The Lumber In n Single Tree
1t was called the Fremont Pine, and
was situated about fourteen miles cas-
OF Placer2iIle, near the emigraut road
Its history and proportions are thus
sketched by the San francisco Herald.
In circumference two feet from the
ground il measured twenty nine feet, OF
nine feet in diameter.
| At the commencement of the rainy
season last autumn, Levin Payne and I
A. Dimitt determined on cutting it down
for the purpose of working it into shin,
giles. twas chopped off only two feet
from the ground, as there was no appa-
rent diminution in size for fifty feet up
ward. As many men as could work
around it chopped it of in two days
Seven men now commenced operations
upon il, and have continued, with but
little interruption, the entire winter and
spring.
The first eight feet, though perfectly
sound, was not worked in consequence
ofits being a little caty and cross-grained
Above this, eight cuts we're taken, Of
eight feet each and at this distance, or
seventy feet from the stump, it was sew
en- feet eight inches in diameter. From
these eight cuts, five hundred shakes,
four feet long BY six inches wide, and
two hundred and twenty-five thousand
sixteen inch shingles have been made
By irving and shaving, and without
the least loss Of timber. Three more
eight feet cuts will easily make forty
thousand shingles more, but with some
little loss Of timber, there being few
small dry limbs IN the last cut. lsais
will make in all two hundred and sixty
FIVE thousand shingles, at twelve dollars

the stump, and We have no less a sum

| This case, which has occupied the at.
tention Of our County Court before Hon
Judge Emory, for over d week, was
brought to a sudden termination on
Wednesday last
The entire time has been spent in
discussing the points arising with ref
cnce to the admission Of the testimony
Of Miss Mary Flemming. On Wedues-
day, Judge Emory decided that the tes-
timony Of Miss Flcmming would be ad-
missible, If the State could bring home
to DR.. Stokes the knowledge Of certain
acts alleged TO have been committed up
on Miss Flemmibg aud others confined
in Mount Hope, whereby the charge Of
conspiracy between Dr. Stokes and
Mary Blcnkensop conld be established.
The State confessed itself unable to DO
this, consequently the prosecution was
abandoned

The Republican Party Break
Ing Up.

The New York HeraH Of Monday
says the outrageOusly radical measures
Of Sumner and Stevens are breaking
up the Republican party which could
have ruled the country for the next
century had it been properly managed.
IL elected Lincoln over Mcclellan in
1864 because all the soldiers and the
friends of tho soldiers gave il their votes;
but now we see that all the great Gen.
erals like Grant, Sherman and Thomas,
have declared against the radical policy
in their reports, and that the soldiers
arc indignant at the efforts made for i'm
mediate, universal and unconditional ne
gro suffrage The result win be the
organization Of d new conservative party
that win anpihilate the Republicans.
The only military men who endorse
Sumner and Stevens in their crusade
against the President are Ben Butler
and Carl Schurz. These are all the
soldiers, if they may be called soldiers,
that the Republicans now retain in,
their party.

other days in the strictest seclusion. A
year passed away, when, one day, the
Count, Immediately after his return to
France, accompanied by his valet, pre-
sented himself at the residence Of his
betrothed, aud solicited an Interview
This was refused. He, however, with
the persistence of lover, pressed his
suit and finally the lady made her ap-
pearancc, closely mufiIcd in double
veil. Az the sound Of her voice the
Count rushed forward to embrace her,
but, stepping aside, she trcmblingly told
him the story of her sorrows, and burst
into tears. A heavenly smile broke
over the Counts handsome features, as
raising his hands adoye his head, he ex-
claimed, "Itis COPS work; Tam bhinol"

it left their expressions unchanged and

necessary to add that their marriage
was shortly after solemnizod. 1t is said |
that at this day may often be seen at the
Emperor's receptions an officer leaning
upon the arm of a lady closely veiled
and they seem to be attracted to the
spot by their love of music.
