County SAFE.-Last week we gave an ar
ticle under this caption which has caused
considerable remark. To some extent the
feeling seems to prevail that it was written
because of some personal i'll feeling towards
the Treasurer elect This impression we
wish to correct. Personally we entertain
the kindest feelings towards Mr.. Chandler
and the most radical feelings of confidence in
his integrity as a man and an officer This
we say in justification of our position, which
has its base in economy and the unquestion.
ed safety of the tax payers. In this position
we are firm. and here reiterate every senti
ment heretofore given.
- With county debt hanging over us, the
simple interest on which is onerous to those
who pay into the public crib and receive
nothing out, we hold it to be simple justice
and right that every official should give all
his talents and energies to the economical
and thorough discharge of his duties, with
the least possible expense to the county
Instead of devising ways and means by
which her treasury may be depleted, il
should be the rule to save every dollar and
make it plethoric.

carry bitches we'll stocked with the pure ele.
ment over their places by small outlay of
money or labor The importance of the
grape culture is realized at Millville. Vine
yards in great numbers are being planted =
Mr.. Asbel has set out twenty acres of vines,
Mr.. White twelve acres. and is constantly
increasing the quantity, Mr.. Ultz has added
twelve acres to his vineyard, Mr.. Wagner
and Mr.. Ellis are also adding largely to their
vineyards, besides many more whose names
did not get In five years from this time,
the country about there will have become so
improved and beautifed as not to be recog-
nizable by those who see it now, and not
again until that time. And the reason is
simple Those at work at it are satisfied
with the locality, and are making homes,
calculating for the future as well as for the
present-and they are right.
During my trip around ! of course talked
some. was more than pleased to find that
the course of the COURIER in our county mat
ters met with, so far as l saw and heard,
unanimous approval and to show their ap
probation and earnestness, those who were
not on your subscription list gave in their
names t. be placed there. | hand you with
this nearly forty new subscribers, who live
on the east side of the Sacramento and there
are many more there who have only to be
seen to get their names-and the kale, too.

BIG BEND OF THE CoLuMB1A.-We learr

BIG BEND OF THE CoLUMBIA.-We learn
that party numbering about fifteen are
about starting for what is called the Big
bend of the Columbia, situated six or seven
hundred miles north of Walla Walla, in
Washington Territory, or about twelve hum
dred miles north of this. The party is pilot
ed by an old resident hereabouts, who says
that he, in company with fifty eight others,
discovered diggings in that locality last sum-
mer that his claim paid him $40 to $50 per
day, &C., &C.; diggings extensive, &c.-the
old story. Many of those who are going will
return, if they don't freeze or starve to death;
some of them have good and well improved
farms in this county, on which they could
make more money in the year than by going
there, even if the whole story is true, for
they cannot work more than two months
after they get there before nature will pre-
sent the alternative of leaving or freezing.
1t is believed that this discovery is on the
line of the Caraboo and Montana range
Wonder if it amt good place to start from
to go to New Granada? They are leaving
Montana now for that point.

