so that the Cussom-H House value in gold
Certain to be less than the actual cost Of
the goods landed at this single port during
the fiscal year just closed can hardly be
less than three hundred millions Of dol

pings of a claim owned by the Virgin
Company, and located near the center OF
the District. I have never, either in Ne
yada. California, or Mexico, seen such ricn
ou,croppings as this District exhibits. But
little work has been done here yet, owing
to a wan, of all kinds Of supplies; u
there are a number Of claims here, the
rock of which will pay richly at the out
crop, and q large number Of tons OF bould-
ers, rich in silver. might be gathered on
the mountain side and in the ravines OF
Silver Mountain. The Dahlgrep. Com
a of New York, have commenced
putting up furnaces and opening their
mines, and Mr.. Raymond, who represents
another New York company, is on the
road here with machinery.
"Mr. ]. F. Smith, who will deliver this,
viii give to you a fuller description Of our
prospecting town than it is possible for me
TO do within the limits Of a letter. I also
send you by him q specimen Of crystalized
rock salt, that I got at Salt Mountain,
twenty-five miles northeast from Callyille.
The range of hills for several miles are Of
pure ~crys,alized salt, OVERLAND with'a thin
covering of earth. If l had had the tools
to get it out, and any way to carry it.
could have sent you q crystal without q
flaw, of fifty pounds weight. and as pure
as the small specimen"

The LAWS IN IRsLAND.-As an evidence
of the impartial nature Of the laws in Ire
land, we quote the following decision
lately delivered in the Court Of Criminal
Appeal. We have heard much abou,
civil and religious liberty in Ireland. bu,
what must Jul American readers think Of
the law that sentences q Protestant mar
to Eve years penal servitude for mar
rying a Catholic wife The day of bigotry
and intolerance are not yet over in Ire
land. The following decision of the court
we take from an Ashlone paper:
An important decision on the marriage
law was pronounced on Thursday by the
Court OF Criminal Appeal. The question
arose in the case Of q man named Tanning,
who was convicted Of bigamy at the Com.
mission Of the Oyer and Terminer held In
Dublin last October. The prisoner was a
Protestant, and his first wife was a mem.
Der Of the same church. His second wife
was a Roman Catholic, and the marriage
ceremony was performed by a Roman
Catholic priest ! n Westland row chapel,
Dublin. The jury found, in reply to
questions from the court, that the prisoner
professed Professionalism within twelve
months of the second marriage. and that
he represented himself to be Roman Cath
Ollie at the time of that marriage. Mr..
Justice Keogh thereupon directed the jury
to convict the prisoner, and sentenced him
to FIVE years penal servitude.
