OF the absent minister Of Vestry Church. He will
be detained there for about three months. after
which, he informs by letter, it is his intention
to return to Orovie and en- ndeavor to organize u
Church here. We hope he may be able to do so.-
For some reason, the people Of Oroville are very
dilIatory in attending Church. Last Sabbath there
were but six grown persons, and eight children in
attendance at Church. Why is it? Mr.. MEssEx-
GERS services were somewhat better attended than
this, and We trust he may be permitted to return
and arouse our slumbering inhabitants to the exhi
bition Of q greater attention to Church matters.

head of the brewer; but it only served to unbung
the pent up wrath and fury of the latter, and a
stream of infuriate lager a.sailed the sturdy
butcher with irresistible force. 1t muscle vs..
spirit. The ponderous blows Of the butcher were
fearful to behold, as they swept around with the
force and steadiness of huge arms Of q win dmill,
cleaving the air and countering heavily on the
head OF his opponent. But they were no guard
against the lively spirit that assailed him.

up and hi. him in the face and he rolled and roared
in the street like dying calf the Brewery had just
got finely at work with the double back action of an
oscillating engine, and perceivng his advantage,
evidently determined that his opponent should on

O0O for the purpose of attaching a stern wheel to
squaw's acorn basket, to run on Chico Creek. be
tween the steamer landing on the Sacramento river
and the terminus Of the Idaho and California mail
route. The basket will run one day with the mail
and the next with fast freight. Weekly steamers
will convey passengers to San Francisco. where
