How TO PREVENT DUELLING.-Ra-
sey Biven, for charging base and I'M
equivocal falsehood upon one McMullen,
was challenged by the latter to an agree
able interchange Of pistol shots.
Biven accepted the challenge, and
chose duelling pistols at distance of
t,co feet. McMullen pronounced this
mode of settling difficulties "barbarous,"
and declined the combat The matter
was afterwards amicably arranged.

SAVE THE BIRDs.-The San 10

SAVE THE BIRDs.-The San Jose
Tribune thus advises farmers:
The principal, if not the only attrac-
ton which the birds find in your newly
plowed field is the plentiful supply of
worms turned out by the pillow. In de-
vouring these, they rid you of pest,
which can be extirpated in no other pos
sible way. A friend informed us the
other day, that he has been in the habit
for several years past, Of joining with
his neighbors in the usual destructive
onslaught upon the birds, and has every
year lost very large proportion of his
crop from the depredations of worms.
Last season he RETAINED from annoying
his winged visitants, and they appear to
have repaid his hospitality with servicesof
the most valuable kind. His crop of grain
this harvest was excellent, while the ad-
joining farms on either side were over
run and ruined as before, by the worms.
This fact is worthy of consideration.

DANCING A SIN.-Our religious CO.
temporary, the Christian Advocate-a
paper, by the by, that we always read
is very much exercised by intelligence
of dancing party, the proceeds of
which are to be appropriated to the sup
port of preacher. The Aduocate ex-
claims:
Dancing to pay the preacher! And he
an old Methodist preacher! Shades Of
the Fathers to what are we coming?
Dancing to support the gospel! Wen
soon lead the Jesuits. May be our lit
erary friend of mountain town, or his
eloquent and classical contemporary,
can tell us if this is sand,oiching the
Gospel,
No, we call that veneering the gospel,
it an attractive exterior. Let
us see what another religious journal,
the Presbyterian Banner Of Peace, says
on this subject of dancing:
There is no condemnation of dancing
to be found from the beginning of the
Old Testament to the ending of the New
Testament; but, on the contrary it is
sanctioned by the words and habits of
the patriarchs and psalmists of the orig
inal church; yet the orthodox church Of
this day denounces it as sin.
"Who shall decide when doctors dis
agree?"

OUR MOUNTAINEERS.

A glance over our State reveals a
spectacle which is quite singular in the
history of country so noted as North
America for its fertile valleys and broad
prairies, affording facilities for easy set
Element. We behold a considerable
body of people colonizing rough,
mountainous region, whose hills and
ridges and profound canyons border on
the limits of perpetual snow. There,
with unparalleled energy, they build up
towns, and villages, and homes; con-
struct nicely graded roads, which as
cend to the greatest attitudes by sinuous
windings; establish the various institu-
tions which characterize and advance
civilization; and invest themselves with
all the surroundings of steadfast commu-
mites
We know the magnet that drew them
past the richer soil and gentler-featured
lands of the east. They came for gold,
but they are now enamored of fair
skies, and healthful breezes, and eli
mate of unrivalled mildness. Winter
may be all around them, but his rigor is
softened; and instead of being forced,
like the tenants of Alpine lands, to flee
the mountains at his approach, they re-
main and brave his utmost. Even
should their habitations be whelmed in
snow, and neighborly communication be
impossible except by means of tunnels
through the white, translucent drifts,
these hardy mountaineers remain, keep
ing up glow of cheerfulness and wait
ing contentedly for the coming spring.
Women and children abide with them
amid these Arctic scenes, like the flowers
observed by Kane in the frozen regions
of the north.
The existence of such class of pop
ulation in our State affords cause for re-
joicing. Mountaineers have ever been
conservators of physical energy and civil
freedom. They appear periodically on
the field of history as the quickeners of
lowland life, infusing into the enervated
denizens of luxurious chimes more Wig
orous characteristics, restoring virtue,
and accelerating the progress of the race.
California will retain her mountain
population, and the Sierra Nevada,
whose glisteningsnow peaks sentinel the
blooming wales lying far below, will yet
nurture a native race, imbued with all
noble, energetic traits, and loving the
grand scenery amid which they were
born.
