: A CHEAp BAROMETrR.-sombody
writes US to suggest that every far
mer has a cheap bsrometer-on
that be should pay more attention to,
since it is so unerriDg. He says:
Il think every chimney as good
an Indicator Of the changes Of Teath-
er as any cheap barometer. If
smoke is heavier than tne atmophere
it will, of course, fail to the ground
as soon as it is disengaged from the
beat which forces it through ths
chimney. When the fire is made
in the morning if the smoke IS seen
on the ground near the house, We
may conclude foul weather viii soon

Light her fairy form and perfect.
In its rich aud classic mould,
AS the Grecian Statuary
Won to life from marble cold. &
Fair her snowy neck and swan-like,
Bending with queenly grace;
One only rival has in radiance
And that rivals her face.
Black her tresses, and as glossy
Is the ravens sable wing,
Yet unbound and loosely flowing
Treble charms around her 2irs.,
Dark those matchless eyes, and beamint
With the smiles by Fancy wrought,
And their innocent expression
Speaks her purity of thought.

The NOblen,an Of Earth.

Inc NODICn2dn vi Lditu'
The truest noblemanof earth,
Is he who loves to be
The first companion Of the good,
The hero of the free;
Who works undaunted for the poor,
Who sees no rank in names;
Whose hopes ascend to heaven in crowds
As sparks fly up from flames
Give me that nobleman of mind,
Who loves noble cause;
The right of labor's sturdy sons
Aud freedoms righteous laws!
The hater of each evil scheme,
A tyrant may advance;
A giants strength about his heart, ->
Thoughts brilliant in his glance
love the nobleman of earth,
who strives to bless the age:
And leaves a glory that is caught
On history's faithful page!
Whose name the millions love to lisp,
Truths sure unfinching guest;
Who shines in love as does the sun
In palace of the West!
He's deathless as the mighty skies,
When jeweled through with stars;
Could feel Gods beauty in blaze
Burst through his prison bars ]
No mandate from the tyrant breaks
His spirit'supward bound;
While high on every liberal creed
bis name is blazoned round
And perjured kings may pass from earth
Their pomp and lnstre fade;
But natures nobleman unclasps
The cruel laws they've made. 49,,
His worshipped monarch is his Sod,
He leaves a name behind,
Flushed with effulgence that reflects
u;s majesty of mind!

RED CLAY.-A beautiful specimen

ned CLAf.-A beautiful specimen
Of this earth presented to the PRESS Office last
week by Harry Bluff of the Sailor claims 1t would
make splendid bricks and tobacco pipes, if there
enough of it. As is we'll known clay is species of
= earth containing sick and alumina, and sometimes
magnesa, lime, different alkalies and metallic oxides
Alumina itself is oxide of the metallic aluminium
base in which the specimen before is very rich This
metal, which is valuable alloy, was formerly
worth than gold, owing solely to the expense Of
separating and obtaining it in pure state. 1t is now
becoming quite cheap.

deep diggngs, are often much troubled by stratum

miners may we'll dislike it, for it robs them of many
dollar in the way of watermoney spent in efforts to
dissolve it, carrying off with its still undissolved
particles numerous scales of gold. Perhaps it is the
worst sluice robber in these diggings

THE WEATHER.-There is an inspi-
ring originality about this theme. Like q thing of
beauty, as Keats sang it is joy forever-with
paper paragraphists They your true philosophers,
who extract consolation from storm and disaster,
and grow quite cheerful eaborately gloomy des-
criptions of meteorological changes. But there has
been such an infinite variety about the weather lately
such feminine caprciousness that it has been i'm
possible to remain good natured and one is almost
forced into the belief that the clerk who controls these
atmospheric changes is some crazy old woman who has
. spite against helpless mortals. Spring is using
desperate endeavors to make her debut at last and her
glorious presence-selfluminous and odorous with fo-
raj sweets she shines through banks
Of eaden Clouds like sun-beams through cabin-chnks
and turns descending flakes to crystals of sill

THE COUNTY.

On Saturday last we gave in an extra full par
ticulars of descent made by off GERS Van Hagan,
Burrill and Boggs, upon band of robbers who
were in cabin near Grass Valley. One of the
robbers was killed, and two wounded, one of the
latter escaping with his companions, and the
other, who was badly wounded, being arrested
and committed to Jail. No additional facts of mo-
ment have since transpired
The Nevada Democrat gives the particulars of
a sad accident About half past eleven o'clock,
last Friday night, the 26th ult.. Messrs. Jacob B.
Brown and Francis H. Durgan. while at work in
Rogers diggings on American Hill. were buried
beneath slide and instantly killed. Mr.. Brown
was formerly from Manchester. N. H. !; has lived
in California since 1850, and was at one time
connected with the San Francisco press.
Nothing of interest transpirng at the county
seat. Chas. w. Young, the well known jeweller
announces grand gift concert, at which he will
present to ticket holders over three thousand dol
lars worth of jewelry. The Misses Webb have
been playing at the Theater. They are not very
highly spoken of.
twenty-five sluice boxes of the Gougeye Co
at Hunts Hill were robbed lately of S4OO or
$500, according to the Democrat. The same
paper mentions claims at Hunts Hill which cost
to open them $25 900, and in one instance have
since yielded the Astonishing sum of $250,0 1t
also states that almost every foot Of ground from
Hunts Hill to Sailors Flat, distance of six
miles. has been taken up during The past winter
for hydraulic mining, Water is now abundant
in that section.
