TALL SnouTING- The Grass Valley Union
Of Saturday last, reports the foIIo~iog
We are indebted to John X. Sale !or the
particulars Of one Of the best practical ,kes
We have heard in a long time. 1t seems
that |. I. Saxby, whole souled and clever
gentleman, and proprietor OF livery stable
in Nevada, got up chicken shooting affair
and GIT up some of the crack shots of Ne
vada (nc!ud ug NJ. S. Deal, of the Trans,
cripi, and Steve VenardD to test their skill
at shooting at a live rooster. The invita-
ton was accepted. and on Thursday morn.
ing the parties, armed with rifles, ETC., sailed
out TO Mulioys shooting ground, and Saxby
having arrived with IA splendid Shanghae
rooster, the ground was measured off, and,
AS the shootisIs thought, tha chi, ken duly
placed in position. But Saxly had taken
out Two chickens. one real, live rooster,
the latter a rooster made Of sheet iron, and
nicely decled with chicken feathers, comb,
etc. This latter lie put up in place of the
real l;rd, and the deception was so perfect
that the sporsmen took their positions and
commenced blazing away a. the rooster
The understanding was that ten cents was TO
be paid for each Shot, and eighty shots being
fired and Saxby having taken in eight dollars
be left the field, telling the boys that as he
had already taken in the value Of the rooster
they might now shoot at him free of charge.
At this iupcture Deal took bis "posish," aud
fred thirty-sx shots at the metallic bird the
thirty SIKH shot striking the ground in front
Of The chicken and oosening the earth SO as
to throw the chicken off its feet and on its
side. Loud cheers were given for Deal, who
now began to make calculations on lig
rooster for supper. But, alas. for the uncer-
iain,y Of mans calculations! when he pro.
ceeded TO pick up his game he found that
Saxby had been making game of the boys"
1t is said that Saxby has not been seen or
heard Of since.

The Chloride Of Sodium Process

Mr.. J. K. Wyckoff, formerly of Georgia,
is now working ores at his reduction works,
foot Of North Third street, Brooklyn, by
means of his recently patented chloride of
sodium process. The machinery used con-
slsts Of a wooden cylinder-'lille the old In
dian tree,cradle that many Of our California
readers will remember-and shaking table,
with the ordinary mechanical appliances for
working them. The process is as follows:
Two hundred pounds Of finely crushed ore is
put into the cylinner or amalgamator, with
about one hundred pounds of mercury and
sixty gallons Of water, to which three per
cent. of salt is added. The cylinder is then
set in motion, rocking backward and for
ward. Steam is now let in through pipe,
and in abon, eight minutes the water boils,
and the mercury perneaes the entire mass.
Forly-five minutes having elapsed, a stream
of cold water is let in, which suddenly cools
the mass and precpitates the mercury. The
gate at the end Of The cylinder is then open
ed, and a steam of water run through the
cylinder until it comes clear, when the gate
is closed and new charge is put in-lhe
mercury still remaining in the cylinder.
is simply to work the debris, and retain
whatever mercury may come over with it
wtich is found TO be very ,rilllng. 1t is
claimed that the results produced by this
process Of a)gamalon are wonderful
many of the most refractory ores OF Colora,
do, California, Virginia and North Carolina
have been worked and made to produce
from 500 to 81 500 per ton; that such re-
results as ale afforded toy his process cannot
be produced by any Other; and that in many
instances the taIings Of other processes have
been thus worked 10y him and made to vell
astonishing results. We all know that par
tlcles Of gold, when fine enough, will oat in
water and even in the air, and that much Of
it is lost hy the old process. All this vast
age Mr.. Wyckof declares he can obviate by

NUMBER "a.

AspIRANTs FOR OFrIcE.-It is really wor
derlul, as well as amusing, to see the great
number Of men who are willing to sacrifice
themselves to the service Of the State. Lou.
before the commencement of an election
canvass, these asplrants spring up like mash"
rooms, announcing to the public how very
wiling they are to foreoo their own private
affairs for the glory of serving the people
Several Of the up country interior paper
arc now engaged in the apparently congenia'
tasi. Of "lrotlng OUT and putting these in.
aginary great men. This Unsuitable thirs
for oGice is an unfortunate concomiant of
our republican institutions, and we presume
there is no help for it. Blu, it seems to US
that the press, which should be an indepen-
dent public servant and champion, lowe.e
the dignity Of its position very much whe..
it essays the task of putting mediocrty into
notoriety and perhaps lucrative Office. 1t ia
not often best men who have the eifronetry
to thrust themselves forward as claiman,a
for public place end power. We have had
enough Of experience on that score in this
State. and it is high time for the press to
eschew the lowering employment of man
orgaaship, and stick to its higher functions.
AS a general thing, when politicians obtain
place and power they kick from under them
the ladder by which they mounted. News
paper editors know this, and therefore they
should let the political gentlemen "hoe their
own row" - Wilmngton Journal.

THE RABBIT ON THE WALL.


The following picture, drawn in beautiful, CO
ors by one who handles the "pcncil Of pocsy
with a master hand, will conjure up more tha
one bright memory OF childhoods sunny hou
in ''hearts aged with care that beat beneath loci
wbitened by the fross OF time" Who, wh
reading it, cannot see the happy group, feel lih
joining in the shouts OF the delighted little one
aud kissing chipping, growing ID ohnuy?"
The cottage work is over,
The evening meal is done:
HaIk! through the starli ght stiffness
You hear the river run.
The little children whisper,
Then speak out one and all:
Conc, father, make for Johnny
The rabbit Oh the wall.
He smilingly asserting,
They gather round his chair;
"Now, grandma you hold Johnny
Don't let the candle fare"
So speaking. from bis fingers
He threw Il shadow tall
That seems, the moment after,
A rabbit on the wall.
The children shout with laughter,
The uproar louder grows;
Even grandma chuckcs family
Aud Johnny chirps and crows.
There nc'cr WAS gilded painting,
Hung up in lordly hall,
Gave halt The simple pleasure,
OF this rabbit Oh the wall.
The Placer herald., 1867-02-09
