@-The NJ. Y News" gives an ac.
count of an English traveller who fell in
with on old servant Of the poet Burns,
who related the annexed interesting Incl
dent in connection with one of the Scotch
bards happiest little efusions. Said the
servant:
"You have read the poem of THE
Mouse?" answered that had. Then
pointing with his whip to spot about six
yards from the roadside, "That," said he,
sis the very rig where the mouse was
turned up. Burns was holding the plow
and was driving the horses. When il
sprung out attempted to kill it. Let il
alone cried Burns, what harm has it done
you? He then got into musing mood
and / did not get word from him the
whole afternoon. About o'clock in the
evening, when was littering the horses
and giving them little oats and hay
Burns came into the stable and read to me
the poem of The Mouse and then said
what do you think of the mouse now?
Very much indeed replied; Il am glad
L did not kill it, On leaving the stable
he said, Never do cruel thing of th'
meanest of Gods creatures

AuRARIA City, *. T., Jan. 10, 1859.
We have had most pleasant winter.
No suffering whatever has been expert
enced by our friends. On the contrary,
all have enjoyed most fine health, and are
in excellent spirits.
Day before yesterday it was warm as
summer. Yesterday the thermometer
stood above summer heat, and to-day il is
as warm and more agreeable than either OF
the previous days, the heat being tempered
with delightful breeze. 4
/ Some persons have already commenced
working in the mines; but 80 far il pays
poorly. Diggers who have been the most
successful have not averaged three dollars
per day, and some have not made fifty
cents. working hard at that The gold is
very fine. 1t takes from go to 25 parti-
c!es to make the value of a cent. The
largest speck which have heard of, will
not weigh more than 25 cents in value
All the large Jumps that you have received
in st. Louis, as Pixies Peak gold, was
never obtained in this region--they belong
to California. AL the accounts of gold
findings of an extravagant character, are
the fabrications of spectators. wish to
put you and others on their guard against
those stories; especially Gen. Larimer's ac-
count. will venture to say that he does
not know anything about the matter.
have not found.a good prospect yet; ard

diction that few persons will make fortunes
hunting gold in This country. But as
"seeiDg is believing" let all who wish to
have sight at the elephant" come op.
l am beginning to get view of him.
There are more than two hunered cab
ins built here; and two hundred more are
to be erected before the last of March. A
good hotel will be ready for "the board
ers" by the end of May. 1t is to be two
stories high, seventyfve feet in width,
and one hundred and twenty feet in length
Spectators are already busly engaged in
laying off cities around the diggings, and
they are the fellows who are sending TO
the States such glowing accounts of gold
discoveries.
If enough of gold is not found before
the latter part of May, many now here will

zona, while net few will pitch their tents
in this new region for life.

affray going on about two squares from my
cabin. Three or four men have go! into a
quarrel. and the report of pistols is dis
tinctly heard. If anybody has been hurt,
l will write you the particulars.
The principal amusement here, during
the winter. has been card playing, telling
yarns, and drinking most execrable whis-
ky. The latter is worth $40 per gallon

ADVICE to the legislature.

Under the above caption, nearly the
entire press of Ohio are copying the re-
marks of the editor of the "Ohio Patriot, -
a Democratic paper, published at New Lis
bon, Ohio, and making sarcastic and com
plimentary remarks upon it. This is
the editor to whom the Legislature pro-
pose donating leather medal, and this
the article for which the donation is pro-
posed. We think. however, in considera.
ton of the unusual quantity of truth
contained therein, and being SO different
from most positions taken by Democratic
editors, the resolution before the Legisla.
lure might be changed SO as 10 substitute
oeUter, at least, as the material Of which
the donations should be composed. Hea,
Brother Woods:
"ADJoURN! ADJouRNl-From present
in dications, our sapient but unfortunate
law makers at Columbus, will put in the
winter at their delightful occupation OF
spending the peoples money. They are a
set of as arrant humbugs as ever got four
dollars a day. They could have finished all
their bnsiness in two weeks, and closed
the extra session before now, to the entire
satisfaction Of their constituents. We
have no do, bt many things in the laws oi
the State could be improved; but the peo.
pie could get along very well without any
of the proposed revisions--and from the
apparent want Of discretion in the legisla-
tive body, this winter, at Columbus, we
doubt their ability to benefit the people il
they would live at the capital an entire
year. Their refusal to comply with the
expressed wishes of the masses that they
should hold sbngt ses<ion Nahaaf that
they 90 not7care much for the interest o
those they represent.
eve propose that if the Legislature have
not adjourned by the first of February. the
Democratic editors of the State go down tt
Columbus, and each one bring one or two
of our mis-representatives home--rip the
members Legislative from the body legisla
tive, and save the Democracy of the State
at the expense of the hotels and drinking
saloons of Columbus. We hope ou
brethren of the press will speak out, ant
speak the sentiments o. the people agains
protraction of this extra session"

coluMnUs, Friday, Feb. is.

