Robberies of Cinnamon.

DRyTowN, Sept. Is.
DlessrS Editors :-Robberies are becom-
ing so common that they attract but little
notice, The announcement Of an outrage of
this character no longer startles the commu-
nifty Men roam about and plumber with im-
punity, and Cinnamon are almost universally
the victims of their prey. Last Saturday
night, six Chinese cabins were entered on
Drycreek below Whittle's store, and the in
mates robbed this week, four companies
were robbed on the Costumes, and last even
ing at twilight, one mile below this place, two
rullians attacked All Coon, china butcher,
and with pistols presented, demanded and
took his money The men who did the out
rage, although known by the Cinnamon feel
secure, because they are legally protected by
the exclusion of the testimony, This abne.

rates as encouragement to crime with all who

FREsNo AND SAN DIEGo-ln each of these
counties, one cote only was cast for Edward
Stanly for Governor. The idea suggests it,
self that perhaps the people Of those counties
have an idea that the old English law pre-
walls, making it necessary to cut an heir off
with a shilling, Chat is to will him a shilling,
in order to disnhert him; so they thought
it necessary to east one vote each for Stanly,
otherwise the election would be declared void.
Perhaps, again, the Fresno supporter of Stan
ly is the same man, who in that county last
year voted for Fremont for President. The
San Diego man who voted for Stauly is
probably the hombre who was Zabriskie'S
partner in the Live Oak transaction, and he
doubtless thought that if Stanly could be
elected, :" his sort" would have good time
again.

cries Of the victim, and arrived in time to
save not only Mr.. P's. life, but his money al
so. The rullians fled on the approach of
these gentlemen, and have not yet been ar
rested, although, being known, but little
doubt exists as to their final capture and
punishment. Mr. T.. was conveyed home
next morning, where he now lies almost en-

The FALL. RAoEs.-The sporting season
in jackson commenced on Thursday oi TINS
week and in the number and variety OF the
races excelled anything on record. The races
were not premeditated, yet large concourse
assembled soon after dinner and the sports
commenced by a race of hundred yards be-
tween Blacksmith and Baker, The bet
/ ting was decidedly in favor Of Blacksmith
as he looked wiry and in good condition, while
Baker" was altogether too highly fed. But
"Clear the track, the riders are up, is repea-
ted along the line and all are on the look out
The word was given, and here they come at
a laundering pace, Baker ahead and every
muscle in him working as though he was cut
ting meat for mince pies while " Blacksmith
is striking out sledgehammer efforts, to get
the lead; but it is no use-the goal is reached
and Baker" is the winning horse.
SECOND RACE.
A couple of foreign horses, both Chinese,
were next brought on the track and showed
well with their long braided tails. There was
not much betting on this race, as it was feared
the riders might have private understanding
and throw OFF, the race The horses were
brought TO the scratch and started very kin
dly amid great cheering From the start i
was evident that one of them would beat,
which proved true, as All Run" came out in
advance of :" All Lag'and was declared the
victor.
THIRD RACE.
The next race was got up on the ground be
tween the African horse "Nig" and the
native American pony Dig Here was
chance for jockeys, they walked around the
horses, examined their points and specuIated
on their qualities Many thought the black
horse "a Singed cat" better than he looked
to be, while others believed the brown one
had the go in him. After q good deal
of parleying they were brought to the score
and the word given; both horses starting
well but "Dig" at once took the lead
Mig ran badly, bis left hind leg seeming
to be all over the track, another such leg
and no horse could run on the same track
with him. Dig won the race and the
money.

hundred dollars changed hands on the occa-

were kept up till dark and the betting did
not seem to lag.
We are "down on that race in which the

