SOUTH FORK MINING LAWS.

A I A MEETING of the Miners assembled at
IA the house of Mr.. Mark McNicholas, No
vember 4th, 1854, it was unanimously agreed
that Mr.. James Coogan be nominated President
and Mr.. John Hogan, Secretary And then and
there the following resolutions were formed and
agreed to:
ARTICLE l. All old claims are to be fully in
sured to the companies owning them, provided
they have been worked by the same compa-
nies the previous season, and that the same old
companies intend TO work same claims the ensu-
ing season, so far as river claims concerned,
and not otherwise.
ART. 2. All old claims are fully acknowl-
edged in their full extent, and said claims are
to be respected by having them recorded.
ART. 3. All river claims are to extend two
hundred feet long to each man, together with
the bed bar and banks, if any, of the river, ta-
ken up after this date.
ART. 4. All claims can be secured from the
time the river gets high, or from the time Mi
ners are set idle by high water, until the 18th
OF June, by having notice posted on said claim,
and having it recorded and after the 18th of
June, said claim must be worked, or have the
notice renewed every third day.
ART. 8. All surface claims are to be same
size say two hundred feet long by one hundred
feet wide to each man.
ART. 6. All tunnel claims are to be one
hundred feet wide through the hill; and al

veras river, and to extend up so high as Spen-
GERS Bar, and no further.

READ AND REFLECT.
IF there's an hereafter.

II there's an hereafter,
And that there is, conscience, uninhucnced,
And suffered to speak out tells every man,
Then it is an awful thing to die,
More horrid yet to die at ones own hand.
Shall Nature, swervng from her earliest dictate,
Self-preseryation, fall by its own actf
Forbid it Heavenl
The indulgence in secret pratice is the most
certain, though not always the most immedi-
ate and direct, avenue to destruction. Physi-
clans OF all ages have been most unanimously
of opinion that the loss of one ounce of semi
nal secretions, by unnatural aid or emissions,
weakens the system more than the abstraction
of forty ounces of blood. One of the FIRST
writers on medical jurisprudence states that
three-fourths of the insane owe their malady to
such abuse.
How important, then, it is for every one, hav-
ing the least cause to suspect any trouble in
that way, to attend to it Immediately; even
one single occurrence should be sufficient to
cause doubt, and much more so if the person
had ever indulged in the soul-killing habit.
The treatment pursued by the justly celebrated
DIR. j. G. Young, in cases of seminal weakness,
impotency, sterihty, nervous debility and pa
ralysis, the last is the most dangerous, and
when it once occurs, incurable,) is not surpass-
ed by any Physician in the country. 1t is the
same as that followed by him for years, under
the guidance of the world-rcnouned Ricord Of
Paris, and Acton of London DR.. Young's office
is at the corner Of Montgomery and California
Streets, where he can be consulted on that and
all other private diseases, with the utmost con-
fdence and secrecy. DR.. Young will warrant
a perfect cure or make no charge
n. B.-Letters inclosing $I0 90 will receive
prompt attention. The doctors time being SO
much taken up that he cannot attend to letters
unless paid for it.

LADY as. WoMAN-Fashion has gene
rally adopted the term 'slady' to express
the beauty Of the words rife or aooman
IN all the perfection of cultivated and ed
ucated loveliness. We have always thought
the term lady to be prefix to word that
signifed something more or less than
woman or wife, inconsistant with virtue,
decency and propriety. A subscriber has
directed our attention to the following ex-
tract:
"Col. Benton has been getting himself
into trouble with the fair sex by asserting
in letter, correcting the report of his
speech at the Astor House, before the
New England Society, that the word
"lady" did not occur in the Bible, in any
Greek.or Roman book, nor in his "Thirty
Years View" Hosts of "ladies" have
been writing to the newspapers, refutine
that part of his statement which refers tC
the Bible, and such texts as "The ladies
of Persia and Media" Esther |, 18th
and thou AseJt.no more. be called The
lady of Kingdoms" Isaiah V, 47th, and
others, are showered at the Colonel with
out number. Ex-Senators should be care
full about quoting the Bible"
Any person who may feel interested can
easily read the chapter above referred to-
Esther [, 18th to 22d-and it will be seen
that the term "ladies" is used as mark
of opprobrium, expressive of some positive
feeling against the Queen and her at
tendants, for refusing to " come to feast
at the Kings commandment by his cham
berlains." This disobedience led to the
banishment of "the Queen and all the
maids and matrons of the royal household,
which gave their estate to others" and at
the same time decreeing that call the
aciues shall give to their husbands honor,
both to great and SMALL" and he " sent
letters into all the provinces, into every
province according to the writing thereof,
and to every people according to their
language, that every man should bear rule
in his own house, and that it should be
published according to the language oi
every people"
Isaiah Y, has but thirty verses. There
is not chapter in Isaiah that has as many
as forty-seven verses. So the Z" fair sex
represented by Ghosts Of ladies' must bt
satisfied with the simple yet beautiful
and expressive terms, "women, wives
mothers, daughters, sisters, aunts, ol(
maids, spinsters, &C."

