MEETING OF Stock RAIsERs.-At meeting
of stock raisers held at Nome Lackee Reser-

olutions were adopted:
WHEREAS, We are satisfied there are per-
son in this vicinity who are, and have been
for months past, in the practice of marking
unmarked stock, not belonging to themselves,
and even going so far as to brand horses with
their own mark, that were plainly branded
at the time with the owners brand-and
when expostulated with in regard to the
matter, have averred that their Indians
must have done it" and we have submitted
to these things until "forbearance has ceased
to be virtue" and,
WHEREAS, Those same persons are in the
habit of driving stock off from lands belong
ing to the United States Government upon
our own private lands-Therefore be it
ResOtved, That it is a duty which we owe
to ourselves and to the community ut large
to demonstrate against any person, in any
manner, interfering with his neighbor's
stock, by driving them off, except to protect
his private property.
ResOiUed, That we will hold any person
individually responsible for all stock not be-
longing to them, when found bearing their
brand, whether Indians use their brand or
not: and although Government may submit

LIFE AND DEATH IN GREAT CITIEs-WHERE
ARE THE DoCroRs ?-When Alaric the Goth
heard that Rome was thronged with the fu-
gitives who had fled before his barbarous
hordes, the grim chieftain laughed and said
-'Ahal am glad of it. 1t is easier to cut
down thick grass than thin" 1t has been
estimated by physician of eminent standing
that out of 227 900 deaths which annually
take place in populous cities, 100000 might
reasonably be struck off the list by proper
sanitary measures. But Dr. Holloway, the
greatest modern traveller and most experi>
enced physician Of the age, considers that
these figures considerably undervalue the true
reletative proportions. From various data
in his possession, taken at random during
series of years in the largest cities of the
world, DR.. Holloway says 80 per cent of the
yearly mortality would be closer approx
nation to the mark. He accounts for the
unnecessary sacrifice of human life from the
foul air breathed in densely crowded cities
the blood becomes vitiated and the tissues
loose their vitality, hence that general de-
bility and pale emaciated appearance wit
messed in the denizeus of large towns. Dr.
Holloway's celebrated vegetable Pills neu-
tralize the virus received into the lungs by
their action on the blood, which they purify
and invigorate, while the active principle of
the medicine combines with the vital fluid,
and is consequently scattered over the entire
system. The effect of these life sustaining
Pills is not confined merely to the blood the
stomach liver, and bowels are equally bene-
fitted by them. The functions of the stomach
are strengthened, the secretions of the liver
corrected, and the action of the bowels slim
ulated so that the tone and vigor of the gen.
eral constitution are completely renewed.
We understand that Dr. Holloway is about
publishing his memoirs" which when they
appear, will certainly be valuable acquisi-
tion to the Scientific literature of the day
We predict that they will be eagerly read by
all classes and doubtless translated into every
printed language. Few men, if any, have
travelled more than Dr. Holloway. for we
find that he has made a tour of the habitable
globe, receiving letters and soavenirs from
persons of the highest distinction. From
what we have heard the forthcoming volumes
replete with strange and startling incidents
that have occurred during his visits to Paris
St. Petersburg, Vienna, Pekin, Melbourne,
Berlin, Washington, Constantinople, and
other remarkable cities of the World. Dick

says: "a friend who has recently returned

or rather under the bluff on the south side of
the Chile Gulch, between San Andreas and
Mokelumne Hill. For distance of seven
miles or more, the ground has been claimed,
and is now being actively and thoroughly
prospected. and with nearly uniform success
the gold is fouud in the bed of an ancient
river, little below the level of the stream
running through Chile Gulch, between the
bed rock and thick stratum of lava. The
channel runs the whole length of the bluff.

REPORT OF GEN. HARNEY RELATIVE TO
MoNTGoMERY's KANSAS RAD.-The Secretary
of War has received dispatch from General
Harney, who has returned to St. Lonis from
his search for Montgomery and his band. It
contains all the principal facts connected
with Montgomery's raid, and throws some
light in regard TO the objects and purposes of
tho funds that are being collected for suffer-
ing Kansas. We quote the following:
believe that Montgomery's band is fully
as large as represented to be; that they are
sworn to protect each other by perjury, as
sassination and in every way possible. Their
object is, as declared publicly by themselves
to protect fugitive slaves in the Territory, to
assist them to run away whenever an oppor-
tunity offers, taking them east and receiv-
ing sixty dollars per head" and to drive out
of the Territory all who oppose them in so
doing A large portion of the population on
the border either belongs to this organiza-
tion or sympathize with them, and those who
do not,dare not oppose them or give informa-
ton concerning them. | am satisfied that
the greater part, if not all of the donations
which are sent to sufferers in Kansas, goes
tnlO Ine MINUS Oi tnis DdHu, anu Ihe greater
portion of it is perverted from the use inten
ded by purchasing arms and munitions of
war for carrying out their plans. 1t would
take large force to thoroughly break up
this band.
Montgomery has regularly organized
band ofabout sixty men, who receive ten
dollars per month, besides portion of the
ro5beries, &c, and also spies and runners all
over the country, who give him timely notice
of any movements set on foot against him.
The day before the troops reached Mound
City. Montgomerys men, to the number of
between four hundred or five hundred, as
sembed and passed resolutions, copy of
which has been published in the Black Re-
publican papers think the best and cheap.
est way to catch Montgomery and his party
will be to furnish the Governor with funds,
and let him do it in his own way.

PLArINA-Re Investigations prove that
the discovery of maleable platina, which has
been variously ascribed to Prout, Wallaston,
Fourcroy, Breant, and even to Janetty, be-
longs to French chemist Francois Chaba-
neau, resident in Madrid In the seven
teenth century there was brought to Spain,
from South America, not only gold and sill
yer, but another mental in small grains, white,
hard, brittle, and insoluble, to which was
given the name of platind, from plata silver.
In 1880, Chabaneau attempted to shape the
platina into ingots, and his efforts were sue
cessful. The Spanish King, Charles III was
so pleased at the fact of this discovery hav-
ing been made in his capital, that he struck a
commemorative medal in platina, and con
ferred pension upon Chabaneau. The let
ters patent granting this pension are dated in
1855, and thus effectually settle his claims TO
priority.

FURTHER OF THE BAILEY RUSSELL Fraud
Bailey, the Interior Department Clerk, who
distracted the Indian Trust Bonds, in reply
to the announcement that some of the Bonds
advertised by the Governm 1T as stolen have
been in private hands for year or two,
states that the published list is inaccurate.
Russells friends complain that the Gov
ernment has interferred unwarrantably, to
embarras him in obtaining the necessary
bail bonds, by suggesting to those who were
disposed to go upon the bond that it would
be unsafe to do So Chief of Police Goddard
has been especially conspicuous in this way,
undoubtedly at the instigation of the Ad-
ministraton The delay in filing the neces-
sary bonds is consequent upon the fact that
Mr.. Russell's monied friends reside at dis
tanee from the city.
Russelrs friends advise him to execute
bail bond for the amount named, as it carries
an imputation inconsistent with Secretary
Ihompson's declaration that he believed him
entirely innocent. Bailey now declares that
Russull knew nothing of the character of the
stolen bonds, and intimates that the guilty
parties, high in authority, are yet to be
brought to light.-EdStcrn paper.
