tions in the country, and their theoretical as we'll
as practical knowledge Of sysiemized business

IMPORTANT TO JUsTIcEs.-A prisoner in our
county Jail obtained his discharge last week by
virtue OF writ of habcas corpus. The facts
were, that he was tried and sentenced by JUS
tice OF the Peace for all assault and battery. On
the trial the prisoner expressly waived jury,
and the Justice thereupon tried the without
the intervention of a jury, and sentenced the
prisoner to sixty days Imprisonment in the
county jail The learned Judge held that the
Imprisonment was illegal because of Sec. OF
Art, !, Const. of Cal, which reads:
: The right of trial by .jnry shall be secured to
all, and remain nviolate forever but jury tri-
al may be waived by the parties, IN all GIRL cases,
III the manner to be prescribed by law"
The Judge maintained that in criminal case,
the defendant could not under this section, waive
jury.-Miners Adcocnte

REMEDY FOR SCALDs AND BURSs.-In the
American Medical Gazette for March, DR.. Reese
thus earnestly reiterates his advice to apply
-four to scalds and burns:
I'VE still see reported. almost daily. an ap-
palling number of deaths by burns and scalds,
not one OF which. we take upon ourselves 10
say, need prove fatal or would do so, if a few
pounds of wheat -four could be promptly applied
to the wounds i"ade by fire. and repeated until
the lnfammatory stage had passed. We have
never known fatal case of scalding or burn
ing in which this practice has been pursued,
during more than thirty years experience, and
having treated hundreds ia both public and pri-
vaie practice. We have known the most extern
sve burns by falling into caldrons of boiling oil,
and even molten copper. and yet the patients
were rescued by this simple and cheap remedy,
which, from its infallible success, should sup
plant all the fashionable nostrums, whether oil.
cotton, lead water, ice, turpentine, or pain ex-
tractors, every one of which has been tried a
thousand times with fatal result, and the victims
have died in excruciating agony. when few
handsful of flour would have calmed them to
sleep, and rescued them from pain and death.
Humanity should prompt the profession to pub
lish and republsh the facts this subject, which
are established by the authority of standard
medical works on both sides of the Atlantic
Flour is THE remedy, and the only one, in severe
cases OF scalding and burning, casualties which
else so often destroy life. Let us keep it before
the people, while the explosion Of steam boilers
and burning fluid lamps are SO rife all over our
country. f m

AN AsToNIsHED PIG.-One of our Western
farmers being very much annoyed last summer
by his best breaking into the cornfied,
search was instituted in vain for hole in the
rail fence. Failing to find any, an attempt was
next made to drive out the animal by the same
way of her entrance, but of course without sue
cess. The owner then resolved to watch her
proceedings; and posting himself at night in
fence corner, he saw her enter at one end of a
hollow log, outside the field, and emerge at the
other end within the enclosure. Eureka ~
cried he, 'rI have you now old lady!' Accord
ngly. he proceeded, after turning her out once
more, to so arrange the log, it being very crook
ed, that both ends opened on the outside of the
field The next day, the animal was observed
to enter at her accustomed place, and shortly to
emerge again.
Her astonishment," says our informant, "at
finding herself in the same field whence she had
started, is too ludicrous to be described She
looked this way and then that, grunted her dis
satisfaction, and finally returned to her original
starting place; and after deliberate survey of
matters, to satisfy herself that it was all right
she again entered the log. On emerging yet
once more on the wrong side, she evinced even
more surprise than before. and turning about
retraced the log in an opposite direction. Find
ing this effort likewise in vain, after looking
long at the position of things, with short, an
cry grunt of disappointment. and perhaps fear
she turned short round, and started off on brisk
run, nor could either coaxinge cor driving ever
after induce her to visit that part of the field !!
She seemed to have superstitions concerning the
spot.-Knickerhocker
The Shasta courier., 1855-04-21

PoErRr-We have perused much Of verse,
and some of poetry, but we believe that search
entirely through the whole catalogue Of English
poetry, you cannot find a more thoughtful invo-
cation than the following, written by Major Al
len, of the U. S. Quartermaster's department of
San Francisco.
"Teach me, Almighty Father, how to die;
Give ME THE PASSWORD TO ETERNITY:
Wherein have offended, oh forgive!
While yet I'm LIVING, teach me how to live ~
We have an opinion that as much as those four
lines say. has never before been put in four
lines To,en Tall.

THE POWER OF THE PREss.-It is said that
the London Times has only to leave out of its
columns, the law reports in which any expert
enced lawyer figures, and that lawyeris a ruined
man. lfthe Times refused to publish the speeches
Of any one member of the House OF Commons,
he would certainly be politically dead. 1t the
London Times was to refuse to publish the ad-
vertisements of leading London theatre for
one month, the unlucky theatre would close its
portals 1t could not get on. Such is the force
OF one press in London.

and on the western side 1850 feet. About 1900
feet remain to be cut. The whole tunnel is to
be arched with brick five feet thick. The line

Eighteen months, it is estimated, will be re-
