A ~CoNTRAsT.--Accidentally turning
over the pages of that most genial book,
Mr. Webster's Private G Correspondence
our eye rested on tho following words.
They. are taken from a letter of Mr..
Webster,to his daughter, dated '.Colum,
bia, s. c. May 'l3, lS47, Thursday
morning, six o'clock, at Mr. Prestop,s!'
The letter thus concluded:t3Qi .5 II.
We arrived last evening by railroad
at 6 o'clock, and were received. with all
kinds and degrees Of hospitality. The
college buildings illuminated IN the
evening, and tile boys made torcblight

Our NEIGnBoRs of the township of Chico, being
without suitable place for holding religious ser
vices, and giving benefits for the aid of charitable
institutions the Chico Light Iutantry have resolved
that the use of their Armory Hall, be furnished
with lights on all such occasions free OF charge.
Should occasion require we doubt not the Light in
fantry would be equally as gallant in charging the
breast works of the foe as they are in refusing
to charge the Church. Such gallantry merits a
wreath of arms. But the necessity for its display
does not speak well for the religious sentiment of
that modern Garden of Eden. We fear their re
licious appetite is becoming morbid, and the Army
Worm will destroy their crops The youth Of that
township certainly ought TO be provided with an
attractive Church. in which they could spend the
Sabbath mere proftaby than in lettering around
the cross roads or barrooms in idleness or running
horses and taking lessons in wickedness generally.
Something should be done, or we fear Chico will be
uneone. If the religious element of the township
does not soon commence rustling the dry-bones of
its sinners the Board of Supervisors should furnish
them with Bureau, to encourage revivais and
hold camp meetings, making use of the Light In
fantry as an auxiliary attraction to induce attend
ance, by such moderate bayonet exercise as may
be found necessary.

REruRSED.-Our fellow citizen and former
County Recorder, A. Stevenson. Esq, dropped in
upon US for a brief call on Tuesday morning. He
has Just returned from New York, and, after stop
ping day or two here, continued his journey to
Humboldt, Nevada where he is engaged in extern
sive mining operations in connection with New
York Company 1t is quite probable that Mr..
Stevenson will engage in extensive mining opera
tons in this county and if So we trust the means
at his command will restore the palmy days of
Butte, when hundreds of pounds of dust were TAX
en- out weekly, and our streets were crowded with
a busy and prosperous multitude. The excitement
attending the discovery of silver mines in the ter
ritores. lured thousands from profitable placers in
California. No one is better aware of his fact
than Mr.. Stevenson and he will fud time to make
a fortune IN Butte while prospecting for silver in
Nevada We undstand that some very valuable
silver ore is now being taken out of his ledge in
Humboldt, and the Mill will be put in operation as
soon as Mr.. Stevenson shall arrive there.

THE MosGoLIAN ASSAULT AND BATTERY CASE
AGAIN.-We made reference last week to letter
received from Henry Allen, who had been convic-
ted of an assault and battery upon a Chinese wo-
Bob Ridley. Mr.. Allen again writes us from Ma
rysville, under date of April 18th, and says:-'I
have had some experience in distant countries as
detective, and also upon golden shores. and l
am not wanting in influence in MarysVille to prove
it. received information that noted horse thief
was IN Butte county and it was supposed that he
might perhaps be in 0roville; therefore 7 made a
very close inspection of all the dens of infamy in
Orove, but especially in the houses of il-fame in
Chinatown, which, your readers are probably
aware, is the resort Of thieves CT all classes. was
in Chinatown on the evening that the charge of
assault and Battery was brought against NE, and
desire to impress on the minds of your readers
that it was preferred against me by an individual
in Oroville that is low gambler living in dis
reputable manner, etc. He continues:-'"I am
thankful to Judge Stafford, and likewise to John
Dick, ESQ., for their acts of kindness in my behalf
and shall be happy at any time to render services
to those two gentlemen in tracing up any acts of
robbery that may occur in Butte county at the re-
quest of the authorities in that District" We have
omitted much that was merely personal in Mr.. Al
lens letter, but have endeavored to give sufficient
to place him in proper position before our
readers

ScHoo1. HoUsE-The subject of Scho oil House
suitable for the Orovile School District. is being
very generally discussed by our citizens. Its nee
essity and the fact that it ought to be erected du
ring the coming Summer, are facts readily admit
ted by ALL The burden of taxation, which is prob
ably the highest that it ever will be, affords an OBJ
lection to soole against levying tax for such
purpose and the proposition to secure the erection
of an appropriate building by individual subscrip-
ton, is seriously entertained. The three hundred
children of the district demand comfortable
School House, and there is hardly doubt but that
many more families would make for themselves
pernane Mt homes here did the district afford pro
per School facilities At all events, those already
here demand it, and it must be built. There is not
a aproperty holder in the district who would consent
to have his character determined by that Of the
Orovk School House. Yet such things go far in
fixing the character of a community in the estma-
ton OF the stranger and certainly with those who
are seeking homes for their families. We believe it
Is better to achieve greatness in this respect, than
20 wait for it to be thrust upon and therefore
In favor of building it voluntarily. To this end,
the BUTTE RECORD will contribute $50, toward
Brick School House, good as'can be secured for
the sum of IS 900. If we move in the matter soon
the contract can be let, the Brick manufactured
here, and the building be completed ready to occu-
by at the commencement of the fall term. If this
will not prove acceptable. shall hunt up the
School law, aud advocate a tax on the property OF
the district for that purpose on the broad ground
that property in the most populous School District
in the county, without School House. is not worth
having.

