Frosting A Justice.

The first Courts of Justice in the noun.
tans were not rema kable either for learning
or sobriety the Judge" of whom we are
about to tell was distinguished for nothing
but an inordinate appetite fer pale brandy,
and capacity to sit up and sleep. One day
His Honor appeared in Court laborina under
peculiar difficulty some arrangement of
the visual organs had taken place by which
the real and apparent location of things were
very much mixed. People said His Honor
was drunk. Moving slowly, and by serpen-
tine course to a three-legged stool which WAS
meant for the seat of Justice, he sat down on
an imaginary stool, which, in his minds eye,
stood close 10y the real one, and brought up
or rather down, in very pndgni6ed position.
The jury were all seated and the attorneys
waiting to begin the argument about case
of gouging, biting and batering. The Judge,
overcome by his mishap, looked up at the
canvass awning and remarked: "All rig h.t,
pro ceed" relapsed into semi-forgetfulness,
thought still aware that something was not as
it should be in five minutes more he was
sound asleep. One of the attorneys empited
a bucket of water on his person, which made
him draw a long breath, but brought no
strength to his legs and four jurymen took
each an arm and leg and carried him out
doors, where discussion was had as to what
should be done with him, and at length the
proposition prevailed to sew him up in a
blanket and hang him out in the frost as the
Virginia negroes hang ont 'coons and pos
sums
A sail needle was procured and His Hon
or was soon enclosed and hung on pole,
placed in the crotch Of two trees. 1t was
long after dark when the keen air brought the
Justice to himself; he was discovered by
three tipsy fellows who were warping them
selves home they said the "Square was
kicking furously y and swearing that he was
tangled in his bed blankets or chained in the
infvrnal rcgions-he didn't know or care

upon, the gentlemen proposed, each came
forward and declared in favor of John B.
Weller, for said office. 1t was then resolved
that the aforesaid proposed gentlemen be de-
clared duly elected Delegates from Placer
county, to the said State Convention.
James Anderson was placed in nomination
as one of the five delegates to be elected
from the county at large, and upon vote
taken was declared duly elected.
On motion, it was requested that nomina
tions be made to fill the remaining four va
cancies in the delegation, and that when the
nominations were complete the Convention
proceed to ballot for the same
Some confusion obtaining with regard to
the mode of baloting, it was moved to re-
consider the foregoing, which was, upon
vote, refused by the Convention.
1t was also moved to reconsider the vote
by which Mr.. Anderson was elected, in order
that the entire five delegates might be elect
ed by ballot, which motion was declared by
the Convention, in the negative
The Convention then proceeded to ballot
for the four remaining delegates, when the
following named gentlemen having received
the requisite number of votes were declared
duly elected: d. II. Lee, Daniel Choate, j.
M. Powers, w. Story. During the progress
of the election of the delegates, Mr. J. c.
Duel, offered a set of resolutions which were,
on motion, laid upon the table, as being in
that connection out of order and as they
were not again released from that position
are not reported herewith.
On motion Of Mr. Anderson, the following
resolution was, after some debate, passed by
the Conventions:
Resolved, That for the purpose of securing
to Placer county her due political impor-
tance in the Democratic State Convention
to be held in Sacramento on The l4th of
July, 1857, it is desirable that our delegation
cast their vote therein, as a unit, and they
are hereby required to cast the vote of this
county as directed by a majority of the
delegates there present and acting, and fur
ther that John b. Weller of Sacramento is
the choice of the Democracy of Placer coun-
ty for Governor, and that said delegation
cast their vote in accordance Herewith.
resolution was then offered recommends
ing to the County Central Committee, to
appoint the next Convention to meet at Iowa
Hill, to whsch several amendments were
offered, and which resolution with tho amend
ments, was finally laid upon the table, from
which, on a subsequent vote, the Convention
refused to take it, or the amendments.
On motion, the Convention then adjourn
ed sine die.

A PARODY,

The following parody upon the old and popular
song of "Ben Bolt" is not only very good as
parody, but it includes a lesson that may reacf
the heart of some young inebriate, whom more
serious counsel might fail to reach:
"Oh don't you remember the boys, Ben Bolt,
The boys with noses so red,
Who drank with delight whenever they met
And always went drunk to bed?
In the old grave yard, in the edge of the town,
In corners obscure and alone,
They have gone to rest and the gay young sprg
Have dropped off one by one!
"Oh! don't you remember the jug, Ben Bolt,
And the spring at the foot of the hill,
Where oft we've lain in the summer hours,
And drank to our utmost fill?
The spring is filled with mud Ben Bolt,
And the wild hogs root around
And the good old jug. and its whiskey sweet
Lies broken and spilld on the ground.
ooh! don't you remember the tavern, Ben Bolt,
And the bar-keepcr kind and true,
And the little nook at the end of the bar.
Where we swallowed the rum he drew
The tavern is burnt to the ground, Ben Bolt,
The bottles are crack'd and dry,
And of all 'the boys who 'spreed' it there.
There remains but you and H.

JAMES HERR4cK,
Mining on the Eastern Slope.

