! A TWELVE Pound CHUNK.-A returned
Californian, who dropped into our Office a
few days since. and who has seen every part
Of that great country, and gathered enough
ore to make man feel happy, related to US
the following good one:
"The landlord of hotel, built Of boards.
and located near the Tekulk Digg ngs. was
presented by his wife with fine twelve pound
boy, which coming to the ears of wag, he
circulated the story that the host had found
''twelve pound chunk" which ran like
wlldhre through the place, and caused quite
an excitement. A few weeks afterwards, a
minor from another quarter, having heard of
the twelve pound chunk, arrived at the ho-
tel, and at once made application 70 the
landady for lodging. Her husband being
absent. she attended to the guest, when the
Following conversation took place, which
should be prefaced y the remark that the
story had exploded several days before his
arrival, and the landlaiy HAD enjoyed the
sell with the rest.

who got the twelve pound chunk"

laughing.

The miner here paused awhile, and at last,
after some reflection, he said:

'sOh, no, it's in the other room. Would
you like to see it?'
"Well, | should; but faint laying round

The miner bent over, when pair Of club

PROHIBITION OF SLAVERY IN KANSAS AM
NEBRAskA.-The following is copy of Mr..
Mace's bill for the prohibition of Slavery in
Kansas and Nebraska. 1t will be observed
that 1t is an exact transcript of the Ord
nance OF 1877, and also of the e.ghth section
OF the act OF 1920 preparatory to the admis-
sion OF Missouri, and commonly known as
the Missouri Compromise. Mr.. Mace sus-
tanned this bill in an able speech. He dis
claimed all desire to renew agitation. He
wished Congress to settle the matter at once
and for ever.
A BILL to Prohibit Slavery in the Terrific.
ries of Nebraska and Kansas.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House If
Representatives of the United States Of
america in Congress assembled, That slave
ry and involuntary servitude, except for the
punishment of crime, whereof the part;es
shall have been duly convicted, is forever
prohibited in the Territories of Nebraska and
Kansas.

] always told them the bank 'ud break, and
be the death ov 'em, and they only laughed
at me. Ochone! what'll become Of lone
woman, without husband or childer." II
appeared that her husband and two sons
were employed at a sand bank, and hearing
that hank was ssbruk, ]" as she expected it,
she at once thought the particular bank where
all the wife and mother had to love were at
work, had fallen upon and buried them, a
not unfrequcnt catastrophe.
When made to understand the difference
between bank Of deposit and bank of
sand, she was in a hurry to run back home
to be sure all was right; but so much was
she enfeebled by agitation, that a glass Of
water had to be procured for ner, and our in
formant, genuine good Samaritan accom-
panied her home, where she fell on Fer knees
to thank the Holy Virgin when she found her
family all comfortably seated. 1t appeared
their ssboss" had taken them home to supper
with him, and their unaccustomed absence
had ALARMED the affectionate woman, who
had just then heard of the bank breaking, and
rushed off expecting to find them buried be-
meath the fallen earth. ~ U.s.
A lady Of our acquaintance went through a
great deal Of unnecessary suffering in con-
nection with one Of the recent failures. Her
husband and eldest son were absent on lit
tie trip down the river, when the news reach
ed her Of the failure Of the bank in which
for years, they had deposited their saving,
with the intention Of some day buying house
and some land in the country. How she
grieved can be well surmised but her grief
was more for her industrious and self-deny
ing husband and son, than for herself. How
could she communicate the sad news Of the
wreck Of their hard-carned property? They
had left her in such buoyant spirits for a lit
tie holiday, an unwonted indulgence, and
therefore much thought Of and what a sad
welcome she had in reserve for them. They
returned yesterday, but the occurrences Of
the week were sources of no trouble to them.
With the desire Of giving her pleasing sur
prise, they had re Gently drawn all their mo-
ney from the bank, and little below Madi-
son had purchased perfect paradise Of a
farm, ready stocked. Her surprise was a
pleasing one indeed, but from different rea-
sons to what they had expected when carry
ing out their little plot. ~

Improving.
Thompson's Reporter, for January l, 1855
says that money is more abundant, and the
amount of unemployed capital held by Banks
and individuals is accommodating. Nothing
is wanting but confidence to make money
easy. Specie shipments have entirely eeas-
ed; the imports of foreign goods are falling
off every week, and the liquidation of indab-
tedness at home and abroad isggoinc on rap
idly. Our Banks are in very strong posi-.
ton, and an expansion of million of dollars
could be made with safety. We think that
in New York, and in all the large ties, we
have seen the worst. There will undoubs-
edly be more failures in different sections cf
the country, and it will require months to re-
move the feeling Of distrust that is now so
prevalent; but the danger Of general CON-
mercla crash Is, in our opinion, over.
In uncurr ent money.lrh business has fallen

ures, and there is not SO much disposition to
run to the brokers with everything that does
not happen to be bankabie. Currency is in
more demand, and there is less accumulation
at the redemption agencies. Country Banks
are easier. and their balances here are increas-
ing. In New England, case Of Suffolk
alton occurs occasionally, but the number of
actual failures have been much less than
might have been expected.-(Chicago Dem

an rnON.

We have been favored with the perusal of
along and quite interesting letter from Mr..
Thomas Arundel, Gated Rogue River Valley,
Oregon, october 9th, 1854, which we must
content our readers with an abstract of, ow-
ing to the crowded state of our columns and
the multiplicity Of communications on hand.
Mr.. A. is not an admirer Of Oregon and
judging from the. tone of his letter, would
gladly exchange residence there for one ia
Iowa, his former place of abode. He says
the country is shut out from the balance Of
the world, the climate is disagreeable and
unhealthy, the territory broken and noun
famous, the soillstcrile and unproductive and
that Oregon would not retain even its present
population for any considerable length of
time, were it not for the productiveness of
the gold diggings. He thinks it better
as grazing, than as grain country, but
doubts its proftableness in this respect, be-
cause Of the difficulty Of keeping stock to-
gether and protecting it from the rowing
bands Of thieving Indians who abound 10
that country.
Altogether Mr.. Arundel is decidedly
"teraent" Oregon. He says that thou
sands in that country are Disguised with it
and would leave it if they could dispose of
their effects. He says his claim is for sale
1t $1,000 and if he can sell it, which he
thinks very probable next Spring, he shall
return to Iowa, and be content with less
gold and more civilization, refinement and
happiness.
The price of grain and provisions is
put down at the following figures. Wheat
$4,5O per busiiel-potatoes 5 cts, per h.
flour l2a cts per Id and beef from Il to 20
cents per pound. I.
MIR. Arundel concludes this letter by ho-
ping that the time he has spent in Oregon
will not be marked against him, as he has
not lived but merely starved.