Observation-Disclosures of business improve

MPRovENENTs-Evidences Of business improve
ments in Oroville, are multiplying around US daily
A. K. Hall, Esq., has purchased the building known
as Maier's Hotel, and adjacent grounds, which are
to be fitted up hotel and hay yard. We should
be glad to see Mr.. Hall, and others who are inter-
ested in this description of business and who must
necessarily become familiar with those interested
In the business of teaming, make arrangements by
forming an association otherwise, which would
enable them to carry freight from Oroville to Black
Rock. Owyhee, Idaho and Montana. That profit
able summer work for great number of teams and
men, might thus be built up, there is no doubt.
1t is only necessary for shippers of freight from
San Francisco to the points above enumerated,
TO be able to contract for its delivery in order TO
send it over this route 1t is folly to suppose that
freight for Owyhee will be shipped to Croville
without knowing that there are means at hand to
transport it to its destination. The routes in
use by the way of Oregon, and the southern route
by the Gulf of California and the Colorado river >,
will continue to do the business until arrangements
shall be perfected to transport freight over short
er and more economical route. As showing the
profit that might result to teamsters by doing this
carrying trade, we may state that two billiard ia :
bles were recently shipped from San Francisco to
Montana at cost of 81 800. This single item,
which is not half load for a single team, pays
for a summers work. We commend this subject
to the attention of those interested in property in
this county, and partiularly to those who would
find profitable employment for their teams, as an
opportunity to build up a business calculated to
result in the greatest possible advantage to every
material business interest of the county. And the
means are at hand to it, if the proper effort
be made. Shall it be done
The weekly Butte record., 1866-04-14

CHoLsRA.-The cholera is coming. 1t is in Hall
fax, and is reported in New York. 1t will be in
San Francisco soon, and elsewhere throughout Cal
ifornia during the approaching hot weather. In
this proable fact there is cause for alarm. But
should have the effect TO cause the adoption of
thorough sanitary measures in the various towns
of the State. Now is the time to attend to it here
in Oroville, while the streets are being repaired
and improved. free use Of disinfecting agents
may be the means of preventing visitation from
this dreadful scourge. Chinatown should be looked
after by our citizens 1t is better that its streets
should be paved with lime, than that it should be
cause of bringing the cholera. A little attention
to this matter now the part of each, may be the
means of preventing much human suffering and
misery If it does not prevent the appearance of the
mala6y in our midst.

No LITIG GATIoN.-None of the Courts for this
county have been in session during the week just
closed. Litigants are scattered around throughout
the county attending to their crops and other bu-

ing up authorities to be used as crushers against
their opponents, and preparing themselves for the
profound forensic efforts that will soon make the
Court House ring from foundation to dome-or
from the Jail to the belfry The District Attorney
is erecting an impregnabe fortress around the
rights of the commonwealth. from which be will
be able to hurl defiance upon the enemies of the
public welfare, and withstand the illegal assaults
OF the legal fraternity.

WISE-We have been presented by 1. R. Ketch
um, Esq. of Bidwel township, with a sample of
Wine of his own Manufacture. 1t is a very supe-
rior article: having been manufactured with great
care by Mr.. ketchum who picked over his grapes,
taking only those that were thoroughly ripe and
healthy, and crushing them by hand through a
seive that excluded the Seeds skins and other mat
ter that could impair the purity and agreeble taste
of the liquor OF course, but small quantity
could be thus carefully manufactured. but Mr.. X.
has the satisfaction of demonstrating that we can
equal the quality of any foreign vintage if we but
use the necessary care. Mr.. Ketchum has also
succeeded in growing fine quality of orange, that
have ripened upon the tree during the past winter.
We commend the srccess of Mr.. Ketchum to the
attention of our citizens as showing that we have
sol and climate entitled to the motto of Excel
sior,' if We but improve it.

Fair. for Thursday and Friday Evenings. April
10th and 2oth, for the purpose of adding to the fund
to build School House in that place. Their object
is praiseworthy one, and we hope they may meet
with the most unbounded success. They are doing
just what oroville ought to do. 1t may be that
other dstr lets Of the county, when they secure to
themselves good comfortable School Houses will
jon together and furnish one for the 0rovlle School

probable however. But We hope this effort OF the

Crandall was bitten by a dog, al Stringtown. on
Sunday morning last. Though severely bitten in

vicious dog was within hearing. and rescued the
child. dressed his wounds and sent for Physician.
The dog has been owned by Mr.. Dickinson for sew
