The Way of the World.

It's pleasant when our friends are rich
To meet them day by day,
Or good or i'll, no matter which,
Provided they can pay,
But is there one, you answer not,
Who would or could avouch
Esteem for one who hadn't got
A dollar in his pouch
It's pleasant with our friends to dine,
To see them we'll arrayed,
To bumper them with costly wine,
For which themselves have paid;
To smoke with them, to drive about,
Share cup, caress and couch,
But who could know a man without
A dollar In his pouchl
On sea, on shore, they seem TO say
He's rich and can't be dull;
The gold within his P0rtemonnGis
They think can fill his SKULL.
Let mammOn reign, let genius rot,
Let love, wit, valOr crouch,
They say that he's the only man
Who has the dollars in his pouch.
The maids doth love the pleading swain
Who has at his command
A brown stone front, gOOdly train
OF equipage and land;
But let his fortune cease to smile
Ere love will cease to vouch
And shell exclaim "why can't he show
The dollars in his pouch ~
If our Savior should revisit earth,
The man of toll and care
Howe'er divine-whate'er his worth
How think you would he fare?
They d all exclaim, "imposter, / dare voueh
Think you Gods son would visit earth
Without a dollar in his pouchP'

NEW AND FATAL DIsEAsE.-The Contra Costa
Gazette of January 7th, has the following
t'We learn that there are many and sudden
deaths occurring lately in the neighborhood of
Somersville, in our county. In spite of the skill
of the doctors the cases seem uniformly fatal
Some call this disease malignant scarlet fever.
The symptoms are thus described by Rev. j. j.
Powell, who lives in the vicinity: Cold chills
with a stiffness about the neck, and pain in the
back of the head Then violent fever which
lasts from one to three hours. During the fever
there is no pain After the fever the patient
seems to be drowsy and sleepy; then the col
lapse comes on, the lips turn pale, the eyes glis-
ten. After death the corpse becomes spotted
with brown and red spots, and the general ap-
pearance of the body is blueish. We trust there
will be no epidemic, but that the evil will yield
to more thorough examination and the appli-
cation Of appropriate remedies"

Cutting Timber on the Public Lands

The Commissioner of the Land Office has re-
Gently issued certain orders which, if thoroughly
enforced, will seriously affect the mining COM
munities on this coast. These are to warn all
persons against cutting timber on the public
lands. They are based upon some obsolete
laws which have not been enforced for nearly
fifty years. These old laws have been hunted
up by the Commissioner and warning given that
they will hereafter be rigidly enforced by the
Department. Acting under the instructions of
that officer, Judgment has already been OBJ
tanned against Mr.. Tichnor in Oregon, for the
sum of Sl8,000 for the offense of cutting timber
for numbering purposes. We are informed, by q
Portland paper, that the judgment has since
been released against Mr.. Tichnor and pardon
granted it being the first case of prosecution
under these old laws, and "the Government"
wishing to make an example, and to show that
the law can be, and will be hereafter, strictly
enforced. This will operate very dsastrously
upon the numbering business, of Washington
Territory especially. Petitions for relief have
been forwarded by some of the lumber dealers
of that section but there is little probability of
any favorable action being taken upon them
'The Government wants money and must have
it. Under these laws the Nevada Transcript re-
marks: 'If the regulations are strictly enforced
we cannot get foot of lumber or stick of wood
after the present stock is exhausted No miner
can clear off standing trees to hydraulic his
claims or even wash them down. Everybody
who has cut or washed down trees is liable to
an action. We must stop building and repair
ing houses, bridges, fumes, etc. We can get no
title to the lands, for they are exempted from
sale, and not even allowed to be surveyed OF
pre-empted. Idaho World.

