1t was in a millraco belonging 10 John
A. Sutter, wealthy grazier, the owner Of
2 principality Of fifty square leagues in
California, and Of thousands OF cattle. that
gold was fret found, in l949 and James
w. Marshall, Tie superintendent Of the
mill, an industrious and thriving American;
was the discoverer.
Mr.. Dunbar, in very readable litils vol
ume, "The Discovery Of Gold in California"
published by the Appletons, tells the story
of these two men, who, according to all
probability, ought now to be wealthy be-

ruined aud reduced to absolute want by
their luck 1t seems az though Nature, who
had so long hidden her precious hoard,
took terrible revenge upon those who
accidentally laid it bare to the world.
Colonel .Sutter lost his cattle by open
robbery, was driven from Ills estates by
squatiers crazed with the desire for gold I:
was involved in expensive lawsuits to re-
cover his lands and was finally and entirely
ruined by an adverse decision in q case
covering two-thirds of his property, which
he had sold with warranty deeds. It took
all that wss left him to make good his war;

It is a curious history and sad one, toe

striking sketches of the grSat, eager, wild

Photography.

The London Intellectual Observer says
No place is now safe from the incursiol,
of photographers. Who would suppose
that they could carry on thoir operations
under water? Yet such is now the case,
as NJ. Bazin has proved. His Photographic
studio consists of strong sheet.iron chest,
pei lectly water-tight windows, that are in
the form of lenses. The electric hight is
used, aud renders distinctly visible any OBJ
ject lying at the bottom of the sea. SO that
they may be photographed, and thus their
value aud position be accurately marked,
NJ. Bazin has remained at depth of nearly
three hundred feet Tor about ten minutes.
This application of photography promises
TO facilitate the recovery of lost objects aud
the raising os sunken ships.

Sink into the Ground. .

On the 10th inst, singular and start
ling accident happened near Girardville, at
the foot of Mahanoy Plane, about six miles
from Mahanoy City, SchuykiIl Co., Pa. 1t
seems that at point "abreast -, of the
Boston and Mahanoy Coal Company's col
liery had been worked to within twenty
feet of the surface of the earth, and that
located Just above it stood a two-story
frame building, occupied by Mr.. Thomas T.
Myers, a breaker.bOss at the colliery, and
his family. He also had number of board
ers, whose clothing, &C., were III the house
About three o'clock on Friday afternoon,
as Mrs, Morris Robinson, OF this borough,
wife of the Superintendent of the colliery,
who was on visit TO the house, and Mrs
Myers were in the kitchen, they felt
the house moving, and rushed in haste into
the open air. Two minutes had hardly
elapsed after they left the house, before il
sank, with surging, swaying motion into
a huge chasm to the depth oil about eighty
feet. Large masses of rock and earth from
the sides of the chasm Immediately closed
in upon the house, buryiug it completely
from view. The crash when it went down
was tremendous. The complete entomb.
thirty.fve feet long, may be imagined
the sinking of the mine, would readily have
admitted building over one hundred feet
in length.
The house contains seven beds and bed
ding, four stoves, bureaus and other furni-
ture, besides a considerable quantity of
clothing, q Sunday School library, and
some money. There was fire in several
OF the stoves, and shortly after the occur
renee, smoke was seen issuing from the
earth wi ich covered the roof, rendering it
almost certain that the house had been set
on fire. Streams of water were directed
into the chasm, and it was hoped that the
house would not be entirely destroyed
Fortunately the startling occurrence was
not attended with the loss of human life
/ Had it taken place at night ten lives might
have been lost But it took place at an
hour when some of Mr.. Myers children
had gone to school, while the others were
playing outside.

Interesting to Paper manufacturers.


A novel method of treating paper, so
that it becomes much thicker and stronger
and capable Of being glazed with a most
beautiful surface, has been brought into
use. Paper, either sized or not, is taken
dry, and soaked in concentrated neutral
solution of chloride of zinc, moderately
heated after which it is washed, dried
and is ready for use, having the appear
auce of parchment. The neutral solution
OF the chloride of zine is formed by ad-
ding the carbonate, or oxide of zinc to a
solution of zinc dissolved in muriato acid,
then evaporating the solution until it has
arrived at the consistency of syrup when
cold In this state it has a high specific
gravity, and the paper to be treated IS i'm
mersed in it for a few minutes, then taken
out, and the adherng zinc removed by
the scraper. The paper is now thoroughly
washed in clean cold water, and afterwards
pressed and dried. This treatment draws
the fbres of the paper together, thus rem
dering the sheets smaller in size, but much
stronger and closer in the texture. The
process described is conducted with cold
liquors, and the paper is only partly rem
dered into vegetable parchment. When il
is desired to produce the fullest change
possible in the paper, the liquor is kept
heated at about 100 Fahrenheit while the
paper is immersed in il. Sheets of paper
when saturated with such solution, may
be joined permanently together by uniting
their edges and passing a heated iron over
them. The choloride of tin may be also
used as a substitute for the zinc.
