EXCESS OF APPAREI.--A EMoNsTRASCE.
"Tis not that thou art fond of dress,
Dearest, that / at all complain,
do not wish that fondncss less,
like, | want thee to be vain;
Nay, that thy charms might heightened be
BY every means, | would implore,
So that they might cnrapture me,
And make me love the still more.
'Tis for those very charms of thine,
BY fashion wrongcd that appeal,
Through muslin clouds they cannot shine;
Dress should adorn, and not conceal;
The present mode may suit the Hays
Or Matrons Of the Grampus kind
Of clothes they look best as bags,
Pulled out before at sides, behind.
But what avals it thee to own
form Of symetry and grace,
With drapcry round thee 50 outblown
That l can only see thy face?
The angel that thou art appear,
Nor longer so thy figure hide,
AS if thou vert chcrub mere,
That has facc-and nought beside.

MAN SHor.-The Nevada Journal says that
two miners living near Grass Valley, having
had their cabin robbed repeatedly, concluded
a few days ago to set spring-gun in the cabin
so as to go off upon the opening of the door
On Wednesday last, two persons, not owners
of the cabin, attempted to open the door, when
the gun went of, and shot one of them, it is
thought fatally. We have not been able to
learn the names of either of the parties, or
whether the two persons went to the cabin
with the intent to commit crime.

"a drayman, in driving down Powell street.
about o'clock last evening, carelessly ran

the off hind wheel, clean at the axle. One Of
the ladies driving, nothing daunted, seized the
whip, jumped from the wagon and made after

The MIGRATION TO kANsAs.-Thc St. Louis
Democrat says the immigration into Kansas at

We doubt whether the emigration to Califor-
mia was greater than that now going forward

strangers, and our steamers crowded with the
sturdy yeomanry of the older states all dcs-
tined to the fruitful plains of Kansas

FRIGHTFuL AND FATAL ACcIDENT.-Ihe
Jackson Ledger says, a terrible accident, re-
sultng fatally, occurred at the Oneida quartz
lode, about one mile from this place, on Tues
day last, 14th instant Richard Long, being
at the bottom of a shaft two hundred feet deep,
caught hold of the bucket Gnstead of getting
into it) in order to be raised out When with
in ten feet or thereabouts Of the top, his hold
was relinquished, and he fell to the bottom,
one hundred and ninety feet, passing through
flooring of one and a half inch plank into a
well of water, nine feet in depth. A person
engaged at drifting near by, pulled him out Of
the water, and the unfortunate man was raised
from the shaft and carried to the Hospital
Strange as it may seem to be, and really is,
Drs. Harris and Crawford kept him alive with
stimulants for eight hours, during which time
he retained his senses. IL was impossible
however to procure reaction, and in conse-
quence death ensued from the shock, or con
cussion. His legs and arms were literally
crushed Amputation would have been ne
ccssary had it been possible to save his life
Long was native of Ireland, and 32 years
old--no family. 1t is thought by some that
he let 90 his hold on the bucket purposcly, as
he had previously threatened his own life

FORTUNATE EscAPE-Last Saturday, April
18th, says the Nountaia Messenger while Mr..
John Eberly was passing through Secret Dig
gings, he stepped into shaft near forty feet
deep, with about fifteen feet of water in it. As
soon as Mr.. +. fell through the crust Of snow
that covered the shaft, his dog ran about bark
ing, and by repeated efforts of the kind, sue
cecded in attracting the attention of some per-
sons near by, who Immediately procured n
rope and rescued the unfortunate man. Mr..
L. had, before assistance arrived, succeeded in
getting within fifteen or twenty feet Of the top,
when he again slipped back. At the time of
the rope reaching him, he was barely able to
tie it around him and be hauled out

DEPARTURE FOR CARSON VALLEY, VIA. THE
BIG TREE RoUTE-From the Calaveras Chron-
icle we learn that Mr.. Noyes left Mokeluinne
Him on Sunday morning, 10Th inst, with ex-
press matter for Carson Valley. He goes by
way of Murphy's and ihe Big Tree, leaving
the former place on Monday, goth inst, ex-
pectng to get over in two days This gentle
man was the contractor, who last summer
took the job of improving this road. We be-
lieve his efforts were quite satisfactory to the
parties by whom he was employed. He pro-
poses during his stay in the Valley, to exert
himself in inducing the inhabitants to send
delegates to the Convention, and otherwise
assist in promoting the great work of making
thorough and substantial wagon road. He
intends to run an express, during the summer
from Murphys to theNalley.

IMPORTANT LAND CLAM CONFIRMED
Hoffman, says Bay paper, has rendered de
csion in the case of Theodore Soto, claiming
three leagues Of land known as Canada del
Hombre, confirming the title of claimant
The town of Martinez is built upon portion
of this claim, and its confirmation, taken with
the decision of the Supreme Court in the case
of Billings vs. Hall, will make Senor Soto a
very rich man. The decision of Judge Hoif.
man limits the claim of Senor Soto strictly to
the land granted.

ten dollars were panncd out of the ashes. The
fabulous bird, which is said to exist single, and
rise again from its own ashes, need not in fu-
ture be classed as myth.

