LARGE LUMP.-We were shown on yesterday,
by MIR. Brigham. of Adams 4 Cos Express, a
lump of pure gold, weighing SAIL, recently ta-
ken from claim near Rock Greek, mile and a
half from this place, by Charles Preston & Co.
The lucky miners took from the same claim, in
the course of two or three days, upwards of a
thousand dollars. In this lot they have another
piece worth $3.50. The smallest lump was worth
not less than $25. The claim is in the foot OF a
large hill, which, it is believed, will yield tre-
mendously. Ii has never been prospected before.
Heretofore the miners in this vicinity have con-
fined their operations, general thing, TO the
beds and banks of the streams and guches. In
view of this fact, have frequently suggested
to them the possibility of striking good disgings
by prospecting the surrounding hills. In other
portions of the State. the richest claims have
been found in the hills, aud we are satisfied that
this will prove TO be the in this county

CHRISTMAS DAY-Ihis day passed off rather
tamely III this place. No exCitement-no fun
no frolicking-no snow-ba balling-('twas regu-
lar Atlantic May day,) no sweetheart visiting
(cause, the absence of material cut of which
sweet-hearts are composed) no ginger-cakes-
no tatty pulings-no nothing! The day prev-
Gus, however, was all ife-half-a-dozen horse
races having occurred in the streets. As near as
we can recollect, we observed, while standing
on the st. Charles porch for half an hour no
less than six dogs pass with remarkable speed
and yelling Justify, the tail Of each dog having
appended thereto an old tin cup. This cruel
but intellectual amusement, seemed to be rel
ished hugely by everybody. ourselves among
the number, the passage of each dog having
been received with vociferous cheering.

y RACING.-The race between john Harring-
tons sorrel horse. and Tom McTurck's gray
horse, .or $3.50 a side-from the Four Mile
House, below the Lower Springs, to Loag's 5
Horse Market in this place, being over three
mies-came off on Saturday. the sorrel horse
winning by 100 yards. Both horses came in
very much fatisued To convey an idea of the
road over which this race was made. it is only
necessary to state, that within the distance there
several worse hills than any on the Noble
trail from the Sacramento to the Humboldt.

AccIDENr.-We regret to state. that MIR. Bras
tow, who yesterday rode down to meet the
stage for the purpose of getting Adams & Cos
files OF papers. met with very severe accident,
near Lower Springs, having been thrown from
the back OF high spirited horse. The fall was
severe that for a time, he was insensible. We
are pleased to state that he has since arrived in
town, and that although much bruised, he has
sustained no injury that will prove permanent.

The WORK CoMMENcED.-We are informed
that Messrs. Smith & Mount are now engaged
in making thorough survey of the route of the
Clear Greek Canal, preparatory to the COM
mencement of that important work. They hope
to have the canal completed by the middle OF
May next when the most productive placer dig
gings anywhere in the State of California will
be abundantly supplied with water. There is
evidently good time coming for Shasta County
One year hence, if this work is carried through,
the Shasta County mines will enjoy the enviable
reputation of being the best in the State. We
have not doubt of 1t. or we would not say so.

Watkins made a statement of the disaster to Mr..

that up to the morning OF the 9Th of January.
when they succeeded in getting ali hands on board

and exposure. The captain says: -

AN EccEATRlc, PREAcmER.-Munay's "Hand-

lains some curious stories respecting Fra Rocco

related, he preached on the mole, n penitentiaI

poured nth u fresh totrent of eloquent invective
against their sins and their deceit. He had great

telling them that theru ives no Spanish saints in

they smoked SO many cigars. that they maze The

Lake Ontario is seven miles distant, and at an av-
