efficient remedy for pain, it is perfectly safe med

in children or adults, it is almost certain cure
and has, without doubt, been more successful in
curing the various kinds of cholera than any other

Ed. REcoRD:-From slip of the pen, or type,
Ct don't know certain which,) am made to say in
my letter on the Borneo question, that the Island
was in extent, equal to some of our largest
States in the Union instead Of seren, as intended
to have said. For the more particular description
of its size, quote from Sir James Brooke's jour
mails. l will here take occasion to say that Mr.
Brooke resided for many years on the Island OF
Borneo, and came to be the chief ruler or Rajah of
SaIrawack. In speaking of the Islandshe says
1.-The Island of Borneo measures at its extrem.
length nine hunnred miles; at its greatest breadth,
seven hundred, and in circumference six thousand.
With the exception of Australia, it is the largest
Island known. occupying central situation in the
Eastern Archipelago, in the direct track of ex-
tensive and valuable commerce, intersected on all
sides by navigable rivers, possessing one of the
richest soils on the globe, healthy climate which,
though hot. is tempered by refreshing sea breezes
and Astounding in mineral treasures it is country
eminenty favored with the choicest gifts of Provi
dence, and well adapted for the support of nu
merous population"
The soil and productions are of the richest des
cripton and it is not too much to say, that within
the same given space there are not 10 be found
equal mineral and vegetable riches in any land of
the world. Some of the numerous readers of the
RECORD may say, what does II. Tins know about
Borneo? To them / would answer tina. he knows
just much about Borneo as a minister does who
breaches about Heaven-neither one of us ever
having been there.
So much for the Borneo question. In my next

NATIVE LEAD IN BUTTE CoUSrY.-Mr. o. Jei-
nings writes the Scientific Press from Magalia,
Butte county, as follows:
"I In your issue of January 18th, you stated that
you were not aware that native lead had been
found associated with gold anywhere on the Pacific
coast. Mr.. Wilson Informs me that it has been
found in placer mine bearing his name situated
near this town. 1t was found about ten years ago.
One piece about three fourths of an inch square
and one inch long; another was of an irregular
form, but heavier than the first named. Others,
but smaller pieces, were frequently found. They
were all melted up and run into bullets. Ii melted
at . very low heat, as he thought.

ugly rise in the rivers, if not as troublesome as

snow appeared in unusual quantities low down on

moderately warm rain the following day. Fears
were entertained of reshet, but the storm ceased
on Friday morning and the sun struggled patiently
for the mastery with the feecy clouds. The river
behaved very well under the trying circumstances,
but the sloughs and gulches filed up rapidly, and

Oregon stage did not attempt to the slough at
