ARREST AND RESCUE OF DEFAULTER c. +. LYNN.
The Mendo (Ill.) Press relates the following
particulars: United States Deputy Marshal An
derson, (H. w. Anderson, of Weaverville. appoin-
ted specially, we suppose,) arrived there in pur-
suit of c. F. Lynn, defaultiug Treasurer who stole
$4,000 from Trinity county. Lynn was found at
Lee Center, in Lee county, and two citizens of
Mendoza were engaged to arrest him, as he was
known TO Anderson and might escape The arrest
made some excitement among returned Califor-
mans who, armed, declared that Lynn should not
be taken The officers were arrested for attempt
to kidnap, and were placed in charge of one
Frost, an uncle of Lynn, who is United States
Marshal for Illinois, Frost promised that Lynn
should be forthcoming, but permitted him to
escape. Anderson went in pursuit, and believes
he will finally secure the defaulter.
A son of Marshal Frost formerly resided here,
and is, we presume well acquainted with Lynn S
transactions. The Mendoza Press will receive
copy of this paper, and will, we trust, make known
that the elder Frost has nefarously aided in es-
cape of a defaulter and stealer from the treasury
of this county, and should be held responsible
for his escape.

GOLD Blocks" FRIEND, HATTIE-In an inter
esting article for the Hesperian .Magazine, " Old
Block" mentions his little friend, "Hatte."
Now, we know who Hattie is; she isn't sylph,
nor yet an angel, but she is a beautiful little girl
who lives up on the hill, back of " Old Block $"
banking house, at Grass Valley. All we forget
'Tis three years since we saw Hattie; she's
young lady now, and, we venture, beautiful
one. Mr.. Delano who delights to be called Old
Block" and who is celebrated for big heart and
long nose, is the friend of all the little people
thereabouts. Even the hardening process of
money changing cannot weigh down the little
trap door through which innocence and beauty
descend to the spacious chambers of his heart.

THE HEsPERIAN MAGAZINE is here and for sale
at Greenhood's. 1t is the handsomest Ladies'
Magazine in the United States-so far as our oh.
scrvation has gone. The elegance of the title
page is unequaled by any magazine of our ac-
quaintaince, and the engravings are perfections
of art High as we have estimated the artistic
capacity Of this State, we were not prepared to
expect so complete execution. The tite-page is
especially, worthy of remark the IIesperide,"
or Three Maids of the West are represented ga
thering golden apples in the garden Of the Occi-

of the early settler of 1884, George G. Yount,
is an elegant production by the editress, MRs

RECEIVED SMALL FAVOR. -Assemblyman Plxley

he admitted that one purpose Of the bill was to
place mining claims in the way of taxation This

take Mr. Pixley by the hand, they can now do SO;
bat we presume the miners will be enabled to
get along quite evenly without being thus

man of much ability, is advancing the pet

Music IN THE HousE.--Passing by private
dwelling, one evening lately, we heard strains
of sweet music being performed by a circle Of re-
latlves and friends within its walls The tender
pathos of a woman's voice, and the earnest tones
of mans mingled barmonously with instrumental
touches, and made throbbing melody. The
dwelling seemed animated by painting soul,
whose luminous presence shone through the cur
tanned windows
What can sanctlfy house like music ? Next
TO love- which il inspires what can invest tho
home circle with such charm, and leave such
odorous memories in the heart? Happiness may
exist without it., but what tender grace il loses
And when, in after life happiness is no more
then a remembered perfume, the songs once sung
about the home hearth return to us rs its very
echo, rousing sentiments else dead forever

to the genius of Bryant. A person who writes so
beautifully himself must be competent to nicely
adjust the balances in which men Of genius are

Of the most beautiful poems that we have ever

NOuuIy scat.
Our columns are open for the discussion of
this important question. The Times is for Gar.
navillo because that is admitted to be the best
place for it with the county in its present shape
and size. and it is not probable that its shape
will be changed for many years and perhaps
never. We think so rich County as Clayton
ought TO have Public Buildings somewhere and
We believe the point indicated is the proper
place TO Put them. We have no feeling or in
tcrest in the matter aside from the motives that
ought TO actuate every one who desires to see
the affairs Of his county conducted in a credi-
table manner. All sorts of selfish arguments
are used in contests of this kind and votes are
obtained in any manner possible. We make no
appeals to the sel6shness of any one. If Gut
tenberg is decided to be the best point We want
to see the Court House, Jail. &C., put up this
summer, and thus dry the subject up. If Gar
navillo is the place desired by the majority of
the people. put the buildings there. We do not
