STABBED BY AN ILLINOIS LArf.-The

mar, whose husband is in Illinois, is stopping
at present with her brother, Mr. Neff, near
Buffalo. Mrs Neff and her daughter Emily
were engaged in some household work, when

Mining Items and Reflections.

MR.. EDITOR There appears to be little lncredu>
lity in the outer world, about the richness of the
mines in this vicinity. Many visit us and go away
without any satisfactory proof that this Is indeed the
0phir of antiquity There is a kind OF apathy in
strangers to pitch in and prospect, and thus many
leave us unsatisfied, who, did they only follow the
example OF the old inhabitants of the place, would
not only do justice TO Oroville but also enrich them
selves. In proof of this there is not one single mining
operation upon the immense fiat between oroville and
Lynchburgh Pike Hill, Carpenters Flat, or Robin
sons Hill, which has been properly conducted, which
has only paid wages after the style of '49 80,
but has, of our own knowledge enabled many to re-
turn to the home of their childhood, husbands to
their wives, fathers to their children, and lovers to
the arms of the dear ones at home. But few facts
will serve better to satisfy the incredulous; The
claim owned by Messrs. Boulliod, Cauchet & Co, of
the French Hotel, four in all, has to certain
knowledge, produced during the last week, the neat
sum of $1,000, and that with only man at the
suice Their claim is situated near the Cemetry, and
has been paying in this Manner for some time They
have still more dirt thrown out than they can wash in
two weeks and have men constantly at work to keep
up the same stream through their suice There
undoubtedly many more doing as WELL of whom
hear nothing. Indeed. should have remained ig-
and that we have the pleasure of being considered
intimate friend. Let no one then remain idle There
is sroom for ALL Should this interest your readers, we
promise you few interesting items from Morrison

NEVADA FIRE.-The most eart-rendinp
calamity Of the present season for conia
grations, is the destruction of Nevads
and the loss of some ten or twelve lives by
fire. This melancholy announcement has
carried a pang to the great heart of the
State, that will cause it to throb in sympa-
thy with the afflicted friends and relatives of
the deceased. The pecuniary loss of itself
is nothing in comparison. The indomitable
energy and perseverance heretofore exhibit
ed by the people of California, would soon
rebuild the fourishing town of Nevada; but
who shall replace the familiar faces of those
who lost their lives in attempting to stay
the devouring clement
Marysville, Placerville, Georgetown and
Nevada, have been visited by fire within the
present month. The three latter places
have been almost entirely destroyed. Oro-
vile, with all its life, and business and bus
tie, would be p but half an hours sport for
the devouring element when once kindled
amongst our light frame buildings. Our
citizens cannot be too watchful in their en-
deavors to guard against fire. Let the Po
lice be watchful-and let US all act as
police, and guard our town from the fate of
Placerville and Nevada.
We understand that meeting was held on
Monday evening for the purpose of taking
the initiatory steps for the formation of
fire company. We have not been furnished
with the proceedings of the occasion. But
in the absence of a supply of water, fire
company with an excellent engine, would be
of but little service. In our present condi
ton, we cannot put out a fret must not
start! Our safety is in great care and
watchfulness We do not wish to discourage
any effort of our citizens to form fire depart
ment, but to warn them to guard against
the origin of fire. Before the approach of
another dry season we can have plenty of
reservoirs and an effective fire department.
during the present dry season, until the
windows of Heaven are again opened, the
utmost care and watchfu lness is necessary.

spectabe ana appreciatve audience, anxious to hear
the history and prospects of Nicaragua set forth by
one Of the most distinguished citizens of that repub
lie, Col. Ell. G. Kewen. number of ladies graced
the hall with their presence.
Col. Kewen was introduced to the audience by
Pierre Soule ESQ. He was warmly grected-a COM
pliment which he acknowledged in happy manner
The Colonel then took up his subject and treated it
with vigor truthfulness and eoqucnce that held his
hearers in the profoundest attention and admiration.
The ancient glory of Central America, as evidenced
by the ruins with which the country abounds, and its
barbarsm when discovered by the Spaniards, were
eoquently pictured as the dispensaton which Provl-
dence visits upon human greatness whenever it over
tops itself The condition of the Isthmus when under
tfie.Spanish yoke, miserable and degraded and its
condition from its emancipation to the time Of Walker
advent in Nicaragua, were portrayed in the most
vivid language.
Then, the career of Walker in that country-his
patriotism, his undying energy, his struggles and
trials, and his present glorious position were set
forth in manner that aroused the loudest enthusiasm
of his hearers The character of Walker, the differ
ence between his ambition and that of the mercenary
Spaniards who first subdued the barbarians of the
country was reviewed with mastery effect The
destiny of Nicaragua was finally set forth with an
enthusiasm that fascinated the audience whilst it did
not exceed the bounds Of probability. The Colonel
having been interrupted throughout his discourse by
the demonstrations of his hearers concluded amid
increased uproar of applause.
We went prepared to take such notes of the speech
as would enable to give proper idea of it to our
readers this morning, but it proved to be one of those
speeches which had better be reported in full not
at all. 1t vas the outpouring ola manly, enthusiastic
heart, clothed with all the beauties of scholastic
requirement and the armor Of genuine oratory. We
never heard the past the present and the future of
any country portrayed with more beauty and ability.
1t was in short, an address worthy of its glorious
subject, and one which reflected the highest honor
upon the speaker.
