Brown, intends to open his new Book
& Stationery Store, on Monday next, at
the new freproof building, on the cor
ner of State and Main SITS. We have
personally inspected the interior ar
rangements, and can safely say, that it
is the most extensive and beautifully
furnished Bookstore to be found in Tu-

crafty the most refined literary taste
can here be found in the most magni6-
cent abundance, from the rare works of
ancient authors to the latest novel of the
present day; and in the stationery de-
partment, everything from the appara-
tus Of a commercial clerk to the most
delicate appendage Of a ladies' billet
doux. In addition to all this, he has a
large and costly Circulating Library,
which is open to all, on liberal terms.
Thankful for past favors, and by a

~ Social Cor1LLoN PARTY. We
were present, on Wednesday evening
last, at Social Cotillon Party, given
at Clark's Hotel. We have never en-
joyed ourselves more pleasantly than
We did on that evening. The number
Of ladies who participated in the enjoy
ments ofthe evening,was about sixty. It
is truly gratifying to see 50 many Of the
fair sex in our midst; we welcome them
amongst US and are pleased to observe
that their number is daily increasing
The supper, served up by Messrs. J.
H. Clark & Co., (the proprietors Of
the house, was the finest we have sat
down to in California ; they spared
neither trouble nor expense in obtaining
everything calculated to please the taste
as well as the eye. Dawn began to
break upon our hills, ere the feet Of the
ladies and their gallants, had ceased
their merry making. On the whole, it
was the most brilliant affair, We have
ever had in Columbia, and does much
credit to all those concerned in the
management.

~ STATE Nsws.-By the arrival
OF the Cortez and Sonora, we have
State papers of Oct. 9TH: The news
from the States is unimportant, except
that the President has ordered a force

the South. Reports from the E asst
state that difficulties exist between the
allied commanders, and that the French
troops would return home. It is also
rumored that the Baltic feet would re-
turn to England, and that Sir Charles
Napier would resign the command. The
cholera prevails in England.

AN ATTEMPT TO MUzzLE.-We were
accosted, on Saturday evening last, in
Wells, Fargo & Co. 3 Express Office, by
a delegation of some half dozen persons.
(who it appears had taken umbrage at
an article in last weeks Gazette, in re-
gard to shoulder-strikers,) who intimat-
ed to US that If We would consult our
own personal security, we had ebetter
walk chalk-line' in future. We had
intended to reply at length to these gen.
tlemen, (God forgive us for using the
term, in this case, but have concluded
that they were not worth the paper and
ink that would be consumed in so doing:
but would simply reiterate what we then
stated to them: That we have been a
citizen of California too long to be intim-
idated by them or any of their crowd ,and
that so long as We have the control of the
editorial columns of the "Gazesse," we
shall publish whatever we think right and
proper, without fear or favor from any
one, much less such a contemplate
crowd as would attempt to browbeat
and muzzle public press. We would
here inform these persons, and all others,
that we hold in the most supreme con-
tempt all such threats, and those making
or countenancing. them; and as for their
good opinion, we do not covet it, and
can sincerely say, that we are most hap
py that We do not possess it.
MININc-Thc miners have now a
pretty liberal supply of water in this Vi
cin;ty, and are generally doing we'll, and
making good wages. Crowds Of persons
are daily arriving in town, and taking
possession ofvacant ground, preparatory
to commencing golden explorations.
Steele & Co., on the fat, are averag-
ing a or S ounces per day, on what they
term ordinary pay dirt. They have
large building erected on the claim,
which contains about 1900 loads of rich
clay, which they have taken out, and
dried for winter washing. 1t is estimat-
ed this clay is worth about $ls,o o0.-l
This is only one Of the many rich claims
in this vicinity.
~ The miners at Saw Mill Flat,
are now, as general thing, making fine
wages. Foley g. Co. are taking out a
large pile Of rich dirt, and Moore & Co.
are making 50 per day to the hand.
~ Mckenzie & Co., at Sandy
Gulch, near Texas Flat, are doing very
well at present making about 81 dol
lars per day, to the hand. This claim
has paid well for some time past. and is
supplied with water from springs in tn
vicinity.
TMessrs Clendenen & Co.'S claim
that of R. j. Steele, 8. Co.'S
on the fiat, bids fair to amply repay
them for the labor they have expended.
We have seen two pans washed, one of
which paid 81 20, the other IS cts.
On Gold Hill, the miners, during the
past week, have commenced working
their claims. The diggings here are
deep, consequently the miners dig the
dirt out in summer, and wash in winter.
The Hill is known to be rich, and doubt
less in few weeks the hard listed mi
ners will all be able to give a good &C
count of themselves.

An INTERESTING INCIDENT. Acorrespon.
den, Of the Greenfield Republic relates the
following interesting instance OF maternal
affection in animals
"a few days since, Mr. Joel Rice OF Con,
way, discovered on tree what he supposed
TO be crows nest, But on examination,
he found, instead OF a brood OF rntiedged
cornpullers, litter Of flying squirrels. Not
a little pleased with his booty, he thought
i, fine opportunity to secure an acceptable
presen, for his children. Having descend.
ed from the tree, he stood at the foot, con-
,empla,ing his prize, when the old one
made her appearance. A mothers temer-
ity, when her offspring are in danger
knows no limits. She jumped upon his arms
crawled down 10 his hand, seized one Of
her young ones, and endeavored 10 take II
away. For moment, Mr.. r. resisted her
claim--ye, only moment. Sympathy ior
n parents agony made an appeal, and was
successful-his better feelings ,riumphed
and the dam gathering into her furry folds
little one soush new home for her family.
After short time she returned, and then
again. ill she had taken them all away"

GREAT EXCITEMENT AT BARABOo

Liquor Destroyed by a Mob Of Ladies.-Ar

the sale Of liquor had grown into mon
s,rous nuisance, and LED 10 frequent Difficult
Ties and abuse in families. At length the
ladies called q secre, meeting Of their own
number, and laid their plans for general
destruction OF The liquor in the village.
"About Ten o'clock, Tuesday morning

seen issuing from in and about the Cour

House. In very short time alter mum
Der of excited ladies were seen bringing
forth barrels OF beer, rum, brandy, &C.,

This Job finished, they proceeded TO The

do nothing to disturb The peace. But by
this time there were some men got amnns
them and urged them 10 press forward ant
enter the house forc:bly il necessary. As
soon as j, was understood that the men had
begun 10 interfere, a strong feeling OF en-
element manifested itself. Different, men
took opposite sides; strong body OF reso

at the door, and loudly proclaimed their in

lence so far as the men were concerned. A
rush was made for The door, bu, II was sue

after a few scratches received, and The
tearing of few shirts. For a few minutes
we thought our town would be dlsgraced
by a general fight, and that blood would he
poured on, instead OF whiskey. While al
ia,rs stood in this situation, the Sheriff ap,
peared, and aher calling aloud for silence,
read the rio, act. which was heard and re-
ceived by repeated shouts from nearly two

then dispersed, and the ladies retired alter
