WEAV VILE
,ATsrRDAY MORNING, JTTNE 40, IS5S
False Siguniizcrs.

We are impressed with the truth Of THIS remark
by the Shasta Courier:
The Sacramento and San Francisco ncwspa-
pers have done more injury to the state in the
last month, by originating and keeping up this
Frazer river excitement, than they will be able
to undo III the next five years.
In this respect no paper has been SO culpable
as the Sacramento Union, coming daily, freight
ed with several columns of Frazer river ; every
letter written by unknown aud irresponsible per-
sons is copied in the Union, and scattered to the
extent of its circulation BY the constant re-
printing of Frazer river news late and eXcit
ing from Frazer river the mind of community
is wrought up to the dcplorabe and disastrous
excitement which is now prevailing in every place
invaded by the cursing transcripts To ensure
the sale of a few hundred newspapers the heart
less publishers would half depopulate prosperous
communities, and scatter among the crcdulous
industrious poor, fire brands, arrows and death
We do not think worth while to remonstrac on
the immortality and dishonor Of huckstering un-
truth, but we can assure the cntcrprising' pub
fishers of that and other Frazer river extras that
they are becoming the recognized enemies of
mountain business which they will be made to
feel in the most vital and vulnerable part-their
pockets They may excite and nlamo for time.
but the inflammation will, at length, consume them
selves. Already the suspicion exists that they
are hired by the steamship company to decoy the
unwary within convenient plundering distance
and from the salcable character Of some of them
we hardly dare contradict the humliating sus-
picion.
1t is no palation of the offence to say let per
sons who have good claims remain where they
are 1t is the man who has not n good claim,
who should not be overpcrsuadcd and misled in
to difficulties and greater privation and distress.
And how base must be the ncwsmongcr who for
the pitful price of his deceptive sheet, would
destroy the prosperity of neighborhoods that feed
him, and speculate in two-bit investments, on the
creduity and avarice Of the discontented and
unfortunate of his fellow men.

ny SAMUEL sLoCrM, OF GoSIlN RUN.
I'm sitting on the stile, Mary,
Sitting on the stile,
But the bulldog in the front yard
Keeps barking all the while
Why don't you tell yotr pa, Mary,
Or John, il he's about,
To ask old Sammy Slocum in,
Aud make the dog get cout ?
Notc I'm sitting on the fence, Maryi
Before the kitchen door,
But the pesky ugly bulldog
Barks louder than before;
And thought saw shadow, Nary
A shadow slim and tall
All arms and legs, like Reuben Brown,
Against the whte.washed wall.
If that is Reuhen's shadow, Mary.
If that was Reuben's shade,
Twill bring the 'spepsy back on me,
I'm very much afraid ;
oh, why this cruel treatment,
Why keep me in suspense,
Why don't you make the dog git cout,
And let me Off the fence?
And mammy's knitting stockings. now
To buy q cotton web,
One half the sheets are to be mine,
And half for sister Deb
And nanny says whichever one
First brings partner hum,
Shall have the punkcn blossom quilt
Say Mary, won't you come
-whillikinsl you'd ought to see
The rooster and the hen,
That Uncle Peleg Shakleford
Sent me by cousin Ben;
guess he wakes the folks around
When he gins out to crow =.
If he was here to blow his horn,
He'd bring you out, | know.
But Mary, if you won't have me,
And will have Reuben Brown,
/ guess as how there's other gals
That's wide awake in town;
But one thing You had ought to know,
Before turn my back,
That is that Prudence Pattingalc
Gin Reuben Brown the sack.

DEsCRGPTIvE OF MNGNG.--It is proper to state
that the mining articles on the fourth page of
this and several preceding numbers, although

write a better or more minute description now.
We never finished the series, commenced origin
ally in the Age, but intend to do so in this paper
after re-printing the Introductory. Miners viii
recognize them as minutely correct and practi-
cal they will, probably, convey clearer idea
to friends at home, as to how gold is sought for,
than can be conveyed by persons not skilled in
description of what is really most difficult to
describe so that others, never seeing, can under
stand the process.

