REMARKABLE INSTANCE OF CANINE INSTINCT
The Detroit Advertiser is informed by a
roliable individual of a singular incident that
occurred, not long since, at Trenton, station
on the Detroit and Toledo Railroad A little
girl about two years of age, child of a
brakeman living near the road, got upon the
track and was in the act Of crawling across
the timbers that span n cattle guard, when
an express train appeared in sight coming at
fall speed. The engineer saw the child and
,ebistled down the brakes, but the train was
under such headway and so near, its destruc-
,ion would have been certain had not little
dog, a playmate of the child's, ran out,
caught the child by the dress and dragged it
from the track into the ditch, where it held
it until the train passed by This is one of
the most remarkable occurrences we have
heard of in long time.

DISMISSED FROM THE PoLICE.-Pcliceman
Lankenan wasyesterday arraigned, says the
S. F. Herald, of Thursday, before the Board
OfPolice Commissioners, charged with drunk
enness and neglect of duty After thorough
investigation of the charges, the defendant
was found guilty and ordered to be dismissed
from the Police Department Dr. Burk,
Chief of Police, availed himself of this oppor-
tunity to make few pertinent and well di-
gested remarks He emphatically impressed
upon the Police Department that he was
their head and chief, and that any complaints,
whether emanating from citizens relative to
the conduct of police officers, or whether ad
vanced by one officer against another, should
besmade to him, and to no one else but him.
lie stated that he intended rigidly to exact
the faithful performance of duty from each
and every officer and that all delnquencies
would be attended with immediate suspen-

CHEROKEE. Nevada Co Nov IL

OHEkOkEE, NcNdua 20, NOV. A.
EDITOR DEMOCRAT There are two Chero.
KEGS, one in Butte county, and one in Neya.
da; and they are and have been alike un.
fortunate as regards water for mining, never
having a supply for more than three months
in the year, and both places are said to have
in their neighborhood diggings that in rich
ness will compare with any in the State
But the time has come for this Cherokee at
last the time long looked for, hoped for, and
worked for, The Miners Ditch which is fed
from the Middle Yuba, will be completed in
n short time, which will bring water high
enough to work all the gravel hills, and sup
ply a sufficient quantity throughout the year
And your scribe would take the liberty o.
saying, that he knows of no mining commu
nifty more deserving of prosperity, for they
are kind, sober, moral, and enlightened
people. Cherokee isa pretty little town, anC
contains, also, some pretty ladies' 1t con
tains good concert room, a commodiou
school house. and a church, painted white.
There are a number of good looking young
men in the place, and it may seem rather
strange to announce that there are four vir
gins with whom as yet, no matrimonial con
tract has been successfully negotiated. They
are said to be under most excellent parenta
training and have been taught the nice dis
ordinations to be exei cised between a cash
less lover and one well fortified with eth,
ready"
However, it is supposed that the abun
dane of water now in the prospective. viii
have tendency to soften their disposition
towards few of the most worthy, who have
or, are reported to have rich claims
Your scribe has been informed by highly
respectable citizen, that murder has never
been committed in the town, nor has there
ever been single case of shooting or stab
bing, nor house of prostitution allowed
Will you not sly, worthy sir. that but few
towns in the State can say--in truth-sc
much And hear, another proof which
speaks for the moral disposition of the com
munity of Cherokee-the ladies, and but
very few Of the gentlemen, will attend pub.

GREEN PEAS IN THE CoUNTRY-The fine
rain we had few weeks since and the beau
tiful warm weather which has followed, is
bringing on the grass like the spring of the
year. Already the entire landscape around
about Folsom is covered with green Stock
will soon begin to do well, though this is the
hardest season of the year for grazing ami
mails. If such fine sunny weather continues
a few more weeks, there will be good sup
ply Of feed for stock all over the range of this
vicinity during the winter. Next year will
likely be an excellent season for grain, as
farmers have opportunity to sow as early as
they please; and we are confident that the
most of the difficulties which happen to grain
AS smut and rust, are consequences of late

RIon QUARrz-We were yesterday shown,
saws the Alta, number of specimens of rich
auriferous quartz, taken from the celebrated
BUCHANAN lead in Tuolumne county, about
.;xteen miles southward from Sonora. The
specimens shown are full of fine p rticles Of
gold, so numerous in places as to make their
color predominant in the rock. The lead
was discovered in April, and has yielded
since then some $4,000 or $4,000; though
the work heretofore done has been rather
prospecting than working. The owners OF
the lead are now putting up mill with
which to grind the rock. One specimen OF
the quartz weighing 4 IA pounds, was as
sayed at San Francisco and found to contain
1852. The specimens shown us weighed sew
eral pounds, and were supposed to be worth
$50 per pound, or at the rate of 100000
per ton. Of course, but small portion of
the vein will pay at that rate.

