This was an action Of trespass for drifting
under house on Zumalt's Flat and pulling
down a sluice, thereby destroying the
house of the plaintiff. The evidence as to
the running Of the drift, etc., was clear;
the main defence being the joint possession
of the ground by the parties. This suit
attracted general attention, it being the
first occasion on which the question as to
the right Of miners to drift under houses
has been tried in this section of the
country. A jury was waived by both
parties, and the Court gave judgment for
plaintiff in two hundred and fifty dollars
damages and costs Of suit. Spear /

HIGHLAND HABIrs.-An English paper
remarks that one of the most singular pc
culiarites of the Highlanders, or Of certain
classes of them, consists in their obstinate
adherance to the old way of doing things,
Their mode of building for example is pre-
cisely the same as that practiced in the
days of Wallace. Her Majesty. the
Queen, is building splendid castle at
Balmoral, and every piece of granite Of
which the walls are composed, is carried
singly on Highlander's back, up mar.
row. zig-zag platform, to the top of the
wall, and is deposited by him in it's allotted
place. A single man will thus carry on
his shoulders block of granite two feet
in length and of proportionate thickness

under it, and four brawny Highlanders

How long can one live without Sleeps

AAVW AOAS Cc1A V0C AVS W1tuOuC 0l6cps
The question we have never seen answer
ed. But an authentic communication has
been made to British society, whose
field of operation is in Asia, descriptive Of
a mode of punishment which is peculiar to
the criminal code of China. 1t appears
from this communication that a Chinese
merchant had been convicted for murder
ing his wife, and was sentenced to die by
being totally deprived of going to Sleep
This singular and extremely painful mode
OF quitting an earthly existence was car
ried into execution atAmoy ander the fol-
lowing circumstances: The condemned
was placed in prison under the care OF
three OF the police guards, who relieved
each other every alternate hour, and who
prevented the prisoner from falling asleep
Tor single moment night or day. He
thus lived nineteen days without enjoying
any sleep. At the commencement Of the
the eighth day his sufferings were SO cruel
that he implored the authorities to grant
him the blessed opportunity of being stran-
gled, garroted, guillotined, burned to death,
drowned, quartered, shot, blown up with
gunpowder, or put to death in any con-
ceivable way which their humanity or
f-rocity could invent. This will give us
some idea of the horrors of dying because
you cannot go the sleep Masonic Mirror.

They forget that the returned Californian
who had failed to "put money in his purse"
will be the butt of ridicule for the mali
cious, who have neither had the courage
nor the energy to go themselves.
Besides, it seems to US hopeless busi-
ness for poor man to return to the old
States with the expectation Of ever be-
coming anything more than "hewer Of
wood and drawer of water" Habits of
extravaganza which almost every one has
contracted here, will keep him pcrpetually
in debt. and in the hot summer days wher
toiling in the shop or field-hopelessly
toiling for bread, he will revert to the
cool mountain streams Of California, but
perhaps he will not have the means to
return.
Almost every man can by industry and
economy save enough to send for his
family. The facilities for travelling, and
the attention bestowed on unprotected
ladies and children by the agents of steam
ship companies, leaves him little occasion
for apprehension for their safety; and
when the miner or man Of business can
rest from the labors of the day by his own
fireside, nothing will be wanting to COM
plete his happiness.
We are heartily tired Of hearing young
men without single tie to bind them
anywhere, talk of "going to the States"
If they are possessed of talent or industri-
Gus habits, where can they meet with
greater rewards or appreciation than
here? And if a couple Of very bright
eyes will keep twinkling in their dreams,
why not have those witching luminaries
transferred to the romantic dells of Califor-
MIA, where they would twinkle to some
purpose? A very plain looking strip Of
paper with the name of Page, Bacon &
Co. attached, would ensure the shipment
of treasures that Rothchilds could not buy.
