HOMESTEAD LAw-Mr. Ryland has intro
duced into the Assembly, bill amending
the Homestead Law, " limiting the home
stead to one town lot Of fifty yaras square,
if within city or incorporated town, and
outside city or town it is not to exceed
one hundred and sixty acres. nor the value
of $4,000. Notice of the homestead is to
be fled in the Recorders Office. If the
homestead cannot be divided, and is to be
sold, the $500 is to be paid the judg-
ment debtor or to his wife, as the District
Judge shall direct. This is done to pre-
vent q worthless husband from dispesiug
o. Inc money and defeating the homestead

thousand miners asking for water cannot
be disregarded. Let those who deem this
statement an exaggerated one, visit this
section Of the country, and nowhere will
they find miner who will not tell him,

months work. The season when most can

the treasures of the earth almost inex-

their splendid stores, their palaces, their
public buildings, and by the sweat of
whose brow is gained those treasures
which move the steamers upon our rivers,

Let them look st a season of unexampled
pressure in the money market because it

and the broken shaft, the imperfect Tyre,
the crushed wreath, and her expressive
lines arc like her life, an eloquent poem.
One glossy curl of auburn hair, around
which my fingers have oft been twined
when it was plated over her brow, her
parting memento, and the remembrance
shrined within my heart, are all that now
remains of my girlhood's early friend.

We travelled round the mountain until it
looked all shapes. There is snow there
all the year.
1t should be borne in mind what sort
Of prospecting was done then; small hole
was dug, with no sort of judgment, and if
no gold was found in q few hours, it was
abandoned. I still think there is gold
there, and should like to go back, for my
own satisfaction. The great quantities
of quartz and black sand indicate gold.
1t was now late in the season, about the
last of September; our provisions were
nearly out, and we thought best to return.
Keeping round the chapparal, we came
down through the meadows, where grass
was abundant; this we reported in Dow
melville on our return. On the way we
found gold on Wolf Creek, and there met
Jack Smith and Mr.. Nugent, who were
prospecting. Not wishing to be caught
in the storm we all returned to the Forks.

SIMON SUGGs, of the Montgomery, Ala, ,.
Mail, tells of Judge who caught man
making the most demoniacal grimaces at
him, while on the bench. The fellow WAS
forthwith fined ten dollars for contempt.
"Why, what's that for 2" exclaimed the
unfortunate man.
"You're making faces at the Court, sir
There you are again, sir! Mr.. Clerk,
enter up another fine Of the same amount
against this man"
Here our friend. Tom j, interfared,
and explained that the person fined habtu-
ally looked as be did now-was worthy
citizen, and never was sin contempt" in
his life.
"Very good, very good, Mr.. j." said
the Judge. "Let the fines be RENTED;
bat this court has a general power to
abate nuisances, which, interfere with its
administration of law. Mr.. Sheriff, carry
this man. at least two hundred yards from
the court house, and SEQ that he does n't
enter it again."

Primary Meeting.

