ANEcDoTE OF STEPHEN GIRARD.-Old Ste

thing about his future prospects. But the

The MoNIrRs.-The editor of the Seisntif
ic American, who has examined the Monitor
Passaic. now undergoing repairs at New
York. says the tti.I to which she was sub
jected during the attack on Charleston proves
that our iron -clads are impregnable. and that
we may safely defy all the English iron clads
and their ornaments. The Whitworth shot
or fac similes ofthem. in majority of cases
struck sideways; they reached the turrets in
all possible positions and show very poor
shooting on the part of the rebels. There is
no indentation on the Passaic deeper than a
tea saucer. and she was the most injured of
the attacking feet except the Keokuk, which
was not Monitor.

The KISSING MARKEr.--At North Berket,
Mass. few years ago. there was Grab
Bag party, and the money raised was to be
applied toward paying the debt of a religious
society. One the ways adopted at that party
to raise money, was. quite a number Of
young ladies offered themselves" TO be
kissed by the gentlemen. upon the payment
of certain sum (ten cents was the more
common price; bat theirs was as much uni.
steadiness in the kissing market then. as
as there is in the gold market now. The
highest price for kiss vas so cents; but
the brisk competition among the ladies to see
who should get the most kisses, brought the
price down to cents. That Grab Party
was attended by the minister and deacons,
the aged. the middle aged, and the young
no objection was made to selling kisses
for cash and it was matter for Thanksgiving
from the pulpit that the efforts Of the society
to raise money to pay its debt had been sue
cessful. -

LIGHT SUPPers.-One of the secret. Of
health is light supper, and yet it is a great
self denial. when one IS hungry and tired at
the close of the day to eat a little or nothing.
Let such one take leisurely a single cup of
tea and bread and butter, and.he will leave
the table as fully pleased with himself
and all the world as if he had eaten heavy
meal. and feel ten-fold the better for it the
next morning. Take any two men under
similar circumtances, strong, hard working
men, Of twenty Eve years; let one take his
bread and butter with cup of tea. and the
other hearty meal, bread, potatoes and tbs
ct ceteras as the last meal ofthe day. and will
venture to affirm that the tea drinker will
outliye the other BY thirty years.

Letter from shingletown.
SHISGLETowN, June 25,

SHINGLETowN, June 25, 1868.
EDITOR CoURIEg During the last few
days the weather here as been very warm
much warmer, in fact, than one might ex-
pect in this elevated region, where the tall
pine waves its spiral peak before the noun.
tain breeze. The roads are very dusty. Woe
to the man who starts for " driren to Hum
baldt at this time, for surely he will be en-
veloped in cloud of dust that will make him
loath his journey. 1t is really pitiful sight
to see the traveller and teamster trudcing
through smothering cloud of dust that can
be compared to nothiug but the red sirocco
which sweeps over the African deserts; but
this latter can be avoided by ones nose in
the sand, while the former follows its victim
as resolutely as the shadow of Hamlet's
ghost.
The greatest resource of this section Of
country being its vast table lands of timber,
naturally produces trade in lumber during
the summer season, at lively rate. Not
withstanding the great competition in this
line of BUSINESS, there is demand enough to
suit the supply. There are three saw mills
here, all br silly employed in getting out lum-
Der for the Valley market.
The social affairs of our neighborhood are
in very bad condition. The families here
live so far apart that il has been impossible to
establish society upon an interesting basis.
As we are in a part of the commonwealth
Of Shasta county, it would be well to say that
our political affairs are somewhat :. mixed"
1t has got to be an old saying that Sierra is
:" pizen;'' but it is my impression that Sierra
vii be all right yet, il you give her time to
call her thoughts together.
General satisfaction prevails among good
Union men upon the selection of nominees
made by the Union Convention. 1t appears
to please the Independents also. No doubt
they think the ticket is weak one, but /
will venture to say that portion of the tick
ct, at least, is very strong selection for
instance, the nominees for Collector and
Sheriff at any rate, from their physical pro.
portions one would suppose they were very
strong men. We are willing to risk them in
the field for the Union cause. L..

MODERN ELoouENcE.-A correspondent of
the Boston Courier gives the following eE-
tract from sermon recently delivered by a
professor of Harvard University, and asks if
students are safe when exposed to such Ian
guage:
Viewing this subject from the esoteric
standpoint of Christian exegetical analysis,
and agglutinatiug the polysyntheical ectob
lasts of homog- neous asceticism, we perceive
at once the absolute individuality of this en-
tify; while from that other stand point of
'ncredulons synthesis. which characterize the
Xenvcra'ic hierarchy of the Jews, we are
consentaneously impressed with the anti per-
istatic quality thereof"
The Shasta courier., 1863-07-04

CONCEALED WEAPoNs.-Our carriers of con
cealed weapons, proprietors of miniature ar.
t'llery establishments, are reminded that the
law against carrying concealed weapons
went into effect on Friday, Goth inst. The
law provides that any person except peace
ofhcer, or traveller, Noah tells you what
traveller isl who shall carry or wear any
pistol, dirk, slung- g-shot, sword in a cane, or
other deadly or dangerous weapon, con.
sealed, shall, upon copyicicn thereof by any
court Of Competent Jurisdiction. be deemed
guilty of misdemeanor, and shall be i'm.
prisoned in the county Jail for thirty nor
more than ninety days, or be fined in any
sum not less than twenty dollars nor more
than one hundred.

l. Subscribers who do not give express notice to
She contrary, are considered wishing to continue
their subscription.
.. II subscribers wish their papers discontinued,
publishers may continue to send them until all

3. If subscribers neglect or refuse to take their

4. If subscribers move to other places without

the former direction, they are held responsible
Notice should always be given of removal.
5. The courts have decided that refusing to take

THE CoURTs AID THE GovERNMENr.-Judse
Leavitt. life long conservative, and at pres
ent Judge of the United States District Court
of Ohio, said in his opinion against granting
writ of hdbeas corpus for Vallandigham,
that the Court cannot shut its eyes to the
grave fact that war exists, involving the most
imminent public danger, and threatening the
suhvcrsion and destruction of the Constitu
ton itself. In my judgement, when the life
of the Republic is imperiled. he mistakes his
duty and obligation as patriot who is not
willing t., concede to the Constitution such
capacity of adaptation to circumstances as
may be necessary to meet great emergency,
and save the nation from hupe,ess ruin. Self
preservation is paramount law, which a ma
ton. as well as an individual, may find it
necessary to invoke.
