The Washington States says: The
Southern Commissioners have been dining
with foreign Ambassadors. 1t is seen by
everybody in Washington that the Com
missioners are on terms of intimacy with
the French and English Ministers partic-
ularly, which makes the most ultra of the
negro Republicans look blacler and
meaner and more savage than usual.

"ALTERATIvE AND PURIFYING SYRUP."-In
their column, Mcssrs. Franchere & Butler, drug
gists of this place, advertise medicine bearing
this name, to which the attention of persons suf-
fering with neuralgia, is especially directed.
This malady, like fiend with biting tooth, had
been in our head four years-at times producing
sensation such as might be supposed to arise
from pouring molten lead on the brain-pan-
full beyond all conception to those who have not
experienced it. For five weeks, on one occasion,
have we been unable to stir abroad-eyes swol-
len, temples throbbing, temper soured, flesh de-
creased-in fact, entirely untitled for society or
its enjoyments. We found at last, medicine
which would pafliate 1.-THE same that forms the
base of Franchere & Buffers "Alterative," but
nothing, until we tried the s'Alterative," which
would break up and entirely remove the neural
gia. Such, however, has been the undoubted
effect of this medicine. We know something
about its component parts, and can safely-as
we do voluntarily and with pleasure-recom-
mend it as the best syrup for the diseases which
1t proposes to cure that was ever offered TO the
public.

INNocULATED.-A singular instance of innoc-
ulation occurred in this place a few days since.
One of our physicians being called upon to per-
form an operation for the cure of an aphrodisiac
disease, had flesh cut on one of his hands,
which unfortunately came in contact with the
affected part of the patients body, and was in
noculated with its malignant virus. The venous
flow of blood carried the poison up through the
arm to the shoulder, producing great pain, and
temporarily depriving the physician alluded to
of the use of that member. AS he is skillful in
the practice of his profession, he has no doubt
ere this succeeded, by application of the
proper antidotes, in arrestng the progress of the
vicious malady.

is too poor to drink wine, SO he compromises
with the medium alluded to, on lager beer.
Koch l. Filter may not furnish as sparkling
beverage as Longworth, the Sainsevaines.
or Heidsieck but it is far more invigorating
and refreshing. John Filter delivers it in
kegs or bottles any reasonable distance-say
not exceeding ten miles from the brewery
and we commend all lovers of the article to
trial of its virtues, which we unhesitating-
ly pronounce fully equal to those of the very
best lager manufactured anywhere within
the State

REJoIcINGs AT TIMBUoroo.- Jeffards,
writing from Timbuctoo to the Marysville
Democrat, over date of I'd inst, says:
s'The news of the election of McDougall
to the United States Senate, which was
received here tonight by telegraph, together
and general superintendent of the Water
Co. in this place, caused a great rejoicing
with the citizens and miners here, who fired
one hundread and ten guns in honor of the
election of Dave, who is gentleman in
every sense of the word, and has merited
the good wishes of all who know him.
After this, the balance of the powder, which
amounted to- about fifty pounds, was burnt
n honor, of McDougall. The. town is filled
with people and times are good

BRUTAL AssArLT.-Severalnig nights ago, fend
in human shape, an Irishman, proceeded to the
Indian encampment few rods south of the town,
and made violent attempt upon an Indian wo-
man upwards of fifty years of age. Her husband,
an inofensive gray-haired man, over sixty-the
only person present to witness the assaut-went
to her assistance, when he was felled by blow
from the fist of the brawny assaitant, who closed
in with the Indian and choked him. The woman
set up terrible screaming, which attracted the
attention of some of our citizens, who proceeded
to the spot, where they found the Irishman and
Indian engaged in hand to hand conflict. On
pcrceiving the party, the Irishmah "sloped," and

The STORM CoNTINuEs.-Since our last issue,
there has been but little intermission in the rain
storm. Three or four times the sun shone brightly
for an hour or so on each OCCASION, to be blotted
out by copious and protracted showers of rain.
Although vast quantities have fallen, the amount
has not been so great, nor effected anything like
much damage as the storm of last week. The
break-ups have been just sufficient to allow the
streams to disgorge themselves, and keep within
a moderate range of their banks. At this writ
ing (Friday afternoon) the rain descends, and
the heavens are. frowning. None but the wealth
er-wise dare predict when it will be otherwise.

THE SACRAMENTO, PLACER AND NEVADA
RAILRoAD.-The Placer (Auburn) Herald of
the 30th of March says:
The construction of the Sacramento, Placer
and Nevada Railroad is very near fixed
fact. During the present week the condi
tions of a contract, for the furnishing of the
iron. chairs, spikes, and the laying of the
track on the eutire line, from Folsom to the
town of Auburn, has been concluded with
u. L. Robinson. The terms of a running
contract have also been arranged with the
Sacramento Valley Railroad by which the
machinery of that road will run the Auburn
road, and thereby save the latter the cost of
machinery that would be necessary under
an independent running organization.
The subscriptions to the stock of the road
have nearly reached the estimates of Mr..
Day for the grading, etc, of the first division
of thirteen miles in the direction of Auburn,
and it is the intention of the Company to
proceed with this at the earliest practicable
day; and for this purpose new Board of
Directors, as required by the statute, will be
elected during the coming month. 1t is
contemplated to put the grading of the Sec
ond division Of six miles into Auburn under
way as soon as or before the first division is
opened.
The building of this road will mark new
and prosperous era, not only to Auburn, but
the country above and around us. Ell Do
RADIO, Placer and Nevada will experience the
benefits rapidly.

GUIDE BoARDs.-We notice that in some
portions of the State, citizens are placing
guide boards at the road-crossings at their
own expense. They are a great public con-
venience and there is probably no country
where they are more needed than in this
We would be glad to see the public spirited
citizens of the surrounding country follow
the example. We even think, as matter
of public convenience, the Board of Super
visors would be justified in having it done at
the expense of the county.

SUsPENDED.-The recent heavy rains have
done much damage to quartz claims of Grass
Valley, by filing them up. Many of the
mills have temporarily suspended work, on
account of not being able to keep the water
out of the shafts-so great is the increase.
The Scadden Co., Rocky Bar and all the
mills on Massachusetts Hill will soon resume
operations. By the suspension of operations
of the above mills some two or three hun
dred men have been thrown out of employ
