Nor FoRGETFuL TO ENTERTAIN STRANGERS
Weaveryillc is the most hospitable little place we
ever saw. Every stranger who comes to the
place. and is known to be deserving, finds atten-
tive friends who, unasked, entertain, show him
about adjacent mining places likely to interest
him, and send him away with an exalted opinion
of mountain hospitality, and of the number of
good fellows who can afford the expenditure of
time and money.
We were at supper the other evening, given
to some gentlemen of Shasta by citizens of Wea-
verville, at which eighteen men sat, who, in all
that is admirable in character, are not excelled
by the same number of residents in any Caliior-
MIA town. This provision of expensive attention
is in part, accounted for by the fact that Wea-
verville has not yet begun to descend to the pic
ayune caution required in waning places. Our
people make money and are prosperous, and an
individual who, having the ability, is not hospi-
table and generous, is reckoned a nobody.

WE ARE GLAD THAT He HAS CONE BAcK-H.
J. Seaman, one of the founders of this paper, has
returned from New York, with his wife, mother
aud sister. to reside in Weaverville. He has al
ways enjoyed extensive popularity in this
county, and though personally stranger to us,
we have heard all speak Of his manly character
with admiration and approval He and his will
have kindly reception from many good citizens
and their wives who have made their homes car
lier in the West. There is no more admirable
spectacle than that of young man who in ad-
venture has helped to mark out the way of po-
neers, returning from the old home bearing the
household gods, and leading her by the hand
whose heart bounded at the first totterng step
of his infancy. Such an one is the Columbus of
a mothers empire, and in the lengthening sha-
dows OF strange hills, and in the timorousness Of
Increasing age, she may rest without fear under
protection of an arm like his.

Dyspepsia Cured
From Joseph Hoxie, New York City.

NEW YORK, July 81.
GENTLEMEN: Having suffered many years from,
repeated attacks of Dyspepsia in its worst form,
and almost exhausted my hopes of being able In
obtain any permanent relief, was induced to-
have recourse to the Oryyen0ted Bitfers, prepared
by Dr. George b. Green, for which you are
agents 1t gives me great pleasure to say, that
its effect upon me has been highly beneficial,
erad;cating the disease, and restoring me to good
health and sincerely hope that all who may be
suffering from that dreadful disease will be in.
duced to give the medicine trial, fully believ
ing they willnot be disappointed in the result.
JOSEPH HOXIE, No. rs Wall st.
Such testimony as the above is entitled to the
confidence of Dyspep.ics, and proves the efficacy
of the OrHgendted Bitters. Mr.. Hoxe is well
known as highly respectable citizen.

Miners DTTcH.-It is entirely possible to
have abundance Of water in the Weavervile Ba-
sin, all the year, without dollar of outside cap
ital. There are several scores of miners in this
county, who have from five TO ten thousand dol
lars each. If twenty-five or thirty Of them would
unite, giving $1,000 each, and undertake to bring
in the waters of Stuart's Fork, they could finish
the enterprise and own property which, for twen-
ty years, would pay an enormous interest on the
money and labor invested. They can tell, better
than we, what it would pay. We make the sug.
gestion for their consideration.

somebody else did the raking. A correspond.

therland, residing on the Bar, and that no prov

unwomanly. She is quiet, modest, sociabe and
kind, and is noted for every moral attribute re-

MISSION OF LITERATURE.-The ensuing fine pas

MISSION OF LITERATuRE-Ihe ensuing nne pas
sage is from the Hesperian:
The office Of literature in its most extended
sense, is as wide spread and universal as civiza-
ton itself. 1t surveys and records all the events
which the varied relations Of human life bring
forth it dclineates whatever is real and actual,
and presents pictures of life and manners drawn
alike from the palaces of princes, tee throngs of
cities, the tents of the Tartar, or the caravan of
the wilderness 1t presents panorama Of the
world, shifting from mountain to cataract-from
the bending flower to the tall fir, 8 fit for the
mast OF some proud Admiral 1t observes and
depicts the present but its power is not restrict
ed. II records and cassiies the past it portrays
the rise and fall Of empires il tracks the ad-
vance and halt of civilization it tells the great
story of the contest for Constitutional liberty, and
loves to liuger by the grave of Iiampden or the
tomb Of Washington. 1t is the treasury of the
merchant who seeks new ventures it is the pro-
phet Of the politician, and the rewarder Of the
statesman. who may read, while he yet lives, the
verdict which an impartial posterity may catch
from its lips.

THE HEspERIAN.'-We have received very
beautiful little semi-monthy paper called The
Hesperian,' edited at San Francisco by Mrs. A..
N. ShuItz and Mrs. p. II. Day. 1t is devoted to
the interests of women and is most mertorious
publication. Both editors are writers Of great
refinement, and known as such in this State. We
consider Mrs. Shultz the best female writer of
California her Song of the Flume has never
been excelled here.

THE CALIFORNIA STATESMAN is fine paper
very different in appearance and character from

There were a rousing set of the people in high

advance to-day, we shall be willing to agree that
