The RIvgR-The warm rain of Sunday and
Monday last caused the river to rise rapid so that
it rolled an angry boiling flood, covering the bar
below town, aud threatening destruction to all Ter
ry boats that should attempt to breast its angry
current Huge logs went leaping down the stream
As if glad to be released from their mountain
homes and permitted to escape to the valley and
ocean below. Crossing was suspended on Monday,
and the river given full chance to boil and surge
and chafe its rock-bound banks at will. 1t made =
gala day Of it. On Tuesday, morning, however, ii
took chill and shook until its fury well nigh
exhausted. and it became respectable and we'll
behaved stream. Its current was evidently frozen
al its fountain, the rains had cnngealed 10 snow,
and its supplies were cut of. 1t Immediately fell

MusT HAVE 4 BRIpGg.-CroSsiag 6 at the ferries
ou Feather river interrupted by the high water
on Monday, and mails and passengers failed TO
connect with the cars. The project OF free
bridge is being pretty generally discussed, and it is
proposed, after the holidays are over, to ask the
Legislature to confer authority upon the Supervi-
sors to levy tax for that purpose. While being
decidedly in favor of the proposition, we should be
glad TO hear from Chico and Cherokee on the sub
jcct. Those townships alone have paid ferriage
sufficient to build the bridge and if they viii now
join in the movement, they shall all have free
bridget pass over by the first of November next
If they object TO being taxed for measure of such
convenience and advantage TO the people Of the
county, we shoud be pleased 10 hear from them on
the subject that the details Of the bill may be SC
arranged As to satisfy every locality. The bridge
Isl necessity, and it should, by all means be free
bridge. Now is the time to speak out on the sub
jec. for. with the permission Of the Legislature the
bridge will be bull, during the coming summer.
THs BLUFF CLAIA.-The clean up in this claim
was made last week after the thirty days run, and
Mr.. Hewett looks as though he was pleased with
the result. Although not informed as TO the exact
amount realized, yet we assured that the eislm
rsys-that the fume was paid for, that the water
snd expense of mining was met, and somsthlns
over. OF course the company are not gong to
proclaim their receipts, but from information II
our possession, we are satisfied that the Clean up
did not amount 10 less than 5000, and must have
exceeded instead of falling short of that hgure'
There are thousands of acres of Just such mineral
land in this vicinity possessing equal advantages
for working that abandoned at The time OF the
Fraser river and Nevada excitement began, and has
since lain idle fer the want of popul to work

was accomplished by tunneling, and was, Of course
very incomplete, bat q small portion of the earth
being reached. Tie hydraulic and fiume used BY
Mr.. Heweti, makes clean sweep Of the oian into
