Mr. EDIroR Mot with budget of alarm
ing news, but things of fact, of fancy, and OF
gossip newly born.
1t is said that unless the State Legislature,
at its next session, show good cause why Sier'
ra county should not be divided, demon
stration to settle the matter will be made at
home, and it may be so. So confident are
the citizens of this place that it will be done,
a fund is being raised for the purpose of erect
ing "A court house and Jail, to be built of
quartz rock cobble stones. The latter insti
tuition, in any case, will prove desirable, at
least that opinion is general Though your
communicant would not wish TO be under
stood in his remarks as desirous of casting a
discreditable reflection upon the character of
the ungodly community amongst whom he,
for the time being, resides, yet they are so,
There is no church in this town but the bar
room in which the 0vermyre murder was
committed is used for that purpose, as it
were, to cleanse it with the word of God, from
the foul stigma that rests upon it. 1t is said
that church will be built, in time, and it
may be so.
There are many spiritualists in this eoun-
ty who allow the spirits to enter them in
liquid state; but it is said there will, in time
be an orthodox revival, and it may be so.
A quartz vein has been lately found near
Newark, andis now being prospected, and
the prospects are said to be of very encour-
aging character.
1t is said that Nelson Point is quite lively,
and Improvements are going on preparatory
to the coming season, which gives promise of
being the best yet known, and it may be so.
1t is said that the fuming companies on
the east branch of Feather river have proven
failures, and losing operations this season;
this is fact to be regretted, for much hard
work has been done. But politicians say that
hard labor is democratic-ha ha ha! it
may be so--but they seldom try it-nOt if
they can get treasury to rob-steal all the
school funds that the rising generation may
come up uneducated. There is truth in this
truth most shamefully true.
The Mammoth Slate Greek and Eureka
quartz mills are doing very well; the aurif.
erous yield is gloriously satisfactory, it is
so said, and it may be so. And it is fact,
that for the above named institutions, some
two hundred tons of machinery have been
packed through this town within the past
week. And still another fact-that not one
single pound of the above mentioned ferre-
Gus substance belongs to your miserable com
municant But his aspirations are, that his
fame will be roared out-"not in dismal
helr-when quartz mills will have ceased
their clamor, and it may be so.
An occurrence of much importance is ex-
pected to transpire in this township soon--a
marriage--a fact, alas, fact too true. There
will be many sad hearts, that all the potent
powers of lager connot again make joyous;
and there will be one bosom crushed-irre-
parably crushed yet it must be So The
said young maiden of but sweet fifteen has
conlescended to accept her ninety enth
lover. What do ye think of this, ye maids
of Maine, of Massachusetts, and Connecticut
Why do ye not cry until your mammas send
you to this awfully prolific and matrimonial
where We ali will be able to get a
hard craw-fsh-fsted vagabond fol husband
Come, come; for God and mans sake, come. |
The country is i'll need of daughters for her
sons! Thus he crieth, who crieth in vain.
