INTERESTING TO LADIES. IEs.-Extravagance we
say, has struck in 1t appears that some one
has returned from Europe with the information,
that ladies of high rank there frequently spend
more money upon that part of their wardrobe
whichsis unseen, than upon that which is seen.
Hence, the ruling ambition of the season, among
the newly enriched, is to possess the costiest
articles of invisible attire; to exhibit at home
to particular friends, and at street crossings
and puddles (real and imaginary J to the public
at large, skirts of the most elaborate conatruc-
ton; to wear yards and yards of lace embroi-
derry and stitching, where the eye cannot pene-
trate. to carry about all day small fortune
concealed among the strata of their apparel,
and at night to sink into mound of down, en-
veloped in robes which cost more money than
the poor girl who ruined her eyes by making
them can save in years.
Not to put too fine a point upon it, we may as
we'll mention that for the rebes- just referred to
thirty, forty, forty five and City aalisTs are
no very uncommon prices. [N \. Mirror.

Of words when spoken by man with ascold
that affects the voice as connected with the
nasal organ, commonly called g a cold in the

our notice few days since, with most amusing
effect A man went into a store and asked the
clerk:
's Where is Burberry streed 20
'sBulberry streets'' said the clerk, ssdon't
know of street by that name; better look in
the directory
The man with q cold looked in the directory,
and running his finger down the Ms, stopped at
the words f' Mulberry street." and said,
"Why, there it is now; Burberry streed. ''
The clerk answered, that it looked like Null

GREENWOOD VALLEY is very neat little
village laying in one of the loveliest little
valleys in the mountains. It is located
about five miles south of Georgetown on the
road leading to Sacramento. During the
late county canvass it was one of the aspi-
rants for the county seat, and in the issue
made very respectable appearance at the
polls.
On last Saturday we had the pleasure of
making this village a visit, and truly we
were well repaid for our trouble. They
have several heavy mercantile establish
ments In the place, the proprietors of which
we found to be gentlemanly and business
like men. They have trade of their own,
with which they seem perfectly satisfied,
and in which they fear no rivalry or compe-
tition.
We are informed that the society of this
place is good, both in numbers and in So
ciability. AS an evidence of the manner in
which the young men of the place occupy
their spare moments, we give in exempliti-
cation the Theatre which some half dozen
of them have recently built and furnished
in complete theatrical style, embracing a
stage with beautiful and changing scenery,
the work of one of their own artists togeth-
er with pit and parquette for the accommo-
dation of the audience This is indeed quite
an enterprise, and is already nearly compile
ted One of the managers informed US that
it was their intention to open out their The
atre in about two weeks, upon which occa-
sion there would be plays presented to the
audience, suitable for the occasion, after
which they will keep their theatre open two
evenings of each week during the winter
for the entertainment of the interested pub
lie.
Besides the theatre, some of the citizens are
about organizing a Lyceum, at which they
will probably devote one evening out Of
each week Altogether the citizens of this
place appear to be of the true grit and il
they do not enjoy themselves there this win
ter, it will not be because they are not ma
king the right kind of preparations for it

THEIR END Is sNEAR.-To-morrOw is the
day appointed for the execution of Logan
and Lipsey, who were found guilty of mur-
der and sentenced to be hung, during the
last term of the County Court at Coloma.
Tomorrow they meet their sentence and pay
the penalty of their crimes Unfortunate
and misguided menl How utterly miserable
their destiny They have "sown to the
wind" and now they ''reap Of the whirl-
wind" According to our established law,
their doom is, from all accounts, unquestion-
ably just Without any just cause they
have taken that which it is not possible for
them to give-the life of fellow being;
and, in so doing, they have rudely snapped
asunder those social bonds which unite one
man with another. ALI more: they have
violated every law of nature and of natures
God, as well us the sacred laws of their
country, and now it only remains for them
to expiate the latter with their blood, and
the former by humility and contrition of
spirit. In country where bloodshed and
murder are so common, it is right and prop
er that we think and mediate more upon
this subject The taking of human life is
solemn thing, and the living who sport the
weapons of death, would do well to reflect
upon the fearful results which follow the
perpetration of such hideous deeds.
Georgetown weekly news., 1854-11-02

of ours, Mr.. 0. B. Powell, formerly from
QuiEcy, ILL.,, sent us note stating that on
the day previous he and his partner, Mr.. NJ.
Orr, took out twenty-six pounds of pure
gold. They haveonly been working in that
vicinity during the last two or three months,
and for the last three or four weeks of that
time have been taking out the gold as above
stated. We congratulate the young men
upon their good fortune.
At another claim in these diggings we
are informed that on Monday Of last week,
near six thousand dollars was taken out of
single hole, or crevice, being the work of
two or three hours. However, the gold in
these diggings is principally found in crew.
ces, and consequently this statement could
not be considered in the estimate of daily
income.

