LINES,

LINES,
Written on the death Of MRS. Margaret A. Thon
son, ,Uho departed this life on the l5tA of y,l
1856. n
Another loved one has departed,
Another home is wrapped in gloom;
wonder not they are broken hearted.
That tears Of sorrow reach the tomb.
A few short years of Joy and pleasure,
When happy hearts were beating high
Death envied them much loved treasure.
And Margaret dearest, thou must die.
She was beloved by oil that knew her,
Her smiles, her tone were ever dear;
The orphan'd child, the widow'd mother
Will never think but with tear.
she bore her pain with resignation,
She ever strove TO cheer her friends;
But, oh thou fatal termination,
life so good too soon must end
Calm on the bosom Of thy God
Dear Margaret rest thee now,
Even while with us thy footsteps trod
His seal was on thy brow.
Dust TO its narrow home beneath,
Soul to its place on high;
They that have seen thy look in death
No more may fear to diet
A FRIEND.

Mining Correspondence.
LIVE OAK FLAT, Dec. II.

LIVE OAK FLAT, Dec IL.
EDITOR BUTTE RECORD.
Dear Sir There has been quite an
excitement in this vicinity for the last few
days among the miners yoccasioned by Camp
bell and Douglass sinking shaft deeper
down ON their claims, and st, liking another
stratum of pay-dirt at the depth of thirty
one feet, which prospects from s to 25 cents
to the pan; they have got about five feet of
pay dirt; their claim is adjoining Live Oak,
No. 3, on the fiat. The boys adjoining them
have also struck pay dirt at about the same
depth. There is lively times here; all the
old shafts that have been sunk down from
fifteen to twenty feet. and abandoned in con-
sequence of not finding any pay in the up
per stratum, are all reclaimed and they are
sinking them deeper in hopes of finding the
precious ore
The excitement, as soon as It was known
that a new lead had been struck reminded
me of old times the boys running to and
fro with pick and shovel and coat tails
streaming 2.40 in the rear, stalking off
claims. AMERIcUs

ANEcDoTE OF THE LITTLE GIANT 4
BEAUTIFUL INCIDENT-The Chicago Times
describes a meeting of the Democracy Of
Morris, Illinois, which was being addressed
by Hon. Stephen A. Douglass, in a thrilling
manner
heavy shower of rain came on-iiot d
man, woman or child moved-still it raiued,
and there they stood as if immovable Mr..
Douglass paused, and with a burst of feeling
which sent thrill to every heart, exclaim-
ed ''When | see my own fellow citizens,
and the women and children, willing and
continuing to sit through dreriching tor
rent of water from the heavens, to hear me
tell them of the danger of our glorious I'm:
ion, feel new courage to go forth to battle
for our common safety" Even as he spoke,
the cloud passed away and a bright ray of
sunshine fell upon the speaker He paused
again, and raising his hand towards the sun,
exclaimed &c See, my friends, the cloud has
passed away, and Heaven smiles once moro
upon US and our cause Oh the shouts
that rent the air--the effect was electrical
1t was indeed happy omen, and the
clouds that have obscured the glorious sun
of our Union, for time, have been swept
away

FILLING UP.-The Bay of San Francisco
is said to be filling up. Various methods for
methods for remedying the evil have been
suggested, the last one being bulkhead to
be built by private SPECTATORS. In speak
ing of the matter, the San Francisco CORES
pondent of the State Journal says;
"We have not yet examined and digested
the proposition submitted to the supervisors
yesterday, in reference to the construction
of a bulkhead. We shall do so, and con-
denim or approve just as we consider its mer-
its demand, not only in reference to this, but
all others which may be offered, no matter
by whom. The city shall not be bound for
fifty, nor for five years, with our assent and
connivance, TO any man, nor corporation,
nor company, without a sufficient compensa-
ton. The bulkhead project which wins,
must be what the necessities of the harbor
demand, and be proposed and executed upon
principles of justice and good faith towards
the city as well as to those who do the work.
The time has gone by, we hope, when schem-
ers for personal emolument alone, can de-
lude either government people or press"
Butte record., 1856-12-20

