SEVERE RELIGIOUS DIscIPLINE.-New York
papers give an account of horrible murder
recently committed in that State. The per.
petrator was fiend named Lindsey, Pres
byterian clergyman. He whipped little
son of his-a child under three years of age
to death, because the little fellow would
not say his prayers The brute beat the
child for two hours with shingle, breaking
three of his fingers and bruising his body all
over so that the blood oozed out. He only
ceased his punishment when he found tho
child was dying. The fanatical scoundrel
who perpetrated this deed deserves no better
than eternal roasting in the hottest portion
of an old fashioned Presbyterian hell but
previous to being consigned to that hot abode,
he should be fayed alive with addcrs' fangs.
The Shasta courier., 1866-07-28
i RAPE.-A most hellish deed was committed

sevesal miles from this city, by wretch WHO
deserves instant death, he having committed
rape upon child three or four years of age.
On Tuesday last the child was noticed to be
in pain, and upon examination the cause was
discovered and the mans name was told by
her, he having been engaged to work about
the place, and that day had left. His name
we have not learned. the neighbors there with
whom we have conversed not having heard it.
Several neighhors yesterday found the fellow
a few miles off, and carried him to Linden.
t, he examin d lie ore Justice A. L. Dudley.
The prisoner was found to be diseased. The
father of the child was prevented killing the
wretch by the interference of his friends We
have not learned the result of the examina
ton before Justice Dudley Stockton Herald
1911.
From the same paper of a subsequent date
we learn that the scoundrel's name was O.
A. Weaver. and that he was discharged by
Justice Dudley. After his discharge some of
the citizens, residing near Linden, got him in
possession, and passing by Justice Dudley,
he claimed his protection. Justice Dudley
interfered and secured his release. The
same night couple of citizens got possession
of Weaver, aud the result NAV only be sup
posed.

WANTED.-A great want in this locality,
at the present time. is a small foundry suita-
BILE for the casting. of dies for quartz mills,
and other small castings that are subjected. to
great wear in crushing. We understand
that Charles Overmeyer, and another gentle
man of French Gulcb, have such an enterprise
under advisement. 1t can be made good
thing, gentlemen. Go in and win. Make your
beginning. and increase according to the
demands for your work. and you will soon
have business of considerable magnitude.
There is sufficient material here to last
small concern for several years, which can
be had for the picking up; then the railroad,

SAD AccIDENr.-James and Cornelius, sons
of Mr.. John King, of Folsom, aged respect.
lively ten and twelve years, were drowned in
the American river on the 20th while bath
ing. 1t happened thus the older boy could
swim and dive, the younger could not; the
elder, James. was in the act of dressing, after
coming out of the water, when he beheld his
brother, who was sitting on a rock at the
waters edge, slide into the river at point
where the water was very deep. He imme
diately jumped in to rescue him, and was
seen near the shore with his brothers. finger
in his mouth, and struggling to drag hin,
out in that manner. SO as to have free use Of
his arms, but as he nearcd the edge he was
so much exhausted that the current swept
both from time to eternity. The bodies were
recovered n short time after the occurrence Of

EXTRA SEssIoN.-Read the following from
the Marysville Appeal. The Appeal is q
convert from the waiting process" to the
acting:
We suppose that Governor Low will soon
call an extra session of the Legislature for
the purpose of passing the proposed Amend
ment to the Constitution. Every member OF
either House is fully advised of the sole OBJ.
ject of the special meeting. When they meet
will majority remember the maxim THAT
honesty is the best policy?" We warn our
Representatives Of the danger as we'll as the
ture, when it meets, can SO conduct its busi-
ness as to win the respect of our opponents
as we'll as the commendation Of the whole
Union Party. If a special session assemblies
there will be but one single act to perform
vote for and pass the Amendment. That
done the Legislature should possess the
stamina to adjourn.
We did think it was wise to wait and
ascertain whether the vote of California
would be needed to ratify the Amendment
But this policy will not do because other
States might follow our precedent. In such
a contingency there would be IL failure of the
Amendment. The latest kilograms allow US
to infer that Tennessee has adopted the
Amendment; and this fact brightens oul
hopes of final success. Let the special ses
sion be held, and let every Union member
understand that the future success of the
Union Party depends in great measure upon
the wise action of the majority.

PRINCIPLE VS.. OFFIcE.-U. S. Attorney
General Speed. ana Postmaster General Den

there is honesty even in high places; that the
glitter of position. in their estimation, is
secondary to conscience. With moral
courage worthy of emulation, these gentlemen
have declined. by resigning their high posi-.
tions. to be longer associated with an admin.
istration wherein my policy" was not

do themselves justice in retiring from posi-.

PorosI.-This company, having become
satisfied, from the working of twenty-five
tuns of rock, under the improved system
introduced by Mr.. Catron, the superintend-
ent. that there is no mistake about the pay
having realized $1754 90 from that quantity
of rock, besides the sulphurets, which are
abundant and rich, and will carry the value
of the rock per tun to over SlOO-they are
now driving work on the inclines and getting
out rock. Meanwhile the mill is working the
tailings that had accumulated from work
under the old regime, and making money
rapidly. Men, to increase the under ground
working force: have been sent for below, and
are daily expected. The mine will probably
work twenty five or thirty hands, as soon as
it is opened little more.

MAMxorH.-This company's lode at Quartz

MAxxorH.-This company's lode at Quartz
Hill, known as the Harrison, is prospecting
beyond all precedent. One of the workmen
brought into town this week specimen
which he declares is no more than fair av-
erage of nine tuns of rock now on the sur
face. Eight ounces of it were crushed in a
mortar. and panned out pretty close in wa
ter-thus losing considerable. The residue
was amalgamated with quicksilver, and at
terwards cleansed with acid. The result was
81 43, in dust as fine as -four. The estimated
value of the prospect is S. 500 per tun. There
is no doubt in the minds of experts who have
examined the rock that the nine tuns now out
will yield from $4,000 to $2O, 900. at the
lowest possible estimate. Want of water has
heretofore been great drawback on the
working of this MILL This trouble is being
obyiated by tanks, or reservoirs, arranged so
that the water can settle and be worked over
and over, plan which it is believed will
work we'll. We are learning something ev-
cry day, and the work goes bravely on.
