AN EAGLE CAPruRED!-A gray eagle was shot
and captured at the head of the Howe race, on
Monday last, by J. A S. Jones Mr.. Jones had
noticed the bird of liberty soaring around during
the forenoon, and while eating his dinner saw
him light on the top Of large spruce tree stand
ing on the summit Of an adjoining ridge. A
fortunate shot from Henry rifle broke the ca
gle's wing, and search being made he was found
not far from where he came down. A,,bopob
disabled and in pain, the proud bird Of freedor
exhibited so much pugnacity that Mr.. Jone. Ala
not care to tackle him. Jones finally succeeded
in driving his prize down into his cabin wbsre
the king Of birds was caught, ignobly confined
in sack and brought to town for exhibition
The broken wing was cut of, from which his king.
ship bled to death. He measured six feet eight
inches from tip to tip Of expanded wings spread
of talons, seven inches.

ACCIDENT TO freight TEAM.-The bridge
across East Weaver creek, on the main travelled
road leading to Minersville, broke down last
Sunday afternoon while q six-horse freight
wagon, loaded with -four from Scett's valley,
was passing over. The structure gave way
about forty feet from the west end where it was
about twelve feet from the ground. The hind
wheel Of the wagon went through first, striking
the ground the margin of the creek, the
fore wheels and the horses following in success
ion and extending along the slope of the bank
nearly to the top. The wagon upset as it went
down, dumping out the entire load. There were
two men along with the team at the time of the
accident. The driver received some injuries
and the horses were badly skinned. Some of
the -four wasted by the bursting of the
sacks, and there was more or less breakage of
harness, etc.

Letter from Canyon Creek.

CANYON CRY, August I'd, 1869.
EDITORS JoURSAL.-I am paying visit to old
Canyon creek and find that the people of this
section have built splendid
WAGON ROAD.
1t passes the quartz claim of Dannenbrink l.
Walters, which was given up BY them for the
want of mill, there being none handy except
coffee mills.
MINING MATTERS.
All the old claims along the creek are paying
more or less, and there will be more prospecting
in this camp than anywhere else in the county,
for the reason that there is much favorable
ground have learned that some of the claims
pay "buiiy." S. Obermeyer John A. Berger
and the Baumgartner Brothers are doing well.
Conrad Dannenbrink has good claim, you
bet. John Bolz is a farmer and miner, and
William Guthrie is running his sawmill as usual.
Doctor Rollln Smith andP O. Grant are opening
a new claim, and, from appearances, they will
do WELL In the town James Gilzean is keeping
has well-suppied store T. d. Jones runs
Tammany hall, and G. Thede has the Miners
hotel IN full blast, as usual, and everything looks
well, much better than expected Flowers &
Smith supply the boys with water, and Canyon
Creek people will pass for I" happy family"
POLITICS
Are somewhat mixed, and everybody has friends !;
but let me advise aspirants for office to attend
the wagon road ball and make things sure by
good earnest electioneering.
BALL.
Speaking of the ball, l certainly think the
builders of the road ought to be well patronized.
They made up their minds to connect Canyon
creek by wagons with the Pacific railway or die
right there, and the work was DONE There
ought to be general turnout on the occasion.
PERSONAL.
II. L. Potter from Junction and L. G. Fisher
from Northfork have returned to Canyon creek.
The latter gentleman intended to go to Boston to
the great Peace Jubilee but could not get away
from here because the road was not finished
The boys are glad to keep him here, he is a good
fellow. Mr.. Potter intends working a claim in
which he expects to make his fortune, and wish
he would.
MISCELLANEOUS.
The principal subject of conversation here just
now is the wagon road ball. and have written
about all have been able to learn. There are
no sore throats here but after while sore heads
may be plenty. OBSERVER.

the recent exhibition, in the presence OF
the wholepeople, ofthe Vice President of
!ne United States travelling andspeaking
in tho interest of the powers I Condemn.
He reminds me of the ass who stole the
habiliments OF. the king Of the forest; for
when he asserts that the country ;s pros
porous and contented; he but shows the
ears which prove his true character. He
came among US more especially as the
representative of the mighty West, q
people not yet hide -boundt to the dictates
OF the moneyed aristocracy, or to GUS
toms and institutions founded upon it.
But he joins counsel and cooperation
with those powers which in themselves
and in their representative capacity are
80 in hostility to the independence and
growth of the West. Let him and those
who have induced him to degrade his
high office to their level, be prepared to
meet on the floor of the Senate, for the
information of the people from whom he
comes, his true character, and that of
the alliance he has made.

In California, miner had died in o
mountain digging, and being much re-
spected, his acquaintances resolved to
give s'square funeral" instead of put
ting the body in the usual way in any
roughly-made hole, and saying by way
of service for the dead. "Thar goes an
other bully boy under" They sought
the service of miner who bore the
reputation of having, at one time of his
career, been "a powerful preacher in the
States" And then, for Western fashion,
all knelt around the grave while the ex-
temporized parson delivered n prodi-
giously long prayer. The miners, tired
OF this unaccustomed opiate, to while
away the time began lingering the earth,
digger fashion, about the grave. Grad
ually looks were exchanged; whispering
increased, until it became loud enough
to attract the attention of their parson,
He opened his eyes and started at the
whispering miners. "What is it, boys?"
Then, his eyes lighting on sparkling
scales of gold, he shouted, "Gold, by
lingo! and the richest kind o'diggingsH
the congregations dismissedv Instant
~ every man began to prospect the new
digging, our clerical friend not beir the
least active OF the number. The BODY
had to be removed elsewhere, but the
memory of the incident yet lives in the
name of the locality, for "Dead Mans
Gulch" became one of the richest locali-
tics in California.
