MOKELUMNE HILL:
MoxzLuxNl HUI has been unusuall

MoKELuxNH HILL has been unusually
lively during the past week, even for the
town which deservedly has the reputation Of
being the most fourishing in the State. Our
merchants are receiving their Fall stocks Of
goods, and the streets have been crowded
with .'prairie schooners" so that it has been
almost an impossibility to get through them.
We would suggest to teamsters who have
goods for this place, the propriety of arrang-
ing the tine oftheir departure from Stockton
40 as not to all arrive here at once. Main
street was completely blocked up with big
teams, on Wednesday last, and in less than
fifteen minutes there was string of vehicles
fully quarter of mile in length, waiting.
Measures should be taken to prevent the re-
currence of such vexatious hindrances in the
fu.i,re. Folks don't wish to wait VIXEN they
are in hurry. 1t would be good policy
sor our citizens to secure the services of some
one whose duty it shall be to see that teams
"movs on" The town should be incorpo-
rated.
DANCE AT SfRIso VALLEY.-The dance
at the Spring Valley House on the I'd inst.
was very gay affair. Although not largely
attended the hall was just comfortably filled,
and all seemed to enjoy themselves to the
full exteEt of human capacity. The music,
furnished by Messrs. Rice & Turner. of Sut-
Ter. vas all that could be desired. and those
gentlemen added to their already widespread
reputation as musical artists. The supper
was elegant, rich and substantial. We nev-
or wish to have better time.
yoTE for the best man for Supervisor. In
our local political affairs. party strife should
not be allowed to enter into the contest.
Our financial affairs are in a lamentable con-
dition, and it is of the utmost importance
that we elect as Supervisors those who are
thorough business men, capable of extricat-
ing US from our present dilemma. Such a man
is Mr.. S. l.. Prindlc. Citizens of the Fourth.
and Sixth townships, consult your own in
terests by electing him.
DISTRICT c, uRr.-The District Court.
Hon S. ". Brockway presiding, will con-
vene in San Aadreas on Monday next, the
18th. We have made earnest and repeated
applications, both to the Clerk and his Dep
uty. Joe Wells. for the calendar; but for
some inexplicable reason, have been unable
to obtain it. 1t is a matter of interest to
many of our readers. and should have been
published. 1t is not our fault that it has
not. The Clerks Office will get "cleaned
out" when we visit San Andreas.
THERE is no longer any excuse for people
brcoming or remaining bald-headed. Those
whose capillaries evince a determination to
fall out" can have them effectively clinch-
en- by using DIR. Stuart's Never failing Hair
Restorative" and those whose hirsute ap-
pendage amounts to nothing but q recollec-
ton. can again rejoice in the possession of a
fine head of hair by the application of the
same article. 1t is also an excellent hair
dressing. Tryit.
SPEAKING AT RAILnoAD.-Hon. ]. G. Nc
Callum and General D. II. I.aGrangc. can
ddate for Presidential Elector on the Union
ticket. will address the citizens of Calaveras
at Railroad Flat. on Monday evening next.
Both these gentlemen are fine speakers. and
the people should turn out and listen to
them. Election day draws near. r Union
men. the time for working is getting short.
do your duty.
TASTALIziSG.--The Amador Dispatch. in
commenting upon a late flag presentation to
the Democratic Club of Jackson, by the ladies
of that place. makes especial mention that it
" had full complement of stars" We had
thought the fair ladies of Jackson had more
of the milk of human kindness than thus to
tantalize the Democracy with SO many satel-
ties. when they are striving so earnestly to
reduce the number by political strategy. hav-
ing failed to do so BY rebellious warfare.
GET THE BEsr.-In purchasing a sewing
machine. as well as any other article. the
cheapest plan is always to get the best.
Wheeler & Wilson have taken the premium
at every Fair held throughout the United
States. and also at the Paris Exposition. The
experience of years las proved the Wheeler
& Wilson to be the best machine yet invent
ed. See advertisement.
CIDER! yes. real. genuine. old fashioned
sweet cider! Such as they used to make in
"our grandfathers' days." when everybody
drank cider. As we sip away at the jug
whicha lady friend has presented us. and
enjoy the delicious sweetness of its contents,
We have but one wish ungratiied, and that
is that we were beside'er. Thanks.
PERsoNAL.-Our old friend and former
fellow citizen, w. w. Hopkins, Esq.. who
has resided in the Eastern States during the
past four years, arrived in town on Thurs
day evening last. He declares that there is
no place like California, and he intends max.
ing it his home for the future. His many
friends will be pleased to learu that be 10