Gold has been found on all the streams on
the Eastern slope of the Sierra Nevada. be-
tween the 3Sth and 42nd degrees of latitude,
and indeed even north of the latter point, if
the reports of immigrants and hunters may
be relied upon. As early as the spring of
1850, when "ounce diggings" could be had
almost for the asking on this side of the
mountains, a company of miners located and
commenced operations in small gulch con-
Meeting with the main branch of Carson river,
and remained there for two years. paying the
most extravagant prices for provisions and
recklessly exposing themselves to the attacks
of the Indians, who at that time were ex-
tremely troublesome. In the Fall of that
year party of seven men, after prospecting
all the branches of Carson river, located on
the south fork, and in ten days took out six
hundred ounces Of gold, when they were at
tackled by the Indians and compelled to re-
treat with the loss of two of their number
Since that time the mines on the south and
middle forks have been worked with consid-
cradle success. Walkers river, about 100
miles south of Carson, has been pretty well
prospected within the past six months, and at
last accounts party of miners, the most Of
whom had visited the new placers, were or
ganizing in Carson Valley, with the view of
permanently locating in the new E Dorado.
Some mining has been done on Truckee river,
and gold has been found on Wilkes river and
on several of the branches of the MN amera,
still further north.
The existence Of quartz on the most of
| those streams, and other indications peculiar
to the mining regions on this side of the
mountains may be considered pretty good
evidence, in connection with what is positive
| " known, that all the rivers on the eastern
side of the mountains contain more or less
gold, and will one day swarm with miners;
when men will learn to content themselves
with smaller wages than now received in Cal
ifornia- Golden Era.
NEGROES IN KANsAs-The Cincinnati En-
quirer says:-A Virginia gentleman, whom
we met yesterday, who had just returned
from Kansas, whittier he went with view Of
iuquring into the practicability Of introduc-
ing slave labor in the cultivation of that Ter
itory, informed us that it was the universal
conviction of all intelligent Southern gentle
men that the country was not adapted to
slave labor, as there was not fuel enough in
Kansas to keep the negroes from freezing;
and, in his own language, if five hundred ne
groes were introduced into the Territory, it
would take at least two hundred and fifty Of
them to procure wood to keep the others
warm.

Singular Optical Illusion

The Paris correspondent of the New
York Times states that gentleman living in
Brussels, somewhat troubled by cobwebs and
spots in his eye, rubbed tAem one night with
q few drops of extract of halladona. In the
morning the cobwebs had gone, but the whole
outer face of the world had changed. His
newspaper, which had been placed hy his bed
side, was composed of type so small that he
could hardly dpciphar it. He rang the bell,
and his stout serving wonch had shrunl into
a thin little girl of ten years. He got up in
a great fright, aud looked alter his clothing
they were the garments Of child, but as
his own limbs had diminished in proportion,
he easily got into them. lie found his wife
and children at the table, the former dwarf,
and the later a row of dolls. lie hurried off
to his physician the horses he met looked
like dogs, and dogs like rats. Everything
was Lillput and Cinderella Lotinns were
applied to- the victims eyes, and the next day
Brobdignac returned, bringing back the cob
webs and spots. This phenomenon, called
microple, does not seem to have occurred
more than halfadozen times, though it may
be brought on at will by the employment Of
certain substances.

a melancholy result to arrive at. California

little girl having been called to a rosebush, on

A Lovely Woman's Kiss.
ny AN ENTHUSIASTIC Young MA,

ny AN ENTHUSIASTIC YOUNG MAN.
I've banquetted on luXuries
Produced in every cline.
I've fcastcd on rich turtle soup,
And supped on oysters prime;
But nothing so delicious is
Within world like this,
AS soft caresses seasoned by
A lovely womans kiss.
I've gloated over the festive board,
And drank rich draughts of wine
I've listened at the opera
At melody divine;
But oh! I've never, never met
Such sweet excess of bliss
As thrills the soul when lips receive
A lovely woman's kiss.
In glittering halls of splendor rare
I've passed the midnight hours
in gardens beautiful and fair
I've wandered mid the flowers,
But there's a dearer joy than these
A Joy I would not miss
A heavenly rapture which is found
In lovely woman's kiss.
In my last hour, when death draws near,
In darkness and in gloom,
May woman's smile, my pathway cheer,
And light me to the tomb;
And when my soul shall take its flight
To other worlds than this,
May it be waited to the skies
By lovely Woman's kiss.

Gold Shipments.

The Town Tolh makes up the following
statetement of the treasure shipments from
San Francisco, daring the frat half of each
year, from la40 to 1857 inclusive;
The Placer herald., 1857-07-18

From the above, we estimate the total ship
ment for the year 1857, to be about $4A,
100000; but should the importation of merr
ohandise from the Atlantic States fall off pro.
portionally, as expec cd, it may not reach
above $40,OO0,QOQ.
The Placer herald., 1857-07-18

We believe, says the 2aih, that these fig.
ures will be found correct, although the res
turn for 1850 is averaged, as no returns save
the aggregate for the year, are to be ohtaiRs
ed.
1t will be noticed that during the periods
mentioned, the years 81, 2, IS and Y, aps
proximae to about the same figure, whilst
the years '53, a and g do not vary much in
their great excess over the residue. In 1859
the largest amount was shipped, and in 1S4Q,
Of course, the smallest. The figures are high
ly interesting, particularly when It is remem-
bered that the shipments occurred during
months in which the miners posses an abup-
dance Of water. On the commencement Of
new year the exports of gold invariably fall
oft, whilst they yisibly increase towards the
end. The largest amount Of treasure ship.
