Topics of the Day.

A DELEGATION Of ladies visited
us yesterday, armed with their own
sweet smiles and winning wiles, and
a subscription paper for raising mon
cy to purchase land whereon to locate
II cemetery. They took us by sur
prise, and almost unprepared to do
tribute to their appeal to our generosi-
ty, but the mite that we possessed
they got, and we are only sorry it
wasn't more. We are wicked and
perverse generation for not having
long since provided q quiet resting
place for those who die among us
apart from the noise and tumult of
the town, and away from the hurly-
burly of long toms and sluice boxes.
An avalanche from one of the
sand hills in San Francisco few days

and the only incident that seemed to
be at all provocative of surprise to
the San Franciscans, was that the
coffins were in such wonderful state
Of preservation. Those dwellcrs at
Yerba Buena are Injured to such
sights. Hardly a street is graded
in the less frequented parts of the
city, that when the earth is upturned
does not reveal the mortal remains of
some long-forgotten pioneer, inferred
in what was then the suburbs Of the
city.
There is no longer an excuse for
a similar state of things in Oroville,
and we trust this attempt to provide
the town with another burial place
than the one upon the bluff, will meet
with prompt and efficient aid from
our citizens.

SMUGGLING MILK IN THE "ORIGINAL
1T is said that Mr.. Secretary
Guthrie, in framing his reciprocity tariff
with Canada, made the duty on milk so high,
that the farmers on the royal borders, III
stead of milking their COWS at home and
sending the milk in cans into the States find
it more economical to drive their cows over,
milk them on the American side, and then
drive them back again. They commute for
the toll over the bridges for very moder-
ate consideration.

HONORARY D-Liverpool. Nov. g.
handsome present, in the shape of gold
medal worth El00, was made this afternoon
at the Sailors Home, through the instru-
mentality of the Local Marine Board, to
Capt Langcake, of the British bark Winder-
mere, in the ,name of the President of the
United States. In October last, Capt. Lang
cake rescued the captain, officers, and crew
of the American ship Hampton, bound to
New York from Shields, when that vessel
was in sinking condition. One side of the
medal contains representation of the res
cue of drowning seaman, and on the other
is an inscription recording the mertorious
service of Capt. Landcake and the fact that
tn, medal was presented by President Pierce
This is the third testimonial of the kind
which has been made through the Local Ma
:ine Board within a short period, but it is
the handsomest gift hitherto received.

THERE seems to be an alarming in
crease of illness in and about this
town. Some of our most prominent
citizens have lately died, and bereave-
ments sadden the hearts of more than
one of our families, and indeed the
last week seems to have been fraught
with sorrow. The bright new year
comes to many of us in sadness and
gloom, and laden with grievous la
men tations. Husbands have been left
wifeless, and mothers and children
have been bereft of kind husbands
and fathers. What seemed to have
commenced as trivial complaints,
have brought about the most sadden-

CAUSE OF A ACoNFAGRATIoN.-The follow
ing remarks on the recent fire in St. Louis,
Mo-, we clip from the Boston I'rdreNer.-
They ought to serve as warning to US Oro-
Williams:
The great FIRE, the other day. at St. Louis,
caught from the ends of joists that pierced
the walls of the fues and we're exposed to
the flames. This gross carelessness of con-
struction resulted in the loss of about half a
million of dollars. The steam fire engine OF
the city was so rusted up that it could not be
used, and the apparatus Of the only hook and
ladder company in the city was covered up
with tobacco hogsheads and lumber and
could not be extricated until after an hours
labor,

Accounts from all parts of the
mountains apprise us that most unu-
sual quantities of snow have fallen.
A friend living at Brandy City, a To-
cality in the neighborhood of Camp
tonville, writes to us that the severe
weather, and the great depth of snow
had caused an entire suspension of
mining operations in that vicinity.
He says: "Snow has blocked up the
bitches, and it has been storming
here for the last six weeks almost
constantly; but when the Spring
opens great will be the yield of the
precious metal" The great draw
back to the advantageous working of
mountain diggings, is the want, of
proper acqueducts, and water from
the melting SHOWS has heretofore for
lack of bitches, run to waste. But
the preparations that have been made
during the last Summer and Fall, to
collect the water as it runs from the
mountain sides, promise prosperous
season for the miners the coming
Spring. No season has promised such
a plentiful harvest of gold as this,
and may the result verify the predict
ions of the confident miners.

Weird u Wholesale Dealers --scp-
asate she char from the Grain.

Now that Davenport has become
the Emporium Of the State in the line
OF Trade, and our wholesale merchants
arc making extensive sales To country
traders, We deem it our duty to uttrr
aword ofcaution in due season. respect
ing the credit to be extended to thcs,
country dealers. As a general rule,
there is none safer 10 the merchant,
than that of the cash system which
gives the merchant an opportunity OF
knowing, each day, precisely what he
has made or lost, without any of the
contingencies dependent upon the cred
1t system. But this rule is rlo, gene
rally adopted by wholesale dealers. and
OF course those who do give credit will
do more extensive, but more hazard
Gus business, and will always be arpre-
hensive Of losses that may prove ruin
GUS to themselves. Davenport has a
large number of extensive Wholesale
houses, which attract the country ,ra-
ders from all parts Of the State, who
md that they can buy, AS cheap and
cheaper, in Davenport, than in Chioa

Among the swarm of country mcr.
chants patronizing our city, there are
numbers Of regular swindlers. who buy
goods with no other aim than 10 turn
them into cash and cheat their cred

ing our merchants iarthing. Others
who have more credit than honesty.
will open n country store, and for
abort season observe the most excm-
plary rules Of dealing, until an oppor-
tunity occurs to secretly sell out, aud
be off to parts unknown, or sell out
the most valuable Of their stock, peck
ct the money, and fail in business ,
putting on the most doleful exterior
and uttering loud lamentations OF pow
erty, while their agents are entering
Government lands for them, somcw where

ly obtained. Wholesale dealers in the
West are . hundred fold more liable
to be swindlcd, than are the merchants
Of the East, for here all are strangers,
and few know the antecedents of their
neighbors or their present ability to
meet pecuniary engagements. Our
merchants cannot be too cautious in
giving credit for not only the reputa-
ton Of our city, but the credit and
stability Of our business men depends
upon the adoption Of safe system of
Wholesale trade.
