A Rich SrRIKE.-The Highland Company,
of French Gulch, on Tuesday last struck a
very rich vein of decomposcd quarts in their
lead, which surpasses anything before found
in this rich section of our county. The rock
is like honey comb, and is perfectly studded
with gold, presenting to the eye the pure
gold, which appears to have been blown
through the assures of the rock. They have
explored this vein for about FIVE feet long by
five feet deep and fnd the rock equally rich
This company have their quartz mill on the
ground, and they expect to have it in run,
| ming order in about six weeks They have
over 800 tons of rock now on the spot ready
for crushing, and owing to its great richnes,
they keep guard over it night and day, tt
keep it from being rihed of its richest speci
mems. Six thousand dollars has been offered
and refused for one fifth of the mine, befor,
this last discovery.

Homicide.

Last Friday night a homicide was commit
case was examined into before Justice Hart,
of Horsetown, on Saturday, and defendant
discharged. The circumstances as they have
been related to US are as follows: 1t seems
there had been an old differance of opinion
existing between Charles McGee and Charles
Lund, about some matter, and on Friday
last Lund, the deceased, came to GAINESVILLE
very much intoxicated and commenced max
threats against McGee, who kept butche
shop in town, and who was engaged in his
shop during the evening. Lund was armed
with a Colts revolver, and during the even
ing had discharged two shots in the street
and seemed to be beyond the control of his
friends. McGee to avoid any difficulty put out
the lights in his shop, but remained on the
inside, closing the gates at the front of the
building. Lund came to the shop in search
of McGee and entered the place searching
the premises, but did not find what he was
after, although McGee was in the shop at the
time. After he went away McGee sent word
to Lund's friends on the outside to take him
away and not let him come back there, as if
he did, and continued his threats, he would
get hurt. Later in the evening Lund got
away from his friends and came back to the
shop. In the mean time McGee had loaded
his rifle, which he used in shooting beeyes,
and still remained in the shop. When Lund
came back and was about entering McGee
fired, the ball taking effect in the upper part
of the breast and came out at the back of the
neck. Simultaneous with the shot one of
Lund's friends seized him by the collar to
take him away but too late to save him. He
fell and expired Immediately. McGee came
to Horsetown that night and gave himself up
to the officers of the law The facts being
inquired into, the defendant was discharged
from custody.

Sons OF TEMPERANDE IN TRINITY COUNTY.
About year ago James A. Davidson,
Grand Lecturer of Sons of Temperance for
California, visited Trinity county, and sue
ceeded in awaking sufficient interest to or.
ganize five Divisions of the Order in various
parts the county. There are now eight Di-
visions S. of I. in Trinity county, and the
interest of the public in the Association is
increasing steadily, as the gratifying refor-
nations and improvements which have taken
place in many individuals and families have
demonstrated unmistably that the Order of
the Sons of Temperance is indeed public
benefactor; the friend to all, the foe of none
A Son of Temperance who writes us from
Lewiston, Trinity county, says: flames A.
Davidson has been lecturing in Weaverville,
Douglas City, Lewiston, &C., with much sue
cess, and has been much encouraged in find
ing the cause in so prosperous a condition.
A great increase Of members, it is to be
hoped, will be the result of the lectures. AT
one of Davidson's meetings at Douglas City
an innkeeper was convinced of the evil influ-
ence of the sale of intoxicating liquors, and
with four other gentlemen joined the Sons of
Temperance, and then threw his liquors out
of doors and opened teetotal hotel, being
resolved never again to engage in the use or
sale of alcoholic drinks. The Sons of Tenn
perance at Douglas City are very jubilart
over this matter, as the inn keeper in ques-
tion is first rate fellow, and one calculated
to be very influential in gaining men over to
total abstinence. The Sons of Temperance at
Douglas City and Lewiston have built and
paid for the halls in which they meet. and
are rapidly increasing in numbers and iLfu
ence"
Mr.. Davidson is to lecture in Shasta on
Sunday evening next, and he will doubtless
be received well by the brethren of this town
and the public generally Mr. Davidson has
organized twenty-five Divisions of the Order
of S. of I. in California last season, and has
lectured in some twenty nine counties Of the
State. As he speaks from personal expe.
rience of both sides of tho question, we advise
all the young men to attend his meeting, and
let them see to it that his cautions and warn
ings are needed. All friends of genuine pro-
gress will ever be found friendly towards the
Temperance reform. Men Of stability and
integrity of character are especially wanted
in these societies to give them efficiency and
permanency.