HAVING A ScRAPE.-The Cinnamon oeca-
sionally pay visit to the city cemetery,
equipped with the proper implements, and
after exhuming the bodies of their deceased
friends, proceed to remove the flesh from
their bones. preparatory to boxing them up
and forwarding them to China. The super
intendent, who is liberal minded man,
does not feel called upon to forbid this prac-
tice as long as they prefer this manner of
disposing of their dead. What may be the
philosophy of the operation we have not
learned, 1t may be to save the expense of
putting up the bodies in sealed coffins, which
would otherwise be necessary, or perhaps
that their brethren may literally lay their
bones in their native land. Scarcely ship
leaves for China that does not take small
invoice of these relics.-State Journal.
Butte record., 1856-12-20

MELANCHOLY AccIDENr.-The Calaveras
Chronicle gives the following particulars of
the death of Henry Madgley, who, it will be
remembered was spoken of day or two
since as having been killed by an Indian,
near the line of Calaveras and San Joaquin
counties. on Tuesday last;
Madgley, who was intoxicated, saw an
Indian passing by carrying rifle and or
dered him to give up the weapon The In
dian refused on the ground that Madgley
was drunk. High words followed but the
Indian persisted in retaining the rifle
Madgley grappled with the Indian and threw
him down, then seized the rife by the barrel
and aimed blow at the Indian he howev-
er, missed his object, the stock of the rife
broke and the hammer coming in contact
with the ground, the rifle was discharged
and the ball entered Mad.ley's body near
the pit of the stomach He exclaimed, Oh,
Jesus Jesus! and fell to the ground. As
sistance soon arrived, and the unfortunate
young man was conveyed to the house where
he expired in twenty minutes. The above
words were all he said after he was wound

QUARTZ MINING.-Ata a mill near Mari
posa, says the Mariposa Gazette, eighty tons
of quartz have been crushed, taken from a
vein recently opened, although discovered
III 1850. Thirty tons, considered as refuse
rock, paid $lS per ton; and the balance,
fifty tons, yielded S43 per ton. The vein is
favorably situated, and in thickness varies
from eight inches to two feet, so far as has
yet been prospected. Large amounts of
quartz are being taken out at present; much
of it shows gold sufficient to indicate being
rich.
Butte record., 1856-12-20

THE BULKHEAD PRoJECT.-In relation
to this matter the Morning Call says:
There can be no better time than the
present to construct a stone wall along the
line of the city front The break earth,
Gnstead OF breakwater, as our cotempora-
ries call IT'D is of the highest Importance to
the prosperity of the city, and to the value
of real estate in the vicinity of the wharves.
There are hundreds of men now in this
city out of employment, who would be ben
eftted by the work. The city can raise
loan for this purpose without any difficulty.
The improvement will be lasting benefit
to US all; and we cannot see why there need
be any delay in commencing the work. 1t
mus. be done sometime; and what can be
dene to-day should never be put off till to-
morrow"
Butte record., 1856-12-20

AT IT AGAIN.--It will be remembered
that the steamer Orizaba. of the Nicaragua
line, was partially sunk at her wharf some
weeks ago, by some person who, for some
object unexplained opened one of the valves
below the water line, connecting with the
boiler. The steamer Sierra Nevada, of the
same line, was served in the same way du-
ring Thursday night. The object sought to
be obtained by such means, seems quite in
explicable, as vessel could not possibly be
damaged to any considerable extent while
lying at one of our wharves, even were all
the valves Globe.
Butte record., 1856-12-20

