How WOLVES CAJoLE AND CAPTURE WILD HORSES
Wherever several Of the large wolves associate to-
gether for mischief there is always numerous train
of smaller ones to follow inthe rear and act as aux

are sufficient to destroy the most powerful horse and
seldom more than two ever begin the assault although
there may be score in the gang. 1t is no less curious
shan amusing to witness this ingenious mode of attack
If there is snow, or but little on the ground two
wolves approach in the most playful and caresslng
manner, lying, rolling and frskine about, until the
too credulous and unsuspecting victim is completely
put of his guard by curiosity and familiarity Daring
this time the gang sQnatting their hind quarters
look on at distance.
After some time spent in this way the two ASSISTANTS
separate, when one approaches the horses head the
other his tail with sllyness and cunning peculiar to
themselves AT this stage of the attack their fro e-
some approaches become very interestingits in ri hit
good earnest the former is mere dec0y the latter is
the real assaant, and keeping his eyes steadily fixed
on the hamstrngs TANKS of the horse The critical
moment is then watched, and the attack is smultana-
nstant--one to the throat, the other to the an-and
II successful, which they generally are, The hind one
never lets go his hold till the horse is completely dis
aoled' Instead Of springing forward or kicking to
lsengage himself, the horse turns round and round
vi bout attempting defence The wolf before, then
sp1 gs behind to assist the other Thesinews are cut
and IL half the time have becn describing it, the
horse Is on his side; his struggles are frutess-thc

at gallon but the small fry Of followers keep at
respectful distance until their superors are gorged
and then they take their turn unmoested.

OrnuE, January 28th, 1856.
M'. Hditor:-At meeting of the "Ophir-
vile Democratic Club held on Saturday
evening" January 26th, the following pream-
bic and resolutions were unanimously adopted:
Whereas, 4 majority OF the selfstyled
American party, (par excellence, in the Leg
islature Of this State, have shown by their
course on the Senatorial question: an utter
disregard Of the wishes of the people, and
the true interest and welfare Of the State
and nation, by endeayorng through threats
Of cabalistc vengeance, and acrimonious de-
nunciations, to frjghten Hon. Senators from
a conscientious discharge OF their duty-the
ayowel purpose being to secure the election
of a certain candidate to the United States
Senate who has become notorious as poIit-
cal Weathcrcock and inyeterate Office hunter,
and whereas, by the united and harmonious
efforts Of the Democratic Senator'S these i'll
concerted plans have been frustrated and
California thereby rescued from an impend-
inc odium Of Il six wears Misrepresentation
in the Senate Of the United States; therefore
be it
RcsoireI BY the Ophirville Democratic
Club that the action taken by the State
Senate Of California, in postponing the cleo
ton Of Senator to Congress- to the lst of
January, 1857, meets with our hearty appro-
val, and every Democrat or Senator who
contributed by bis vote to effect this result,
is not only entitled to our thanks, but the
gratitude Of every Democratic citizen of the
State.
ReSoI0ed That the fearless, manly and in
dependent stand taken on this question by
Senators Flint, Wilson, and Fislle, has won
for them our appreciation and respect.

