IN Rats

EVER since the untimely end of "the
rat that eat the malt that lay in the house
that Jack built" the race has been per-
secuted by broom-handle and pc ker, not
to speak of the gins and snares that are
set for them, and the villainous doctor
stuff" of which they are the victims. A
short time since an unsophisticated rat,
not at all acquainted with the world and
utterly ignorant of the malice harbored by
bipeds toward his family connections, yen-
turei into dining room, and quietly as
cended the leg of Frenchman's pasta-
looms, without observing that the said
pantaloons were already tenented. Mols.
Crapeau, feeling the sharp claws on hls
shins, dropped his knife and fork, and
sprang from the table, swearing hysteri-
cally in his vernacular, little German,
very bad Spanish, and English ditto
This alarmed the rat, and he began to dig,
onward and upward" Excelsiof" was his
motto, until he arrived at the place where
the passage suddenly widened there he
took refuge at the farthest possible dis
tance from Mons. Crapeau. G utching
convulsively backward, as though some
one was feeling in his coat pockets, he
seized the rat and "did" for him very sud-
denly; the animal thrashed his tail about
in his dying struggle, which added to the
already indescribable agony ofthe French
man, who screamed out 'murdare p
Sacre DAME snake re spidare re dam
schlong in re pantalon! Pull zem off
tare re trousare Oh mon Dieu." 1t
happened that some ladies were present,
which rendered relief in the way suggested
by the Frenchman, impracticable. He
was subsequently quoted, the rat ex-
tracted-and the boys say the Frenchman
was carried home on shutter.

DRUNKEN Rows.-We are occasionally
much edited by listening to drunken
brawl, which disturbs the whole neighbor-
hood. Where are the peace officers that
they don't ''tote" the bacchinals off to jail,
instead of allowing them to annoy the
more respectable citizens by their hellish
orgies? If the officers don't intend to
keep the peace, why don't they take in
their sign?

comprehensive matter that we are inclined
to think it is"

from an article in late number of the
Herald, written by o. P. Stidger, in rela-
tion to the trial Of Thurston, for assaulting
DIR. j. Winters with deadly weapon.
While Stidger was arguing the point with
Thurston he received difter from the

fist, of Judge Barbour, and in the melee
that ensued StMger's frontispiece was

scenery in the mines and on the plains,

best that we have yet seen, He is en-
gagged in getting up panorama, which,
if it bears any proportion to the views
before us will be invaluable. Mr.. Fl. will

A Talk with the Miners.

The miners seem determined to keep US
advised of what's going On in the different
mining towns in the county. We have
half dozen sensible we'll written commu-
nications on hand, which must lay over
for the present. This is just what we
want; straightforward narration of mining
news; something that has happened, leav-
ing the future or speculation thereon for
next week, seeing that in this fast country
events tumble over each other in rapid
succession. Ours is miners paper, and
u very little one, and we have not much
room for essays or speculative letters, IN
less they are gerry good. Poetry we eschew,
especially when there are more than thirty
two. stanzas, hirpling along with uncertain
steps.
If our friends and acquaintance in the
neighboring mining villages will keep us
posted up, write briefly to the point, and
send their communications early in the
week, t's crossed, is dotted, ETC., we will
render them value received in the Citisen,
if industry and attention can avail. And
while we are about it, we may as well men-
tion that "the Citizen is weekly paper,
published in Downieville, Sierra County,
California; subscription only So year,
invariably in advance" OF course we
don't mean to ask them to subscribe, but
it occurs to us that the old folks at home
would like to bear what's going on, and
what the boys" are doing here, whether
they are in good rich claims Or not !;
and then it's so much trouble to write let
ters one does not like to write letters
when he does not feel like writing, and
when he is in bad streak" and has
nothing to write about; the consequence
is that the old folks don't hear from him
at all, and the old ladys knitting needles
ply faster and faster, half impatient, half
apprehensive, that her son has taken to
drinking gambling, been "snowed up"
eaten by the bears, killed by the Indians,
or gone to editing newspaper.
And then there is Serephina, and Doro-
thea, who would snatch up the Citizen and
lock eagerly for the marriage notices,
(which we grieve to say are rather scarce,
for obvious reasons, anxious to learn whe-
ther their intended has proved recreant,
and married some California beauty; for
that young lady of yours often thinks that
She hears foot, and knows it too.
rasping on the scraper."
But then there is another item, which
we thank God appears but seldom-,he
item under the back lines, which the whole
family huddle together to read. Some one
has been buried in the California noun
tains, and what if it should be their prodi-
sal son. All this information can be
conveyed by the Citi=ea, to your friends
at home. Shall we mail it for you?

COMPLIMENTARY BENEFIT TO Miss
GooDENow.-In consequence of engage
ments made by this lady previously to re-
ceiving notice of the benefit rendered to
her by the citizens of Downieville, the
concert cannot take place this evening,
as advertised. 1t will therefore be post
poned until Tuesday evening the oath
inst, when, we trust the fair benefeiare
will be greeted by crowded and appre-
ciative house. Her success in the nor
thern part of the county has been very
flattering--just as we expected from the
good people of Sears, and just as might
be expected from any people who appre-
ciate merit. Don't forget the Concert

A BRAVE MAN.-Count Boulbon, who
was executed at Guaymas, died as became
brave man. Twice the soldiers raised
their muskets, but overcome by his brave
ry, they lowered them again, when he
walked toward them and thus addressed
them: "Men, you are soldiers, why do you
hesitate? I am not afraid to meet the
death reserved for me-" Still FIVE of the
eight men refused to pull trigger, but the
other three fired and he fell dead.
