every section of country abounds in persons pub
licly known, who have been restored from alarming
and even desperate diseases of the lungs by its
use. When once tried its superiority over every
other medicine of its kind is too apparent to escape
observation, and where its virtues are known, the
public no longer hesitate what antidote to employ
for the distressing and dangerous affections Of the
pulmonary organs that are incident to our climate.
While many inferior remedies thrust upon the

WILD PLUMs.-Some excellent friends at
Freeman's Crossing-honest, industrious,
and big hearted fellows all-have presented
us with bucketful of wild plums. This
indigenous fruit, which has been heretofore
described in our columns, is now ripe and
plentiful in the mountains of Nevada and
recently went on an expedition to the plum
bush, tramping jollly through the dust and
heat after an OK cart laden with good things
for the inner man. They were gone two
days, camping out in regular pioneer style,
having glorious time, and returning dusty,
hot and tired but thoroughly pleased.

KANSAS GOLD MlNEs-The Yreka Union
publishes the following extract from letter
written at Gregory's Diggings
"These mines are rich, but different from
those of California. Gold is found only in
quartz lodes and cresices, from SIX inches to
two feet wide, lying in straight lines from
northeast to southwest The quartz is of
dark color, rotten and porous. Some lodes
pay from S25 to $3.50 a day to the hand

The EASTERN SLoPE.-Our townsman, DR..
j. B. Warfeld, has received letter from
Carson City, giving an account of the dis
covery of more rich claims in that section.
Bilbo, Reed & Co. have located claim ex-
actly on the Gold Hill lead, as they think,
but about fourteen miles further South. Fa-
vorable prospects have been obtained, and
specimens of the quartz warrant the belief
that the discovererS have good thing.
There are great numbers prospecting all
along the Eastern slope, in the vicinity of
the NASSAU mountains, Carson Valley and
Walkers river. Those who em:grate thither
will have to endure the usual hardships and
possible disappointments of pioneer life, and
none who are unwilling to struggle through
such difficulties should go there, no matter
how glowing may be the inducements that
are held out.

FATAL ACcIDENT.-On Wednesday the 18th
inst, Richard Morgan left his cabin on Ore
gon Creek, about three miles from Free
mans Crossing, for the purpose of hunting,
taking with him double barrel shot gun.
He was not seen again until last Sunday
when he was found lying on his face, dead
about half a mile from his home The gun
had been discharged and was on the ground
near him. 1t is supposed to have exploded
accidentally whilst Morgan was leaping a
ditch, the contents entering his breast. He
attempted to reach his cabin, evidently, but
became exhausted, fell down and died where
he was found. Justice Variel of Campton-
vile held coroners inquest over the re-
mains, the jury returning verdict of acci-
dental death. The body was much swollen,
and had to be buried on the spot Deceased

NORTHERN DISTRICT FAIR.--Our readers
hardly need to be reminded that the Agri-
cultural, Horticultural and Mechanics Socl-
city Of the Northern District of California
will hold grand fair, cattle show and in
dustrial exhibition at Marysville, commencing
on Tuesday next, the 3Oth inst, and contin-
uing for FIVE days. Marysville demonstrated
her capacity last fall to equal all COMPETE
tors in getting up and conducting festivals
of this kind, and the present fair will doubt
less prove great success. The most COM
Plete arrangements have been made to rem
der it eminently useful and pleasing. We
hope to see the mining, manufacturing and
agricultural products of every northern
county represented there, and crowded at
tendance of all who desire to promote the
material progress of the State. The execu-
tive committee advertise that books will be
kept open for the entry of stock and articles
of every description, up to 10 o'clock A. NJ
Tuesday, August 30th. at the Pavilion; so
that persons in this vicinity who have not
yet forwarded objects for exhibition can still
do so. 1t should be matter of pride with
the people of the mining counties to pat
ronize the Northern District Fair, and to
publish through its means what they can do
not only in the way Of gold producing, but
in the cultivation of orchards, gardens, vine
yards and farms. They should not slight
such an excellent medium for informing the
valleys that the mountains also contain
homes and fixed communities and have a
prosperous future dawning upon them. Let
Marysville contain during the coming week
a full representation of mountain products
and mountain people. All who go there
will undoubtedly enjoy five days of pleasur-
able excitement

the field guns belonging to the artillery COM

quiet however. A council of war was held
at the Government House, Victoria, on the
10th inst, to take into consideration the

fortifying San Juan. Explanations from the
United States officers were strongly insisted

CHAMBERsBURG, Pa, Oct. &c.

Capt. John E. Cook was arrested yes
terday by Messrs. Dane, Logan, Clag-
GREET and Fitzhughes, at Montalto,
Franklin county, fourteen miles from
this place. There is no doubt of this be-
ing the man. His printed commission,
filled up and signed by General Brown,
and marked No. d." was found on his
person !; also a memorandum written on
parchment of the pistol presented to
Washington by Lafayette, and bequeath-
ed to Lewis w. Washington in 1851
The pistol, he says, is in a carpet-bag
which he left on the mountains. He was
fully armed and made a desperate resist
ance. He came out of the mountains to
obtain provisions.
He was much fatigued and almost
starved. He was brought to this place
about 8 o'clock last night. After an tx
animation before Justice Rusher, and be-
ing fully identified by one of our citizens
who formerly knew HIM, he was COM
mitted to jail to await a requisition from
Gov. Wise.
He acknowledged having three others
with him on the mountain. One of them
was seen and c~onyersed with. He had
a blanket over his shoulders, and carri-
ed a Sharpe's rifle and double barreled
gun. He said it belonged to his partner
who had gone for provisions. Parties
will start in search of the others to-
day.
