Upon the pages of book

IT would make them dull | told her so.
She was not learned, but she to me
Was Natures sweetest poetry.
Those golden curls, | see them now
Sweep like sunbeam on her brow.
No great thoughts puzzled that bright he ad
They made ii ache, so Nellie said.
She was not wise, but OH her eye
Melted with gentest sympathy
When clouds lay heavy on my way,
Bright Nellie chased them all away.
Sweet, simple child she did not know
What in her heart made sunshine SO.
She was not learned, but oh her face
Has such pure, loving grace,
The angels loved it, and they bore
Our Nellie to a brighter shore.
! saw the laughing lips grow still;
Sweet Nellie sleeps beneath the hill.

The Mountain Messenger.

The above sheet has some very severe remarks
on Mr.. G. E. Meredith and Estelle Potter for at
tempting to obtain possession of little girl of
some six years Of age by the name of Flora, adop-
ted by Mr.. and Mrs. Potter, some time ago. Mr.
Meredith was employed by Mrs. Potter to obtain
the child from Mr. Potter and bring it to Weaver
vile, where she was then residing, and for that
purpose placed in the hands of Mr.. Meredith a
Power of Attorney and an affidavit Of the fact
that the child had been taken from an Asylum in
Philadelphia, and subsequently Mrs p; had been
appointed by competent court the guardian of
the child, and that she had taken charge of the
child, &c. Mrs. Potter is the legal guardian of
Flora, and Mr.. Meredith had right to obtain the
child for the woman if he could, without being
amenable to the censure of the Messenger Mr..
Meredith publishes card in our advertising col
umns, to which we call attention.

In our last weeks issue we gave an account Of
the assault on Charley Shsffer, on the 4th inst. by
" Commodore" at Big Bar his arrest escape, and
the reward offered by Under Sheriff Messec,
Commodore had received shot from the pistol
of Charley the ball passing in ct the right side,
penetrating the lower portion of the right lung,
and lodging in the breast bone, which rendered
him unable to be removed to the County Jail
On the night of the Sth inst. Nj Messec placed
the prisoner in charge of Dennis Maloy in room
ct the house of Mr.. MURPHY, on Big Flat and to
make everything secure, took Commodere's clo-
thing into an adjoining room. During the night
the prisoner induced the guard to get his clothes
and tGSe o walk with him, which he did. Upon
returning, and just as Commodore was entering
the room, the guard stepped to the bar to drink
with friend who had invited him. At this time
the prisoner made his escape, ran down to the riv
er, where he was assisted across by friend and
made his way up the mountain about half mile
and concealed himself in the bush until the llth,
during which time he was provided for by his
friends. Mr.. Messec upon learning that he had es-
capped took the precaution to have all the trails,
passes, &c. leading from the river guarded by
trusty men, and offered reward Of two hundred
dollars for his arrest and two hundred dollars for
information that would lead to the detection of
those who aided him to escape. Commodore's
friends finding that it was impossible to elude the
indomitable energy of Mr.. Messec, concluded on
the Ilth inst. to inform Messrs Moore and Evans,
two of the guards, where the prisoner was secre-
ted, and he was accordingly re-taken and deliver
ed to Mr.. Messec, and by him lodged in Jail on the
18th inst to await his trial in the Court of SEES
sions, on the first of next month.
Mr.. Messec deserves great credit for the energy
with which he pursued the prisoner, and Trinity
County may well be proud of her Sheriff and his
under officers, for the prompt manner in which
they perform all their official duties

Taylor's Flat Cave.

We have had the pleasure % Of thoroughly ex-
aminng this curiosity Our friend Hazeltine, of
the Washington Flume, kindly volunteered to
show us the sights contained within the bowels of
Mother Earth in this vicinity. The entrance to
the cave is sromantically situated in the face of a
cliff of rocks, on the side ofa steep hill. Soon af-
ter entering, it becomes necessary to creep thro'
a smaller hole than is at all consistent with per-
sonal comfort or elegant positions, but by tight
squeezing We got through it, and spent a couple
Of hours examining the different chambers some
of which were very fine, but the numerous visitors
have, however broken off SO many of the hanging
stalactites that their beauty has been greatly
marred. No one who visits that section should
leave before visiting the cave.

The Washington Fluming Company

At French Creek are extending their Flume up

We believe this Flume will very soon become one

range of good diggings commanded by it will E.
ventualy be worked.
The Company have very good Saw Mill at the
head dam, They raft their lumber down the
hume, thus enabling miners to have it delivered
at their claims. Upon our recent visit to their
works, after pleasant day trottng in the Creek,
we had fine sail down the Flume In many pla-
ces the fume is built around cliffs of rocks hang
ing perpendicularly over the river at least two
hundred feet high, making q ride Of this kind