ANOTHER INDIAN WAR AT OwYHEE.-A friend
has showed us letter received from Owyhee,
Ruby City, dated Feb. 9TH From it we learn
that another Indian war is expected The Snake
Indians have made raid upon Pleasant Valley
again, driving all the settlers out of the Valley
John McComins, agent of the Humboldt Express
Company, and another man, whose name was
not given, were killed. The Indians also ran of
the Express stock, five hundred sheep, and had
burned number of houses. Two companies OF
men left Ruby City in pursuit, but there was
little probability of overtaking them, as they
had to pack their blankets and provisions on
foot.
The writer thinks Ruby City will be a lively
camp in the Spring, and great expectations were
being formed Of investments to be made by New
York capitalists. Tunnel rights were all the
rage there. FOCUS mill has stopped work. the

QUARTz.-Mr Murphy, County Recorder, in

Stealing beef has become very prevalent in
this place of late. Several quarters have disap-
peared during the night from the Umatlla and
other markets. Are they taken from the neces-
sity of want, or from more mercenary object2
10.
Quartz is the prevailing topic now with the
people of the Basin, absorbing almost every
other subject of conversation. During the win
ter, notwithstanding the snow, prospecting has
been going on, and the numerous lodges discov-
cred in all portions of the Basin has given the
subject a eopIeRr de rose which excites the live
iest hopes of the future in the breasts of inter-
ested parties. Enough has been already devel-
oped to prove this Territory one of the richest
of mineral countries-I6.
Quartz Deeds, conveying much valuable
ground in this county, have recently been filed
in the office of the Recorder. Messrs. Edward
Learned, of New York City, Charles A. Tow
bridge, of Detroit, and Mr.. Bates, are the gran
tees in several of the most important of these
deeds. The total consideration appearing upon
the face of these conyeyances, including some
intermediary deeds, amounts to Sl6O,0O0 This

timaton in which the quartz interests of this

Convention was recently held in Philadel-

WHEN SHALL WE HAVE A BoAT?-This has been
the all absorbing topic of conversation in this
locality for the past several days. In fact there
has been little else to talk about. In the alb
sence of mails from below, above, or any other
point and from the lack of local excitements
or the transpring of events of general interest
to the community, everybody has gone to spec
ulating and cogitating as to the time when a
steamboat will probably arrive at Wallula.-
The general impression seems to be that boat
will reach there on Sunday next. Some say
that the river is entirely free from ice all the
way to the Dales, with late rise of four feet of
water and no impediments to navigation. 9th
ers assert that there has been no rise in the rv-
er at all, and that boat cannot make the trip
up until there is a rise. The statements are
set forth with great reliability, and founded up
on incontrovertble evidence, Notwithstanding
the fact that they conflict in every particular =
All are anxious for the early arrival of boat,
and especially that portion of or citizens who
are engaged in business pursuits.

any casualties on the side of the troops we are
not informed. They got out of ammunition,
which, had the Indians known, they might have
easily won the fight Teams loaded with provi-
sions and ammunition were dispatched yesterday
from Fort Boise, and the men will probably be
kept there as long as there is a necessity for
them.-Ldaho Statesman.

FROM BURNT RIVERA correspondent, writ
ing from Burnt river under date of Feb. 10th,
says they have had three months of severe win
ter there, and it was showing fast at that date.
The snow was then three feet deep on a level.
Poor cattle were still dying off very fast there,
excepting those on Dixie Creek, near Scott's
Ranch, on the south hill-sides of which snow
has not lain on the ground thirty-six hours at a
time all winter.
An avalanche Of snow came down the noun
tain on Burnt River, near Wilson & Sicilys
ranch, on the 18th, and came near catching
some of Weston's freight teams. Three of his
teams had got past the slide before the snow
came down and two were just behind it. The
snow damned the river up anG flooded the bot
tom and road with snow and water to depth of
three to six feet, rendering the road impossible
for two or three days.
The bridges are not all completed on Burnt
River yet, but will be in short time. There is
but little travel on the road just now, but there
are ample accommodations for travellers.
Prospectors have found six and eight dollar
diggings on Burnt River this winter. The dig
gings are about mile above Scott ranch. Be-
sides this, several quartz ledges have been dis
covered, which prospect equally as well as the
Rockfellow lode. 1t is believed that Burnt
River will yet prove to be very rich mining
camp Prospectors will do well to give it trial.
