40 EXILE AIN CIRCUMsTANCEs."-In barn,
.,o.o bv, we observe every day, stout brown
t;rd scratching about among the straw. He is
mt bird of family, we are persuaded if he ev-
,r took the marital vow all on "St. Valentines
novn he has, evidently, suffered great domestic
oeliction, or else he is more unprincipled fell
,ov than we take him to be for, when his crop
,os been filled to comfortable sensation, he sits
m the bars, combing his Quaker brown coat, or
uo+s down and dusts himself on the sunny side of
sbe fence He has no relatives, hereabouts we
suspect tie unwonted rigors Of winter have ex-
yelled him from the ca1on, and, the lines having
fallen in pleasant places, he thinks he'll stop a
while. Our feathery exile " in circumstances -
don't anybody kill or fray him away.
SIDNEY HnI.-Wonderful excavations have
been made within year, great space of ground
has been entirely cleaned to the bedrock; in
some claims the bank face" is fifty feet or more.
Drain bitches not more than three feet wide are
sunk to depth of twenty-five or thirty feet, and
in some places pass under the hill to opposite side.
The old road has been destroyed, and pedestrians
nassing that way are required to mount a ladder
about thirty feet. This is one of the richest pa-
ces in the northern country, but because of the
loose nature of the ground, is dangerous mining
place.
LEcruRE-On Sunday night, the 9th of this
month, Mr.. G. X. GODFREY, of Shasta, will deliv-
er free lecture ia the Union church Subject
-" Consummation of Earth's Grand Drama"
The lecturer has made complete preparation and
study of this subject, and has been much commen-
dqd at various places where he has been heard.
His purpose being none other than to entertain
our citizens gratuitously, we trust that he will
he gratfed by large audience. The presence
of ladies is especially desired.
WE have understood that few evenings ago,
while the owners were in town, some thieves poi
B soned the watch-dogs and robbed several cabins
near town. It is asserted that the thieves are
known to have camps not far off and come to
L town in the evening and there recognizing cabin
owners, proceed to their houses and steal. These
observations remembered by citizens who know
rcarly all residents here, and by parties of whom
strychnne is sought, may occasion the nabbing
of some duck.
