NORTH AMERICAN RsAlgF CoMPASY.-A
number of gentlemen in rehania and Shasta
.unties are about organizing company
upher the above name, fn the purchase of all
shares of mining stock which may be sold for
delinquent assessments below their market
value, allowing the owners of the shares Sc
sold TO redeem by paying the amount of as
sessment and expenses Of sale. together with
five per cent. thereon. Under the law regu
latIng sales for delinquent assessments, the
shares Of manv Stockholders are sold without
the owner heing advised of any assessment
standing against Lis stock. as the law does
not require personal notification of the levy,
which indeed would he impossible in many
instances on account of the migratory char
acter of our population. The relief that the
proposed association will afford to delinquent
Stockholders who may desire to redeem stock
in valuable mines, commends it TO the en-
enlargement and good will of our citizens
generally.

dav evening of last week, our worthy can
didate for Coroner was vending his way
from this city homeward. He passed a
number of the 'untorrifed' retuI ming

informs us, when near two miles out, came
to one who was weary and had fallen by
the wayside" The night was dark, too
much so to recognize features with ease,
but Mars heart was filled with the good
Samaritan" and desiring to relieve and
comfort the afflicted, he stopped down and
bent over the poor unfortunate before him
enquiring at the same time his name and

FIENDIsH.-On Friday evening last, as
the train was returning from Warren.
when about mile and half below Gala
mine, MIR. Pierce, the engineer discovered
some eight or ten old ties piled upon the
track a short distance ahead of the engine,
evidently placed there to throw the train
off the track He instantly whistled down
the brakes, but it was too late to entirely
stop the train. The engine struck the ties
knocked four or FIVE of them off the track
and jumped over the rest. to height of
about eight inches, lighting q gain fair and
square upon the rails. The brake Of the
tender was torn to pieces, which, luckily
was the only damage done. We under
stand this is the third time within the last
six months that distractions have been
placed upon the track within half q mile
of the same locality. The Railroad Com
pany know of no cause for grievance any
one has against them that would lead to a
much less crime than endangering the
lives of all who might be on a train, as
well as destroying the engine and cars
The guilty person, whoever he may be, is
unsuspicioned, and well it is for him per-
sonally, but not for the community or
humanity.

to Us there is rarely man in this city
who would not be willing to contribute
something towards the construction of a

uection, the news would be received here
at least twelve hours sooner than 1t is now,
and who is there among US that would not
be willing to pay something for such an
arrangement The conveniences of tel
egraph are much greater than many peo-
q c imagine. Those who now think they
would never have occasion for its use,
would ind it otherwise, if line was
erected 10 Warren, where it would connect
Swith a line in al directions. The Rail

LAFAYETTE Co FAIR-We attended the
Lafayette Co Fair on Thursday, the last
day. and were much pleased with the ex-
hibition. The past season has been un-
usually unfavorablc fer farm products, and
yet the show in that line was creditable,
even for prosperous season. There was
not as much on exhibition as might have
been desired, or expected under more
favorable circumstances, but what there
was exhibited was good. The fruit de-
partment was fine. In catt'e, horses,
sheep and swine, the exhibition was good,
both in numbers and quality All things
considered, the fair was a success.