WAsHINGToN's BIRTHDAY.-In commem
Grafton Of this day, the Lyon Light Infantry
Of our town gave ball, and invited the
Truman Head Rifles, of French Gulch, to
join them in the festivities of the day. A
portion of the latter company arrived IN
town about 10 A. NJ, and were met by the
Lyons, and our splendid brass band, and
escorted into town. At l P. NJ. both compa
nies. under command of Captain Hudson,
proceeded to the grounds arranged for target
practice. For the fifteen best shots prizes
were offered, and distributed as follows: lst
prize-purse and S25 in coin, P Eames. I'd
gold chain worth SlS, 7. Houtaling. 3D.
Masonic emblems, P. Eames 4th-Derrin
ger pistol, VIM. Dunn. 5tb-gold ring,
Charley Anderson. 6th-cane, Lieut.. Hud'
son. 7th-photograph of Lincoln, Thomas
Greene. 8th-lamp, Wm. Scott. 9th-lamp,
Ed. Gage 10th and l1th-bat, and picture
of Gen. Grant, Sam. Gilbert. l2th-knife,
j. Collier. l3th-overshirt, Mitchell. l4th-
jeff. Davis in petticoats, Waters. 15th-lea-
ther medal, j. Baugh. All the prizes but the
last three were won by members of the Ly-
ons. Thus it will be seen that the Rifles
have won back the leather medal, won from
them about year ago by John Cushing
After the target practice and march back
to the armory, and general wash up after
the days exercises-which were really cred
liable in every sense-all were ready for the
evenings amusements. Dancing commenced
at nine o'clock, and was continued until
tired nature would have no more of it. The
Hall, under the skilful head and hand of
Mr.. Scott the Armorer, wac most tastefully
adorned with evergreens, wreaths of which
were entwined around the portraits of Wash
ington. Lincoln, Grant, Sherman and other
prominent military heroes. The supper was
bountiful, and worthy of the company and
their guests.
Shasta has never witnessed a more pleas
ant holiday, everything considered. Nav
the Lyon Light Infantry and its splendid
band ever continue prominent institutions of
the town. In claiming so much for our own
company, we acknowledge the business of the
pride with which our fellow citizens of the
Gulch regard the Rifles. We can't beat
them and only ask that the Lyons may
be held as their equals. A prominent fea,
ture of the military turnout was beautiful
silk flag, borne by Sergeant Charley Ander-
son. Taken altogether, the 22d was q day
we'll spent.

ROAD AGENTs.-Mr. c. w. Chew, of Te-
hama county, was travelling alone on Thurs
day last, on the Weaver trail, down the
southern slope of Trinity Mountain. when he
was called upon by a couple of disguised
gentlemen, who presented pistols, saying =
- Mr.. Chandler. we want your money Mr..
Chew denied being member of the Chand-
Ter family, but they cut him short with
8. You lie; fork Overland Chew forked a
little over S400 and again said: " You are
mistaken about my being Chandler" We
are not mistaken in this, though" coolly
replied the fellow holding the money, at the
same time shaking the purse with considera-
Bile custo. Mr.. Chew cannot give anything
like good description of the robbers.

SPECIFIC CoNrRAcr LAw.-Greenhacks
made a big fight to have tlis law repealed,
and failed. The Legislature refused to re-
peal it. Pending Legislative action in the
matter, business had become very much un-
settled-those having deposits in the savings
and other banks were rapidly Withdrawing
them in gold ere it became too late to enforce
such payments in anything but greenbacks.
The matter is settled now ard confidence re-
stored. This trifing with the currency of the
country is nearly always damaging. 1t is
just one of those things that law makers may
safely leave to regulate ITSELF

What the result may be time alone must de.

has dissolved all connection between the
Union party and the President. 1t may be

REFREsHING.-On Tuesday last Mr..
Wyatt, an elderly man who has been mining
for years in this vicinity, commenced opening
a claim less than a half mile from town,
and was visited by one of our citizens who,
to amuse himself, took the pick shovel and
pan, and gathered from the bed rock at the
edge of the claim about half a pan full of
dirt and washed it, getting result of five
dollars and fraction over. Mr.. Wyatt is
working away in better heart than even those
who are getting ready for mines afar off,
and says he don't want to go. Ifmen would
but prospect at home with the industry they
are obliged to use in order to make grub in
the northern mines. we would all be better

MCCALL, the indefatigable, is driving a
tunnel from the road opposite Wiser & Ter
ry wine ranch, into. the hill, in an easterly
direction, calculating to run through two
lodes v hich crop out on the hill side in sight
of the road. The work will not be expen.
sive or of long duration, for it cannot require
more than seventy five or hundred feet of
tunnel to accomplish the object. If the lodes
are as rich when he will thus strike them, as
they show in the groupings, two marvelously
rich lodes will have been tolerably well
proven. If we had among us one hundred
such men as Mccall, but few years would