The cousin threw himself at Margaret's
feet saying:
"You have saved an unfortunate man
from destruction and DEATH"
At a little distance Marie muttered to
herself "my sister has courage, but for me,
l would let all hump-backed cousins die"
"Uncle," said the young man, "allow me
to make slight toilet before breakfast"
He pressed Margaret's hand, bowed to
Marie, and left to change his travelling attire.
The uncle and his daughters were at the
table and awaited their fourth guest.
The servant announced the cousin of Hy-
der Abad.
The two girls uttered screams, but on diff
ferent keys.
They see charming young man, tai
and without any hump-back, who embraces
Margaret and placing before her basket, he
says to her: "Behold your marriage por-
ton"
1t was basket full of diamonds. 1t was
moreover, the hump, which has thus arrived
free of duties.
"See what have carried on my shoul-
ders," said the cousin, from Bombay tc
Havre, to offer it to that one of my cousins
who would accept me with my false poverty
and my feigned deformity."
There was great joy in the house, which
was, astonishing as it may seem, participated
in by Marie. 1t is true, that Marie loved he
sister dearly without detesting the beautiful
diamonds.

CHEERFULNESs.

What blessing is cheerful heart! 1t is
like perpetual spring whose deep fountains
send up life and health to invigorate nature,
and make the surrounding wastes smile and
leap with renewed youth and merry life.
An angel is she, whose ministrations are
good and not evil. Beneath her influence,
the human nature is purified; the soul grows
strong, its God-like faculties kindle and beam
with re-inspired vigor, its every nerve pulses
with holier life, and the fountains of Joy and
youth are opened to shadow forth glimpse
of heavens glories; while the base passions
are quenched, and unholy desires restrained,
for the deadly night-shade hourisheth not in
the rays of the life-giving sun.
Truthful and beautifully uttered are the
following remarks on this subject, which we
copy from the Cayuga Chief:
A sanctimonious form of manner and tone
of voice, and gloomy cast of countenance,
are traits out of way in the makeup Of hu-
manity. People Of this stamp are like ice
bergs drifting in the realms of tropical luxu-
rance and beauty, their words and looks like
the chill winds which check by their coldness
Their footballs have the sound of a knell, and
their appearance is always shadow which
darkens the sunniest flow Of spirits.
Men born with this gloomy dignity, cannot
always remedy the misfortune. But in
majority of cases it is put on-arti6cial-
false. With the latter class, it is an effort to
move through the world with an air of supe-
rior wisdom. To act naturally, would make
no impression. They must assume an air
which shall attract. They must sit down
with dignity, and get up with dignity
They speak with deliberation and solemnity,
4 and lay out more preparation to spit with
propriety, than natural man would to do
days work.
1t is no crime-no impropriety to laugh.
The world is full of laughter. 1t CLEANS in
the summer wind and in the trill of waters;
there is chuckle in the sound of rain. drops
on the roof; the flowers bloom with laughter,
and every leaf and blade smiles in its pulsing
joy; the blue sky laughs down upon us from
above, and even the stars through the long
night wink mischievously at each other as
they keep their watch and sing together
There is laughter in the song Of the birds,
and the sweet hum of the insects and in the
floods, from the ponderous leviathan to the
tiniest of the race, sport and leap like chill
dren at play.
Some people stamp their religion with this
air of gloom. If they smile it onl y sets in
mockery upon the elongated features, and
renders the solemnity more ghastly. With
them, an outgushing of l-hearted mirth
would be a sin. A sad mistake. If there is
person in the world, who should be cheerful
and moving about like a sunbeam, through
the world, it is the man or woman whose
souls are bouyant with the hope of an
Immortality whose sky is cloudless.

P R A Y E R

Prayer is the incense of the soul,
The odor of the flower;
And rises as the waters roll
To Gods controlling power!
Within the soul there would not be
This infinite desire
To whisper thoughts in prayer to thee,
Hadst thou not Lit the fire.
Prayer is the spirit speaking truth
To thee, whose love divine
Steals gently down like dew to soothe,
Or like the sunbeam shine;
For in the humblest soul that lives,
As in the lowliest flower,
The dew-drop back his image gives,
The souls reflects his power
At night, when all is hushed and still,
And cen soft echo sleeps,
A still small voice doth DER me thrill,
And to each heart-throb leaps;
1t is the spirit-pulse that beats,
Forever deep and true;
The atom with its Author meets,
AS sunlight greets the dew.
