WEDDING Yesterday
afternoon and evening, Mr.. Benjamin
Parker and wife of Clarendon celebra-
ted the sSrtteh anniversary of their mar
riage Cards Of invitation were distrib-
uted to large number of friends, our
selves included, but very much to our
regret we were unable to attend. We
learn, however, that the occasion was a
joyful one; that large number of rel
atives and friends were present; and
that the aged pair were made the recip-
tents of some very valuable presents.
Mr.. Parker is 50 years of age, yet time
has touched him very lightly, since he
is hale, hearty and active as most men
of 55. We hope that both may live to
celebrate good many such anniversa-
ries.

FEEIAN AFFAIRs.-The Convention of
Delegates from the Fehian circles, called
by O'Mahony, to take place at New
York on the I'd January proximo, it
would seem from reports published, will
be very generally repudated by the
brotherhood, especially in the West, We
understand the Shawmut, or Massachu
sets organization, will recognize OMa.

nut is composed of thirty-five circles
which were represented in the late Fe
man Convention at Philadelphia by
thirty-nine delegates. The circles are
principally in Boston and the surround
ing towns and John NJ. Tobin is the
State Centre, whose call for representa-
tive delegates to the Convention at New
York says:
There has been a reasonable obstruc-
ton of the machinery of the organiza.
ton since the last Congress, and blame
attached where there was the most zeal.
Gus desire to do good. But let rs nrohe
to the causes of the existing evils. II
IS Tor the brotherhood to know, without
any reservation, through it's representa-
ives, what party or parties are to blame
Ior all this disgrace and obstruction, and
whoever is to blape him condemn with
tongue Of fire. J."
The proposed Convention, as viewed
by the Roberts party, seems of no i'm
portance. They contend that the consti-
tuition, as amended, makes no provision
for the calling together of a Convention
under any circumstances. 1t simply
provides for Congress, to be composed
of Senate and House of Delegates. AS
the Senate will have no participation in
the coming gathering, of course that
convocation will not be Congress and
as such thing as Convention" is un.
constitutional, Of course-according to
the Senate-any action of anybody OF
the I'd Of January will have no weight
nor value whatever.

found by two humane citizens of this
place, in a helpless condition in the
snow short distance above the Ameri-

He said he had been drinking drugged

dozen similar ones that have come to
our knowledge. An out-spoken, uncom-
promising temperance Clergyman was
chosen 10 represent his town in the leg
islature. But his activity at home in the
cause of temperance was so offensive TO
some of his UNCONVENTIONAL and political
friends (?) that they resolved to prevent
his reelection. In order to do this they
tried TO form a coalition with the demo-
Gratis to elect democrat In his place.
The better portion of that party were so
disguised that they refused to have any
thing to do with the measure, and the
temperance candidate was reelected by
an increased majority. We belieye that
a great many candidates could be elected.
if they would adopt the same fearless
course. Although the individual in
question happened to be Republican,
this was not at all question of politics,
but of appetite and interest on one side,
and moral principle on the other. There
are great many prominent "leaders"
of the Republican party, who in their

posed to the present liquor law as the
editor Of the Courier can possibly be.
We cannot pursue this subject farther

suppress the great evil of incompetence.
They are fully convinced that it must be
suppressed and if the wisdom and en-
ergy of man fail they believe that an

MI Henry A. Smalley who has just re-
turned from the Reese River country
gives very interesting accounts of the
richness of that region. We give the
following extracts, which we would re-
mark only Corroborate other statements
obtained from a variety of sources.
On a capital of about 100000 in
vested in 1864, $500, 900, or 80 per cent
in bullion on the amount invested, was
returned from the mines. Now, there
are number of fine mills of large Ca
pacity completed and several more in
process Of erection, by which the ore re-
ducing power of the district will be
multiplied many times, and the cost of
deduction very much diminished.
The system for reducing the ores from
these mines has attained such perfection
that the mills will guarantee so per cent
or within 20 OF the assay, and the best
mill men usually work to within 20 per
cent of the assay, and frequently nearer.
These results are most satisfactory
where the ores, as at Reese River, aver
age over 5000 per ton, or $1,000 per cord
IN quality and where the selected ore
by the ton frequently works 5000 in
large quantities.
The official report OF rock crushed by
the California mill of ten stamps, from
December, 1854, to July, 1866, during
which period the mill was idle eighty
days for building furnaces and repairing
machinery, is as follows: Crushed in az
gregate 693 tons, which yielded $780,
$50 IS, or an average yield of $3.50 36
per ton.
The wide difference between this re-
suit Of the working Of ores below water
and the result of the working of the sur
face ores is shown in the following state
ment from the Iioneer Mill of stamps,
without furnaces Crushed in aggregate
1915 tons 573 pounds, yielding s62 ,282,-
81.
To show the results OF working the
ore OF some of the mines most opened
in this surprisingly rich section of
country, with little or no capital, it is
only necessary to cite the Morgan and
Muncy, which from 35l tons of ore Weld
ed S102,646 so, and the Oregon and
North Star, which from the yield of the
mines, without assessment, built a mill
and acquired other property, besides di.

quarter ending June 80, 1865, gives the

veloped mines, before the great improve.
