Of insult and reproach. and finally concluded
BY placing the muzsle of his gun to the BODY
OF Nelms and firing . second time. This
shot produced instant death, and so close
was the gun to the victim that the flesh OF
the murdered man was burnt by the explo-

FRIENDsBIP.-Int In the matter of friend
ship, [ have observed that disappoint-
ment here arises chiefly, not from liking
our friends too well, or thinking of them
too highly, but rather from an over-esti
mate of their liking for and opinion of
as; and that if we guard ourselves with
sufficient scrupulousness of care from er-
ror in this direction, and can be content,
and even happy to give more affection
than we receive-can make just comparl-
son of circumstances, and be severely ac-
curate in drawing differences thence, and
never let self love blind our eyes-I think
we may manage to get through life with
consistency and constancy, unembittered
by that misanthropy which springs from
revulsions of feeling. All this sounds a
little metaphysical, but it is good sense if
you consider it. The moral of it is, that
if we would build on sure foundation
in friendship, We must love our friends
for their sakes rather than for oor oaom J;
we must look at their truth to themselves,
full as much as their truth to US Char

THE BIG TREE ROAD FUND.
MURPHY's, March 21st, 1853

MURPHYS, March Zlst, 1858.
Mr.. Editorials newspaper is an oracle
supposed to know everything, when properly
consulted, and expected to give the public the
benefit of its knowledge; and as every benevo-
lent Editor, (of which number hope You are
one) is expected to find out, what is a myth to
everybody, and impart the information to those
who want it, l hope you will excuse my asking
a few questions:
You have undoubtedly heard of the Big Tree
and Carson Valley ad,-and perhaps have
seen it? You probably know that there was
party sent out to work on it, last Summer,
with Mr.. Shcarer as Superintendent; who put
it through, in right shape, as far as they work
ed,-for they did not stay long enough to
finish it through? Your humble servant was
one of that party, and did several DAVIS hard
work, II not more; we heard glowing accounts
OF the subscriptions" with which we were to
be paid, for our labor; but now we seldom
hear of them, and still more seldom see any,
thing which denotes their existence.-thev
come In very slow,-if they come at all. It is
now nearly ten months since we went ont on
the road, and We worked three and-a-half
months and have received but one months
pay from the so-much-t -talked-of subscriptions:
and hall months pay donated by the county.
Now, Mr.. Editor, wish to ask you if these
magnificent subscriptions" were all ho-axo
or will not the subscribers pay or don't the col
lectors call on them for it, or have they col
iected and forgotten to pay it to the Treasurer?
Now, cannot you give those subscribers word
OF good advice? viz: to pay what they have
agreed to, or at least part of it; tor have
heard that there was twice as much subscribed
as required topay all expenses; or, if it is the
Collectors fault, stir them up little tell them
to look down in the bottom of their boots, and
if they find anything there that they had for
gotten all about, to reckon up, and if there is
more than will pay them for the trouble of col
lecting, to procure the balance and fork it over
to Mr.. Senter, the Treasurer, as soon as con-
venent. This is but right and just and what
we wish, in order that your humble servant
and his co-laborcrs, may each receive their re-
spective share, of what belongs to them, and
go down, in the fullness of their gratitude, to
the lager-beer saloon, we concur, and join in
and rejoice in the peoples liberality Do this
and you will greatly oblige us all, especially,
one OF the party, WORKING MAN.
