FAILURE.-hliss Sarah Pellet is attempting a
course of political lectures in San Francisco
SO far she seems to have met with the most sra-
tlying Indifference. The Chronicle says that at
the hour of eight o'clock on Sunday evening
last, her audience numbered four; half an hour
subsequent, it had increased to twenty-five. So
much for Miss Sally. Under other circumstances
we might sympathise with the fair lecturer
But California has been so bored with humbu ss
rugged out in boots and swallow-taied coats,
that really, even though one of that species ap-
pears enyeloped in rnglets and calico, we find
it hfPossible to invoke sufficient amount of
gallantry to choke off the immense disgust that
takes possession of us at sight.

IMPORTANT DECIsIoN.-The Board of Land
Commissions has confirmed the claim of San
Francisco to that portion of the city extending
to Vallejo's line, thereby dashing the hopes of
some aud making glad the hearts of Others The
Ereuing Journal says:
AS ibis line is not laid down on most ef the
maps, we will state that it extends from the Lot
No. 300, near the junction of Fifth and Brannan
streets, in a direct line to the junction of the
Charter line OF 1851 and Tyler streets. Thus
it will be seen that large tract beyond that line
which has been held under the city title is not
embraced in this decision as belonging to the
city. OF course some pleased and some dis
pleased, just as their interest is affected All
| are glad, however. to be relieved from sus-
pense."

great interest. In speaking Of the many advan-

that paper says:
Now, we would say to the miners in the

not SO utterly torn up those in the South (;
men here stand fair chance of striking some
thing, and can always obtain fair renumera-
ton for their labor. Had we water in our pla-

70 On Saturday last difficulty occurred in
the Eureka" gambling saloon, San Francisco,
between John York, long resident of Shasta,
and Grove G. McMichae', which resulted in the
death of Mem. from a knife wound in the bow
els inflicted by York. The quarrel commenced
about some money which York had loaned
McM., aad which had not been returned. Ac-
cording to the evidence of aIr. Owens before
the jury of inquest, York committed the deed
while Nc clIichael was in the act of approaching
him with uplitted chair. AT last accounts
York had not been captured by the officers.

SgSsIgLE-The Rev. Mr.. Shuck, in lecture
recently delivered in Sacramento the Chi

and gunpowder, and both had been forbidden
The country We are led by the knowledge of
This fact, to greatly modify our opinion us to the
intelligence Of :. John Cbinaman." The CLASH
lying OF females and guupowder together, seems
so strikingly appropriate as to forbid the idea
that it could have been tie emaration of an i'm
beetle irind. John has evidently observed
much and experienced more. He knows what
substances are liable to explode. He knows
~hat thunder means; ditto lightning. He
has observed persons and. things blown sky
high by the articles rendered contraband
throughout the Chinese Empire, without learn
ing wisdom. No. Jchn is wise. He removes the
cause of the evil We are less discreet, for while
usually cautious enough to place gnn-
powder between thick walls in some out-of-the-
way place, we rashy permit the other and more
dangerous explosive to be exposed in pablic
places with impunity. First thing the public
knows, may be, We'll be blown up ourselves

nese law, by illustrating with our own unhappy

BUSINESS business has been very brisk du-
ring the week. Our merchants are getting up
tremendous stocks OF goods, and which, we
are glad to say, are fast finding their way into
the more northern localities. The mining pop
ulatiou of Trinity, Siskiyou and Klamath is much
larger this yeal than ever before and we trust
that the traders upon whom they are dependent
for supplies will not forget that fact. Lay in
large stocks of goods Of all KINDS before the
rains and SHOWS render the roads almost inn
passable, and thus prevent repetition OF the
terrible suherings of the winter Of 80.

ing ribbons. and glitterins silks, and satin slr-
pers, rushing promiscuousy through the mind !;
and the thrilling strains Of melody and the soft
and melodious murmurings of the fair deyotees
of Terpsichore still lingering on the ear,-we
cannot say that we have ever any where VIII
messed u more bewitching display of female
beauty. There were not less than forty ladies
present, and at least double that number of gen.
,lemen. The hail was sufficiently large to hold
eight sets, and the dancing commenced about
o'clock, and with short intervals, continued un-
til broad day light. The supper was faultless.
Indeed the whole affair went off in manner
that must prove very gratifying to Mr.. and Mrs
Lennon.

SUCCESSFUL HUNTISG.-Our friend Mr.. Bum
pus, an experienced hunter, Went out one day
last week from Red Bluffs and killed seven large
grizzly bears. Some idea of the immense num-
Der of these ugly animals now in the valley,
NAV be formed from this fact. Indeed persons
travelling along the public road meet them
every day. Mr. Hoag, of Red Bluffs, while ira
yelling in buggy below Cottonwood, met
three of them in the road. Considering them
selves " native and to the manner BORN there,
they refused to vacate the same, but compelled
that gentleman to drive around Bears are pro-
