A Bright Streak of Gratitude.

The following letter appeared some months since,

of DIR. Young. we copy il complimentary
tribute TO one Of the mos, skilfnl physicians that
ever made this state his residence as twas entirely
unsolicited and made public without the knowledge
of any one except the writer, it speaks volumes.

To MY AFFLICTED FELLOW MES.-- Being about to

igan. wish before leaving to recomcnd to your
notice that great benefaetor, Dr. J. c. YOUNG
on the very brink Of the grave when be stretch
ed forth his hand and saved me from DEATH For
several years had been troubled with n eomplica-
tiou OF diseases, brought by bad habits Of self
pollution IN my youth, and vicious actions in my
more mature life, aggravated by exposure in the
mines, which had so weakened my system and un-
dermined my constitution, that have often CON
templated suicide. Borne down by rackng pains
in my body, dizziness in my head, sore eyes pains
aud misery in my back aud hips, weariness In my
legs, evil iorebodings, together with confirmed
melancholy was ashamed to look my neighbors

the following in support Of his assertion
When Col. Henley last visited the Reserva-
finn Weimar told him that his countrymen
were new made very comfortable, but he
wanted TO know when the China Indians
were going to be colonized, for they needed
the care Of the "palc faces" more than did
the red man. The Indians are allowed to
roam ab hJitum over the Reservation, and
many of them have become very expert in
capturing and shooting game, and IN catch
ing fish,
Mr.. Benton has exhibited to us several OF
the warlike implements of the various tribes
among them an ovalshaped, sharp-edged flint
which is used as an eating knife in peace,
and scalpel in war; also the brace bone OF an
elk's leg, smoothly rounded, and as sharp as
needle at the point. This weapon our IN
formant seized from a refractory Indian.
Their favorite instrument for capturing
deer consists of coil of strong rope, manu-
featured out Of wild flax, and twisted with
the hand They surround the clump OF
chapparel in which the deer is known to be,
with this rope, in which is a moose, that is
sure to trip and throw them in their efforts to
escape from their hiding place. The rope in
the possession of our informant is beautl-
fuI specimen of mechanical ingenuity of the
sons of the forest, and Of sufficient strength
TO securely fasten an OK. Last, but not
least, Of this cabinet of curiosities, is Lane
of raven blackness pluckcd from snture
killed in the coast range of mountains This
feather is over two feet long and the quill
barrel measured an inch in circumference.
The bird from which it was taken yielded
himself reluctantly to his captor, although
pierced to the heart by the unerring bullet of
the sportsman Union

The Rains and the Prospect.

March stepped out and April stepped il
with heavy rains. The country has scarcely
eyeTbeen blessed with fin showers than oc
Cured during three or four days in success
sion. The heart of the miner was made
glad, and all sorts and conditions of people
reloiced with him. Long, long, had the
seeker after golden treasures waited until
hope deferred had almost made the heart
sick; and long had the merchant waited for
the water to come and wash out divers and
sundry grub scores, that stared him grim
ly and unsettled in the face as often as he
opened the lids of his ledger Every man,
woman and child deplored the prospect be-
fore them and doleful mutterings about
famine, suffering and starvation were distinct
ly audible. Direful forebodirgs were the or
der of the day, and a general impression pre-
vailed that California was ''gone in" for the
season.
The joy that was occasioned by the rains
could not be pictured upon paper. The mi
ner exhibited his satisfaction by shouldering
his pick and shovel and betaking himself in
dustriously to his claim--ce certainly the most
practical thanksgiving he could offer on such
an occasion. The merchants physiognomy
underwent a remarkable change; and even
the voices of children in the streets rang
clearer, sgeeter and more joyful. AS is an
oasis in the desert to the famshed and worn
out Traveller, so were the late rains to the
people of California.
The advantage of these rains is beyond |
calculation The amount of gold that viii
be obtained in consequence will give new life
to everything. 1t is true that not an abun-
dance of rain has as yet fallcn--enough for
the present, but not sufficient to last any /
great length Of time. In localities watered |
by bitches of sufficient capacity leading from
the larger streams Of the mountains, there
will be no scarcity throughout the season;
but where natural water and wet-wcather |
bitches are depended upon, the diggngs will
soon dry up for all the rain that has yet
fallen. How apparent, may here be men,
toned, the necessity for following up the
system of bitches projected and commenced
in this region of country. They are the
only permanent dependence, and it is the in
terest and duty Of all classes of citizens to
encourage their construction.
That the rains are over for the season is |
by no means probable. Statistics of wealth |
ther in California exhibit the fact that the
heaviest rains are quite as likely to fall in
April as in any other month of the year; and |
May is frequently wet month. Taking
everything into consideration, "the skies are
bright and frightening"

in the transaction of business having indirect

Benton, formely a resident OF this city, but
who has for the last eighteen months been
residing on the Indian Reservation in Colusa
county, places us in possession OF late and IN
teresting intelligence from that quarter.
There are at present upwards OF two thou-
sand Indians on the Reservation, collected
from every section of the Northern country.
Mr.. Stevenson, of III Dorado, who went up
some two weeks ago, has now the superlnten-
dence of them and under his supervision
their condition is rendered comfortable, and
they appear to bc eontented as well as indus
trious. Included in the Reservation lands are
some twenty-five thousand acres, and as there
are no settlers within the distance OF eight
miles, no complaints are heard OF Intrusion
on private claims.
The Indians have been busy employed
during the past few months in getting III their
seed, and have now about one thousand acres
of wheat sown, besides other grain and veg
etables Comfortable buts have been built
by the working diggers, but the chiefs and
upper ten aborigines are living in nice
abode houses. King Weimar seems to be

THE SrANIsLAus TRAGEDY the fatal

James Dckerson, of Dckersons Ferry,

words in relation to suit for land which had
just been decided in favor of Dickerson and

through the lower part OF his body Ander
son, in return, fired twice at Summers, one
ball breaking his right arm near the shoulder
and the ohtr penetrating his skull, from tho
effect of which he died almost instantly. A
man named Kinkad and Deputy Sheriff Clarl