LYNCH LAW IN VIRGINIA-THE SLAVE
EXcITEMENT.-During the late Christmas
holidays, information having been received
in Scottsville that Benjamin Hunt, citi-
zen of this county, residing near that vii
lage, had been using language tending to
encourage insurrectionary movements
among the slave population, deputation
of several citizens repaired to his residence
to arrest him. On being brought to the
village, the charges against him were sub
jected to a rigid investigation, and during
the examination, the following facts were
incontestibly proved One witness testi-
fed that he had heard Hunt say that the
white man had no more right of ownership
IN the negro than the negro had in the
white man, and if it came to the test, he
would sooner fight for the negroes than
the white people. Another witness testi-
fed that he had heard him say that he
would have rejoiced in the election of Ere
mont, as in that event the negroes would
have been freed; and that in case of a col
lision between the whites and blacks. he
would take the side opposed to the white
people; whereupon the indignant populaee
seized and compelled him. to be ridden
upon rail, borne by several stout negro
men, through the streets. When they
had paraded him through the streets to
their hearts content, they were ordered to
take him to a more retired part of the vii
lage and administer an application of tai
and feathers, which they did with equal
satisfaction and delight. When this was
done he was ordered to leave the county
within ten days, and seek his fortunes
where the institutions were better adapted
to his anti-slavery feelings. = Charlottesville

KIssING. are few married men
who are not averse to seeing their wives
kissed, but an exchange relates the par
ticulars of case in which aneWly welded
Benedict felt himself insulted because bis
wife wasn't kissed. The bridegroom IN
question was a stalwart young rustic who
was known as formidable operator in a
free fight" His bride was BLOOMING
and beautiful country girl only sixteen
years of age, and the twain were at party
where number of young folks of both
sexes were enjoying themselves in the
good old-fashioned, pawn playing style
Every girl in the room was called out and
kissed except Mrs. B., the beautiful young
bride aforesaid, and although there was
not youngster present who was not dying
to taste her lips, they were restrained by
the presence of her herculean husband,
who stood regarding the party with a look
of sullen dissatisfaction. They mistook
the cause Of his anger, however, for sud-
denly he expressed himself to the effect
that they must Kiss her, or fight.
Rolling up his sleeves, he stepped into
the middle of the room, and in tone of
voice that at once secured marked attention,
said: Gentlemen, | have been noticing
how things have been working here for
some time, and I amt half satisfied. /
don't want to raise a fuss, but What $
the matter John, inquired half dozen
voices. 1Whatdo you mean? Have we
done anything to hurt your feelings p
Yes, you have; all of you have hurt my
feelings, and [ have just got this to say
about it. Here's every gal in the room
has been kissed mighty nigh a dozen times
apiece, and there's my wife, who [ con-
slider as likely as any of 'em has not had a
single one to night; and just tell you
now, if she don't get as many kisses the
balance Of the time as any gal in the room,
the man that Sights her has gotme to fight
that's all. Now go ahead with your
plays p If Mrs. b., was sighted during
the balance of the evening we did not

IMPORTANT to Miners, Travellers. dc

There is no malady of deeper Importance
either in a medical moral point of view, to
which the human family is more liable than
that arising from impure connections.
AS medical man, it is the duty of every
physician to look at disease as it affects health
and life and his sole object should be to miti-
gate, as far.a lies in his power, the bodily suf-
tering Human nature at best is but frail; all
are liable to misfortune
Of all the ills that affect man, none are moro
terrible than those of private nature. Dread
ful as it is in the person who contracts it.
frightful as are its ravages upon his constitu-
ton, ending frequently in destruction and a
loathsome grave, it becomes of still greater i'm
portance when it is transmitted to innocent Off
spring. Such being the case, how necessary it
becomes that every one having the least reason
to fear that they have contracted the disease,
should attend to il st once, BY consulting some
physlclan whose respectability and education
enables him to warrant safe, speedy and per-
manent cure In accordance with this necesEi-
ty. DIR. YOUNG feels called upon to state
that by long study and extensive practice, he
has become perfect master of all those diseases
which come under the denomination of venereal,
and having paid more attention to that branch
than any other physician in the United States,
he feels himself better qualified to treat them.

