There is nothing so distant from all natural

Mining News from Southern Oregon.

JACKSON CREEK.-The miners on jackson
creek and vicinity are doing well, many of
them taking out from two to three ounces a
day to the hand Those who have sunk
shafts and drfted on the bed rock, as gem
eral thing find gold in considerable quanti-
ties.
STEmING.-Where water can be had to
wash with, at Sterling, the miners are doing
very we'll Many are drifting and stacking
up the dirt until the water comes. AS soon
as it rams, gold will be washed out in great
abundance at Sterling.
We have conversed with some of the re-
turned party who have been down Rogue
River aud in the vicinity of the coast, they
report that on Gaice Greek the miners are
doing well, perhaps better than at any for
mer period since the mines have been worked
OIL that creek.
WHBKEY CREEK.-We understand is all
claimed also the gulches making into the
creek but our informant could not say
how well they were doing, but from the ex-
tent of the claims, the natural inference
would be that it payed well.
JOIN MULE CREEK-The gold is coarse,
and those having experience say that the
prospects are good, yet the prospecting party
only prospected near the surface and but
Temporarily.
MEADows.-Gold was found and justifes
the party in saying that in some places it will
pay ten dollars a day to the hand-general-
ly found on the bars in the river, the gold
teavy-and Of the best quality.
IIIMOIs-At the mouth of Illinois river
is but slightly prospected. A few miles up
the river the miners are doing well when
they can work. Many good claims are lay

CATCHING THE IDEA-A parson in coun-
try village in England, by reading the first
line or so of chapter in the Bible. the
clerk, who was not over erudte, by some
mistake or other, read it after him. The
parson read as follows:
Moses was an austere man, and made
atonement for the sins of his people"
The clerk, who could not exactly catch
the sentence, reported thus
Moses was an Oysterman, and made

A Girl Murdered by her Lover.

A most horrible and cold -blooded mur-
der was committed recently in Mexican
township. about nineteen miles from Erie,
N. Y. The victim was young girl, named
Calista Cornelia Allen, aged about sixteen.
The murderer was man of about thrtv-ive
Walter Hyat-who lived in the same
neighborhood. Hyatt had for some time en-
tertained passion for Miss Allen, and had
made propositions of marriage to her and
alleges that she had promised to marry
him that they had several times agreed
upon day for the consumntion of their
union, but that she had in each case post
poned it till another and that the very day
on which he committed the horrible deed had
been appointed, by previous arrangement,
as their wedding day On the other hand,
her family state that she had never been
engaged to him, and had no intention Of
marrying him, but had always considered
and treated his attentions as persecution.
There is little doubt that this is the fact
and both his age and unseemly appearance
seem to confirm it. Hyatt had premeditated
the deed for several days and debated with
himself for some time whether to kill the
girl or himself, but finally settled down on
her destruction, provided she again refused.
He provided himself with Colts revolver
and went to Mr. Aliens house. He found
the youthful and innocent object of his pas
sion alone, though her mother was in the
house. and pressed his proposition of mar
rage She again refused, and told him that
she would not marry him, nor did she wish
any further attentions from him. She was
sitting in chair and he instantly drew his
revolver and shot her through the head
She fell upon the floor, but there appearing
to be still signs of life, he raised her up. and,
laying her on a sofa, shot her second time
through the head. Her mother appeared
at the door and raised the cry of murder.
The wretch turned upon her. and as she ran
fired at her twice, but neither of the shots
took effect. He then attempted to escape
but, on seeing persons following him, he
stopped and gave himself up. He seems in
different concerning the crime. He is tall
lank, green, silly looking fellow owns q
farm aud is we'll to do in the world. He ex
