Died.:

In Weaverville, July 10th, of congestion of the
brain, JANE E., wife of Rev. Robert Kelen. pas
tor Of the Methodist Episcopal Church. Weaver
vile, aged about 80 years.
Ns- Washington ID. CO. and Portland (Me)
papers please copy.
1t is a painful task at any time, and under any
circumstances, TO record the death of one so ami
able. and one who contributed so much to the
moral edificaton Of society as MRs, KELLEN.-
But the surrounding circumstances, and incidents
attendant upon her sickness, death and burial,
makes it an unwilling task for the pen to inscrbe.
Rev. Mr.. Kellen was called to Washington five
months ago to attend to the settlement of his de-
ceased father-in laws estate, then in a condition
demanding immediate attention, only antcipa-
ting an absence of three months from home
Through the intervention of obstacles unforeseen,
his absence has been prolonged until the noble
spirit of the christian wife and loving mother
has passed to the brighter and better world.
During Mrs. Kellen's sickness every kindness
and attention that human love could besoN was
cheerfully rendered. The gentle hand of Der
own sex was at all times near her pillow, ready
to administer to every real or imaginary want,
and so remained at her bedside until the glorcs
Of heaven made her eyes dim, her tongue SILENT
and her heart cold to all that earth could offer.
Her remains were inferred at o'clock p. m,
on Sunday, Rev. Mr.. liavne performing tho last
sad ceremodes at the church aud grave.
In Weavervile, July 23d, Of dysentery, EDwIN
D.. son of Herman and Louisa Greenhood aged
one year and six months

II 49, a., l., En-
DIE will sorrow at the above announcement. He
was the very sunbeam of the now sorrowing
house. We sincerely sympathise with the par
ents in the loss of their little loved one.
The funeral was one of the largest we have cv
er witnessed here. The little girls and hoys of the
village followed the bier, which was carried hy
six pail bearers. His remains were laid in the
Masonic burying ground.
Celestial calmness closed his infant eyes,
While tears Of sorrow dropp'd around him fast;
The parting smile that gazed to paradise
Badc Garth farewell and all the past.

New NIGHT SIGNAL SYsTEM.-A series of sue
cessful experiments with TutIe's new night sig
mails made between Boston and Hull (nine
miles distauO, Wednesday evening, under the
direction of i. II. Palmer, of the American Tele-
graph office, Boston. A powerful calcium light
was placed upon the top Of the State street block,
aud the operator al Hull had similar apparatus.
The night signal operates by the principle of the
Morse telegraph ; that is, the dots and marks of
the telegraph are produced by moving thin
piece of metal in front of The lens, thus producing
the fash Of longer or shorter duration, which the
operator interprets nearly or quite as fast as by
sound upon the telegraph This invention will
be Of great utility in signaling between the de
taehmenls of an army at night, and for many
other purposes, 1t has been offered free of
charge, to the Government.

STATE PEINTER.-We heartily commend to the
people OF this State the name of Benz ?. Avery,
the nominee on the State Republican ticket for
State Printer. Mr. Avery is highly respected
in every section of The State, and regarded as a
man of the purest character in every walk in
life. He is distinguished as a man of undoubted
integrity, reliability, and possessing that most
essential requisite for The discharge of the duties
belonging to the position for which he is named
the practical and mechanical knowledge and
ability to fill the office. The Office of State
Printer has been the most costly to the people
since The commencement of our State Govern
ment. Political jobJers and outside SPECTATORS
ignorant Of the duties of the station, have been
the conventional pets, and a splendid grab game
they have made Of it. Hundreds of thousands OF
the peoples money have been lavished and use
lessly thrown away to keep up and support
horde of sinecure 90 bummers,' who have hung
round and over the Office, like fog over a
swamp.
Let us have once more in our history an hon.
est, practical man, worthy of being the succ essor
OF Mr.. OMeara the only one we have ever had.

REPUBLICAN SENATORIAL CoNvENTGoN.-Dee
gates to the Senatorial Convention from Shasta
and Trinity counties, met at the Tower House.
last Monday. The name of j. Chadbourne, Esq,
of Weavervlle, was introduced, and that gentle
man nominated by acclamation.
The nomination is one of the best ever made
for that position by any party, since the organi-
cation of the Northern counties. Mr.. Chadbourne
is the senior partner Of the law firm of Chad
bourne & Miller. and ranks not only as one of the
best lawyers in Northern California, but among
the finest of the State.
Such are the men who should be sent to make
laws and represent the people In the State Sen
ate, where the business Of law making is the OBJ
jcct for which a representative is elected. OF all
the representatives. we have had Hon. John c.
Burch has been the only lawyer, and in our opin-
ion the only one who has served in that capacity
with honor to himself and credit to the section
he represented. Every year we find that the
Senate elect are composed of men, two thirds Of
whom know as little about law and law-making
as the monkey tribe about astronomy and the
movement of the planets.
The people Of the State have paid dearly for
the ridiculous farce Of sending such men to make
laws, in the way of paying the expenses of lti-
cation to have the ignorance of the tar explained.
