HoRNITos.-Our town was unusually quiet
during the latter part Of last week, owing,
probably, to the fact that many of our citizens
went to see the exciting sport of the races at
McDermott's ranch. We hear Of the contem-
plated erection of several new buildings which
will be completed ere the rainy season sets in,
and the prospect is that we will soon have a
ball suitable for exhibitions and public occa-
sions. The completion of several business
houses within the the past few weeks, adds
greatly to the appearance of our thriving town.

Burns CREEK.-Messrs. Dimous & Russell
last week panned out $50 from their ella m on
Burns creek, in rear of Mr. Carrs Livery
Stable, the largest piece weighing SIG. As
there is only water sufficient for rocker or
pan in the creek at present, the above must
be considered as a very rich claim, and the
want Of water alone prevents US from hearing
of miners making good wages every day.

HEALTH OF THE CouSTy.-There is at pres
county. A short time since, the influenza
was among us, but we can now boast of our
really heathful county. We know of no seri-
Gus case of sickness, and the appearance Of
our people in this part of the county denotes
anything but i'll health.

HE FRENcHMAN AND THE FRoG-
During our Revolutionary war, when
the American army was encamped near
saratoga, there was in the army =
+ renchman named Uddng. He was on
d scouting party one night, and being sep
arated from his companions, was alarmed
by the croaking of the frogs in a swamp
through which he had TO pass. He heard
his name distinctly called from different
parts of the swamp" CGapn Udano.
CoP" Oda"g and supposing that he
i"d been discovered by scouts from the
enemy he pushed his horse TO its utmost
speed TIL he reached his camp, and re-
ported the supposed discovery. His
companions soon perceived that he had
mistaken bull-frog for British soldier
and explained to him the nature of the
noise that had alarmed him. He wa.
rather lncredulous, and UNWILLING to ao
knowledge his mistake, he exclaimed ..;f
he was de bull-frog, how de dbl be knov,
my name ?'-Porttotio.

KUBLA KHAN.

In Xanidu did Kubla Khan
A stately pleasure-dome decree,
Where Alph, the sacred river, ran
Through caverns measureless to man.
Down toa sunless sea.
So twice FIVE miles Of fertile ground
With walls and towers were girdled round;
And here we're gardens bright with snuous rills
Where blossom many AN incense bearing tree
And here were forests ancient as the hills,
Unfolding sunny spots Of greenery.
But oh. that deep romantic chasm which slanted
Down the green hill, athwart cedarn cover!
A sav,re place. rs holy and enchanted
As e'er beneath waning moon was haunted
Nv woman wailing for her demon-loyer!
Aud fr,,m this chasm, with ceaseless turmoil see
thing,
A, if this earth in fast thick pants were breath
ing,
A mighty fountain momentiy was forced;
Amid whose swift, half intermitted burst,
Huge fragments vaul,ed like rebonnding hail,
Or cbaffy grain beneath the thrasher's fail;
And md these dAnclIb IoCksi ~ OlIS "'iH N'N'i
II flung up momentty the sacred river.
Five miles meandering with a May motion,
Through wood and dale the sacred river ran,
Then reached the caverns measureless TO man,
And sank IN turnult to a lifeless ocean:
And mid this tunult Kubla heard from far
Ancestral voices prophesying war.
The shadow Of the dome Of pleasure
FIoated midway on the waves;
Where was heard the mingled measure
FROM the fountain and the caves.
i was m racle Of rare device,
A sunny pleasure-dome, with caves OF ice!

Il was an Abyssinian maid,
And on her dulcimer she played,
Singing Of Mount Abora.

Her symphony and song,
To such deem delight I would win ne,
That with music loud and long,
! would build that dome in air,
That sunny dome! those caves Of ice!
Aud all who heard shuuld see them there,
And all should cry, Beware Beware!

The PoTATo.

The New York journal of Commerce
states, on the authority of dealer in
one of the city markets, that in no pre-
vious year has the potato rot been so de-
structive as during the present season.
Though the tubers may be fair on their
arrival, they soon give evidence of infec-
ton. A writer in the Middlebury (Vi.)
Register makes the complaint. The
form of decay now prevalent in Vermont
Is that known as " dry rot''-Henry
Gridley of Clinton, n. Y, has raised a
" Western Red" potato that weighed one
pound and ten ounces, and measured one
foot four inches in circumference.

summary Of its attractions:
There has been quantity of violent

were fifteen wounds in his neck, and five
IN the other parts of his body. A farmer
IN That district watching his growing
crops was carried off by a tigress. An
Undiscovered half of his body was eubse-

CUTTING CRAFTS.

The Country Gentleman says there is
no better time for cutting gratis than at
the commencement of winter. They
should be tied in packages and labelled,
placed on ends in box, with plenty OF
damp moss between them, and over the
top, and set in the cellar. There is no
material so good for packing them in, as
moss. The point of moisture to be
maintained is just that which will keep
them from shriveling-nothing more
