the remains were inferred, under the imme-

FAnLE.-A young man once picked up a
sovereign which was lying in the road Ever
after, as he walked along he kept his eyes
steadily fixed on the ground, in homes of
finding another. In the course ii a long life,
he did pick up at different times, goodly
amount Of gold and silver. But all these
days, as he was looking for lost money he
saw not that the heavens were bright above
him, ard tiafufe beautiful around He never
once allowed his eyes to look up from the
mud and filth in which he sought the treas
ure; and when he died, rich old man, he
only knew this fair earth Of ours as dirty
highway, where mercenary thoughts were
content to be fed upon the occasional fortu-
nate pickihgs of a grovcling and sordid am
bition.

STEIM WAGoN-This constitution" has at
last proved success. A wagon propelled
by steam, is now on exhibition at San Fran
cisco, where it made several overland excur-
sions to the satisfaction of all bcholders.
The Gazette speaks of it thus:
"The wagon was steered with ease by Lou
is Banding, and the engine managed by Mr..
Austin, foreman of the Vulcan Works 1t
was built at Leeds, England, by Messrs. Bra
him 4 Co., for Mr.. Ogden and his partner,
and is intended for the transportation of ore
from Arizona to the Colorado river, dis
tance of eighty miles, over which ground it
is calculated it viii pass. every two days. 1t
works admirably on hard ground, but will
not answer over cobble stones, as it tears
them up at great rate"

Threatened Duel.

On Monday evening last, about twilight,
it became evident to the good people of this
place, that there was something up" The
stealthy movements of quite number OF
prominent citizens, gave rise to this suspi-
cion. They were observed to have oYercoats
across their arms, to be pulling on their
gloves, laying in supply Of cigars and other
refreshments, preparatory to'the setting out
upon n journey. Itsoon became known that
duel was to be fought, as rumor said, at
some point east of San Juan, early on the
following morning, between Richard Moyes,
of Orleans Flat, President of the Henness
Pass Turnpike Company, and Sheriff Van
Hagan, both of this coanty. Subsequent
facts developed themselves in the following
particulars
Remarks had been made by Mr. Moyes, re-
flecting upon the bravery of Sheriff Van Ha.
gan, as captain of the Nevada Volunteers, in
one of the skirmishes with the Indians at
Washoe. Sheriff Van Hagan visited Mr..
Moyes, and in language more expressive than
moral or polite, denounced the rumors afloat
as falsehoods, and those who repeated them
subjects of his scorn and contempt. This
provoked q challenge from Mr.. Moyes, who,
we understand, denied the authorship of the
depreciatory remarks, and even went so f.r
as to express an opinion to the effect that he
entertained no doubt of Capt Van Hagan's
courage, but still held himself responsible
for having repeated the offensive language
originally made use Of BY another
Si. Brown, Capt. Reed and Kepner CArnes
acted as the seconds of Mr.. Moyes, and John
Webber and Hugh Thompson rs the seconds
of Sheriff Van Hagan. The respective par-
ties Slept ON or hear the ground selected as
the scene for the combat-being on L ridge
three miles east of fCamptonville, along which
runs the boundary line between Nevada and
Yuba counties. Some Forty or fifty specta-
tors Were in attendance. The parties were
to fight with rifles, at sixty PAGES distance,
back to back, and at the word wheel and
fire. These were the arrangements previous
~ entered into but before the hostile parties
had taken position, police force appeared
on the ground, mutual explanations ensued,
which led to postponement of the affair
until some future and more suitable occas-
ion.
We are Indebted for these particulars, to
a gentleman who returned from the dueling
ground, very much jaded, AL covered with
dust, and highly indignant at late hour on
Tuesday morning.

PRrzE-FIGHTING PHYsIrALLY CONSIDERED
medical man writes to an Eastern paper,
that prize-fghters are short-lived. Most OF
them, he says, die before they are 35, and
hardly any of them live to be As years of age.
1t seems that the blows which they receive
on the body, engender variety Of diseases.
Blows on the upper part Of tie chest, cause
LESSONS of the lungs resembling tubular affec-
tions, and equally fatal in their character
Blows on the lower part of the chest, cause
diseases of the kidneys, inaammations and
dropsy-the latter being the disease of which
most pugilists die.

MORE GoLD Discoveries Charles Nash
& Co. have discovered a quartz lode of aston
ishing richness at Eddy's Gulcb, near the
North Fork of Salmon River, in Klamath
county. Some specimens of the rock had
yielded from one to sixteen, dollars to the
poiind. Six miles of the lode has been
traced and taken up, and it is said that gold
shows itself everywhere throughout the
rock, which is thought to be equally rich as
that of the celebrated Ish claim. The news
of the discovery produced great stampede
among the miners Of that region.

juno zion Baur Tunn~I.

1t gratifes US much 10 learn, that this
Tunnel, which Was commenced in April,
ls55-more than five years ago-is now COM
pleted, and shaft raised from its head, per-
pendicuiarly. through the bedrock, to the
superintendent gravel. This Tunnel is in
Manzanita Hill, nearly opposite to Sebasto-
pol, on the side next the Middle fuba. 1t
has been the joint work of two companies,
the "Buckskin' and "McDowelf," and the
entire cost of its excavation, including the
shaft, is $45 900. The "Buckskinn Company
took its name from the circumstance that
TIE focaters of the ground Wore buckskin
trowsers, and was at Grst composed of four
shares, two of which have been divided
The present members of the company are, ].
P. Martin, John Crowley, Andrew Martin,
Charles Helmick. - Banner, and II. Mack
lin. The Mcdowell Company's members are,
W. H. Hyer, John J. Hayner, Alexander Mack
intosh, Geo. II. York, and one other, whose
name is unknown to US.
The Tunnel is $50 feetin length, and feet
in width and hight. Portions of it cost $50
per foot. The shaft, from the head of the
Tunnel to the upper surface Of the bedrock,
is 60 feet. Over this lies s5 feet of rich
gravel, through which a shaft is now being
sunk, to connect with that raised through
the bedrock. The entire hight, from the
bOttcfl of the rock to tho eurfaoa of tI,a
gravel, is l39 feet. Both companies will
wash through the shaft and Tunnel, and both
are rapidly making arrangements to COM
mence the Important work. That they will
be fortunate, the we'll known character of the
ground leayes no room for doubt and if
anfinching toll and indomitable persever
ance deserve reward, these two companies
are most en1inently deserving.

Indian Rarbaritx.

Mrs. Page, whose capture by the Indians
in Arizona, and whose miraculous escape
from death have been mentioned, has given
an account of her sufferings to correspon-
dent of the st. Louis Republican, which he
narrafes in the following manner-permit-

my shoes, and left me -Bat Is single garment.
They then thrust their lances into ME, IN
ficting eleven wounds on my body, threw
me over a ledge of rocks or precipice some
sixteen or eighteen feet high, and hurled
large stones after me to make sure OF my
death, and then left me. This occurred near
sunset. had nine lance wounds in my back
and two in my arm, and my head was crt fn
several places by the rocks which were hurled
after me; but most of the latter glanced
without striking NE. l had alighted on

some flour, which had been spilled on the
ground. The fire was not quite out and

the flour together, and from it baked a little