MADAME RIsToRI REvoLUTIoNIsL-A cor
respondent of London paper writes: "a
day or two since YOU were told that the Ven
etlans have recently displayed as much hos
UNITY to Austria as the Lombards, and the
following facts will serve to corroborate the
statement: Some days ago Signora Ristori
played judith, in Giacommetti's drama of
the same name in the Theater st. Samuel, at
Venice, and there was perfect storm of APP
plause when she pronounced the words,
Name my name to your children and tell
them that that war is sacred which is waged
by nation against people that invades the
country given unto to it by the Almighty. "
The noise made by the audience was tremen-
dous, and invectives against Austria were not
wanting There were loud cries of Encore,
encore!" but as the actress could not repeat
the passage without the permission of the
police, she left the stage in order to obtain it.
The Commissary was absent, and as the tu-
mutt continually increased, Ristori at last re-
turned to her post, and did what was requir-
ed of her The lady was rewarded for her
compliance by tremendous cheers but when
she quilted the stage she was overwhelmed
with reproaches by the Commissary, who
had returned to the theater Just after the
four lines had beed declaimed for the second
time The employee threatened to arrest
her, but the public was in such state of ex-
citement that he did not venture to put his
menace into execution. The end of the mat
ter was, that strict orders were issued bv the
police never again to give Giacommetti's

C The editor of the Sacramento Union,
who has lately been on visit to this place,
thus writes about our city:
MARVsvILLE The Improvements in our
sister city within the past three years have
been extensive, substantial, and, it may justly
be added, useful and ornamental The num-
Der of brick stores. hotels, etc, erected since
1855, as well as handsome private residences
of brick or wood, is so great as to surprise a
stranger For its size, Marysvlle unquestion-
Ably coatains more fine brick buildings than
any city in the State. Many of the stores
are large, and contain heavy stocks of goods
That city is now the head quarters of stage
operations in the State; coaches from differ
ent sections are arriving and leaving. filled
with passengers almost every hour in the day
and night. Indeed, the city presents at the
present time, quite an active and prosperous
business appearance. There does not, though,
Just now, appear to be much doing in the
way of building brick or any other kind of
houses
If the editor had visited the south east
quarter of the city, and few other points,
he would have thought differently, in re-
gard to the matter of his last remark.

HUMBUG CITY, Nov. 18th.

nUMBUG ClT1, NOV. l0Jn.
EDITOR DEMOCRAT Why this place re-
ceived the above name is not known to those
of whom inquiry has been made, but judging
from the deserted appearance of it, the infer
ence is reasonable, that many have been
humbugged. The city contains, if not quite,
nearly, two hundred houses; and it is safe to
say that one half of them are at this time
without occupants But, as there is cause
for every thing, there is one for this. As you
are aware, the only inducement for men or
families to settle in the mountain regions, is
the opportunity offered to accumulate fortune
from the mines. And you are also aware
that the prosperity of all mining towns and
cities is governed by the advantages to work
the mines in their neighborhood, and the
yield of gold when worked Now, the cause
of this city's being so prematurely forsaken
by its inhabitants is, from the want of water
to work the mines, which are rich and exten.
sive. But this difficulty is soon to be over
come for ever. The French Lake Ditch Co.
will soon have completed their very large
ditch, which will supply three thousand in
ches of water the year round, which is to be
sold at the rate of fifteen cents per inch The
Humbug Falls Fluming Co. are constructing
Aume eight thousand feet in length in Hum
bug cIeek. The flume is five feet wide and
thirty inches deep, with grade sufficient to
carry all the tailings which may be empted
into it throughout its whole length The
tailings will be precipitated over fall o
three hundred feet 1t is supposed that in
six months from one to two thousand miner:
will be employed on Humbug creek.
Very little drinking and gambling is going
on at this time in consequence of the scarcity
of men and money. Society is said to be very
much naked, and marriageable virgins very
scarce, for whom there is pressing demand
The five that were, have married and settled
They are said to have crushed great mum
Der of masculine constitutions by their awfu
attractions Three are said to have married
for cash considerations, and two for love
and so far there have been no domestic ernp
tons.

commodation of the strolling fraternity; and
there is also church, but no regular preach.
