DEATH OF G. W. S. CUMNINGs.-It is with pro-
found sorrow that we record the decease of our
cid friend, Though young in years. George W.
s. Cummings, of Yreka. The event occurred
on the first of the present month
We have known Mr.. Cummings from boyhood.
He was possessed of all the noble qualities of
heart and mind which adorn human nature As
lawyer he had not superior in Northern CAL
ifornia.
He was native of Lexington, Virginia,
where the sad intelligence of his untimeIy death
will fill his venerable mothers house with the
habiliments of woe and the sounds of mourning.
We believe Mr.. Cummings vas graduate of
both Washington College and the University of
Virginia. short time subsequent to his grad
uating in the Law department of the University,
he emigrated to Texas, where, in the practice of
the law, be remained for one year. In 1852, or
early in 1853, he came to this State, where he
has since resided, save for few months spent
on visit to his native State. Farewell, a sad
farewell to thee, our fr1end-lost to us, to kin
dred and to the world, forever.

Candidates for Legislative Offices.

Shasta county will this year present the
names of several of her sterling Democrats for
positions within the gift of the Legislature. If
we remember Alright, Shasta county has never
had the honor of furnishing one single officer
for either branch of the California Legislature,
except President pro TEN of the Senate.
The friends of John o. Welch of Texas
Springs, one of the most ardent Democrats and
truest friends in the county, have urged him to
present his name before the Assembly for the
honorable position of Sergeant-at- Mr..
WEIGH is undoubted admirably qualified in every
particular for the position.
The friends of NJ. Mullanphy, Esq, have also
persuaded him to present his name for the same
position. Two candidates from the same county
will undoubtedly damage the prospects ofeither
very greatly. Squire Mullunphy is one of the
Democratic fathers. His qualifications and
claims are unquestioned. We believe he once
acted in the same capacity in the Legislature of
one ofthe Western States.
Wm. McTurck, of this place, will present his
name before the Senate, for the the position of
Sergeant-at-Arms of that body. Mr.. Net. is
eminently qualified for the position. He has
assurances of support from various portions Of
the State, and certainly stands fair chance of
success. His Democracy dates back to his youth,
and has ever proved steadfast.

Beautiful Extract.

Some fifteen years ago, Rev. John n. Maffit,
then in his prime, delivered lecture which
closed with the following 6ne pages:
"The Phoenix, fabled bird of antiquity, when
il felt the advancing chill of age, built its own
funeral urn, and fired its pyre BY means which
NATURES instinct taught,
All its punage aud its form of beauty be-
came ashes; but ever would rise the young
beautiful from the urn Of death, and chambers
of decay, would the fedgling come with its eyes
turned towards the SUP, and assaylng lis dark

Lovely voyager Of Garth, bound on its heaven

SO rises the spirit bird FROM the ruins of the
BODY, the funeral urn, which its Maker built;
and death fires. So towers away to its home

of eternal bliss.
So shall dear precious humanity survive from
the ashes OF burniug world. So beautifully
shall the unchanged soul soar within the disc of
Etcrnity's great luminary, with andazzled eye
and unscorched wings--the Phoenix of immor-
tality-lsken to its rainbow home, and graded
on the beating bosom of eternal love.

Whisper 1t rot 10 the birds and the breeze

Hear the sad tale tho ugh its burden be true,
Summer is dead
Hush for the sea bath suspended its breath,
Feering to catch the FIRST summons Of death
And the bright clouds that are passing away
FaD must drop tears could they bear what you say,
Summer is dead
Aye though her mtntle Of glory be still
Spread over garden and meadow and hill
Though the rich bloom hath touch of decay,
And the bee tolls through the long sunny day,
Summer is dead
Aye II is ended From forest and glcn
From cities alive with the conflict of men,
From The grass at cur feet for the now silent bird
From earth, sea and sky, in cur spirits is heard,

Her crown and her girlsnds unfsded hung
Where they dropped when aside they were careless
