There was another decline In the price OF beet
cattle Yesterday If in fact such cattle as most OF
those in market are worthy OF that appeiIstioh'
The price of such as were really good beef did not
exceed 10 cents per ID. for the meat, while good
fair stock sold much less, running down In the
small trash and lower grades to less than cents
averaging upon the 1900 offered less than . cents
per ID. net This is variation Of about six cents
a podnd from the highest market day OF last
Spring; and makes difference in the cost of beef
for one hotsl in this City of a thousand dollars
week, and very large difference in the expenses
of all meat eating families, though not in proper
ton 10 the cost Of cattle and last May, for the
reason that butchers too apt to be Obvious OF
the fact that their customers are aware OF the fall
in prices The prospect is very fair now that the
price Of tip-top beef cattle will not exceed ten
cents pound net this Fall upon any fair cash
Gales in this market, and fair quality of cattle will
be sold at eight cents. Parties can make up their
minds to that The receipts of beeves in the City
las. week we're over $500.

LITIGATION ON AN EXTENSIVE SCALE
A law suit is now pending for the posses
sion of the notoriously rich tunnel claims at
Jones Hill, known as the Columbia Tun-
mel Mining Company. Plaintiffs formerly
took up the claims, run in tunnel, without
striking anything, after which they suspend
ed operations in it for time, during which
suspension, the defendants commenced work
III the same claims. The defendants claim
that plaintiffs had abandoned the claims;
while, on the part of the plaintiffs, they
aver that they had not abandoned them, but
had merely suspended operations for more
convenient season. We shall not attempt
to give the evidence brought, either pro or
con, until the case is disposed of. The ex-
animation is now being carried on before
the Justice of the Peace in American Flat.
This is perhaps a suit involving more capi-
tai than any ever before brought under the
jurisdiction of Justice of the Peace. The
claims, twelve in number, are valued at
$4,000. The case was at first brought be-
fore Squire WILLIAMS, of Georgetown, but
in consequence of supposed difficulty in
obtaining an impartial jury, the defendants
claimed change of venue and removed the
suit to American Flat AS this suit will
involve point of law of vital Importance
to miners, we shall give further particulars
of the trial in our next issue.

Death is another life. We bow our heads.

Larger than this we leave, and lovelier.
Nevertheless, most people dread death, and
will catch at every remedy for the tortures that

DR.. GUYSOTT'S IMPROVED EXTRACT OF
YELLOW DOCK AND SARSAPARILLA, is
pre-eminently the safest and most reliable medi,
cines for restoring the human system to life and
vigor.
This Sarsaparilla contains more of the pure
Honduras Sarsaparilla than any other prepara
ton that now exists-which is chemically com
bined with the Extract of YeHo,p Dock, and the
Extract of Wild Cherry, thus making the remedy
more thoroughly ancient than any other Sarss-
parilla before the public.
ScRoFULA has baffled the skill of the most en-
inent phyeicians in this country and in Europe
But there is an antidote for this disease in DR..
Guysott's Extracts of Yellow Dock and Sarsapa-
rilla, which is proving itself specific in the
most severe cases of Scrofula.

OK A BARREL.-A gentleman of Green
wood Valley, was, on last Tuesday, strong
ly suspected of specializing in way, not
altogether consistent with the rules of pro-
priety, as laid down by BLACKSTONE; in con-
sequence Of which, the unnatural curiosity
Of some of the Greenwood merchants laid
snare for him, by way of marking money
and leaving it in their own drawers. The
consequences were as expected-the snare
sprung, and strange enough, the money was
Immediately afterwards found in the pos
session Of the above mentioned gentleman
Specutator. He was accordingly brought
into the presence Of a committee, and upon
due consideration, was very politely inform
ed by them, that in his zeal to accomo-
date his own pockets, he had unfortunately
committed the indiscretion Of appropriating
money that did not belong to him, and
in order that the public might appreciate
his natural good qualities, he was informed
by the committee that it would be his duty
to stand on a aCine cask, before certain
house of i'll repute for the space of trcenty-
four hours, and for the purpose OF aiding
him in fulfilling these requirements, he was
chained. to post, on which was nailed a
board with the einscription of THIEF emblaz-
oned in front thereof!
In all probability the fellow, in reality,
richly deserved the punishment received;
but certainly, the sentence was an illegal
one, and the license used in the Judgment,
was improper, as it was their duty to have
brought him before Justice and law
fully constituted Jury.

Necessity of the $1,000 Ell.

By noticing the statistical account Of
"cost of Legislation" in another column. it
will be seen, that, the costs of the present
Legislature, up to February lst, has amount
ed according to the calculation of the State
Tribune, to $77,62O. Now large portion
of this expense has been incurred while bal
loting for .. S. Senator, and as reports do
not yet show any progress towards effecting
an election, and as only about two hours
are employed each day in the endeavor we
may reasonably expect, Judging from the
past, that this question will occupy the time
of the Legislature for at least six weeks to
come. Now, as the daily expenditure is re-
corded at 1854, at the end of the next
six weeks perhaps, the fruitless question of
the election of U. S. Senator, will have cost
the State about $20,752. This, with the
other expenditures of legislation and State
Government, will SO far involve the Treas
ury as to require, on the part of our legisla-
tors, some immediate appropriations, in Or
der to secure their pay.
