AN ENTRANcED WOMAN SPEAKs.-Miss Num-
son has been lecturing atNevada in the trance
state on man as animaland spirit, and afforded
Bro. Waite an opportunity for writing very
bold and philosophical article. Speaking of
her the Journal says, that "for the novelty
of the doctrines, clear, lucid manner in
which they were expressed, and the wonder
ful adaptation of language to the subject"
the lectures were unsurpassed. In another
place the Journal remarks as follows:
Any event which shall provoke discussion
is not without benefit to the human mind.
The novelty of the entertainment afforded
by Miss Munson attracts an audience, induces
thought and must rebound to the advantage
of the public, whatever may be said of the
doctrines advanced or the manner in which
they are taught. The bigoted and intolerant
will listen to no new creed, nor countenanco
anything out of the old beaten track in which
their fathers started them on the journey of
life. The man of liberalized ideas will pro-
nounce nothing a humbug which comes
fairly endorsed, until after investigation.

MAMMOTH TREE GRovEs.-It is not gener-
ally known that since 1855 three mammoth
tree groves have been discovered in Califor-
MIA il addition to the famous Calaveras
grove One of these, as we learn from Hut
ckings Magazine is situated at the head waters
of the South Fork of the Merced river, in
Mariposa county, and consists of about six
hundred trees, extending over an area of q
mile and quarter. The most gigantic in
diyidsal in this group was found PROSTATE
and partly burnt. 1t was estimated to have.
been about four hundred and thirty feet in
altitude and one hundred and twenty feet in
circumference. Several are mentioned that
have circumference of from sixty to ninety
feet and probable hight of from two to
three hundred feet. Another grove Is dis
tant from this one about six miles, in Frezno
county; and about twelve miles east of the
Frezno grove, at the head waters of the San
Joaquin river, exists a much larger group.
All these trees are precisely Of the same ge-
nus and variety as those of Calaveras. When
will some one give US an adequate descrip-
tion of these wonders .ss

A recent issue Of the Alta speaks Of seeing
newspaper letter written from the Washoe
diggings 0ct.a 22d, 1859, and containing
the news which probably gave the first i'm
petus to the present silver fever" The last
remark is absurdly wrong. The first printed
account of the silver mines was an editorial
in the Nevada Journal, Published as early as
July 9th. The information was direct and
reliable and produced an immediate excite
ment in this county, which soon spread to
Sierra county. In August the HYDRAublc
Press had a special correspondent in West
ern Utah, and published the FIRST elaborate
description of the mines and of the country
generally In October, before the above
letter was written, we had made personal
visit to the Eastern Slope, and published
further details concerning it,. The San
Francisco folks did not seem to believe there
was any silver in Utah at all, until the ore
reached their city by the cart load

The TENURE OF CLAIMS IN SiLvERLAND.-
Many persons who were in California early
in l849 will remember an anecdote OF Cor.
Mason, which was then current, to this ef-
feet: Some speculator had taken up attract
of mining ground, been dispossessed OF it
by actual workers, and went to the Governor
to ascertain what must be done to perfect
his title and recover the ground. To his in
quiry how much he could claim and how
long, the sturdy official responded blufly--
"The length of your pick handle, as long as
you can hold it." We are told that many
claims in the silver regions are held in
similar manner, and the owners absence is
the signal for Jumpers to seize upon bis
lead and hold it by the law of might. To
prevent jumping, interests have sometimes
been given to fighting characters, the fame
of whose prowess was calculated to inspire
a wholesome respect. One instance of jump
ing we are reliably told of, in which the
claim was held by the "parties of the second
part" by means of forti6cation of rocks
thrown up for the purpose, and behind
which they intrenched themselves with fire.
arms. The gentlemen who thus had to yield
their prior rights are said to be citizens OF
Nevada county. Between the white scoun-
drels and the Indians, we fear much violence
and bloodshed will stain the first years his
tory of the new territory.

ANOTHER USEFUL INVENTION Joseph
L. Chadwick, of this place, has invented a
self-adjusting elbow for all kinds OF. water
or steam pipes, and is about to apply for a
patent on the same. 1t consists of one or
more Observation-Disclosures, or sections, each
plane having an angle of III degrees on
each side, making 229 degrees, adjustable
to sihgle-incfine Sections squared at tone end
for connection with the main pipe. These
sections are joined by cast iron fanges.-
This elbow can be made perfectly straight
or set at any angle, up to forty live degrees,
by simply revolving the double-inclihes, and
consequently the direction of any pipe to
which it may be attached can be changed at
pleasure with little expense and in short
time. AS iron pipe is now coming into ex-
tensive use for conveying water from canals
and f1dn1cs to mining claims, this elbow will
prove vastly convenient and economical fo-
that use alone. The direction of the pipe
frequently has to be changed in the diggings,
and when made solid, as now, such change
involves much cost and de.ay. If Mr.. Chad
wick has not been anticipated in his inven-
ton, the self-adjusting elbow will prove q
valuable patent.
