MISTAKE AT A bout the
end of last month the following singular
mistake was made at Dole, in France:
Two persons had died at the hospital of
that town, and were to be buried at the
same time. The deceased were a young
girl and soldier of the garrison. Both
coffins being placed alongside of each
other, they were so confounded that the
girl was accompanied to her last home by
platoon of dragons, with military hon
ors, while the soldier covered with white
pail of flowers, pious enblems of purity
and innocence, was borne on four feminine
shoulders, and followed by procession of
young girls recitng PRAYERS

Chess PIAyarlg.

The editor Of the 'Presbyterian, . Phil
adelphia, writes an article against this
amusement. Briefly his objections are:
|. 1t is too absorbing. 1t fatigues-
does not rec,eate, but so engrosses The at
tention as to unfit the mind for any con-
fessedly practical useful pursuits.
9. 1t is great consumer of time. The
game is so complex that it cannot be played
in few minutes, but must take from one
to eight ho1rs. A conscientious Christian
cannot thus waste time.
3. II is Of little practical worth-does
not store the mind with auy useful knowl-
edge. 1t is the most Improbable of all
pursuits, and once formed the habit be-
comes engrossing.
A. Its effects on temper are very bad.
Chess players are uniformly of irritable
dispositions.

OMAHA, March 2Ist, 1859.
Dear Times: Since writing you last l
have seen several parties that have re-
turned from the gold mines of Cherry
Creek or Pixies Peak, and one of the party
says that he has lost some two thousand
dollars, in his outfit. He reports there is
gold there, but he does not think it will
pay TO work the mines; and lie says all
those who are doing well at home had
better remain. Others have seen were
interested in towns or dIsgins, and they
gave good accounts of the place. have
asked them, when they showed their sam
Piles of gold, if they dug it, and their an
swer has been, mo, we bought it." And
when you would ask them direct ques-
ton they would not give you satisfactory
answer.
You can tell any of your friends who
are going, or talking about going to the
mines, that they can do a great deal better
at home.
The excitement here, and at Council
Bluff, is not as great as i; was some three
weeks ago, and great many who were
going have given up their trip, and intend
to stay at home, saying, if you ask them
the reason they do not go, "Well, think
| can do great deal better where l am"
This gold fever might do for people who
are out OF employment, and who are fond
Of border life; but to those who have en-
ployment and want their money, would
say, say at home, and l think they will
find themselves better off.

talked with person who has been to the
mines, and who worked there over three
months, and he said he had not made
enough to pay for his suit. He thinks it
is one of the greatest humbugs in the
county, but he said, "let others go and
see for themselves" c. H. Med.

drop IL few lines with regard to Plies

if not exciting, TO see and minge with the
thousands of expectant gold seekers, who
are daily arriving, and Quitting for a
trip over the plains. | have spent few

ties are arriving with every boat. The
emigration to Pixies Peak is immense.
and viii reach by the first Of May, the
enormous number of 100000. The pres
ent rush will justify these figures.
With regard to the real merits of the
"newiy discov, red gold fields" have
had peculiar advantages for obtaining reli-
able information. | have seen several
parties who have arrived from there within
the last few weeks, some of whom | know

are reaping rich harvests from the credu-

l have no doubt that gold exists at Pixies
Peak, (the opinion of DR.. Vaughan, and
other eminent geologists, who have pros
pected the country, TO the contrary not
wi,hstanding,) but it is found in such
small quantities, that it will not pay to
k the mines. In conclusion, let me
say, that all who have comfortable homes,
and loving friends, in the States, had bet
ter remain there; at least, not to emigrate
to Pixies Peak, with any expectations Of
bettering their condition; if they do, they
will most assuredly be "taken in and done