New KIND OF FuEL-A farmer about $50
miles south of Chicago got out of coal, and as
the roads were in a bad condition, he thought
he would try the virtue Of corn in the ear to
supply the place of coal. 1t worked so well
that subsequently he purchased load of coal,
and tried it by measure in contrast with the
corn; and the experiment developed the fact
that the corn fuel was the best and the cheap
est. The corn and the coal were worth the
same price per bushel, 80 cents each, and the
corn went the furthest and made the cleanest
and BEST fire.

Two MEN SnoT-SulcIDE.-An affray occur

pistol to his head and blew his own brains out
with the last charge. The wounded men were
not dead at last accounts.

DREADFUL AccIDENr-Two CHILDREN Burn
ED TO DEATH-We learn from the San Fran
cisco papers that fire occurred in that city
early Wednesday morning last, in house oc-
cupied by four families in which two children
was lost. The Alta says, the fire originated
in the room occupied by John Murray, labo-
rer in Porter & Fenner's stable, on Kearney
street. Murray arose at 5 o'clock, and kndled
fire in the stove, and went to his work, leav-
ing his wife and three children asleep in bed.
The fire from the stove igntcd the woodwork,
and in short time all was in flames. The
mother, awakened by the smoke and noise,
caught one of her infant children in her arms
and rushed through the fire down the stair
way, leaving a little girl, two and half years
of age, and an infant, Qhe twin brother of the
one saved) aged three months, lying in the
bed. Before the firemen reach the spot, or
assistance could reach them, they were burned
to death--their bodies literally roasted.

KILLED BY < GRIzzLY.-A school teacher,
named Church, was killed by grizzly bear on

Nine Nenrs Ago.

The memory of 1s4S--a memorable year
for Europe--(says an exchange papcr,) was
called to our mind, lately, by reading an ac-
count Of celebration of the anniversary of
the French revolution of that year by body
of exiles in New York. The American Tag
sheltered many of the luckless men who par
ticipated in the events of the Battle Summer
Many others have died in exile, or langush in
chains, or sadly pine under the continental
despots they sought to overthrow. How viv-
idly present, as we write, seems the emotions
called up by the news that Paris bad rieen in
arms, that cannon and muskets had rang along
the Seine, that the citizen king had fled, that
the revolutonists were in possession of the
Hotel dc Vile and the Arsenal, and that the
republic had been proclaimed We seem TO
see Lamartine, in whom we thought we beheld
a second Washington, standing in the balcony
of the hotel, with ten thousand muskets lev
elled at his breast by the ruflians of the Fau-
bourgs, and yet refusing to give them the red
flag which they demanded, and which was
"trailed in the blood Of Frenchmen through
the Champ de Mars" insisting on the adoption
of the trieolor which had made the tour of the
world in halo of glory. And then we be-
hold all Paris, all France rejoicing in the rcsto-
ration Of republic. Other nations catch the
fiery impulse Germany shakes off her fct-
ters, Italy is alive, Poland breathcs once more,
and gallant Hungary arises against the despot.
Alas, the hopes awakened by that brief period
of convulsons are withered The folly and
incompetence of revolutionists, the might and
union of dcspots prevailed over the good cause.
The fctters were rclocked on the limbs that
had spurncd them from one end of the cont.
ncnt to the other. Yet we do not despair
AS soon should we think, because the sun set
in clouds, that he will never rise again glorious
and rcfulgent. The day star of liberty in Eu-
rope cannot be quenchcd. The funeral pail
that hides it win once again be drawn, and its
light shine upon the dark places of the earth.
More resolute champions of liberty yet will
arisc-other leaders, including all Of the past
who were true in the hour Of trial, like Kos
suth and Garbaldi, will take the field, and the
victory they achieve will bc decisive.

Legislature.

On Wednesday, message announced the
resignation of the State Librarian. The
House passed resolution to 60 into joint
Convention on Friday, to elect new Libra
rian, which was sent to the Senate, where it
was laid on the table. A resolution was adopted
in the Senate to print 1000 copies of the Gov
ernors Message and the inaugural; delivered
before "the House Of Representatives. was adop-
ed. "rhe Legislature was proposed, instead
Of "Honse Of Representatives" bnt it was re-
jectel. A committee was appointed by the
Senate to draft bill for a geological survey
of the State The bill for the increase Of sal
aries, was finally rejected in the Senate by a
strict party vote-21 to 27. The bill to cede
to the United States the civil jurisdiction Of a
lot for a post-otfic in Indianapolis, meets with
some opposition in the Senate. A great num-
Der of resolutions of enquiry were offered in
both Houses on all conceivable Subjects but
as most of them lead to no results, they are
hardly worth enumerating. The resolution
to provide for the appointment of a select
committee to investigate the charges of fraud
in the passage of the new hank charter was
adopted by the House. The State Treasu-
rer informed the House, by request, that un-
der the present operation of the sinking fund,
1T would take one hundred years to pay off the
State debt, but by assessing an additional tax
of one mill, it could be lquidated in ten
years.
