Editor Of the Plaindeale;


DEAR SIR:
On Wednesday last, we were
highly honored with large at
tendance at our house, from New
Oregon, Vernon Springs, and its
vicinity. Upwards of one hum
dred and fifty persons partook of
a splendid supper, and before leav-
ing they presented us with do.
nation valued at seventy dollars.
We feel greatly indebted to the
several committees, who exerted
themselves SO ably and successful
ly, both before and at the time of
the donation, and likewise to all
those kind friends who with them
contributed Of their earthly sub
stances, to our necessities. May
tue Lord reward them an hundred
fold, temporarily and spiritually in
this world, and in the great day.
May they have the inexpressible
JOY Of hearing the Great Judge
say; In as much as ye did it unto
one of the least Of these, my little
ones We did unto me and them.
May they be rewarded with eter-
nal life, in that which is to come.
..~ WILLIAM YOUNG,
ELIZA J. YOUNG.

''Since our return home from the

| A correspondent of the Dun
kirk Press & Argus, says that an
immense mine of Top Onion seed
has been discovered in Pomfret,
Chatauqua county, n. Y. lie
says further that they have vehic-
lie now in operation, there called
a France that runs to ''kingdom
come" and that those who travel
by that mode of conveyance live
chiefly on lamper eel, and that the
squirming propensity of that ceg-
etable enables them to s4uirm into
all the offices. Now that Maripo-
sa has failed Col. Fremont, hadn't
he better buy out the mine of on
ion seed, the product in 1860,
would be so nice to season the big
dish of abolitionism being prepar-
ed for the friends of Ham, while
the France is just the machine
they'll need carry in Nov, 1860!
What say Mr.. Press.
The Democratic National Com
mittee have decided upon the Odd
day of April, 1860, as the time
for the Democratic National Con-
vention to assemble in the city Of
Charleston, S. c., to place in NOM
nation candidates for President
and Vice.Prcsident of the United
States.
A committee to reside at the
City Of Washington, and superiu-
tend the publication and distribu-
ton Of Democrats consisting of
G. L. Vallindingham of Ohio,
Chairman; c.. F. Faulkner of Va;
John Cochrane of New York;
John A. Logan, of Illinois; VIM.
Bigler, of Pa; VIM. Barkdale, OF
Miss; Miles Taylor, of Louisiana,
and W. H. English, of Indiana,
was appointed, after which the
committee adjourned sine die.
"John Browns ends we're. just and
generous: history will record his name
among those Of ITS martyrs and he
roes."
The attrocious sentiment con-
tanned in the preceding extract is
tit only to disgrace the columns
of the New York Evening Post:
a paper that during the war OF
1912, WAS constantly arrayed
against the u. S., sustained the in
famous Hartford Convention, and
is now welded to the destinies OF
Republicanism.

aBut He Can't Keep a Hotel.n

The man who travels much, will discover
pertinency in this slang phrase which few other
persons may have dreamed of. The smallest
number of men know how to keep hotel
Twenty years ago, the landlord of country Inn
sat on bench at his bar-room door, watching
for customers. If a horseman rode up to his
sign-post in an instant he had hold of the bridle-
rein, called the ostler, assisted the traveller to
alight, took charge of his saddle-bags, conduct
ed him into the house, inquired after his health,
how far he had rode, and finished the kindly re-
ception by setting out bottle, from which the
stranger, if he felt SO disposed, might pour,
and refresh himself. Such greeting made a
man feel at home. 1t went directly to the heart;
and if his animal happened to be jaded, this was
the place he would select to lie over a couple of
days and rest him.
Now, the case is quite different. The traveller
alights from stage coach, walks into a spacious
saloon, sees young man sitting behind coun-
ter on a high stool, making entries looks around
in vain for some one to take his carpet-bag has
to ask "if he can get accommodations :" wants
to know if there is servant about to dust him
of-in fact, meets with decidedly cool recep-
ton ; which makes him feel sorry that he did not
stop at some other place!
Who that travels, has not noticed these def
ciences on the part of most of our hotel-keepers
The reason, in general way, may be ascribed to
the fact, that the business of the modern hotel is
conducted by a "clerk," instead of sshost." 1t
is the clerks business-that functionary reasons
to himself-to attend to the books of the con-
Germ, and leave courtesy to whoever else about
the premises may think proper to practice it.
1t would be safe to say, that according to the
excellent customs which prevailed twenty years
ago, there are not dozen seeA-kept hotels in the
State. We have no longer such a parsonage as
"host." 1t is arop'ietoa-one who does
not pretend to receive his guests or care to know
if they are properly entertained. Indeed, one
might be regular boarder at the public house,
and unless he read it on the weekly bill-head,
remain ignorant of the existence of any such
person as either host or proprietor!

IMPROVEMENT IN THE CAMERA OBscuRA-
While at Grass Valley the other day, we were
shown by Mr.. T. NJ. Wood, daguerrean artist, a
camera recently received from New York the
only one of the kind in the State, we believe
which takes twelve miniature pictures at one sit
ting. Six are taken during the first few seconds
of time, when spring is touched, the plate
pushed up, and six more impressed on lower
parallel line. The principal object of the inven-
tion seems to be to supplant the use of visiting
cards. Instead of leaving this style of indicator
at the door of neighbor, as heretofore, lady
hands in the counterfeit presentment of her
features, which is placed in the usual receptacle
on the center-table to be gazed at, and, if hand
some, admired by all the gentlemen visitors OF
the house. What nexts

AN INTIMATIoN.-The Nevada Journal con-
tains the following. We know nothing
about the facts ourselves. Mr.. Elliott can
speak for himself, when opportunity offers:
ave notice in the Hydraulic Press, that
Mr.. j. G. Elliott had paid visit to North San
Juan, and WAS endeavoring to raise from
$4,000 to $4,000 for the purpose of making
survey, for railroad from Marysville
through the Henness Pass ria San Juan, re-
porting upon and mapping the same. The
Press also states several of the leading men
were interesting themselves in the matter.
1--WE have no o4ber object in referring to
this matter than to protect the people of
San, Juan, for whom we have great respect,
from imposition. 1t becomes our duty to say
that certain facts have been broaght to our
knowledge which do not leave Mr. Elliott the
reputation Of being any better man than he
ought 20 be in money matters. Further and
full particulars can be obtained by address,
ing Geo. W Welch, Of this city, whose con-
tracts with Mr.. Elliott in black. and white

BEDLAM RAMPANT.-Lovers Of Chinese dis
cord, should seat themselves on the hilltop op-

creatures constituting the jennies of that filth

voices at such times; and although domiciled in
Chinatown, they can be heard at least two miles
off, should the breeze prove favorable. If hell
contains a swinge-cat capable of giving forth
such whining, clattering, creaking, hysteric ut
terings, Spangles thinks it must be a horrible
place to go to

"THE VICTIMS OF FATE."-Miss Rowena
Granice, the authoress of the novelette, bearing
this title, called on us yesterday, and laid copy
on our table with her own fair hand. We have
not had time to peruse it, but learned, some
time ago, through the newspaper press, that it
had some reference to the life and doings of d.
c. Broderiek. Without stopping to inquire into
the merits of the work.. it is enough for us to
know that Miss Granice seeks to make an hon
est living by the sale of her Little work, and she
therefore has our best wishes for abundant sue
cess in the undertaking.
