Rux OyER.-Charles Olsen, one of the pioneer
residents OF Butte, met with a severe accident on
Saturday last, while driving his loaded team down
the canon to Bidwell Bar. The wagon ran into
chuck-hole throwing him from his seat forware TO
the earth where the animals trode upon him, and
the wheels of the wagon pissed over him. Two OF
his ribs were broken by the wheels of the wagon,
and he was otherwise bruised by the animals tread
ing upon him. We learn that he is doing we'll
however, and is in fair way to recover. Thus left
to themselves, the team overturned the wagon, and
made general wreck OF things.

huge box of table fruit. grown upon his own vine
and fig tree. away up in the summit OF the Nevada
mountains, where they hl1>somed and fructihed
upon soil made memorable by the great great
Sage Brash Var when the counties Of Roop aud
Plumas met in war Of contend.ng jurisdictions.
''The smaller samples writes the lar-e-Aearted
donor Though not classical in their tradition, will
serve to demonstrate the TACT that Ias-en county
can raise small things as well a. large. and also
suggest to you the thought that the genial rays
which beam ever around the Gen OF the Foothills
might possibly in the course of time bring them to
perfection. Green these samples, Int like all other
samples Of greeaness only require the sun ofexpe-
reuce To cure the defect. Throw aside yaur COM
mon fruit fer the nance, and eat OF the growth

done So and have no hesitation in pranoanciag it

Thisappcllation is given to Thaddeus Ste.
vens, and, VIC think, very properly. He has
been the common property of the prostitute
politicians Of Pennsylvania ior the past
thirty years and, if reports be true, and
they never have been con.radicted, he lives
with woman, not his wife, and black at
that OF very common character. His no.
ton is that negroes in common with white
men should enjoy the elective franchise.
lie certainly is a very common man to be
one of the chiefs of the nation at time
when we need the intellect Of Jefferson or
Clay, Webster or a Douglass. Later.
ally Stephens spread his sable wings and nj.
tempted to soar from the Common field of
the House Of Representatives to the higher
regions OF the Senate; but with Forncy
as ballast he came down ignominiously with
great individual hurt-not to his reputation,
for that is past damaging-but to those no.
Bile aspirations which led him to ATTEMPT the
Hight he has subsided to his position in
the lower House, the house Of commons
and truly, so far as the material Of which it
is composed it is common house.

ns" We can say with all sincerity that
we never knew the Democracy Of the coun.
try to be in better heart previous to an
election than they are at present. Perhaps
we should not mention the democracy in
particular, but the people in general. There
appears to be quiet spirit of determination
among the thinking mon of the land to bring
about such change as will relieve us all, as
much as possible, from the burdens which
the policy in vogue during the past few
years has imposed on us. This, of course,
is desirable to all and there appears to be
that proper disposition among all classes to
examine subjects fairly, which we hope will
lead to such change Of our rulers as will
bring about the desired results.

Deatl, OF Governor s1c:n,.

The country will hear with regret the an.
nouncemcnt of the death of Gov. Helm, of
Kentucky He was buried one short week
after his Inauguration. 1t will be romcm.
bered with what triumph his election was
heralded; and it is distressing that he
should not have been permitted to accom-
plish that (which VIC short sighted mor,als had
supposed to have been his destiny. His
work must now be finished by others.
Another election will be held in August
next. In the meantime the duties of the
office will be discharged by the Lieutenant
Governor.
