PRorosEs TO JOIN YuBA-The Mountain
Messenger concludes an article on Alturas as
follows;
Let us have Alturas created if it can be
done honorably. If misrepresentation have
preludiced the Assembly and Senate against
US, if the people have failed to convince the
legislative body Of the justice of our claim,
and there is no possibility of forming the new
county, then let us join Yuba Although we
would be at quite distance from the coun.
ty seat, Marysville, and might suffer some in
convenience from being annexed to Yuba.
our condition would be greatly improved !;
and every man in this part of Sierra county
would prefer the change to living under the
present misrule If we fail to have Alturas
formed-and we can see no reason why such
result should conceive will gladly apply
for aid to our sister county, Yuba We can
accomplish the annexation with but little
trouble; and if Alturas fails, we will 20 into
a equity, the seat Of justice of which we will
be able to reach at any season of the year.
Both of these propositions, the creation of
Alturas, or the annexation to Yuba, are feast
bic, and one Of them must be acted upon
That's a fixed fact

served by Mrs. Unger, who, in the absence
Of her husband, took an axe and scythe and
proceeded to the place where Blackwell and
his men were engaged in constructing the
fence She told Blackwell and his men to
stop building the fence and leave there
She then cut down picket with her axe, to
which line had been fastened TO guide the
men in constructing the fence, and then with
the scythe proceeded to cut the line At this
iuncture Blackwell interfered-told her to
90 away, and pushed her back three times
The woman, however, stood her ground,
still firmly grasping the scythe with which
she had been cutting the lines, but did not
threaten or attempt to strike Blackwell with
her weapon. At this point Blackwell be-
came enraged turned round and caught up a
picket and struck the woman, breaking her
arm the first blow, and continued to strike
her over the head until he broke the picket,
and the woman sunk to the earth The wo-
man lay bleeding on the ground, and Black
well and his men, without offering her any
assistance, went deliberately to work build
ing the fence. Other parties came up, put
the woman in wagon and conveyed her
home. Her husband was sent for, and a
physician was called, and on examination it
was found that her arm was broken, her
head severely cut and bruised. Blackwell
was arrested on charge Of assault and bat
terry, found guilty, and fined 500.

Napa, giving a very interesting account of
the silver, cinnabar and copper mines of Ma
pa county. The writer has spent much time
in prospecting and testing the silver ore taken
from st Helens, and the result is. he is fully
satisfied that the ore will eventually. when
properly opened, be found to pay even as
high as $1,000 to the ton. The rock found
to prospect the best is of blush color
quartz. Of the cinnabar discoveries in that
section, the writer speaks glowinglv. But
mineral discoveries are never to cease.
new and very important discovery has been
made IN the mountains within a short dis
lance of Napa city-probably between Napa
and Sonoma-nothing less than vein of
copper. Judge Eley, while out prospecting
found what be supposed to be tin ore, but
which upon testing, proved to be 40 per cent
copper Mr. Anderson had himself also
made discovery of the same metal in the
same range of mountains, but at another
point several miles distant.

For some time there have been unmistak-

the Snake Indians on the Warm Springs Re
servation. Mr.. Abbott, sub-agent at that
place, has been watching the movements of
the Snakes very closely, and about the 25th
January, became SO well convinced that hos
ulities were soon to commence, that he made
a requisiton on the commanding officer at
Fort Dalles for a detachment of troops to pro
tect the Reservation and public property ;
and at the same time adopted rigid precau-
tionary measures to avoid attack, and to re-
pei it if made, until military relief should
reach him. The commander at Fort Dalles
could not, under regular orders, detach the
necessary force until special orders should be
received from the Departmental headquar-
tiers. This being made known to Superinten-
dent Geary, that officer laid the matter be-
fore General Harvey, who Immediately is
sued the necessary order, and force suffi-
cient to meet the anticipated emergency, viii

NICE HIKLS.

To my mind there is nothing in all the
world half so beautiful, half So delightful, or
half so lovable as "a nice girl" don't mean
a pretty girl, or n dsshing girl, or an elegant
girl, but "a nice girl" One Of those lively,
good tempered, good hearted, sweet faced,
amiable, neat, tidy, domestic creatures,
whom we meet in the sphere of "Home,"
diffusing around the domestic hearth the in
fuence of her goodness, like the essence of
sweet flowers.
What we all know by a mice girl is not
the languishing beauty who dawdles on a
| sofa, and talks of the last new novel or the
| last new opera or the great giraffe,looking
girl, who creates an effect by sweeping ina
jestically through a drawing room. The
mice girl" does not even dance well, or play
we'll, and she does not know a bit how to use
her eyes or coquette with a fan. She never
languishes; she is too active for that ; she Is
not given to novel reading, for she is always
too busy. When she goes o the opera, sh'
does not think ii necessary to show her bar
shoulders, but takes some retired seat with
out flirting abou 1t is not in such scene
that we discover the mice girl" II is a
home. Who is it that rises first in the morr
ing and sees that. breakfast Is ready ?-tha
makes papa's toast and prepares mas tel
and puts buttons on the boys shirts, and vi
tiers the flowers and feeds the chickens, an
makes everything comfortable in the parlor
Is it the pale beauty, or the giraffe, or the c
egant, accomplished" creature? By I
means. 1t is the mice girl"