HoNEsT.-The Democratic journals are
daily becoming more candid in their state
ments concerning their party. AS an in
stance, they are acknowledging that the de-
mocratic party is hopelessly divided. The
mighty mass has crumbled, and they are
now calling upon the Wings for assistance
in the hope that they in losing their power
on the one side, may gain it on the other.-
This is good policy in them, for, if success
ful in throwing their net, they would still
survive the rottenness of their downfall and
thereby secure for themselves the exuber-
ance of Government pap which they have
enjoyed so abundantly and exclusively for
the last few years! Perhaps the Wings
don't sauvy! A pretty thought, really
join the Democratic party! Why, men, you
have no true Democratic party; ha! ha! ha,

QUARTZ SPEoINENs.-On day before yes
terday we were shown some two or three
very beautiful and rich specimens of quartz,
which was taken out Of the quartz ledge
near Volcanoville. Altogether they weigh'd
about four pounds, and were valued at $500.
If these are fair specimens of the ledge above
referred to, it must be immensely rich, and
would, beyond all question, handsomely en-
rich that capitalist who would build quartz
mill upon the premises.

VEGETATION IN THE SoUTH.-The lower
part of this State is perfectly wonderful in
the fertility of the soil In the counties of
San Bernardino and Los Angeles, where
any irrigation is used, any slip, bush, or
tree that is planted is sure to flourish imme-
diately; even the roots that are set out for
fences begin soon to leaf out, and in short
time are handsome trees. We are informed
by person who recently arrived from the
former county, that in that vicinity there
are gardens full of trees loaded with deli
cious pears, peaches, and apples, large
portion Of which are rotting, as no one takes
the trouble to pick them and carry them to
market. The ranches on which these gar
dens are situated are generally owned by
Spanish Californans. Eve. journal.

COMPLEMENTARY DINNER.-The gentle
manly proprietors of the Railroad Hotel in
San Francisco, have generously rendered to
the members of the S. F. Press CLUB a
complimentary dinner, to come off at their
Hotel on next Saturday evening, Nov. 4th
We most gratefully acknowledge the receipt
of a card of invitation, through the commit
tee, Messrs. Alf S. Gould, NJ. G. Upton
and NJ. D. Wilson; but, in consequence of
urgent business in Georgetown, at that time
shall be obliged, most respectfully, to de
cline the invitation.
Georgetown weekly news., 1854-11-02

New RoAD.-We have recently heard a
good deal of talk among our capitalists in
Georgetown, about the construction of a
good emigrant road between this place and
Carson Valley. We have been assured by
gentleman who has recently surveyed the
route, that it is of an easy grade, as well as
in direct line from a point in Carson Val
ley to this place. 1t is estimated that the
entire cost of the road will not exceeds g.
900, and after its completion, as estimated
will be equal to any road in the mountains
The enterprise looks very plausible to US
and if carried out, will doubtless command
the principal travel from Carson Valley to
that of the Sacramento We shall have
more to say of this road at another time.

Hold on to your Wheat.

The San Francisco Evening Journal, in
speaking OF an article under the above head,
says:
A writer in the San Jose Tribune advises
the farmers to hold on to their wheat. He
calculates the wheat crop of California at
100000 barrels OF flour, or, after deducting
for waste and seed, he thinks there will be
100000 barrels for consumption. In April
last we estimated this years wheat crop at
AIS 900 barrels, which is probably near the
foure. and if so, it is evident that by rea-
son of the short crop in the Atlantic States,
and the increased demand in Europe, it must
bring a much larger price here than it now
does. Those, therefore, who can hold ON to
il will. without doubt, be remunerated for
their labor But hear a Santa Clara far
mer:
uSuppose there are 100000 acres in Cal
ifornia, Ia large estimate and we raise 30
bushels per acre on an average; we will then
hava 100000 bushels; allowing five bush
els to the barrel, we have 100000 barrels OF
Aour to the whole State. But there. Is to
come out of that two-ifths for seed and
waste. and we have left 100000 barrels;
let us allow one barrel and a half for each
inhabitant, and we have large deficit to
make up before another crop can be brought
into market. Now, this is the view take
of the whole matter, and if the farmer can,
by any possible means, hold on until the
far-Gamed Gallego and Haxall shall have
been consumed, | think he would then be
paid for his labor. No shipments can pos
sibly be sent here, when there is an increas-
ed demand for -four from the Eastern States,
and also from Europe, wisA deficiency on
hand of l5O,OGO,OO0 bushels compared to
the crop of last year in the States.

Hook & LADDER.-Our attention has
been called to the propriety of the organi-
zation of Hook & Ladder Company in
Georgetown, and considering the little ex-
pense in connection with the great advan-
tages of such an organization, we should
think that our villagers would set about i'm
mediately for the completion of 50 desirable
and necessary an arrangement. The season
has now approached in which there is dan
ger in delay, as the rainy season has not yet
commenced, and yet the weather is sufi-
GENTLY cold to require fires.
AT all seasons of the year Hook & Lad
der Company would give security to houses
and property, and we are sure that the for
mer experience of Georgetown, as well as
that of many other villages, will fully justify
us in urging this necessary precaution.

ANNEXATION OF THE SANDWICH ISLANDS
According to the Times & Transcript the
terms for the annexation of the above Isl
ands have been agreed to and settled be-
tween King Kamahamaha and Mr.. Gregg
the American representative. The Times
has not received the particulars of the
agreement, but has authority, as we sup
pose, for stating positively that the agree
ment has been made. 1t only remains fol-
the United States Government to approve
of and ratify the agreement.
