The ease of the unnat-

THE BALpwINs.-The case OF the unnat-
ural parents, says the .fitd Of the 10Th, Hen
ry and Mary Baldwin, who, it will be re-
membered, attempted to kill their child by
placing it in an clubhouse exposed to the in
clemency of the weather, without food, COW
ering, or any kind of comfort, and leaving
it there to die, were tried and convicted on
Wednesday in the Superior Court The ev-
idenee against them was conclusive. Even
had they not designed to destroy the life of
the child, their inhuman conduct, in expo
sing the little sufferer as they did, merits
the EXTREMIST penalties awarded by the law
of the land for an attempt to commit muir
der Pending the trial, the child was bro't
into Court, and the unnatural mother at
tempted to create a sympathy by an atfecta-
ton of feeling but failed. The child, who
had been under careful and tender treatment
since the arrest Of the parents, has improved
in health. 1t is pretty and intelligent in ap-
pearance. 1t appears the Baldwins have an
elder child, whom they treat with ordinary
attention and tenderness.

CoNsIsrENcY.-A writer in the Bulletin

Senator, because he, the aspirant, when he
was yet in his teens, was proprietor of a
drinking saloon in New York City. At the

ing a young man upon his own re-
sources to ascertain his qualities.
Now that the Navigation Company
have abandoned the idea of navigat-
ing the river to this point, Orovllle
has gone to work to help herself, and
if we are not much mistaken they
will accomplish their purpose, and

their goods, and carry their produc-
tons to market.

New LoCoMoTIvE..-An Italian journal
states that carpenter has discovered new
method of constructing locomotive engine,
which may be set in motion without the aid
of steam, human labor, or fuel. Its daily
cost is limited to the value of the grease re-
quirG to diminish friction, and its use is
free from any danger whatever. The in
ventor, Giochino Papa, living at Arescia,
proposes to dispose of his secret. The en-
CINE will cost 90, 900 francs, if of one horse
power, and 10000 francs for every addition
al 100 horse power.

Topics of the Day.

ter expending money sufficient to
remove the snags from the river for
the distance of fifteen miles above
its confluence with the Yuba, have
arrived at the conclusion that it would
not pay to run boat to Oroville at
present. We are at loss to account
for the reasons which induced them
to arrive at this conclusion, particu-
larly after demonsorating that the
stream was navigablc for fifteen miles,
and also knowing that in 1851, a
steamer had been up as far as Ham,
ilton, distance of some eight or ten
miles farther than the company's boat
had progressed. Was it because the
river could not be rendered navigable
above the point reached by their snag
boats? Those who are acquainted
with the river say not. Was it be-
cause there was not sufficient sum
of money subscribed in Oroville, to-
wards clearing out the River? Dou-
bic the amount subscribed might have
been raised, and it might have been
trebled on the appearance of the boat.
We candidly tell those who are
disposed to joke about this matter,
tnat there is not another inland point
in the State so much in need of an
outlet as Oroville. There is not an
other point in California, with the
remotest possibility of being reached
by a Boat, that would confer so many
advantages upon the State, as Oro-
vile. The Sacramento papers lately
complained that although frequent
discoveries of coal were reported
throughout the State, none of it was
ever found in the market. Let Sac
ramento use her influence to render
the river navigable to this point, and
we will soon supply the State Capitol
with California Coal. 1t is here at
our doors, and sparkles in our CRATES,
and with the proper means of trans
portation, can be delivered in Sacra-
mento, Benicia, and San Francisco,
as cheap as coal from any other Sec
tion. 1t is impossible to throw it into
market by teams. Were there boats
runniNg to Oroville, the Coal from
Table Mountain could be thrown into
market so as to be of benefit to the
entire State. Our Lime and Marble
Quarries could be made to yield their
products for the benefit Of the inhabi-
tants of the State; and our Mills in
this vicinity can cut lumber for twelve
and fifteen dollars per thousand. Is
it possible that the Navigation Com
paDy ,have only considered the amount
of -four and potatoes that our popu-
lation would consume, when they de-
cided that the inducement was not
sufficient, to pay for clearing the
river of few snags, and deepening
the water over one or two bars? Butte
county does not thus readily abandon
an undertaking that promises to con-
fer vast benefits not only upon herself
but also upon the State at large. Let
not those who imagine they hold the
river in the palms of their hands, be
too sure that boat will never reach
Oroville. A project that will confer
so great benefit upon the people of
the State, should not be abandoned
so easy.
We learn, incidentally, that the
President of the Coal Company has
been below for some time for the
