RIcH QUARTZ DIscoyERY.-We have been
shown specimen from quartz lead recently
discovered on Rush Creek which bids fair to
prove the richest lead ever discovered in the
State The lead is from twelve to eighteen
inches in thickness, and has been opened
along the surface for distance of about ten
feet, and some six hundred pounds of rock
taken out, in all of which gold is visible The
specimen now before us, weighs some FIVE or
six pounds, for which the owners Of the lead
were offered hundred dollars, and we aro
informed it is just about the average richness
of the lead From fifty to hundred pounds
of the richest rock was packed two miles, to
where the owners lived, in buckets, and they
estimate that it contains from two to three
thousand dollars in gold, and from what we
have been told we should judge that this es-
innate is rather below than above the mark
The lead is about three miles from Nevada,
and was discovered about two months ago,
by Mr.. William b. Swan, who Immediately
formed a company and fourteen hundred feet
OF the lead was taken up and recorded With
out being aware Of the richness of the lead,
the company commenced running tunnel !;
some of the members becoming discouraged
sold out their interest and on 4. iday last the
remaining members concluded to open the
lead on the surface before going to more ex-
pense in running the tunnel On opening the
lead, they soon discovered that the rock was
surprisingly rich. They are now prosecu-
ting their work on the tunnel, which will
strike the lead about seventy-five feet below
the surface, and man is employed to con
stantly to watch the lead, to keep outsiders
from carry ing away the rock. The follow
ing gentlemen are the lucky owners; VIM.

"CoMING Events CAST THEIR SHADOWS Be
FORE. The Chicago Herald, and its black
Republican echoes, are struggling to give a
serious color to the report that douglas is
defeated" 1t is known to every one who
can read or hear, that the recent election in
Illinois was carried on the strength of Doug
las popularity, as well as on Democratic
principles. 1t cannot be denied that Doug
las personnel largely preponderated in the
scale. This will be denied by none but
knaves and fools. The voice Of Illinois on a
fair test and after an unprecedented struggle,
has Enthusiastically declared for Douglas and
National Democracy. In the face of this un-
equivocal decision of the people, the men who
seriously publish belief in the report that
Douglas is defeated" are to be pitied those
who do so for the purpose of misleading the
( public mind and to prepare it for the perpe-
/ tration of base fraud upon the people of
| Illinois contemplated at the approaching ses-
| sion of the Legislature, are to be scorned by
all honorable men as have been land will con
tinue to be as long az records exist and men
endure,) Judas Iscariot and Benedict Arnold !
We have faith in the honor cf those men
who were elected by the Illinois Democracy
on the express condition that they would
vote for the reelection of Mr.. Douglas to the
United States Senate Had this pleuge not
been made by them and accepted by the De-
mocraey, they would have been spurned -
Look at the record-what has been the fate
of those who refused to obey the will of the
Democracy We will not credit the mon.
strous suspicion that the pledged representa-
tives of the wishes of the democracy of Hi.
nois will betray them in the elimination OF
their proud victory In the mean time we
are prepared to bear the malicious eroakings
within, and the impotent rawlings outside our
organization, with the serene Indifference
one feels who is awaiting the consummation
of pleasing eertainty.-Dayton Empire.

The FARO PLAYERS SENT to- THE Court OF
SEssIoNs-Judge Coon took his seat to-day,
at 10 o'clock, precisely, anticipating perhaps
that the preliminary examination of the par
ties arrested for gambling on the previous
evening would occupy great portion of the
day. After the usual routine of business had
been dispatched, the defendants, together
with their counsel, II. H. Byrne, Esq, APP
peared at the bar of the court Their names
are-Edward Whipple, VIM Chapman, VIM
Silva, Geo. Sociscero, VIM. Smith, VIM. Duck
and John Johnston. Mr.. Byrne consented to
waive preliminary examination, and the de,
PENDANTS were held to answer before the
Court of Sessions. The first three being
charged with opening or dealing the game,
were held to bail in the sum of $1,000 each,
to answer for the commission of felony
The latter three for betting against the game
were required to give bonds in one-half the
amount, being charged with simple misde-
meanor-AHd. Wed.

An ACCIDENT TO STEAMER SENAToR.-As

cidentallyGan head on to the end of the
wharf at Fort Point, and carried away a por-
tion of her guards. The wharf was covered
with an immense quantity of brick at the

FEEDING String pIGs.--The best food
ior young pigs Is mik-frst from the
SOW and after tbs ends skim milk from
COWS. In al! changes Of the food of ami
mas, the transition should be gradual.-
Sudden changes always ijure. Pass
gradually from new milk to skim milk,
and from the latter 10 sour milk. IT
there is not enough skim milk and sour
milk for all the pigs 10 eat through the
spring and summer, then reduce their
number. Barley OF pea aneaI may be
gradually added and increased in Guanti.
ty. AS the pigs grow larger and the
milk decreases, grain takes its place
There is great mistake often made in
feeding milk to pigs, hy allowing slops
and dish wat er to be thrown into it, which
di!uIes it, and consequently the animal
cannot take in enough for lis most rapid
growth. Feed the milk in its concentra
ted state. We have known spring pigs
fed for tue first few months with all the
milk they could eat. and afterwards prop
ery fauened, ,ha, weighed 800 to $50
