MINING NEAT SoNoRA.-The Democrat SAYS:
We learn verbally, that the New York claim,
on Browns Flat, has been yielding hand
SOmely for s. me time past, paying on an av-
erage from an ounce to twenty dollars dav.
There are other claims there doing well, but
we have no word as to the amount taken
out. We learn that the Kansas Bar Com
pany, above Jacksonville, took out on
Wednesday last, $500. This bar has paid
well for three years, and there is no show
for it ever to sslet up.'' The miners will
soon be working in the bed of the river at
Jacksonville, when we expect to be enabled
to chronicle some b "strikes."

Grand Jury, first, in respect to the attempted

numerous steamboat &C .idents; stating, that
Notwithstanding the laws passed by Congress,

Bells Commercial College Chicago. Illinois.
We have received catalogue and circular
of this popular and now permanently estab-
lished Institution. 1t was instituted by D.
v. Bell, in the year 1851, and steadily pro-
crossed in usefulness and popularity, till the
meeting of the Legislature, in 1853, when a
charter was granted to the Trustees, perma-
nently establishing it with University priv
ileges, granting and awarding diplomas pro
merito. The College is supplied with CON-
petent corps of we'll qualified men for their
respective duties. Young men resort thth-
er to become versed in the various methods
of systematic book keeping in ali its multi
farious forms.
A library and reading room is fitted up in
the College Building, to which the students
have access at all times. The library COM
prises such works as are calculated to bene-
fit the student during his course of study and
better qualify him for his business relations.
We have no acquaintance with the President
of the institution, but see several names as
ISOLATED with him, which induces us to be-
lieve that it is all that it processes to be-
And as ready communication before many
months will be effected between this city and

HOME.

HoMEl Fl that blessed word thrills the ear
In it what rec objections blend!
1t tells of chiIdhood's scenes SO dear,
And speaks of many a cherished friend.
o, through the world, wher'er we roam,
Though souls be pure and lips be kind,
The heart with fondness turns to home
Still turns to those it left behind.
The bird that scars to yonder skies,
Though nigh 10 heaven, still seems unblesscd;
1t laeves them and with rapture flies
Downward to its own much loved nest.
Though beauteous scenes may meet itsview,
And breeZes blow from groves,
With wing untired and bosom true,
Itturns to that dear spot it loves.
When Heaven shall bid this soul depart,
This form return TO kindred earth,
May the last throb which swells my heart,
Heave where it started into birth.
And should affection shed ole tear;
Should friendship lnger round my tomb,
The tribute will be double dear,
When given By those of "home, sweet home" /"
