INCREASE OF PoPULATicN.--It is thought that
the vote Of Tuolumne county will very near
reach 1000, making an increase of over thou
sand voters in the county during the past year.
Columbia, on the last election, polled eleven
hundred and sixty-seven votes, making an in
crease, over last year, of about three hundred
votes. This will do pretty well fer Columbia,
especially when It is remembered that this in
crease of votes is more than doubled by our
ACQUISITION of Women and chileren!

Francisco, is the prince of the literary depart

by untiring energy and perseverance. He has
made himself indspensahly useful to the edito-
rial corpse in California, and in doing this has
established himself in business as extensive
as is the Pacific State. Upon the arrival of
every mail steamer, we are brought under re-

en- route tor their destination. The enterprise
involved a cost of over $780, which is by no
means small amount to one in the newspapo-

"SEARcH THE SCRIPTURES. Some forty or
fifty years ago there was q telling sermon
preached in the SO old Bay State, by ia
nous minister in which occurred the folpN-
ing drOll passages:
My dear brethren. God works in mys-
terious way, and ain above using the mum
blest means to bring his critters TO their

rords solemn warning to all who neglect TINS
great duty Some time ago, / knew man
down at Marblehead Point--a 6shermsn-a
desperate, wicked man, prOfane swearer,
drunkard who never darkened the ooor Oh
meetin' house, or took delight In holy things.
liz had i family-a wife, three sons and Two
dauchters-all bad as himself; all going
straight down TO hell as fast as their legs
could carry them. But at last they were
brought to their senses in this wise, and from
limbs of Satan transmogri6ed into children OF

BILE in the heads Of the family. 1t vas long

hunted everywhere for the old fne-tootb

to garret They ransacked every closet ana
every drawer, but it couldn't be found"
Here the preacher paused and looked around,
then went on in low, solemn and emPhatio
tone: " At length it was found. Who found
it! L don't know; but it lcGS found, to the
great Joy and everlasting salvation OF that
family And, my friends, Echers do you think

ws An English chemist has q new plan for
obtaining alum He takes China clay and
breaks it into small pieces about tho size of
beans, and places them on false bottom in
a vessel lined with lead, after which tho clay
is covered for about twenty-four hours with
water imprcgnated with sulphurous acid, and
slightly heated. This diSsolyes the iron out
oc tho clay. The clear liquor is then run of,
and the clay retained is again covered with
pure water, which, after standing six hours,
is also run off Diluted sulphurid acid lie then
added, heat applied, and the liquor brought
up to 240 degrees Fab, and kept at that unui
the sulphuric acid is saturated with alumina'
The solution is then run of in leaden cooieis'
where the alum concretes into cakes.

ELEorRIcIrY FROM CHARcoAL.-Some che
raists think that the heat generated By con-
bustion is owing TO the union Of the two cleo
tricities Following out Of this train Of inves-
tigation. the able and acute experimentalIst,
Fsraday, has demonstrated that the electsici-
ty ,env0lved during the combustion OF tew
grains of charcoal or Of an ordinary candle
would, if il could be arranged in continuous
circuit, exceed the effect of the most powerful
batteries. The solution of this problem would
place in our hands tremendous forces for the
production Of mechanical effect and motive
power; also, the discovery Of any substance ca
bable of forming the negative element in q
circle of which carbon proved the positive,
would give us cheap method Of forming the
various scarbuletted hydrogen used for illu'
minatiou.
