Famine In Northern Michigan.

The necessaries of life have become sc
scarce in the Northern portion of Michigan
as to demand the instant charity of the more
fortunate people of the southern portion Of
the State. The citizens of Detroit have
formed a relief committee in aid of the suf-
ferers. and issue the following appeal to the
good people of that neighborhood:
''The Executive relief Committee earnestly
appeal to the liberality of the citizens OF
Detroit and the more favored portion of
the State, for additional aid in enabling
them to relieve the necessities Of their fell
low citizens i'll the northern counties The
calls for aid are of the most pressing char
acter and will soon absorb all the means at
their disposal. Some idea of the stats OF
things may be formed by perusal of the
letters addressed to the committee in the
daily prints of this ely. Contributions Of
the following articles. addressed to "Reliet
Committee" care of A. H. Rood, Esq De.

The Rniu

The most remarkable "spell of weather"
We have ever experienced in seven California
summers, is that of the last two days. A
gale of twenty four hours duration, blew
up succession Of storm clouds, which on
Monday night opened their portals and
showered down e most copious discharge of
rain. From 10 o'clock in the evening, until
2 o'clock yesterday morning, as much water
fell as could reasonably be expected during
the same period of time from n regular De-
cember storm. The atmosphere was chilled,
and as different from that of our ordinary
summer weather, as is the usual tempera-
ture of March. We have reason to fear the
consequences of this rain, the newly made
hay, and fresh cut and threshed grain of our
farmers being, as general thing, all ex-
posed in the open air. A rain, at so unsea-
sonable time must, very naturally, iniure
great many things which are exposed to
it, although we trust that nothing serious
will result frem its effects. As far as per-
sonal comfort and convenience are concern
ed, it has proved perfect s'God send" the
laid. Whatever injury it may have done,
the rain is most grateful di pensation TO
the laborer and the traveller.

CHALLENGE AcCEPTED,-Mr II. F. Gard
ner has accepted the proposition made by
the Courier to pay the sum of $500 to any
spiritual medium who will in the words of
that, paper communicate words impaired
to the spirits by US in an adjoining room,
who will read single word in English,
written inside book or sheet of paper fol
ded in such manner as We may choose
who will answer, With the aid of all the
higher intelligence he or she can invoke
from the other world, three questions; 80
who will tilt piano, without touching it.,
or cause chair to move foot, placed as
We will place it, and with committee of
scientific gentlemen to arrange the expert
ments." He excerpts the challenge on the
condition that the party making the offer
will agree to let all the conditions of the ar
rangements come within the scope of those
natural laws within which spiritualists be-
iieve spirits are confined in producing the
manifestations referred to above. The wri-
in the Courier does not object to this. and
the trial will probably soon take place.
The result will be looked for with interest.

CALIFORNIA IRoN.--The Placer Herald
of Saturday says that lead of iron ore has
been discovered on the lands of S. W. Lowell
Esq, about FIVE miles from Auburn. II
crops out of the ground on a hillside in the
shape of large boulders. The ore, in smaller
particles, is found over the adjacent ground
to the extent of forty acres. A test of the
ore has been made which shows extraordin-
airy richness--yielding about eighty-three
per cent. This was taken from the out
cropping without selection. The appearance
of that which, shows upon the surface of the
ground indicates an equal degree of rich
ness. 1t is not believed, however, that that
would be the average yield of the whole de-
post; but it is thought it will compare IA
vorably with the best ores in Pennsylvania.

From Pitt River.-Rumored murder Of
sli Meni-Destruction OF property.


A report rachel town on Tuesday, about
noon. by two gentlemen that arrived from

Jones, Yesterday. who left Pitt River Sum
day evening: he had heard nothing of the
outbreak. and thought it must be false
alarm. Mr.. Judah, brother of Capt. Judah
left Pitt River Monday morning, and he
heard nothing of it They both arrived in
town Tuesday afternoon. After our CONVEX
sation with Lieut.. Dryer, We were inclined
to place no reliance in the report; but after
weighing all the facts, we fear there may be
something in it. The Company were bring
ing up two Concord stages for Mr. Slicer,
and he was advised of their leaving Red
Bluffs on the 23d. of June, and he thinks
they ought to have been at Pitt river before
Messrs. Mcfarland and Judah left, as they

the road below Pitt River, and cut them off.
Yet opposing this view, is the presumption
that the teamsters would be vel armed. and
we think six men we'll armed might protect
themselves against any body of Indians
that would be likely to attack them in that
part of the country. We sincerely hope
that the rumor may prove to be Incorrect
1t is probable that in few days we will
know the facts
Lieut.. Dryer reports that he had killed
an Indian two days before he left Pitt River,
| the only one that had been seen for ten days.
A few days before he left they had stolen
some cattle from some immigrants, but
they had all been recovered but two or

The Indians secrete themselves in the

They make no fires, and it is very difficult to

The clipper ship Wizard arrived at San
Francisco on Sunday from Hong Kong with
cargo Of 700 Chinese, and with dates frofl
China to May 9th. The principal news is
that famine is feared. the authorities not
having made the usual provision against the
same by reason of the war. The rebels are
taking advantage of the presence of the
British and French hostile forces, and have
gained several important victories, and are
greatly augmented in strength. Pillaging
and marauding are rife in some of the dis
tricts, and fearful state of things exists
generally. Movements are being made to
concentrate large allied force of English
and French at Canton. An unsuccessful at
tempt was made to blow up II. d. NJ ships
Encounter and Acorn, with an Internal ma
chine. 1t exploded few yards from the
latter. The ship Raleigh was sunk on q
reef. she was total loss. Several Ameri-
can vessels of war were lying at various
