LIVE FOR SOMETHING.

By CHARLES SWAIN.
Live for something, be not idle!
Look about thee for employ!
Sit not down TO useless dreaming
Labor is the sweetest joy.
Folded hands are ever weary,
Selfish hearts are never gay,
Life for thee hath many duties
Active be, then, while you may.
Scatter blessings in thy pathway:
Gentle words and cheering smiles
Better are than gold and silver,
With their grief.dispellng wiles.
AS the pleasant sunshine falleih
Ever on the grateful earth,
So let sympathy and kindness
GLADDEN. well the darken'd hearth.
Hearts there are Oppressed and weary |:
Drop the tear Of sympathy;
Whisper words Of hope and comfort,
Give, and thy reward shall be
Joy unto thy soul returning
From this perfect fountain head,
Freely, as thou freely givest,
Shall the grateful light be shed.

ANY person whose attention has been call

use Of light check rein, ought to have his
own head in similar position to that which
he has cruelty subjected the horse. IL

Author AND EDToR MuLcTED.-Thomas
Mooney, author of Moneys History of Ire
land, and editor of MONEYS Folsom and
Placerville Express, has recently raised quite
a sensation at Folsom, rather to his own dis
advantage. Yesterday he appeared in Po-
lice Justice Barr's Court, charging Thomas
McDonnough. VIM. Dresser and VIM. Masiin,
residents of Folsom, with threatening his life,
The defendants were tried separately, each
acquitted. and the cost taxed against Moon
ey Messrs. Cntlin g. Hooper appearing for
the defendants, and j. II. Stewart, Prosecut
ing Attorney and Barrister and Brown for
the People. 1t appeared from the evidence
and other collateral testimony that some
months ago, Miss McDonnough (sister Of
Thos McDohnough,) IL young lady of about
eighteen highly educated and accomplished,
came to Folsom to reside with her brother.
Having received her education in Convent,
and knowing little of the world, she was
easily persuaded by the fascinating Mr.. Moon
ey (who is over fifty years of age) to prom
Use him marriage. Mooney is represented chow
truly we know not) as having one or more
wives in the various parts of the world where
he has travelled The brother forbid Mooney
his house, some weeks ago, but the latter has
continued to have private interviews with
the young lady, and succeeded in inducing
her to attempt to evade her brothers pro-
lection. and throw herself upon his tender
mercies. This state of things brought mat
ters to crisis. and the many friends of
McDonnough began yesterday to seriously
talk of riding the renowned editor out of
town on rail. Dresser and Maslin called
on him about three o'clock, yesterday. and
Informed him Of the state of feeling among
the people. advising him to leave instanter,
which advise was taken. But upon arrv-
ing in Sacramento he swore out a warrant
against the aforesaid advisers, and charging
them as above stated Mooney caus d a
subpoena to be served on Miss MeDunnough
to appear before the Justice, to testify in the
charge against her brother; but she did not
appear. being in the custody of her brother,
who is determined that she shall not be cap
tured by the indefatigahle lover. large
numt er Of witnesses were in attendance. on
behalf of the defendants, and from the eX-
preston which we observed we should think
it poor business for Mooney to pursue his
designs upon the young lady any further.
Justice Barr. while proceeding to render
judgment in the case adverse to the prosecu
tiOn, was interrupted by Mooney, who was
evidently itching for an opportunity to make
speech. The Judge checked him, advising
him that it was too late to make any remarks
and thereupon ordered that the defendants
De discharged and that the costs of prosecu.
tlon be taxed against Mooney. At this there
was decided clapping of hands and stamp
ing OF feet throughout the room Some OF
tnose ID attendance wished to afford Mooney
an opportunity to make speech after the
Court adjourned but Justice Barr informed
them that If they wished to hear harangue
1t must be heard outside of his office. The
crowd then quietly dispersed. Union,

The DARK CELL.-We went into the black
hole of California. yclept the dark cell in the
station House yesterd ~ in company with
Chief Burke and a contractor, whom the for
mer desired to state VIII 1t sum he thought the
dark cell could be ventilated for, and which
would be the best manner ofeffecting so ne
cessary an object The contractor considered
that the best way would be, to cut through
the lower part of the cell, and make another
hole in the arched roof so hat tin or other
pipes may be carried through these and cor
responding apertures into the central court
yard of the City Hall. The cost. he calcu-
lated, would amount to about $3.50. This
matter should be looked after at once by the
Board of Supervisors. Drunken persons.
when unruly and excessively noisy, are plac.
ed in this cell, and during the whole night
breathe pestiferous atmosphere which must
be productive of disease. Some time ago a
man died inl that cell. Humanity demands
that some mode of ventilation be instantly
adopted, and the Supervisors should only be
too glad to have it done at the small expense
of $l50.-S T. AHa, Tues

INDIGNATION MEETING.-A very large qui
ct and determined meeting Of the citizens
and property holders of Scott Valley was
held in that locality on last Monday, the OBJ
iect Of which. when organized, was declared
to he an unrestraned expression of their con-
tempt for the manner in which many Of their
settlers were recently treated by one True
blood, who. at the late land sale held at
Humboldt Bay, took advantage of the reject
ed claims Of those who had settled and pre-
empted in good faith, run up said property
and bid it off, and contrary to the knowledge
of actual settlers. These men had used every
effort to pre-empt strictly in accordance with
the law, and because of intormality in the
proceedings of u Land Agent, they did not
expect such treatment at the hands of Il
neighbor.
Ihe meeting of citizens on this occasion
numbered between two and three hundred
persons, comprising most Of the actual settlers
of the valley Resolutions of determined
character were pissed, that Trueblood un-
willingly consented to deed over all such
lands as he had purchased at the rates he
had paid for them. after which the meeting
adjourned.
The meeting, though of positive and de-
termined character. was dignifed and har-
monious in all their proceedings They had.
however, met for transaeting business
promptly. and il was perhaps we'll for True
blood that he yielded to their demands -
