THE WEATHER.-We wish it would keep
on raining steadily, instead of showering a
little now and then, with feeble attempts at
pleasant weather between the drops. Such
a state of things is provoking IN more ways
than one; it is provoking to the miner who
is in want of water to run his sluices, and
to the farmer whose farm is suffering for
want of it, and is great annoyance to US,
for we have hardly seated ourselves to in
dite congratulatory article on the glorious
prospects ahead, suggested by the rattling
of the rain drops on the roof above us, when
out streams the sunlight, drying up the rain
drops and our ideas. However, we oughn't
to grumble much, for we have had n pretty
good drenching lately and have reason to
expect many another before the winter is
over.

MURDER IN PLUMAs Co.--The Old
Mountaineer of Dec. 9th, contains the
following:
A murder was committed on the
evening of the 18th ult. in Indian Val.
ley, by Henry Vanorman. 1t appears
that Deith g. Co. had claimed 100 acres
of land, lying in the west end of the
Valley, and Vanorman had attempted
to jump their claim, they having por.
ton of it under cultivation. On the
day above mentioned, Jacob Deitch,
the person murdered, was engaged in
blowing on the disputed territory when
Nanorman come up and ordered him
to dcsist, at the same time turning the
cattle out of the furrow twice or three
times, Detch turning them back which
esasperated Vanorman, who immedi-
ately fired load of shot from double
barrel shot gun, into the person of
Deitch, who fell dead. Hard words
had passed between the parties in the
morning, and rumor says, that the de-
ceased or some friend, had snapped a
rifle or pistol at Vanorman, who imme-
di Itely ran, but returned in the even
ing, and renewed the disturbance. A
reward of $500 has teen offered for
Vanorman, by the brothers of the de-
ceased.

THE SURFACE OF THE MooN.-The
observations made ty Lord Rosse with
his great new telescope, are most in
teresting HIS lordship assures us that
every object on the surface of the
moon one hundred feet high is now dis
tinctly visible, and, under favorable
circumstances, even sixty feet in height.
Rocks and stones innumerable are seen
but no architecture, no building, al
though such structure as Rassett
House, for instance, ought to be dis
linctly visible, far less street, vii
lage or town. Not a vestige Of
green fields or of water appears, al
though even a small reservoir or q not
very large flower plot would be recog-
niz BILE all seem desolate. There is
something awful in such desert soli-
tude.

NUMBER OF SYNAGoGUEs IN CALIFoR-

thatthere are in California the following
number of synagoues, which are all in good
standing. viz in San Francisco, three; ia
Sacramento, two; and in each of Shasta
Stockton, Grass Valley, and Sonora, one ; in
all nine synagogues. Only two of the San
Fransisco synagogues, the Sheriff. Israel
and the Emanuel, are, from their position
capable, at present, of engaging a minister
at such a salary as would warrant the right
to expect competent party In the Eman-
uel, the salary is fixed at $4,000 per annum,
for minister, reader and teacher.

THE ATTACHMENT LAw.-Awakened to
a sense of the injustice of this law, the en-
tire press of the State is making simulta.
neous onslaught against it, and urgently
advocating its revision, or repeal. That it
is most defective, as offering many opportu-
mites for fraud and oppression, is without a
doubt The creditor and debtor are alike
subject to injustice so long as it exists, and
in compliance with the wishes of almost the
whole State, it is to be hoped the next legis-
lature will see fit to remedy the evil. Laws
should be so constructed as to insure equal
rights, instead of Offering equal chances for
fraud and deception.

The Diggtngs.

We took a stroll yesterday among por.
ton Of the mines and miners. Among the
most important and expensive mining oper.
ations in this vicinity, is the one being car
ried on by company, Of which Gen. P. II.
Harris and others are members. Their
claim is situated on Crozier's Hill from which
a ditch or " tail race F" of some three or four
hundred yards is being made for the pur-
pose of gaining fall by which to drain the
claim and run off the tailings. Although
atten led with a very considerable expense,
this manner of putting the blnff claims in a
workable condition is decidedly the most
feasible, and once accomplished, is perma-
nent and reliable The grand embarrass.
ment in way of working the claims Of the
bluff advantageously, is the want Of proper
means for clearing them of their tailings
and waste water. The construction of a
fume or race, sufficiently large to be gen.
eral drain for all the claims, would necessa-
rily be n labor of too great magnitude and
cost, for ordinary individual capital, but we
are led to the belief that should q company
embark in the undertaking, they would
eventually deriye q profitable interest there
from. 9,
BY the means,now in use for washing gold,
large proportion of the finer particles are
lost, which could be secured in properly
constructed race. If we are not greatly at
fault, the gold thus obtained would yield
handsome incom6to the owners of the race.
There is no doubt TINT tailrace from the
bluff to the river will have to be constructed
sooner or later, and the chance, a rare one,
is now open and we hope to see it speedily
taken advantage of.
