A Little Girl Buried in tho snow.

The Lake Shore Enterprise Of Satur-
day says:
On Wednesday Of this week an Incl
dent occurred which is painful to record.
Near Grahamville, Pennsylvania, Eve or
six miles south of North East, little
girl, about eight years Of age, started
home alone from school at o'clock 10
the afternoon. A heavy snow storm, ac-
companied with a strong wind, prevailed
at the time. Since that hour nothing has
been seen or heard from the little enc,
and the residents Of the neighborhood
have been diligently searching for the
unfortunate, digging in snow banks and
looking everywhere. The poor little
girl doubtless became fatigued battling
against the storm, was very cold, sought
shelter behind some tree or hpsh, and
was buried beneath the snow

Ths First Cola Mining in California.

Although the fact has heretofore been
published, it is not generally known that
gold placers were worked in California,
long before the discovery of Suffers
mill, in le4S. Documentary evidence OF
this interesting fact has been published
by the San Francisco Alta, in a letter
addressed by Abel Stearns, Of Los An
gelos, to Louis r. Lull, Secretary of the
Society of Pioneers. Mr.. Stearns, who
went to California from Mexico, in 1879,
nearly forty years ago, says that on No
vember %, 1912, be sent BY Alfred
Robinson (who returned from Califor.
MIA to the States by way OF Mexico). ~
ouneesC California weight (lS4 ouncesMint
weight) of placer gold, to be forwarded
by him to the United States Mint at
Philadelphia. The Mint assay was re-
turned August 6, l843. The gold was
taken from placers frat discovered in
March, 1912, by Francisco Lopez, Cal
ifornian, at San Francisquito, about
tbirty-five miles north-west from Los
Angeles. Lopez, while resting in the
shade with some companions during q
hunt for stray horses, dug up SEINE wild
onions with his sheath knife, and in the
dirt discovered piece of gold. Search
ing further be found more pieces,
and on returning to town at
nounced his discovery. A few persons,
mostly Sonoriaus, who we're accustomed
to placer mining in Mexico, worked in
the San Francisquito placer from this
time until the latter part of l846, when
the war with the United States disturbing
the country, taking out $4,000 to $4,000
per annum. The United States mint GER
ti6cate for the assay made for Mr.,
Stearns in ls43, is now in the archives OF
the Society of Pioneers. There have
been reports that gold was dug in this
State as early as 1884, but these arose
from the fact that shipment was made OF
bullion received from New Mexico and
Sonora. The existence of gold in Cali
fornia had doubtless been known in
limited way, but the first known working

Democratic Faith

Repudiation is coming, and that no leg

certain time n-ApdlaHct>.
As the financial condition OF the nation is
Of vital importance, our wise Contemporary
should have informed the people when repu-
diation will take place. Doubtless the "cer-
tain time vaguely limited at will be when
the Republic shall again be under Democratic
rule. Reputation is the only status OF that
party Oh the subject Of the national debt
The Democratic party OF the North was op.
posed TO the creation OF the debt for putting
down the rebellion. They denounced as un-
constitutional every act of Congress author
izing bonds or borrowing money. Democrat
ic politicians and newspapers used their
greatest efforts 10 prevent the sale OF bonds,
and scrupled not to use the vilest means to
hinder the people from lending money to the
Government to carry on the war But hap
pity, the kissing Of the venomous reptile was
not needed, bonds were sold, money was
borrowed and the rebellion squelched. II
has truly been said that during the war a
Democrat with a musket was a rebel, and a
rebel without a musket was Democrat. -
The difference being not in the man, but in
the musket Hence their hatred Of the
blosted bondholders y and the hope OF re-
pudiation.
