A HIGH WATERFALL.-We are informed,
says the Union Democrat, that a fall of
water on the South Fork of the Tuolumne
has recently been discovered, that lays over
the fails of Yo Semitic by seven hundred
feet. The falls at the latter place-at least
the PERPENDICULAR fall, is stated, we believe,
at thirteen hundred feet, while this fall of
water on the Tuolumne is given at two
thousand feet. DR.. King and Mr.. Gardi-
ner under the direction of Prof. Whitney,
the State Geologist, have been exploring
that section of country watered by the
Tuolumne River and branches, and made
the discovery of this fall The gentlemen
visited Sonora the other day, and, after re-
naming day or two, returned to the falls,
where they intend to make complete sur
yey. The country is described as beautiful.
and the valley where the falls are situated
enchanting.

DOES THE METHODIST CHURCH TAKE
HEAVY RISKS AGAINST HE'LL FIRE This
query occurred to us, not long ago, while
listening to the remarks of our worldly friend
who stands by the old M. E. lie says, and
says it sorrowfully, that as soon as an East
ern man is worth twenty five or thirty thou
sand dollars he. with bis household, quits
the Methodist Church it isn't fashionable
enough for him and his well-dressed wife
and daughters and they take first class
tickets in the Episcopal. or some other FASH
ionabIe craft. We asked our friend the
question: If the reason was not, in part,
that the more gorgeous vehicles on the
heavenly line, having larger capital, take
greater risks?' No. said be, the Metho.
dists put some id mean men through /;
it's only for the sake of being fashionable,
and mostly the fault Of the women.-Hum.

HAPPY EVERY DAY.-Sydney Smith cut the
following from newspaper and preserved it
for himself:
When you rise in the morning, form res.
olution to make the day happy one to a
fellow creature. 1t is easily done left off
garment to the man who needs it, kind
word to the sorrowful, an encouraging
expression to the striving-trifes in them
selves light as air-will do it, at least for the
twenty four hours. And if you are young,
depend upon it, it will tell when you are old;
and if you are old, rest assured it will send
you gently and happily down the stream of
time to eternity. By the most simple arith-
metical sum, look at the result. you send
one person, only one, happily through the
day; that is three hundred and sixty-fve in
the course of the year. And supposing you
live forty years only after you commence that
course of medicine, you have made 14,600
beings happy at all events, for time.

The widest measure which this session
has brought to light is the proposition to
incorporate the New York, New Jersey,
Delaware and Cherrystone Railroad. This
is the old AIRLINE" revived Nearly all the
commissioners named in the act reside in
and around Dover. 1t is intended as a
legislative "bugbear" to frighten the Della
ware Railroad, but it will fail in its object.
The Legislature is now struggling through
innumerable cases of divorce and other
business which properly belongs to the
Courts and the County COMMISSIONER
Important topics, such as the publication of
the Revised Code as amended; providing
for the payment of the debt due the general
Government; revision of the criminal law
of the State, and establishing sinking fund
to gradually decrease the State debt, have
been, so far, almost neglected.
1t is currently reported, and generally be-
lieved, that the committee of the Farmers
Bank, who went to Washington this week
for the purpose of converting the Bank into
one of National character, have failed to
meet with success. The amount of bank.
ing capital under the act of Congress has
all been taken, and Congress will not in
crease it until other financial measures are
perfected. X.
