HELIOTYPOGRAPuY.- Here is a new word
added to the vocabulary of the necessities OF
this advancing age, and the discoveries of mod
ern science Ever since the discovery of the
Daguerre process it has been an object of earnest
pursuit to find a method of Photographic art
for the production Of metallic type by which to
print, in the ordinary letter press style, the
pictures made by the sun. Scores Of inventions
have been made, without final success We
are at length able to say that the desideratunl
has been accomplished and the Heliotype
Company, whose place of business is at No. 90
Fulton street, arc preparing to work with the
aid of thesun as rapidly as publishers can desire
in the production of sun-types.
It is not claimed for this process as yet tina!
it will do everything that is desired. But it is
the beginning ofgreat things, and we confidently
look for the day when it will be so perfec ed
that the scenes of daily life, occurrences in our
streets, public meetings, professions and similar
events may be photographed, and the type
used in the editions of illustrated newspapers

ITEMS FROM HUMBoLDT.-M. D. Raum,
formerly of this county, furnishes US the
following items from Humboldt, New:
The Humboldt country suffered great
loss of population in consequence Of the Idaho
and Montana excitement, and has not yet
recovered from the effects of the depletion
The mines are undoubtedly good, but the ore
is so thickly impregnated with base metals
as to render it very difficult to work. The
town of Dun Glen is situated in Humboldt
county, and consists of store blacksmith
shop, saloon, post office, two quartz mills and
few private residences. There is no timber
near the place except few scrubby cedars,
which are. sold at the rate of twelve dollars
nishes splendid range for stock, but there
are very few horses, cattle and sheep left in
the country Star City, situated in Star
Canon, was once a very lively town, but at
present is sadly dilapidated and fast falling
to decay. Some very fine buildings have
been erected there, but the owners of the
Sheba and other mines discontinued work
and the population constantly dropped off
until there is house for every white inhabi-
tant of the place. Unionyille holds its own
pretty well, and has probably seen its hard
est day, and will speedily improve. Times
are hard throughout this country at present,
but the residents all feel confident that a
prosperous future awaits them.

HEARTLEss DEPRAvITY.-The S. f. Times
relates the following case of heartless de
pravity: :
well known clergyman, residing here,
recently received letter from a lady living
in the State of New York, reques ting infor-
nation and advice under the following circum-
stances: Some months ago, man of
gentlemanly appearance and prepossessing
manners made the acquaintance Of her
daughter, and the friendship thus formed
ripene1 into an intimacy which resulted in
his becoming recognized as the betrothed
husband of the young lady. lie came from
San Francisco on business connected with
mining operations, and had attained the
position he held in the family on his
representation that he was unmarried
Alleging business difficulties as reasons for
not espousing his fdncee, he left the East to
return to California, but assured her mother
and herself that he would not be long absent,
and in few months would be in position
to fulfill his engagement. He left, and for
some time kept up regular correspondence
with his betrothed, his letters breathing
| spirit of loyalty and devotion that enchanted
her confidence. But as time passed on, and
first one cause Of delay, then another,
appeared in his letters, the young lady grew
very uneasy SO uneasy that her mother
became convinced that her anxiety was due
| to something of greater Importance than the
procrastination of her lover. Taking
favorable opportunity, she questioned her,
| and then, amid tears of shame and humllia-
tson, the fatal truth was elected, that she
had confded blindly in his honor, and had
been betrayed. From the time she confessed
her weakness, the poor girl seemed to lose
half her life, and all her hope, and her
mother writes that her condition was critical
in the extreme, for, added to the mental
afiliction under which she labored, the phys
ical elimination of her error was expected,
and her constitution was completely under
mined by excessive anxiety and reproach.-
Not knowing where to turn for succor in this
emergency, and fearing the worst, the poor
lady wrote for information as to the character
and social status of her daughters false
lover, and TIE aid of the detective police
having been enlisted, an investigation has
been made, resulting in the discovery that
the scoundrel who is answerable for so mnch
misery and pain is married man, and has
wife and family residing in this State.
having left home some time ago, and If
proper steps are not speedily taken, 1t is quite
possible that be may seek to escape the con
sequences of one villainy by committing
another, and condone the olfense be has
committed against young and coniding
GIRL by deserting the wife who has brought
up his children at her knees. The case
altogether is one of those terrible ones in
which, whatever the result, one heavy sin
must remain irretriveable, and one life be
rendered desolate. Such deliberate treachery
should be punished as society alone can
punish, by ostracising the offender from all
respectable circles.

SHocKING.-A wicked case of adultery has
just come to light. The wife of wealthy
retired New York merchant is one of the
guilty parties With the consent of her
husband she passed the winters of 1S65-.66
in New o leans, with her parents, return
ing to him in the spring. In the same way
she went to New Orleans to pass the recent
winter. Her husband went there suddenly
in February, and found she had not been
there, either that winter or the previous one !;
that she had passed the previous winter with
lover in St. Louis, and this winter with
him in Chicago. He went there after her,
but she heard of it and eluded him. She
used to send letters to New Orleans and
they were post-marked there and forwarded
to him. His letters to her were forwarded
from New Orleans to Chicago. He sent
her the money she and her lover lived on.-
He has returned to New York. The guilty
parties are still living in Chicago. Her hus-
band is about fifty years of age, and the wife

A Coop CLAIM.-Last winter Popejoy &
Campbell took up claims on an unprospected

dug ditch to convey water on the ground.
This spring they got fairly to work, and have
been making from four to six dollars per day
to the hand ever SINCE The fiat contains
several acres, and the gravel is from ten to
twenty five feet deep, and contains gold
throughout. A cut run the width of the
claim paid regularly all the way. The pro-
prietors are confident that they have claim
that will last life time.
