QUICKSILVER MINES AT ALMADEN.-
We were few days since furnished, says
the Marysville Express, by DR.. 0. H.
Pierson, with some very rich specimens Of
orc from these mines, together with the
following description of them, furnished
the Doctor by Mr.. Bestor, the manager
The mines were discovered and worked
by Mexicans as early as l946, and have
been in the hands of, and worked by the
present company since lS49 They are,
we believe, about l5 miles from San Jose,
and are reached by beautiful carria !.
road. The scenery is wild and beautif, ~. 4,
which surrounds the mines, and there are
valuable mineral springs which will make
it place of fashionable public resort
The mine is situated about one mile from
the furnaces and at an elevation of 100
feet. They employ 100 Mexican laborers,
who receive three dollars per cargo, of two
Hheelbarrow loads, or two to three dollars
per day. There is tunnel run into the
hill, about l 200 feet, a portion of which
is supported with wooden arches. From
the mouth of the tunnel, the ore is thrown
down an almost perpendicular precipice
OF 235 feet below the summit of the noun
tain. The work is continued night and
day. The ore is very rich, yielding an
average OF 20 per cent the year round,
and is expected soon to yield IS to so per
cent. The samples furnished us are
worth the last figure. The company now
take out from 100 to l50 tons Of ore per
week. This is carted down to the fur
mace, distance of one mile. The build
ings for the furnaces cover a space of
about FIVE acres There are l3 furnaces
now in operation, and the monthly yield
is from 200 to 300 TASKS, valued at from
$50 to $75 each. The principal markets
are Chill, Mexico and Peru, the United
States consuming but small proportion
of the yield. Fifty men are employed at
the furnaces, at salaries varying from $50
to $500 per month. The mines are
yielding liberal profits

Ex-PREsrDENT VAN BuREN AT AN
EARTAeuAKE-An American gentleman
writes from Nice, Italy, that during the
last season, while Mr. Van Buren was in
that city, hearing that earthquakes were
formerly prevalent in that part of the
country, but that no shock had been felt
for number of years, told his italian host
that, for the rarity and novelty of it, he
would like to have ssmall shake" hap
pen while he was there Sure enough, in
few weeks thereafter, in the dead of the
night, the whole city and mountains COM
menced rocking, and the inhabitants, in
the greatest CONSERVATION, fed to the
streets. Among others in the park, which
is near the hotel, was Mr.. Van Buren, in
primitive costume, and in high state of
excitement. The ex-Presid1nt and the
citizens passed the balance of the night in
the streets, and he was perfectly satisfied
with the sssmall shake.'

With feelings common to all Eastern
lands, they carry away their dead, and
bury them with their fathers.
a number of voluntary associations
nave been formed among the Chinese for
the purpose of effecting the removal of
their dead. 1t is not done through their
~" suns, or common companies > but
each one subscribes what he thinks prop
er. We have lying before us the first
draught of report from one of these.
which has assumed the name of the Chih-
shin Cor BenefcialD Association. The
introduction to this report is as follows =
The benevolent purposes for which
the Chick-shin Association was establish
ed were first put into effect in the autumn
OF eighteen hundred and fifty four The
work was carried on till the present time,
that IS the, summer of eighteen hundred
and fifty-fve (; and now, on the second day
of the fifth month (June) is completed
A vessel has sailed conveying the coffins
to our native villages There remained
however but balance of somewhat over
four hundred dollars, which we fear would
be scarcely enough to pay for their trans
portation from Hongkong to Pun -sha-wan,
and would not meet the expenses of the
sacrifices to the dead. After consultation
together, it has been resolved, that those
who have not paid be requested to hand
over at once the subscriptions due, for re-
mittance to China, so that the amount
necessary may be made up for the sacri-
fees and for the erection of tombs, and
that the accounts of the Association NAV
be closed. We present the following re-
port, and request gentlemen to notify us
of any mistakes in it previous to the expi-
ration of the eight month. When the
subscriptions have been paid, the books
will be forwarded to China, and the tombs
be put up. No provisions however will
be made for tombs for those whose friends
here do not pay before the time limited
expires; and record will be also made of
their deficiency. We desire earnestly the
payment of the sums due, that these be-
nevolent objects may be accomplished, and
that they may bear their good fruits We
pray all to exert themselves to this effect,
the end may be attained, no excuse left
those who are negligent, and that all may
share the happiness and the merit which
they deserve"
The report then gives series of reso-
lutions, calling on all to pay what is still
due the Association, and finally state
ment of the subscriptions h will show
the earnestness with which its members
have prosecuted their object to say, that
over two thousand Chinese have entered
their names; generally contributing about
five dollars each, some however much lar
ger sums. They have sent to China nine
ty two bodies in all, which is all the dead
from the district the subscribers represent.
When these arrive, solemn sacrifices will
be offered, and tombs of granite be erect
ed. The ''orphan spirits" will then,
amidst the company of their fathers and
kindred, find peace.

