This is the law, and we have agreed to

over Blackstone's Commentaries and read

perhaps seen Wileox's Forms, had no hesita
tion in pronouncing it unconstitutional but
in the face of such distinguished authority
1T Is constitutional and it is the law Of the
land-that the highest and most intelligent
tribunals in the land had so pronounced it
so decided it, and there can be no doubt
about it."

POISONING STocK.-One of the most villain
Gus and inhuman outrages ever perpetrated
was related to us yesterday. About weeh
ago, some person having personal grudgt
against Messrs. John Walsh and Timothy
Riley, the proprietors of ranch about seven
miles below this city, on the east side of the
Sacramento river placed a bag, containing
barley and wheat which had been soaked in
solution of strychnine into the pasture
field of Messrs Walsh & Riley, and killed
five valuable horses and two colts, and Sc
rously iniuring several mlch cows. The
sack which had contained the poisoned grain
was found. and upon examining it, and the
contents of the stomach of the dead animals
the presence of strychnine was discovered

YOUNG's HILL, Yuba County, J
November 2Sth. 1850. {

NONeHlOeT ZoJn, 1907.
EDIroR DEMOCRAT Here from the north
ern end of our county, and surrounded by
the SHOWS of the Sierras your correspondent
writes Old Winter has commenced his reigI
with terrible severity, and by his piteous an(
angry howlings around our cabin doors
warns us to keep our wood dry and lay in al
extra supply of grub. For long time it was
hard to tell whether we were to be deluged
with rain or showed in, for during the last
two weeks each has visited us in liberal
quantities, but snow triumphed, and as |
write, grand old storm is raging without
gladdening the heart of the miner, and giving
Mother Earth chance to replenish her sub
teranean reservoirs.
This place should be reckoned amongst the
rich mining towns of Yuba county. Altho'
the days of rich strikes and big licks are in
the misty past yet many of our boys are
getting rich, and all who work get good re-
turns for their labor for instance, Allis & Co.
have cleaned up twenty dollars per day Lo-
gan Myers ten dollars per day, whilst Whit
comb & Co., Bliss d Co., Spencer g. Gray,
and others, are drifting and scraping bed
rock, and will clean up many a thousand dol.
lars just as soon as the storm is over. So
with these sure prospects of wealth before
us, many strangers are focking into our town
to help us reap our golden harvest. With
them come few of that gentlemanly (2) class
of the gen4s homo who. upon a consideration,
