ings in attachment, taken from the files and rec

are taken Der batim, ct Herdtim, ct plnctlatim

forever as a shining light to illumine the dark,
benighted disciples of Blackstone for generations

of legal or illegal proceedings that can match
these learned precedents,' would like to see
them. The idea of justice of the peace bring

he lost in the snow-storm of last winter, and upon
an affidavit dictated by himself and sworn to be-
fore himself issuing writ of attachment in his
own favor, and levying on some $1,000 worth of
property to satisfy his (said iustices) claim of one
hundred dollars, is too outrageous to go unex-

RICH QUARTZ LODE NEAR AUBURN
We learn from Mr. Curry, Mossman &
Cos messenger, that on Sunday evening
last qua, tz lode was discovered by Mr.
Comstock, on French Gulch, near Auburn,
which yields near one hundred dollars to
the pan. Mr. G. states that four hundred
and ten dollars was taken from the lode on
Monday in about three hours work. The
quartz was broken up with such materials
as they had convenient, and the gold picked
and panned out of it. A specimen of the
quartz, weighing $12,25 was sent over to
this city for exhibition. 1t is somewhat
decomposed-more than t~o-thirds gold,
and is evidence that the lode must be very
rich. Mr.. Curry saw pieces of the quartz
as large as his hand " hich seemed to be
equal in richness to the specimen brought
over. A private letter from Mr. Barnett
confirms the above statements.
