YAccINAT1oN.-The Jonrnal Of Health
says that from extended and: close obserya-
tion, the following close deductions seem to
be warranted: ss.,s ..... .-., -.--~.
First, infantile: vaccination risean- almost
perfectzsafeguard until the fourteenth year.
Secoud, at the beginning Of fourteeuthe
system gradually lossesits' capabiityof~ re-
sistance until abeut twenty-one, when many
persons become almost as liable to small pox
as if they had not been vacciusted. A>
Third, this liability remains in full force
until about tforty two, when thssusceptibility
begins to decline, and continues for seven
years to grow less and less, becoming extinct
at about ffty-the period of life when the
general revolution Of the system begins to
take place, during which it yields TO decay,
ortakes new lease of life for two or three
terms of seven years each.
Fourth, the grand practical use to be
made of these statements is: Let every
youth be re-Vaccinated on entering fourteen;
let several attempts be made so as to be
certain of safety. AS the malady is more
likely to prevail in cities during the winter,
special attention is invited to the subject at
this time.

MINES IN THE VICINITY OF Ono FNo.-From
the subjoined correspondence in the Siskiyou
Chronicle, we judge that the mines of Oro
Fino must be pretty good place to stop at:
Orc Fino is a small town situated about
two miles east of Mugginsville and about the
same distance from Scott River south. The
town at present comprises one store, one bill
lard saloon, two rum shops, one hotel, n
blacksmith shop, livery stable, and last but
not least Division of the Sons of Temner.

are doing much good in their way to reform
society. There are at present about one hun
dred men at work here, and are all doing
well, making from five to ten dollars per dav
clear OF expenses. Wages are four dollars
per day. Water h 5 been selling for 30 cents
an inch, and the owners of the bitches have
brought 1t down to twelve and half cents,
thus enabling the miners to work ground
that would not formerly pay on account of
the high price of water. This will be Il de-
cided benefit to both miners and ditch own
ers. 1t will allow the miners to work and
the ditch owners to sell all their water,a it
Will also encourage mem to prospect We
believe that there are hundreds of acres of rs
good mining ground as there is in the coun-

miners, on account of the high price OF wa

without ever lifting pick to try the richest

have been here over year, and all who go

these are the best mines that they have met
with in their travels after the oro
There have been rich diggings struck at

are quite a number of miners at work, pre-

months into the mountain through solid bed

on the same range of mountains.
AT Etna, six miles south of the Pinery,
there are digglngs paying eight dollars per
day to the hand. They are putting up hy-
draulics on those claims, and are of the opin-
ion that they will pay well, as we believe ev-

LOCAL News OF YREKA.-The Chronicle, Of
Thursday, which has found its way down in
tolerably good time, says:
We have but very little news of local char.
acter to chronicle this week, that is in anv
respect peculiar from the transactions Of eve
ry day life. Business generally seems to be
on the increase, while, though we have not
heard of any special Strikes by miners, we
hear of favorable reports from nearly all the
mining localities in the county. There is
generally good supply of water, though
some complaints have reached us, of an in
suiiciency in this necessary element
Much business has transpired before the
District Court, during the session up to the
present time, and particularly has this been
the case for the past two weeks Adjourn
ment will probably take place to day; Ger
tainly this week.
BY noticing an advertisement in another
column, it will be seen that a special meeting
of the Board of Supervisors is called on the
9th of this month; in the session of which
they will transact any such business as would
be legal at regular meeting of the Board
Schools, we are glad to say, are actively
engaged, as apart from Others Miss Bradford
has again resumed her duties at the old school
stand. 1t is hoped that the bright and intel
lectual children who compose her charge,
will recommence the publication of their IL
tie paper-if not the "Autumn Wreath" why
then, The "Fireside Circle" or something of
the kind. Let them take their time, and be
sure that it is all their own.
Much anxiety is experienced in our politi
cal circles relative to the result of the late
election in Illinois, and though the steamer
and overland mail are both due, and proba-
bly, in at San Francisco, in consequence of the
broken condition of the telegraph for the past
ten days, we are obliged to "bide our time. .
We are informed, however, that the line will
be repaired by to morrow, when we will give
whatever news there is from the Atlantic
States, if at the Bay, by the immediate issue
of an extra.
The skies above Yreka have been alterna-
ting between clouds and sunshine during the
past week; now castinA the long shadows of
impending storm, and again lighting up our
beautiful valley with the bright aud warm
ing beams of a seemingly capricious yet fas-
cinating sun.

ANOTHER STABBING AFFRAY-A Mexican
woman named Trinidad Hernandez was bad
ly stabbed yesterday afternoon, about five
o'clock, by well known Mexican desperado
named Pedro Gorgonio The woman oceu
pies room in house on the corner of two
alleys, which cross each other, between Jack
son. Pacific, Stockton and Dupont sts. Pedro
wished to prevent her from living with ano.
ther man, and live with himself, but she re.
jjected his advances. He became desperate
and attacked her with a knife running after
her down stairs and for some distance along
the alley. She was stabbed number Of
times, once on the left thigh, several inches
deep again. on the left side, under the ribs
also, on both arms-the wound on the right
being four inches long and very severe. She
was injured SO much that the consequence
may be fatal
This Gorgonio has been living in the city
for many years, and has always been known
as cut.throat He has made a number OF
attacks with deadly weapons, principally up
on women, one about year ago. He has in
his time killed several persons, as he himself
says, and unless restrained, it would be no
wonder if he should kill a couple more. He
was arrested last evening by officer Wallace

Ep1ron DEMocRAr:-I have already made
some remarks about the necessity of protect
inc capital, in case we should need it for the
sake of property or other purposes. Not
enough can be said on 50 important a subject,
and you will therefore allow me to iutrude
again upon the space of your paper.
Whatever may be thought said written
and complained of in relation to moneycd
men-whatever can be objected to their
hardness in transactions-all, or about all. is
nonsense Money is sty, and shy the whole
world over, and before it is forthcoming it
demands protection and expects security
The administration of State, of county
or of city, should not play with matter of
this kind; it should, on the contrary, give it
the greatest attention and take the protection
of capital under its most serious considera-
ton, considering it even as vital question
for the welfare of Cities, States and Empires.
So, for instance is our new attachment law
as far from an honor to our Legislators and a
benefit to our State as it is from protecting
capital. Dishonest men may reap some profit
by it, but, to business men and other honest
people, it cannot fail to be most Injurious
Business men will be, and are already. ex
tremely careful in selling on credit, and many
even honest laborers are now refused credit
because there is no more protection Ihope,
however the necessary steps will soon be ia
ken by all business communities in this State
TO have this law repealed by our very next
Legislature.
AS often as laws are made for men as they
should be, as often will we see them turn in
favor of those who are dishonest Laws
must be framed for men as they are, if we ex-
pect any salutary influence from them, and
legislators should never forget that all men
are inclined to evil doing, and that new
State like ours requires laws of the strongest
kind
SO, for instance, would ask, are our In.
solvency, our Homestead laws framed for
men as they really are? Do not the most
outrageous abuses every day testify to the
imperfections of our nature? Do we not see
the most shameful abuses of these laws every
day in our midst and around us? Can a
sound business man, under similar laws, sell
his goods on credit to married men without
taking the greatest precaution If he does,
he will soon after have, himself, to take the
benefit of one of them.
AIN sorry to say that / cannot perceive
even the slightest intention of the legislator
in framing these laws to protect either capit-
al or honest creditors in general.
