Eloquent.

The Warren Republican gives the world the
following extract from the peroration of a
Willamsport lawyer, in a recent will case:'
ooh gentlemen, don't find a verdict against
these Plaintiffs, but decide this case in such a
way that your children will be proud of you,
that you may look back in after life to this
day with satisfaction, and when the shades of
night are gathering around you, when the film
of death is sealing up your lids, when your
fIail mortal bodies are burning with fever
when you pass from time to Eternity then
the little Angel Murphys will hover around
you, and seat you on a cool cloud, and thence
convey you to the realms of Eternal Bliss, and
on the way gently fan you with their ambro-
sial wings where all tears will be wiped from
your eyes, and you will never repent Of giving
such a verdict"
Suffice it to say that the jury under the ex-
pectation of having all the fond hopes realized
found verdict for the Murphys.

A HAPPY CoNCLUsION.-The San Francisco
Golden Era, in refusing to commence manu-
script story until the whole of it had been re-
ceived, gets off the following illustration of the
danger Of doing so:
Some years ago Cincinnati paper received
and printed the first chapter ofwhat promised
to be most thrilling romance, in the expecta-
ton of being provided with the concluding
portions as might be needed. The chapter
was very ingeniously written, and concluded
by leaving the principal character suspended
by the pantalOons from the limb of tree over
a perpendicular precipice. 1t attracted the
attention of the press, and inquiries began to
be made concerning the continuation of the
story and the fate of its hero. Day after day
the victimized publishers looked for the re-
chapters, but in vain they never
came to hand Finding that they had been
sold, and wishing to put stop to the jokes
their cotemporaries were cracking at their ex-
pense, they briefly concluded the story thus:
CHAPTER II-C ONCLUsIoN
"After hanging to the treacherous tree for
four weeks, his pantaloons gave way, and
Charles Melville rolled headlong over the
yawning precipice. He fell distance of five
miles and came down with the small of his
buck across stake-and dered fence, which
50 Jared him that he was compelled 10 travel
in Italy for his health, where he is at present
residing. He is engaged in the butcherng
business and Is the father Of large family ofi
children"

Trinity River Mines.

There is no portion of the mines of Trinity
which has been more neglected or overlooked
than the mines on Trinity River. The fret mining
in this county, and in fact the first mining done
in the Northern portion of the State was done at
Redding's Bar in l849 and since that time it has
always been characterized as a good mining To-
cality and stream--the harvest field for n LARGE
portion of our mining population during the dry
season in the other mines.
We experienced a very pleasant astonishmcnt
in our recent visit down the River, to behold
such extensive operations. 1t was formerly be-
lieved that the mines and arferous deposits were
mainly confined to the low bars and flats on the
River, and that the richest claims were really in
the bed OF the str, am ; but since the recent dis
covrrles of r ch bank diggings n brighter era has
opened, and more correct notions prevail
Inc err locus system pursued in mining has
often caused the most valuable claims to lie de-
serted. 1t requires much labor and even capital
to open properly the generality of claims on the
Trinity. They have but very lately commenced
drifting in the bank claims, and so far those who
have engaged IN this system of mining have all
or nearly all, met with success. One of the great
secrets Of succrss in mining is to be found after al
in the mode ard manner in which mining is prose-
cutCd. Where science, system and the necessary
means s lacking, mining in nine cases out of ten
proves failure. This is clearly defnonstrat d
by the fact that claims in many instances are now
being work, over for the third and fourth time
and with more profit to the operators. than when
they were first opened.
Another season. will bring about many rich
developments on Old Trinity which will not fail
to stimulate the working man with the right spirit
to succeed.