LANGToN & Co.--The difficulties that have
surrounded this concern have been settled
satisfactorily to all parties, and their busi-
ness will very speedily be resumed. The
Downievillians had great jollifcation when
it was announced to them that &c Sam was
all O. K. The Sierra Citizen of Saturday
says.
'sWhen it became known that all the
clouds that had for a week past lowered DER
the house of Sam. Langton were dispelled,
the joy of the people of Downicville knew no
bounds In the language of the Revolution
airy patriot, characterizing the birthday of
Freedom, there were guns, bells, games,
sports, bonfres, and illuminations, THE
general joy was contagious, and the rejoic-
ing universal, every man, woman and child
in the place participating. The cannon
pealed out its notes of thunder,-a bonfire
lit up the town from the Plaza,-a torch
light procession of the citizens, paraded the
streets, headed by the Downieville Brass
Band, and the Sierra Guards Military
Band. Cheers for Sam. Langton rent the
welkin. After traveriing the streets, the
procession marched to the residence of Mr.
Langton, who, called out by the cheers OF
the crowd, made his appearance and return
ed his thanks, in neat speech, for this ex-
hi btion of regard on the part of his fellow
citizens. Altogether it was spontaneous
tribute to private enterprise and worth
which the most distinguished of public rner
might have envied" :"
Butte record., 1856-12-20

kENNovAN THE PEDEsTRIAN.--This
walking wonder has again completed his
selfimposed task of walking one hundred
and six consecutive hours. The San Fran
cisco Chronicle of Monday says:
&c Last night at twelve o'clock, Kennovan,
the pedestrian, was taken from the plank
where he had been walking steadily since
last Wednesday afternoon at two o'clock
This is the second time that he has accom-
plished the feat of waking for one hundred
and six hours consecutively. with the excep-
ton of two minutes in every twenty four
hours. His powers of endurance are eer=
tainly wonderful"
Butte record., 1856-12-20

THE BODIES OF WARD AND DAVIS REcov-
ERED.-Mr. VIM. Boyce, of Texas Hill, called
upon us yesterday, and informed US that the
bodies of VIM. Ward and Tho's Davis, buried
in tunnel at Mississippi Bar-the particu-
lars Of which we have already noticed-had
been recovered The catastrophe, as will be
remembered, happened on Wednesday, Dec
10th, at o'clock in the afternoon The
bodies were not recovered until about
o'clock ON Saturday afternoon-three days
and three hours after. Wards body was
much bruised, and he was probably killed
without much suffering. The body of Mr..
Davis was found in the back part of the tun-
mel. leaning against the excavation, in an
upright position. His body was entirely
free from bruises, and there can be but little
doubt his death was produced by strangula-
ton. Mr. Ward was not an Irishman, as we
were first informed, but native of Stock
bridge, Mass. Mr.. sDavis was a Welchman.
Mr.. Boyce, Of Texas Hill the owner of the
claim-will furnish to the friends of the de-
ceased such information respecting them as
may be desired.-Sac. Union
Butte record., 1856-12-20

OPPosITIoN.-We understand, says ths
Sacramento City Item, that the keels of four
river steamers have been laid at San Faau.
cisco, and all of which are intended by their
different owners to run in opposition to the
California Steam Navigation Co. The larg-
est is being built by Capt. Weeks, of Red
Bluffs, and is designed to run from the Bay
City to Clear Creek, distance of about for
ty miles above the highest landing point for
steamers at present running. At this point
it is intended to locate new town, and as a
matter of course, the property owners at
Red Bluffs, look with jealous eye upon
their new rival. The three other steamers
are of a small size, and will be run as policy
may dictate.
Butte record., 1856-12-20

RrcE.-Itis highly probable that this COM
modify will eventually become one of the
staple products Of California. We learn
from the San Joaquin Republican that
Mr.. Drew is now surveying a tract of tule
land in that county, embracing some thirty
five thousand acres, for a company in San
Francisco, who have entered it under an Act
providing for the sale of the swamp and
overfowed lands belonging to this State
Another company, likewise, is being formed
in Stockton. for the purpose of locating q
tract of overfowed land within few miles
of that city. Both of these companies in
tend to commence the culture of rice, and it
is highly probable that they will introduce
laborers from the rice fields of China at an
early day.
