The District Court, Hon. S. w. Brockway
presiding, has been in session during the past
week, and several important cases, involving
property to a large amount have been
brought before it for adjudication. An un-
usually large number of witnesses and jurors
have been in attendance, which, together
with several prominent lawyers from abroad,
has given our town lively and business-like
appearance. The proceedings will be found
in another column. On Thursday evening
Court adjourned until Monday, April 23d.

The weather during the past week has been
as fuctuating as gamblers fortunes. Mon =
day and Tuesday were the coolest days We
have had for a month. Hoary-headed Win
ter seemed making gigantic effort to retain
his icy grasp upon US, but the warm sunshine
and 5almy zephyrs of Spring soon compelled
the expiring giant to succumb. Fortunately
the fruit was so far advanced that it could
not be injured by the frost. Wednesday was
as warm and pleasant as one could desire
Thursday was cold, rainy and disagrceable-
u regular Nova Scotia day. Verify, the eli
mate of California is past finding out.

IMPRovEMRNrs.--Our town has been stead
lily improving during the past year. The
portion which was destroyed by the disas-
trous fire which occurred year ago last Feb
ruary, has been nearly all rebuilt, and were
it not for the blackened debris of the Union
Hotel, our streets would present very cred
liable appearance. On the site of the old
Post Office, Messrs. Mayhem s. Riddell are
erecting building for Hexter & Co., to be
used as a butcher shop. 1t is nearly COM
pleted, and soon the sweet, harmonious mu-
sic of the sausage machine will be heard
where formerly letters, papers, peanuts and
pop were dispensed. What transition!

should not sfarve, ordered the n
tions to be distributed, and faithful

As soon as tie owners saw their
provisions disappearing, they waited
on Gen. Jackson, and agreed to
accept his terms. Everything went
on until he offered in payment
United States Treasury notes. They
refused to take them, and demanded
gold. Jackson reasoned with them
until he found they were inexorable
in their demand. He then ordered
a file of soldiers to be detailed, two
of them with axes, to place the un.
patriotic owners on the fiatboats on
which their goods had been stored.
Gen. Jackson said that, after he had
placed them on the boats, he made
what he told them was his last appeal,
and at the last moment they consent
ed to take the Treasury notes. He
paused at this part of the statement
until Mr.. Guthrie asked him what
he intended 10 do IN case of a per-
sistent refusal. The old patriot re-
piled that he "would have ordered
the two soldiers armed with axes to
cut the cables, and the fellows ON
board might have foated to hell or
Texas, he would not have cared
which," He said, "a man who
would not trust his country when
engaged in war was not fit to live"
We heartily say "Amen" to Old
Hickory's patriotic sentiment. We
regret that he is not here now to
pack unpatriotic currency gamblers
on fiatboats and float them to un-
known shores.

When once placed in thls position
he will be unable ia maintain his
Prond and noble place before parties !;
but, by the force OF necessity, he
will he compelled To adapt his course
to one or the other. In the vote Of
the fifty-thrcc Republicans for quail
fed suffrage in the District of Colum-
bia the President is furnished with q
plain solution ofthe difficulties which
now await him. In this vote he will
find the material to avert the danger
which threatens his Administration.
Unless Mr.. johnson seizes this op-
portunity, and acts upon it without
delay, the power that he now holds
and can WELD will pass forever from
his hands. Inasmuch as the Radicals
in Congress are determined not to
allow him a voice in their schemes
until they have so fortified their po-
sition as to make their success certain
in srite of the President. Andrew
johnson has no other course left than
the removal of all those men from
his Cabinet who are directly or indi-
rectly in completely with that fac :
ton. There is no time for hesitation
or doubt. Silence and inaction on
the part of the Executive are all the
Radicals in Congress want. This
Cabinet is not his own, and the peo-
pie will sustain him in removing Mr..
Stanton. Let him, then, remove
the leading conspirator. and he will
find tho clouds which now threaten
his Administration disappearing as
the mist before the morning sun.
The conservative portion of Con-
gress will take courage, and, with
the assurance of the support of the
President, backed by the people, the
policy of his Administration will be
endorsed by even this Congress, con-
fidence will be restored, the UNION
MEN North and South be abe to
maintain their position, and disun-
ionism, whether from secessionists
in the South or Radical Jacobins in
Congress aud at the North, will re-
ceive its final quietus.

LENGTH OF GEOLOGICAL PERIODS.
All the facts of geology tend to
indicate an antiquity, of which we
are beginning to form but dim
idea. Take, for instance, one single
formation-our we'll known chalk.
This consists entirely of shells, and
fragments of shells deposited at the
bottom Of an ancient sea far away
from any continent. Such process
as this must be very slow; probably
we should be much above the mark
if we were to assume rate Of depo-
sition of ten inches in a century.
Now the chalk is more than 900
feet in thickness, and wonld have
required, therefore, more than 120,-
900 years for its formation. The
fossiliferous beds of Great Britain,
as a whole, are more than 1000 feet
in thickness, and many which, with
us measure only few inches, on
the continent expand into q strata
of immense depth; while others Of
great importance elsewhere arc
wholly wanting with u, for it i ~.

