A Merited Compliment.

We clip the following notice of one
Of Panola county's sons from the
Merced (Cal) Herald, and although
il was written last November, it will
be new to our readers, and doubtless
be interesting to many Of his friends;
Surveyor General John W. Bost,
has been in town for the past week,
seeing his old friends, and receiving
their congratulations; and returned
to the Bay on Wednesdays stage.
The General is the same as Of yore,
not puifed up by the honors bestowed
upon him by the sovereigns of this
State. Being an old residcnter here,
and having held prominent Offices in
this county, we were all glad to see
him, and to know that he appreciated
with becoming gratitude this last act
of the voters Of this commonwealth.
He left with no expectation OF again
favoring us with his presence before
entering upon his official duties at
Sacramento. We predict that Gen.
Bost will prove to be the right man
in the right place, and we have no
hesitancy in saying that his constitu-
ents will never regret having given
him their votes; upright and honor.
able IN business transactions, and :
gentleman in every sense Of the word
he will command the respect Of all.
He came 10 California in 1850, I

Valerius Maximus relates that
woman Of distinction having been
condemned to be strangled, was de-
livered TO the triumvir, who caused
her to be carried 10 prison in order
to be put to death. The jailer who
was ordered to execute her was struck
with compunction, and could not re-
solve to kill her. He chose, how
ever, to let her die Of hunger; but
meanwhile suffered her daughter to
visit her in prison, toking care that
she brought her nothing 70 est Many
