ural consequences of the withdrawal of the
troops from the stronghold Of the Shasta In

DEMOCRATIC MEErING.-We direct attention
to the call for Democratic Meeting to be held
at the ST. Charles Hotel on Monday evening
next to take into consideration the propriety of
the election of U. S. Senator during the pre-
sent session of the Legislature. AS the matter
will not be before the Legislature again until
the 9th of March, such action as the people may
take at the meeting referred to, will doubtless
reach our members before the question is finally
disposed of. If the people differ from their re-
presentatives upon this question, it is due to
those representatives that they be informed of
it in time 10 enable them to cast their votes ad-
visedly. We trust, therefore, that there will be
a full attendance of the Democracy OF the coun-
try. SO that fair and unmistakable expression
of the sentiments of the people may go to our
representatives at Benicia before the 9th of
March.

MIsISG.-Owihg to the unusually heavy rain
on Friday evening the 10th, and the subsequent
fall of snow on Sunday, miners throughout
the county have been, during the past week
pretty well supplied with water for mining
purposes, aud a consequence we have heard
of unusually large sums of gold dust having been

! E9-L Lola Montez had her beautiful little hand
severely bitten by her pet grizzly, at her resi-
dence in Grass Valley, few days since. She
was feeding him with sugar at the time. Envi-
able Bruin How many hombres would have
faced all manner of danger for the privilege of

think about, that such happiness was reserved
for miserable cub.