Primary Meeting.
The canine citizens of Nevada, held a
meeting on Monday night, condemning
the late hog ordinance of that city. Rum
ners have been sent out in all directions,
and on Wednesday night a primary meet
ing was held in front of the Pest Office,
in Downieville, for the purpose of electing
delegates to the general convention to be
holden at Nevada.
McMillen's Watch was called to the
chair, and stated the object Of the meeting
to be for the further consideration Of the
strychnine question; cries Of no! no |!
Whereupon Langton's Cub rose and stated
that his colleague, the President, was aE
fected with deafness, but that the Presi-
dent weuld listen to debate with great
impartiality. On motion of Gernon's
Pero, Cub was appointed a committee on
finance, with authority to confer with the
Cal. Steam Navigation Co., respecting
the extradition of all bipeds from Downie-
vile. Taylor's Jowler begged leave to
state, that he was formerly connected with
the Marysville press, and that he could not
countenance movement that was calcu-
lated to swell the abdominal rotundity of
the monopoly. Milles's Joker, proposed
that a Chinese junk should be built for
the transportation Of surplus population.
Bog in the crowd moved the previous
question. President begged him to dry
up. Pero proposed going into caucus, to
elect representative to the Nevada con-
vention, but Messrs. Cub, Jowler and
Joker, were opposed to caucuses, and re-
fered to the late proceedings Of the Cali
fornia Legislature; whereupon Cub was
nominated in general convention, and
elected, crescendo uoce, after which, there
was a general call for a speech from the
Representative elect Cub Immediately
rose and how'd to his constituents, and
said he would be happy to receive any in
structions. Pero requested to be Informed
whether the Representative was Broderick
or Anti-Broderick Joker wanted to
know whether he was sound on the Shang-
hae question? Craycroft's Betties wanted
to know his opinion OH the female rights
question, and also warned him against jew
larkin' or philandering with any Of his
female friends at Nevada. Rumril's Ne
braska Billy arrived in high state Of ex-
citement, with the intelligence that SGbas-
topol had been taken-through by day
light. Great excitement Johnny Gar
ncsett's Watch proposed raising fill
clustering company, to carry aid and COM
fort to the Allies. Chapman's Plumas
requested the Hon. Member elect, to use
his influence to defeat Gwin's Pacific Rail-
road bill, also to improve the cmigrant
route on the Humboldt. Cayote, resi-
dent Of Utah, offered to act as chaplain,
gratuitously, but his offer was declined,
on account of his known advocacy of poly
gamy. The convention then adjourned to
Domenick's butcher shop, to partake of a
collation-that establishment having for
merly been patronized by the member
elect. After the cloth was removed, from
quarter of beef) Pero proposed as a
sentiment, "the Post Office Department, "
and the health of his friend, the Post
Master General, but just then a man was
seen approaching with cleaver, and the
convention adjourned sine die.

Prospect City.

Permit me to trouble you with few items
concerning our "diggins," and the manner
in which the people Of Prospect City pas
sed the holidays. Our mining interest will
prove far more beneficial to all classes this
season than it did the last. There are one
third more persons here, and greater prepa-
rations for mining are made, and the only
hindrance to our pockets and purses being
lined, is the universal want of water. A
number of Companies are drifting, and to
say that they are uot doing well, would
not be telling the truth. G. w. Reese &
Co. have run drift in their claims about
one hundred feet, and have taken out from
81 90 to $3.50 to the pan-and the further
they 60 in the better it pays.
Hack Ballard & Co. and W. F. Scott
& co. have run in drifts of about sixty feet
in length, and have been paid from 40 cts.
to $l-to the pan.
Many claims prospect from 25 to so cts.
and the present indications for good and
lasting diggings here are better than any
other "dry diggins" know of at this time.
There is much ground here that has ne
yer been prospected, and a company has
been organized to bring in water ditch
from the falls of Canon creek, which they
will be able to complete by next FALL The
route is partly surveyed and graded and
ready for excavation the ditch will be
very large, and it is confidently expected,
that it will supply the place with water all
the year through.
Our city, in q general way, is improving
very fast, and is destined to be far better
business place than Craig's Flat. A large
Hotel has lately been erected and is now in
full blast--it is kept by our friend z. Cd
lem Esq. Also one store, and two Others
close at hand, with ample supplies of pro-
visions for the winter.
We have also, among the inhabitants,
two Of the softer sex, and our population
has been increased by the addition Of a ve-
ry young miner lately.
The Holidays passed off pleasantly to
all hands. The s,boys commenced early
Christmas morning and kept merry until
New Years highland wound up by a
grand Ball given by Mr.. Odlem. During
the week, fine entertainments were given
by Mrs. II. Ballard, and Mr.. G.. w. Keese
at which all the delicacies of the season
were set forth and fair justice done.
will not trouble you further at present
but will keep you posted in the doings and
diggins at our place.

that the EuropeanI governments, AMI their
