.-7ranscript

SAD SlGHT.-In passing up Broad
way recently, says the N. 7. Mirror, when
all the werld was en- promenade, we met a
well-dressed lady, leading drunken man
by the arm. His face was bruised and
dirty and hers was concealed by a very
thick veil. He looked like foolish brute,
with the disgusting tobaccojnice trickling
from the corners of his mouth !; she like a
picture of despairirg pity, with the tears
trickling from her eyes. We glanced at
the staggering pair-the one weak from
intoxication, and the other from shame and
anguish, with feeling that earth has no
saddsr sight than that presented by a
heart-broken wife leading her drunken
husband, in open day, through public
street.

AN EFFECT OF THE DRouGHT.-A farmer, In
comfortable circumstances, named John Hughes, in
Monteau county, shot himself last Monday. He
walked from his house in the morning with his gun
on his shoulder, and, not returning he was soon
found in his stable yard dead. Il is supposed that
he was driven to the commission of the deed by
the apprehension OF being unable to provide for his
family, on account of the shortness OF his crop-&

His death may perhaps benefit his family by ena-
bling the widow to marry man with more moral
courage. Men do strange things sometimes-as for
instance, when the N. York canal was being made
through the fertile valley of the Mohawk, a German
farmer resisted its passage through his farm and
finding his opposition of no avail took halter and
hanged himself, deeming that he was ruined man.
