MINES AT RAILRoAD.-Saturday, Messrs.
Gratacap, Gamble s Co. cleaned up at Hep
burn & Co.'S new mill at the above place.
near one thousand dollars from fifty tons of
quartz taken from their Spruce Gulch lead.
This was the first quartz crushed in the mill
and its yield speaks well, both for the mill
and mine. We understand there is a large
amount of rock out at the various mines in
that district. sufficient at least to keep the
mill constantly employed for year, and if
it pays one-half as well as the owners antici-
pate, it will yield large amount of bullion,
and add much to the wealth of the county.

REwARD.-By reference to our advertising
columns it will be seen that Governor Low
offers reward of $500 for the arrest of each
of the murderers of Mr.. B. r. c. Johnson,
now at large. The crime was committed in
September last, at Johnson's store, near the
Calaveras river. and. as our readers will rec
ollect, was one of the most fendish, cold
blooded murders ever recorded. One of the
assassins. Miranda, the Mexican, is generally
known throughout the county, and the prob
abilities are that the handsome reward offer
ed will lead to his detection. The chances
that the Chinaman will be secured are less
favorable, as he not so well known.

tho editorial comments thereon. We
concur in the editors views that de-
bates of that nature are OF no practical
Use. Disputations and theological

about matters that are Ear beyond the

Words however eloquent, are naught
but sounds, and are lost in the wind;

SPRING.

We look forward with thoughts of
pleasure 10 the advent of gentle, life
giving, invigoratiDg spring, with its
wealth Of budding flowers, its ven
dnre, its bird-like melodies and its
clear, smiling skies. Each season,
however, has its peculiar charms The
cold and dreary winter has attractions
which are not TO be dcspised. Among
some OF the many pleasures 10 which
the winter gives rise, are merry sleigh
riding i'm bright moonlight nights,
social gath'rings, friendly meetings and
the Joyous festivities of the Christmas
days. Besides, we also have during
the long winter nights, home pleas
urcs that are only TO be found Within
the sweet domestic circle. II is true,
that in the midst of the comforts and
blessings of happy home, the sad
thought that some of our fellow beings,
less fortunate, suffer perhaps for the
necessaries of life, and kecnly feel the
blast and frost of the harsh season,
must, to certain extent, mar the un-
alloycd happiness the true man other
wise would foel While we are happy
and blest with all these comforts, let
Us not forget the poor and the needy.
Let our hearts be filled with tender
humanity and unostentatiOus charity.
Let no worthy fellow being suffer
while it is in our power TO allay his
distress and soothe his woes

THE CHILDREN IN THE MOON.

A SCANDINAVIAN, BALLAD.
Hearken, child. unto story,
For the moon i in The sky,
Aud across her shield of silver,
See. two tiny cloadlets Hy
Watch them closely, mark them sharpl!
As across the light they pass;
Seem they not to have the figures
OF little lad and lass
See. my child, across their shoulders
Idesa little pole, and 10. ~
YOnder speck IS just the bucket
Swinging softly to and fro.
lt il said these little children.
Many and many sumIarr night.
Toa l.tle we'll, far northw ard,
Wandered in the still moonlight.
To the wayside well they trotted,
Silled their little buckets there,
And the moo.- man, looking downward
Saw howbeautiful they were.
Looks tlse rosy little boy;
But the little handsome maiden
Trips behind him full of JOY.
''To the well behind the hedgerow
Trot the little lad and maiden,
From the well behind the hvdgerow
Aow the little paii is laden.
Chow they tempt me How they pleas me
Shall -natch them up to night?
Snatch them; set them here forever
In the MIDDLE OF my light
"Children. aye. and childrcn's children
Should behold my babcs on high;
And my babes should smile forever,
Calling other, to the sky,'
Thus the phIosophic moon man
Nuttertd m'ny yeas ago;
Set the babes. ni'h pole aid bucket.
To delight the io!kr below.
Never is the bucket eiIpty,
Never are the children old;
Ever. when the moon is shining.
We the children may behold.
Ever Young and ever littlei
Ever sweet and ever fair;
When thou art nIan, NY darling,
Stll the children will be there.
Ever Young ani ever little,
They xil smile wtcn thou art old.
Whrn thy locks are thin and silver,
Their. will still be shining gold.
They viii haunt yon from their heaven,

yery striking and certainly not very gratifying
feature Of social life in New York, In contrast wltn
the manners and customs of days gone by, as well
rs with the usage of European society, is the pub
licity which seems to be courted by everybody IN
All matters Of domestic concern. What the South
ern man or woman, in the day OF prosperity, neld
sacred from the public eye, what the ancient
the wealthy dwellers in Begrayia, OF the habitans
Of the Faubeurg St. German would shrink from
setting forth to the world, all these things the
modern New Yorker delights in making as widely
Known aspossible; His yeary income, what wnat ne ne
pend the summer, it rejoices him to see stated In
tie columns Of the daily and weekly journals. Nay,
lila fair daughter enjoys the paragraph which de-
soribes her toilet and her personal attractions.
A good deal Of talk has been excited here by the
recent weekly bulletin in well known sunday
paper Of the bachelors Of New York, wherein the
,snaes ages, habits and fortunes Of the unmarried

are minutely detailed. Two or three extracts will
illustrate the nature Of this extraordinary recital