LITTLE SoUIs.-Each little child is an element
in the great census Of the Universe, each an i'm
mortal intelligence that is to live on after the
earth has quit her orbit and whirlcd her inhabi-
tants to death In these little insignificant bod

henceforth coeval with the Godhead, and wander
away down among the arches and corridors Of
Eternity after the last biIow of time has walled
itself to death--something that will continue to
be after the last sentinel in the heavens has put
out his watchire and left the ovcrarching dome

SCoLDNG PAPERs.-Newspapcr neurology in

fault finding. 1t is not wise to sill like Dogcncs,

passer for the community soon reflect how ridic-
ulous il is for an ink and type monarch to attempt
the unlimited castigation of all creation. We
have become 80 accustomed to read disagreeable
things in one or two Of our exchanges that we
throw them out of the window unread; we had
rather hear the durnal complainngs of an old
rheumatic crone who hadn't spoken civil word

Tue NoHTH.-It is not wonderful that gold
should be found on Frazer river, since the country
lies on the range running coastwise from Patago-
MIA to the Arctic Ocean. In South America,
Mexico, California and Oregon, gold has been
discovered all along the Pacific slope. We be.
licvc that it exists through the uncxporcd region
to the frosty latiludes Of the polar sea Next
above the sources of Frazer river Mckcnzie's
river rises aud flows north 2500 miles to the sea-
discovered by that explorer in 1859. What n
bewidcring distance of Arctic sOlitude and as
gold is hidden in the most inaccessible places,
who knows but what millions are locked in the
frosty cav crns OF the north Crossing Behring's
Straits it extends through the Amoor country
and along the northern boundary of China. Ev-
or in the history Of the world has tho north been
full of grand associations; there Liberty with
iciclcs on her helmet has fought the fight of Free
dom; and now northward explorers are following
the track Of gold, which they will pursue until
the grating of antagonist icebcrgs admonshes
them Of frozen barriers

A PLATFORM OF IIANDS.-At a recent fire in
Boston, Mrs. Hickey was caught in tho third
story and could not escape by the stairc. Sc
She then went into the room Immediately un
der her own, and on presenting herself at the
window the persons below called on her to take
courage and observe their directions, and they
would save her. They then. to the number OF
SIX or eight, OF as many as could join, formed
circle each man extending his arms horizon

right, and with his left hand the LETT hand of

then told her 10 kneel upon the window sii,
and to incline her body in such Il way rs To
free her head from the wall, and to fall side
ways. All being ready, she threw herself from

back from the imminent peril to which each
was expOeed. All stood firm, and this poor

RARrY's METHOD OF TANNING HoRsEs.-
Having battered your colt and caressed him,
fasten his near fore foot with n strong strap
round TIC pastern and radius or forearm, fasten
his foot up safe, make him hop round on three
legs Till tired. When he is tired put strap with
moose round the off pastern, make him hop,
then pull the strap that's on the of pastern and
he will come on his knees. When on his knees
keep the strap tight that he cannot get his foot
slack to get up. Bear against the horse 5
shoulder with yours steadily and he will lie
down in a few minutes. When he is down stroke
him the way the hair lies. Take off the straps
as soon as he is down. You can now do anything
with him you wish, or beat drum on him, &c :,
without alarming him. Operate on your horse
in this manner as often as occasion requires

II A few days ago, a sailor mt a railroad
station, waiting for the next train, inquired of
bystander where he could get some liquor A
place near by was pointed out to him, and he
inquired If 1T was good. The answer was that
1t was such poisonous stuff that il would proba
bly, kill. A few minutes afterwards the sailor
called to negro who was saving wood near by,
and took him into the shop which had been
pointed out, where he treated him to IL drink
The bartender asked the sailor if he was not
also going to drink, but received a negative
answer, and both the visitors left Very soon
the sailor again made his appearance, called
for liquor, and was asked why he did not driRk
