the AIavsville Steamer California Express, OF
the 1st inst.
ANNUAL DINNER TO THE HIBERNIAN SoCT-
ETY.-The San Francisco papers contain full
accounts of the dinner of the Hibernian Socl
ETY. in that city. We copy the following, ali
we have room for:
Girl and Religious LiJeyty-Principies in
separately allied to true Republicanism. -
Blighted be the hand that would restrict or
destroy them.
Anerica-alot the offspring Of one nation-b1f
of all Europe.-The policy OF attracting eml
grafton made the colonies tolerant and emil
grafton and tolerance made the colonies great.

ACCOMPLISHMENT of their manifest destiny

(tFA chunk was taken out of the Hook
and Bull Tunnel, at Smiths to-day, weigh
ing 600 pounds. \ piece was broken of, near
the size of nail keg, which yielded $500;
the remainder is said to be quite as rich. The
whole lump is near the size Of a Port ban reno
joke.
ANOTHER MONSTER NUGGET - SMITHS
FIAT STILL II THE FIELD-We are inform
ed by Rumrill & Cos messenger, that mon
ster nugget was taken out at Smiths Flat, Oh
Friday last II weighed between seven and
eight hundred pounds, and is supposed to
contain about two hundred pounds of pure
gold. l. has Lot yet been BROUGHT down. but
we shall hope to have glimpse of it in few
days. The mines are giving out gold-in
the. right fashion.
STILL ANoTHER--A gold and quartz boul-
der is reported to have been found near Mich
igan city, Placer county, which weighs 81
pounds.
HTThe Nevada Democrat says that it is
the general impression among the oldest and
most experienced miners, that the mining
season will be a short one, owing to the fact
that there is but very little STOW on the noun
tains. The streams are usually kept up by
the constant and regular supply afforded by
the melting snow, which will not be the case
this season.
SMUGGLING.-A well known house in San
Francisco, the Journal says, which has been
extensively engaged in the cigar trade, re-
ceived large number of cases of cigars from
Havana on the John L. Stephens. These
cases were entered as cigarritos, and valued
at $4,000, when on examination of course
they proved to be cigars and worth $4,000.
The affair is being investigated.
GAMBLING,-The Sacramento Tribune says
there is only one public gambling saloon open
in Sacramento at present; one year ago there
were five. We believe there are several
private establishments in full blast, where gen.
tlemen who don't wish to be seen at public
gaming table, continue to toy with the tickle
jade of fortune, and loose and win as their
luck runs.
MAN KILLED.-The following account Of
causualty was forwarded to us by Everts &
Co.:
FoRBEsTowN, March 21st.
While three men were at work about half a
mile from this place, the bank which was about
fifteen feet high, caved in, burying one OF
the men-his head only being visible. The
weight of the earth buried his body so that
he died before his partners could extricatC
him.
We learn by Mr.. Woodruff, a partner ol
the deceased, that his name is John Danner
has wife and family in Anarbor, Mich, and
that he has friends in San Francisco.

est branches of our trade, and of the golC