MAKING A NEEDLE.-Needles are

mdue Oh eteeI wire. uc wire Is
first cut by shears from coils into the
length of the needle to be made.
After a batch of such bits of wire are
cut off they are placed in hot fur
mace, then taken out and rolled back
ward and forward on a table until
they are straight. They are now to
be ground. The needle pointer takes
up two dozen or 80 of the wires, and
rolls them between his thumb and
fingers, with their ends on the griud-
stone. first one end and then the 9th.
er. Next comes the punching Of the
eyes; and a boy does it so fast that
the eye can hardly keep pace with
him. The splitting follows, which
is running fine wire through doz.
en- of these twin needles. A woman
with little anvil before her files be-
tween the heads and separates them.
They are now complete needles, but
rough aud rusty, aud they easily
bend. The hardening comes next.
They are heated in batches in fur
mace, and when red hot are thrown
into a pan of cold water. Next they
must be tempered, and this is done
by rolling them backward and for
ward on a hot metal plate. The pol-
ishing still remains to be done. On
very course cloth needles are spread
to the number of forty or fifty thou
sand. Emery dust is then strewn
over them, oil is sprinkled, and soft
soap daubed by spoonsful over the
cloth; the cloth is then rolled up,
and with several others of the same
kind thrown into sort of washp0t,
to roll to and fro for twelve hours or
more. They come out dirty enough /;
but after rinsing in clean hot water
and tossing in saw dust they become
bright and are ready to be sorted
and put up for sale.
MAMMOTH SKELEToN.-There are
other important and wonderful de-
velopments, made in. mining, aside
from the exhuming of the metals
from their recent hiding places. Re.
Gently on Magher's Bar, opposite
Nevada, says the Montana Post, the
fossil remains of a race of human
beings which at some previous time
had inhabited that country, were
disinterred at depth of about 16
feet from the surface. Judging from
the parts of the skeleton found, the
individual to whom they originally
belonged could not have been less
than from ten to tweve feet high.
Remains of a quadruped were alec
found, indicating an animal twice
the size of the Asiatic elephant The
remains were embedded im . clos.
diluvial deposit and in what the con
fgursticn Of the eouutry shows Va,
cuce the Eddy Of river.

was to have two clerks; an Agent,

had the bill become law, the Pres.
ident could have appointed an Agent
and two clerks for each county
in the country, making with Com
missioners Assistant Agents, and
clerks, no less than GAIA officers,
whose aggregate salaries and expen-
ses would have cost the Government
not less than $14. 600, 900 per annum.
just think of the immense amount
of patronage which the bill provided
for throwing into the Presidents
hands! Had he been an ambitious,
unscrupulous, and unpa.riotic man,
would he, think you, have refused
to spread throughout the Nation
some $500 agents, paid by the Gov
ernment, to work for his political
interests and future advancement !?
If he had been a bad, ambitions, and
unpatriotic man, would he not have
gladly availed himself of this oppor-
tunity to grasp power and influence,
Mt the expense Of the public treasury?
But supposing the bill had become a
law, and the President should have
modestly refrained from extending
its provisions over more than the
Southern States, let US see what it
would cost the country in that'event.
In addition to the officers provided
for above, the bill provided that the
negroes should be furnished with
rations, clothing, houses, lands, ETC.,
at the expense of the Government.
There are in the late rebel States
900 counties. The bill provided-in
addition to Assistant Commissioners
for one Agent and two clerks for
each county, and that each Agent
should be supported By a competent
military force. One hundred troops
for each county would be little
enough for this purpose. We should
then have one Commissioners, with
25 clerks; % Assistant Commission.
ers, each with two clerks; and
90, 900 troops; and as there are over
1000, 900 negroes, at least ratious,
daily, or their equivalent in cost,

The expenses then would amount

FEMALE SUFFRAaE.-The strong
minded portion ofthe better half Of
the Republic are looking out for
their political rights. Since the
negrophilists are making such 9
rumpus about their proteges and
pets, the masculine portion of the
fair sex have begun to move for an
extension of the suffrage to them
selves. Now is certainly the time
to move in the matter, now IN tho
estimation Of Congress, width woman
are the equal Of negroes. The Sum. !.
ner.S Stevens gang should be forced
to face the music. The simple ques-

STRANGE fHExoMExox.-The Yre-
,ka Journal relates q strange pheno-
menon which occurred on Satur-
day, the 11th OF February, at a point
about Is miles above the Jackson
vile road, on the klamath river:
GA party had tied their canoe at
the hank of the stream, and very
soon after were much astonished
and awe.stricken to observe the bed
of the river raise up, and the hill a
short distance back of the bank sink
down, SO as to make level ground,
without disturbing the large trees
or river bank. The ground pre-
sented a gradual raise from the
river, and was thirty feet high when
it sunk and broke of, leaving an
abrupt bluff some fifty feet back of
the old bark. The bed of the river
raising on the side of the trees,
formed large bar, and turned the
water into new channel about fifty
feet on one side of the canoe, leaving
it high aud dry. The earth raised
up in the river comprised mass Of
chalk formation with large boulders
of rock, on immense bar above the
level Of the river. Those who wit
messed the unprecedented convulsion
secured large quantity of fish sud.

by the occurrence, and the town was
literally supplied with messes Of
fine trout. No cause is known or
surmised for this suppression and
elevation, and the subject is open
to scientific research. 1t may have
something to do with the late earth.

ton of Mount Hood, and the next
phenomenon may be the eruption of
Mount Shasta. Who knows2
