Washoe Valley.

The above named Valley, some sixty miles
from this place, and only few miles from
Lake Biger, is now being settled by the
Mormons. We are informed by Mr.. Young,
the county Surveyor, that some three hun
dred families have already taken lots and
commenced building. 1t is the intention of
Mr.. Young to start in few days on the
survey of a wagon road from the Forks
House to the Valley and quite number of
our citizens will accompany him; the latter
for the purpose of making pleasure trip,
We wish them a pleasant journey, and trust
they may return to their mountain home
well pleased with their trip.
We understand that several mills are in
progress of erection, and that a spirit of pro-
gresss GEMS to prevail among the new settlers
Should the contemplated road be ever com
pleted, it will place us in immediate connec-
ton with lake Bigler, and will doubtless
greatly add to the general business affairs of
Placer county IoWa Hill Neacs.

H1eHLY MORAL AND VERY INSTRUCTIVE
We clip the following from the police re-
ports of the True Californian.
A FAMILY Whisky is no respec-
tor of persons or sexes. 1t flies into the head
and fills it with strange fancies and crude
ideas. 1t acts on the passions differently in
different men, and even upon the same man
at different stages. At times, he is brilliant,
witty and good natured; then lascivious and
loving, then excitable and quarresome, and,
"last scene Of ALL" sleepy, sick and stupid
Mr. and Mrs. Barry who keep saloon on
Sansome street, trade being slack, and the
price Of Bohea high, sat down to nice jo-
rum of Punch together yesterday afternoon.
At first, John praised the punch and cracked
vulgar jokes, then praised the color Of his
wifes eyes and her personal charms, in the
height of his admiration, inhicting amorous
kisses and squeezes; anon, he grew noisy and
quarrelsome and wound up by driving Mrs.
B., out Of doors and hurting the punch bowl
after her, and smashing things generally. For
all these offences "against the peace and dig
nifty of the people of the State" in general,
and Mrs. B. in particular, he was arrested
and locked up, to sleep off the effect of his too
deep potations. We trust he'll wake up a
wiser and better man."
The Placer herald., 1856-07-26
The Mines.

We regret to learn that mining operations
in this vicinity, are being generally suspen-
ded, in consequence of the early failure Of
water, and that the sale of gold dust this
week is less than it has been during any
week for year previous
The News advocates the digging of large
Canal, sufficiently so, to supply abundant
water for mining purposes.
We are pleased to be able to state that
the San Francisco and Stockton Company
have been reaping good harvest during the
past week. They are just opening their claim
and with two days washing have realized
thirty five ounces of gold. They are fearful
however that they will soon have to suspsnd
operations, as the water is rapidly decreas-
ing.
The Small Hope Company at Brushy Cam
on, we learn are still washing out the golden
treasure at the rate of two hundred and fifty
dollars to the hand weekly

A HARD CAsE.-We think that when

A HARD CAsE.-We think that when a
couple marry, they should be PERMITTED to
live together. But some other people don't
think so. We are in possession of the facts of
a case that transpired not a thousand miles
from this city, recently, which strike US as be-
ing rather hard upon both parties. The facts,
in nut shell are about these: The young
man loved the gir-the girl loved the man,
and they struck up match. The father OBJ
iected-the mother told EN- to "go in."-
The girl struggled-the mother consoled,
the father loaded double barreled shot gun
and warned the young man from the dig
gngs" The mother told him to "come IN
and win"
Thus matters stood for some days, until
arrangements perfected by the mother and
daughter, when the young man escaped with
the ''gal" and married her. The father per-
sued; secured his daughter ten minutes after
the ceremony-took her home and locked
her up; finding the opposition was becoming
too strong for him, he sent her off some dis
tance in the mountains. The mother. true
(God bless herD to the last, got an inkling of
her whereabouts, gave her young son-in-law
the hint, and rejoiced. Neither the husband
nor wife were seen for week, at the end Of
which time the former ventured beneath the
roof of the enraged "parient." He still per-
sisted in his course-swore his daughter
should be the wife of some one else,and again
ordered him to leave.
The mother chuckled-the young man
looked serious, and informed the father that
he had been living with his daughter for a
week-that both we're prefectly satisfied with
the little arrangement, and were willing to
keep it up" The father "smelt mice" at
once-he knew his plan had been frustrated,
gave consent-sent for his daughter-and
with the old woman rejoiced- The affair end
ed we'll, but for short time it was rather
hard on the young couple-wasn' it!