SACRAMENTO, Jan. 81, 1886.
TaJJ Nitchcll, Esq, Dear Sir:-Since we
had the pleasure of beholding your phiz
amongst us, we have had all sorts Of weather.
Iii the language of his Majesty the weather
god it has been sunshine and rain, cloudy,
foggy, cloudy and fogoy without rain, etc,
etc; and at the present time, IN the language
Of "Ph0niX,' the weather is about 0C2.
By-the-byo the scale that Phoenix has given
us to computate beauty, goodness, ETC., is
great. For by it we can arrive nearer an
accurate idea of anything, than by the ad
jectives good, handsome, etc, and | sincerely
hope that it may come into general use. To
90 back to the weather again Ga never failing
topic), it seems to have settled down into a
long rain, thereby causing thousands of the
delivers after the root Of all evil" to rejoice
Our Railroad is progressing finely, and by
next week the cars will stop at their depot in
the town Of Folsom (Fool-some), when we
anticipate good time in the Inauguration of
the road Folsom is becoming quite busi
ness place-houscs, shanties, tents, etc, are
springing up ike magic. | understand that
the California Stage Company intend making
il depot for several of their lines of Stages,
ilI are DulluilIH oidOlCN, clC' plOpoec
making trip there the first fine day, and i'll
my next, will give you few items in regard
to its prospects.
As you are aware, there is but little pros
pect Of the election Of a L. s. Senator this
winter. presume that it is about as well.
Mr. Wcller see, has given notice of a
ill to build Pacific Railroad. May sue
cess attend his efforts-as on the construc-
ton Of it does California depend upon be-
coming Il densely populated, commercial and
manufacturing State, with the commerce Of
the world passing through her centre Then
will her broad and fertile valleys TEEN with
waving crops, our mountains upturned, and
the riches Of mountain and valley be gath
cred into the Golfers of her thrifty citizens.
We have had a singular case of manslauch-
ter in our city, quite recently. Two Irish
men got into a fight on the Levee-one
struck the other on the lower jaw, causing a
fracture on both Sides from which resulted
inflammation of the brain, causing his death
three days after The deceased was the az
grcssor.
The Legislature is actively at work-any
number OF notices Of observation-disclosures to
Bills, etc, have been given, and at the pre-
sent time they are actively engaged (the AS
semb!y) in getting a bill through to send an
agent to Washington, to take the war-youch-
ers and get the appropriation of some nine
hundred thousand dollars, made by the Gem
eral Government last winter They have
filed the blank to pay the agency $4,800-
and the contest for the agent is between Mr.
Samuel Smith and the State Treasurer. The
Assembly is in favor of Mr.. Smith and the
Senate may desire to send Mr.. Bates. do
not think the Legislature have the right to
give leave Of absence to any Constitutional
officer. | am afraid that have already tres
passed upon your coIumns-so will close
for the present. y ours, GLENROC.
The Placer herald., 1856-02-09

this number should be added seven gratis
copies, sent to rs many friends of mine at a
distance, out of compliment to their indetat
igable exertons in procuring new subscribers.
This number should be further augmented by
a. permanent exchange list Of sixty ma
king in all constant weekly circulation of
one hundred and thirteen, besides an average
of half dozen surplus copies a week, which
are sent with religious scrupulosity to post
masters and other distinguished individuals
in benightcd parts of the world. I have
good grounds for estimating my readiny pat
ronage at torty-nine persons per copy. You
may safely calculate that the 5537 readers Of
my paper would consume on an average $40
worth per annum, each, of your pills and
ointment, particularly the pills, for | cannot
promise you an extensive sale of your oint-
ment in this region cutaneous diseases being
rare, as may be inferred from the fact that
the foreign born population Of Mississippi is
only one in siXty-two of the aggregate. So
YOU perceive | shall be the means of opening
market to you for $55,37O worth of the in
valuable remedies which have immortal-H lies
ed your name, on which, after deducting the
cost of the materials, boxes, etc, your profit
will be about eighty-fve per cent or $47 ,o64
so. Upon this handsome increase of your
profits, accruing through my instrumentaity,
lpropose to charge the moderate commission
of one per cent, or S473 50. If these terms
do not suit you, come over by the next
steamer, and we'll talk about it. If you are
satisfied with them, for the first quarterly in
stalment of Sll7 66, be SO good as to pay
for me one years subscription to Punch
Dio1eneS and The Times, all of which are
good papers, and should be encouraged, and
send the balance in cuttings of the London
Particular Madeira grape vine Subsequent
installments may be sent at your option, in
Bank of England notes, or any other truck
except your medicines. Give my best re-
spects to Q. Victoria the next time you see
her; tell her she is a lady whom | greatly
esteem and that think with what satistac
ton, while this disastrous war is 50 thinning
the population of her realms, she must reflect
that She at least, has done her duty in the
way of keeping it up.

Thomas Holloway, the great pill and oint-
ment man in London, writes to the Prairie
News on the subject Of Advertising He
says
"DEAR SlR:-A correspondent of yours
has recommended your paper to me as an
advertising medium. He mentioned the cir
culation, but may be mistaken in the amount.
VIII YOU kindly inform me as to the circula-
ton of your weekly, as wish to make a
contract with you for the insertion of my
advertisement am unlimited in my adj
yertlsing; my list of papers is now 1900, and

To which the editor of the News responds:
VERY DEAR sIR:-The circulation of the
Prairie NeecS, which has been increasing
with unexampled rapidity for more than two
years, now amounts to .torty-three, though |
am bound in honor to say that two of nv
subscribers being very precarious pay, | shall
probably cut them off before this letter
reaches You, so that you are at liberty to
consider the list reduced to fortv-one. 70
