How softly falls DER hill and plain
The mellow light of parting dayl
The sweet south wind comes back again,
And fancy steals my soul away
Away to lands where Mary dwells,
And gives to innocence her dreams;
Away to climes where romance tells
The tales of love by moonlight beams.
hear her voice upon the air
The gentle words she spake to me,
When light of heart and free from care,
Our thoughts were breathed but to agree
see her smiling face beneath
The tree where sprang our early love;
Upon my cheek l feel her breath,
And see her eyes like stars above
0 memory! on thy holy shrine
Remain the offerings boyhood cast
The future, where my steps incline
May have no charms like many past
For manhood's cares lesson teach,
Of sterner thoughts and wider things
Our fieeting days have tongues that preach
In tones which bold experience brings.
Iet we forget how much is due
~ iCooheCtiOHs tWlugnt zone,
Where first the struggling reason grew
To better shape and sweeter tone
The half-forgotten charms US yet,
Like the faint echo in a vale,
And the warm friendships we have met,
May haunt us like fairy tale.
ADENDA-BY "MUGGNs JUNIOR" At the Ball.
She walks in beauty, like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all that's best of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes
Thus mellowd to that tender light
Which heaven to gaudy day denies.
One shade the more one ray the less,
Had half impair'd the nameless grace
Which waves in every raven tress,
Or softly lightens DER her face;
Where thoughts serenely sweet express
How pure, how dear their dwelling-place.
And on that cheek, and DER that brow,
80 soft, so calm, yet eloquent,
The smiles that win, the tints that glow,
But tell of days in goodness spent,
mind at peace with all below,
heart whose love is innocent

ARREST OF A SUPPOSED HORSE THIEF.
We mentioned a few days since the
arrest OF man named Daniel Miller at
Marysvllle, on suspicion of horse stealing,
and his subsequent arrival at the Station
House in this city. At the time of his
arrest, his partner effected his escape ON a
bay mare Officer Harrison arrested the
latter about six o'clock on Tuesday eve
ming, at the stable corner of 4th and X
streets, where he was in possession of a
fine dark bay mare, branded with spade
Or shovel on the right hip. Her left fore
leg, from the foot to about halfway to the
knee, is of blue roam color-a distinctive
mark on the animal. The prisoner, whose
name is Major S. Vroman, ESQ called by
Miller,) alias Baker, alias Reynolds, is
spare man, about feet inches in hight,
has dark hair and dark eyes, is about 26
or % years of age, and his nose crooks
from left to right. When arrested, he
acknowledged that he was intimately ac-
qnalnted with Miller-had known him
some four or five years, and had seen him
last about ten days previously, (about the
time NJ. was arrested) but denied that he
knew he had been arrested. On being
searched at the Station House, there were
found upon his person, between a white
shirt and under shirt, two black satin vests
nearly new. Immediately on the discov-
cry Of the vests, he broke from the officers,
and attempted to escape, but was overhauled
and obliged to submit to further examination
of his apparel In his pockets were found
the account of the arrest of Miller, clip
ped from the Union, piece of paper on
which was written "Wagner's Ranch"
preceded apparently by figure 2; and
clippings from different papers relative to
Tom Bell and his gang, including the ct
ters Of the former recently published. =
He says he traded for the mare with
stranger, whom he met about Is or 20
miles from Stockton, on the road to Mari
poso. 1t is possible that the memorandum
relative to Wagner's Ranch refers to
horses which he may have left there. An
extract from the Stockton Republican,
published by us yesterday, states that sew
eral horses had been left at that ranch by
man answering the description of Tom
Bell, and it is supposed that the prisoner
may have been one of Bells gang. His
efforts to escape on the officers discovering
the satin vests would seem to indicate that
there is some circumstances connected with
them, the developments of which he breads.
His denial of all knowledge of the arrest
of Miller, and the finding of the para
graph giving an account of the arrest upon
his person, is another suspicious circum-
stance, in connection with his admitted
intimacy with Miller.-,Sac Union.

Customers can have their produce DELIVERED
to any point they may designate, from Mokel-

Thus Farmers can store their grain in their

No smoking or camp fires will be allowed
about the premises.
No business of any nature will be attended

Under no pretext whatever, will children be
allowed about the Mills, unless accompanied by

THE REPUTATION of the Stanislaus Mills