INTENSE CoLD.-The terrible severity
of the winter at the Northwest is illustrated
by the following adventure which befel a
party Of surveyors in Iowa last week, who
took shelter from a snow storm in aravlne
which scanned the prairie
"Ihey pitched their tent upon three
feet OF snow-rigged stove whose pipe
ran through the top of the tent-ate and
went to sleep. A difficulty of breathing
aroused the party early, and it was discov-
cred that the rayine had drifted chock
full, and that the snow was three feet above
the top OF the tent and the top of the pipe.
Out of the entire surveying company of
which they were part, two men froze to
death, two waded the prairie SHOWS in
stocking feet unable to draw on their stiff
boots, and were disabled, permanently OF
temporarily, by the freezing of the ex-
tremities.'
Near the Missouri river, in Iowa, the
mercury has been as low as 80 degrees be-
low zero.

ExTRAvAGANCE IN DRESS, ETC.-The
following article was written for the paral-
lei Of Philadelphia, but, like certain class
of almanacs, it will answer for almost any
meridian. We adopt it, without any
apology to the writer, regarding that as a
higher compliment than any thing we
could say IF we were asked to define
what was the most prominent defect of
American society, we would answer, pre-
tension. 1t seems to pervade all classes,
and sadly interferes with the happiness of
our domestic life. People in the United
States do but too often fail to accommo-
date their mode Of living to their circum-
stances Instead of their houses, dress,
manners, conversations, growing naturally
out of their position, all is assumed and
initiated. AS is apt to be the case in
other matters, the assumption is transpa-
rent, and the imitation bad 1t is an easy
matter for man who has well-flled purse
to give an order to an upholsterer, and to
have his house, with front of twenty
feet, as fine as velvet carpets, damask
chairs, silk curtains, mirrors, gliding and
paint can make it. 1t is very different
thing to conceal from the obseryant eve of
a cultivated person, that the occupant Of
the small, crowded gaudy rooms is without
Just taste or true refinement and that all
his expenditure is but for vulgar display.
4 single good picture, the well-thumbed
book Of some standard writer, a musical
instrument that bears unmistakeable marks
Of use, work-box, an embroidery frame,
a handful Of well arranged flowers, would
speak more to the mind and heart than all
this upholstery. So in dress. It is no
tonous that Americans, and especially
American ladies, very much oyerdress.-
Costly fabrics, silks and laces, every day
sweep Chestnut street or Broadway, that are
only for the carriage, and out Of park or
public drive are never seen abroad. A
French lady always dresses in good taste !;
but for the street she dresses plainly
Few London matrons would walk abroad
in the custome which New York lady
thinks the only one fit toappearin Why
is this? Is the American women less
modest or discreet? No but she initiates
without discriminating. She is model
wife, daughter, mother, because here she
follows the instincts of her nature, the
promptings Of her own loving heart. But
her dress is not her own; it comes from
the other side of the Atlantic An Eng
lish Duchess or French Countess, has
worn just such one. To be sure, it was
in carriage, and the same Duchess when
she took walk, wore thick shoes, CATERS,
and gown of plain stuff. But the fair
American does not know this, or does not
regard it; and so she persists in treading
dainty steps with thin soled shoes over
wintry pavements, and perseveringly
sweeps the crossings with her lustrous
silks. What departure from good taste
How far from the true standard of all
things-ftness.

IMMORTALITY. - How beautiful the

IMMORTALITY. - How beautiful the
following, from the pen of Prentice:
"Why is it that the rainbow and the
cloud come over us with beauty that is
not of earth, and thus pass away and leave
us to muse on its faded loyeliness? Why
is it that the stars, which hold their festi-
val around their midnight thrones, are set
above the grasp of our limited faculties,
forever mockingus with their unapproacha-
BILE glory? And why is it that the bright
forms of human beauty are presented to
our view, and then taken from us, leaving
the thousand dreams of affliction to flow
back IN Alpine torrents upon our hearts !?
We are born for higher destiny than
that Of earth. There is a realm where the
beautiful beings that now pass before us
like meteor, will stay in our presence