From the Sacramento Union.
Central America Colonization.

The isthmus of New Granada, Nicar-
aqua, and in fact the entire country known
as Central America, are destined to be
occupied and Prominently settled by the
Anglo Saxon race. Such result is inev-
table, and although possession may not in
all instances be given, and the native oc-
cupants of the soil be compelled in time
to succumb to the progressive spirit of the
age.
A company has recently been charter
ed by the Legislature of Pennsylvania,
with capital of two millions of dollars,
divided into twenty thousand shares of
one hundred dollars each, for the coloniza-
ton of the beautiful and fertile province
of Chiriqui, which lies in that portion of
New Granada bordering upon Costa Rica.
1t is the intention of the company to bring
into cultivation the grants of land made
by the Legislature Of that province to Mr..
Thompson, as also the fine tract border
ing on the Gulf of Dulce, comprising some
of the choicest land in South America.
From the Panama Star we learn that
the above company is already fully oFga-
nised, with large working capital, and
ere long corps of engineers and geolo-
gists will be sent out, and preparation
made for locating settlers and building a
town on the Gulf of Dulce.
This company, remarks the Star, inter-
fere in no way with the rights and privlle-
ges of the Panama Railroad its inten-
tions are entirely pacific, and it expects
to act under and in accordance with the
laws of the country to which its operations
are confined. 1t has no political object,
and the settlers sent out to go as friends,
and not as invaders or fillibusters.
The Isthmenians, or ratherthe adopted
citizens of New Granada, appear to be
very desirous of encouraging immigration
thither. They are themselves as yet very
feeble as regards numbers, and with the
exception Of the country lying immediate
ly adjacent to the railroad, no portion of
it is settled to any extent by whites.
The tract of territory contemplated to
be colonized by the organization referred
to, is represented as being unusually fer
tile. and capable of yielding all the tropi-
cal fruits and other products of the Garth
in the greatest profusion. The climate is
also said to be healthful and delightful, j,
and on the whole the inducements offered
to enlist in the enterprise are suthcient
to lead many of the adventurous spirits of
the older States to take up their perma-
nent abode on ssthe narrow neck Of land. u

HALF-AND-HALF SwEARING.-It is
amusing, in looking over down-east pa
pers, to notice how carefully the name Of
the arch enemy of souls is put iu print,
and still how frequently! They know it
is wicked to say 'devil,' and therefore
write it thus: "Hezekiah, what the d
are you doin' on;''
We once knew promising young lad
who was equally Conscientious, and never
got higher in the blasphemous vocabulary
than "dernation." One day when this
sweet child was busily engaged in driving
nails in the sausage-block, he received a
smart application of maternal digitals
alongside the head, which caused him to
make miss-lck and pound his fingers.
Looking up at the old 'un, with an air of
injured innocence, he said, half obviously
"Mother, I'll say damn, this time, if l
burn for it,"

WoMAN's VITA big fire might have
occurred in Marysvile on Wednesday
but for the presence Of mind Of a young
lady The Express says:
''About half past 9 O'Clock on " elnes-
day night the residence of George Carr,
Esq, on Il street, was discovered to be
on FIRE, the flames having been communi-
csted from lighted candle to the window
curtain, in the sleeping apartment, ana
when discovered the lining of one side of
the room was in blaze: but owing to the
admirable presence Of mind of young
lady, in procuring water and battling with
the flames with the desperation of an ex-
perienced fireman, the fire was subdued
without any material damage having been
done"