NDLBMhOSp = AaN"yb = 49,
Mr. PLANTS. of Meigs Co., made this af-
ternoon the best speech that has been made
in the Legislature this session, and that on
the hackneved subject Of Temperance. 1t
was on the consideration OF the bill sub
uniting TO the people an amendment to the
CONSTITUTIONS, to provide for licensing grog
shops.
He regarded drunkenness as a disease
not as crime, and did not agree with some
members WHO had spoken on this subject,
that the druhkard should be punished.
You might as well pass law to punish
the poor sufferer who was shaking with the
ague. Ash the poor inebrate to get up
from the E4ntyr and save himself. Why,
he was not Gbie to do that when well.
He did ne'egard rum selling as sin,
He did not lieye the rum seller could
rise to the dignity of sinner To be a
sinner man must "know the right. and
still the wrong pursue" but in this latter
half of the nineteenth century it was inn
possible thalauy man with moral sense
within him could set up doggery and sell
strychnine whisky by the glass. That
man had gone down below the reach oi
moral sense. He was a moral cripple, a
moral paralytot and should be restrained
from injuring society, as is The maniac
In conclusion, Mr.. Plants announced
that he should vote in favor of striking ou
the present claE3 in the constitution in re-
gard to heiid traffic, and leaving the
whole subject zone people.

~ The N. Y. papers contain account

~The N. Y. papers contain accounts
of the tightening of gold coin, by taking
out the center and filing up with spurious
metal. One account says:
"Some time since Officers Dilkes and Tu-
mans of the oulteenth Precinct received
information that quantity of lightened
coin was in circulation, and from certain
facts their suspicions were aroused against
Carmina Blair, an Italian woman. who
they watched, and subsequently arrested
on Saturday last, at the corner of Canal
street and Broadway. The officers then
proceeded to the various stores that they
had seen the prisoner enter, and collected
$40 worth of rs gold pieces which had
been lightened. The coin had all been
put in the lathe and the center turned COM
pletelY out, the coin re-flled with base
metal and then re-milled. They have all
been lighted in very skillful manner,
and could not be detected without weigh
ing.
''There is doubtless great quantity Of
the coin in circulation throughout the city,
Banks and accepted by them. There is
no doubt but that gang of Italians are
concerned in the affair, and that there are
two or three establishments in the city
where the operation is carried on, and it is
expected tley will be detected"

A Sad Story.

Some eight years ago. German tailor,
with his family, resided in one of the
upper wards of our city. A regular at
tendant of ore of the Lutheran churches,
he was regarded by his neig hbors an
honest and upright man. In an evil hour,
prompted, it is said, by the desires of his
wife, he opened his house as beer hall
For some time his business thrnve finely,
and as It grew, so grew his devotion to
the vile liquor in which he traficked-
for whisky and every other poisonous
compounds were, in course oftime, vended
| by him. Ills house had been at first pat
ronized by persons assuming some respec-
liability, but the character of its frequent
ers grew worse and worse, until finally,
to its otherwise unenviable reputation, was
added that OF house of ill-fame, and the
lowest and vilest outcasts of the city were
its constant patrons. The character of
the family kept pace with that of the house
In its downward progress. The children,
bright and intelligent, were hardened in
every species of vice.
The Jail. for many years, was seldom
without one or more of the family among
its occupants, and finally the father himself
died in one of the cells, a victim of dissi-
patton. His son, often incarcerated there,
finally left 1t for the peuitentary to expiate
the offense of dangerously wounding an
officer, who was about to arrest him for
stabbing one OF his comrades. Bloated,
and almost sightless from the effects of
dissipation, the mother dragged Though
another year or two, and on Sunday night
last, closed her career on earth. The scene
which followed is said to nave been of the
most disgusting description. Some OF the
most depraved characters who frequented
the house, arriving soon after the old wo-
man had drawn her last breath, closed the
eyes of the corpse--an office that seems to
have been forgotten by those in attendance
and adjournlng Immediately to the bar
room, broached one of the barrels of beer,
and passed The rest of the night in a
drunken orgie.
The house, which has long been pest
in the neighborbood, will now perhaps be
closed or the children, four in number,
the two youngest-girTs, aged respectively
ten and twelve years--are in the house Of
Refuge. The Oldest, All only son, is in the
penitentiary. The fourth, young woman,
has been for years in a di.graceful con-
nection with man who has been in the
constant habit of abusing her in the most
shameful manper. For his last offense,
knocking her down in daylight, on the open
street, he was sentenced to Jail, where he
is still confined. = Pinsburg Journal

WEDDING IN DEATH CHAMBER.-A
correspondent writing from West Union,
on the North Western Virginia Railroad,
says that a wedding recently took place in
death chamber, at Spring Hill, near that
place. Mr.. Barr and Miss Ripley were
married while the father of the lady was
lying a corpse. 1t appears that that day
had been set for the wedding to take place.
Mr.. Ripley was suffering with the con-
sumption. and expired on that morning at
6 o'clock. The groom proposed TO put it
off a few weeks, but the bride insisted in
it's taking place Immediately. The wed
ding accordingly took place at O'Clock.
