The Central Overland Mail coach, in charge
of Lindsey, with Eastern mails and four
passengers from Carson Valley, has just ar
rived.
The mail left Salt Lake Oct. 25th but as
there are no through passengers, am unable
to obtain any later news from Mormondom,
except that policeman Cook, recently wound
ell bv a teamster named Mcdonald, had died
from the injury. The murderer had not
been arrested.
On the 18th Of October, the bodies of two
men. named Josiah Call and Samuel Brown,
of Fillmore City, were found near Chicken
creek, twenty miles south of Nephi, scalped
and mutilated with bullets and itis supposed
they were murdered by Indians.
The Desert News, of Oct. goth, says the
Pike Peak gold excitement was on the in.
crease.
The same paper announces the arrival OF
Senator Broderick, and states that the hos

him during his temporary sojourn.

ALBERT JACKSON, son of ]. j. and Nancy Foster,
born Sept 9th, 1858 in the town of Jasper, Jasper
county, Texas departed this life in the city of Peta-
luma Sept 30th, 1858, aged five years and twenty
five days
Also, October 10th, MARY JOSEPHINE, daughter of
the above bereaved parents, aged seven years. four
months and twenty four days; born May 25th, 1851,
in the town of Jasper.
Such are the ravages Of death. Cold and heavily
has he laid his icy hand upon the hearts of these
deeply afflicted parents In few brief weeks, a
household desolate and lonely, and its once cher
ished jewels hid away in the repose OF the tomb.
Side by side, beneath the spreading branches of the
California oak in a quietsp they sleep the sleep Of
DEATH freed from the cares, perplexites, and dsap
pointments of this deceptive world. In this affective
dispensation, the parents in particular made to
realize the vanity and uncertainty of things earthly
Around their children were entwned the tenderest
chords of parental affection. The merry voices OF
these little prattlers In their childish sports and gam
bols, constituted the light and JOY of the household
and their early intellectual development watched
and admired with no ordinary degree of gratifoa-
ton. "But now they are dead" ana in view of their
present exalted reatiOn-hers of an Inheritance il,
Heaven children of the ever-blessed God - why
should the parents mourn? Bid sorrows tears cease
to flow, and with unbendng frmness, strive to bind
in Heaven again, Thy earthly household, made
desolate and dreary, by the ravages of death.

A QUARTZ CoNvEnTIoN.-Il is gratifying to
observe the increasing interest felt by this
community in the development of the quartz
treasure of the county. New claims are To-
Gated, and preparation is making for early
operations on claims previously taken up
Working men and capitalists are awakening
to the Importance Of this branch of mining,
and the unsurpassed richness of the loGes on
the upper Yuba. Next season will more than
double the present number of active compa
nies in these quartz lodges and the prospect
now is that in that time the amount of ma
chinery employed will be more than doubled.
While new companies are forming and new
claims located on the ledges now traceable,
there are difficulties met which in some mea-
sure impede the rapid development of this
class of our resources One of these Difficult
ties is. the recorded existence Of claimants to
ledges in many parts Of the hills where par
ties wish to commence operations, which
claimants, however, have no apparent exis-
tence save on the record in the County
Clerks office. Another difficulty met is the
loosely defined rights of claimants, all which
is to the disadvantage of earnest and enter
prising workers.
To remedy this state of things a convention
is proposed, to consist of representatives of
all quartz claims in the county, SO far as such
representation is practicable; the convention
to consider the relative protection now en-
ioyed 10y quartz proprietors, what further
protection may be required, how to secure it,,
what rules may be made for working, extent
of claims, how long to Ge held without work
ing, and so forth A great deal of good
might be accomplished by a convention OF
this kind. What is now confusion, in titles
and the like, could be made plain; and every
one enabled to know exPctly what he was
putting his money or labor capital into.
Another change might be made, which
would be a further check upon fabulous and
untenabe claims to quartz leads. Let the
County Surveyor be made recorder for quartz
claims, instead of the County Clerk Besides
having more time to attend to the business
the Surveyor is by necessity conyersant with
the topography of the county, and when
about to record set of claims, he would first
know exactly where they were located-the
relative position they sustained to other
claims-whether there existed any prior
claim to the same property and he could also
designate the particular lead-its direction
and so forth.
Let some of those most interested in the
matter call convention to consider these
things. Let all quartz claimants see to it i;
new record made of all bona fde claims, and
such regulations be made as will insure sys-
tenn hereafter, in place of confusion.-S'errd
Democrat, Saturday.
