The HOME JoURNAL.--The Home
Journal is the society paper of America
and has no rival in the field it occupies.
For 1871 it is to be still further enlarged,
and its columns will doubtless serve its
patrons with more success than ever.
The enterprise of its publishers have al
ways made it great attraction in society
and the fashionable world, and its fame
under the programme for next year is
likely to become still greater. Single
copies one year $500. Address Morris

A RING" ARRANGEMENT.-I is re-
ported that spectators "ring' is being
formed in San francisco, having for its
object the location of large tracts of miner
al land under the Sargent bill, and by a
series of manipulations to get it into the
market for sale in small lots to actual miners.
1t is our opinion that the spectators have
overshot themselves in this connection, and
that they will find it impossible to remove
the safeguards thrown around the rights of
actual miners by the provisions of the bill,
unless by perjury so gross as to lay them
liable to prosecution and punishment

FROM THE MINEs.-Our travelling
agent who is visiting the mining districts
In Shasta county, writes that the prospects
are most encouraging, and many of the
mines are doing exceedingly well. On
Clear Greek John Harrison is working a
claim with two white men and seven China-
men. Last year he took out f om SI2 900
to Sl5, 1000 and it is now yielding from one
and half to two ounces of gold per day
to man. So rich is the claim that they
frequently take out S100 to the pan. Sin.
gular as 1t may appear, this ground has
been prospected many times before and
abandoned as worthless. At French Gulcb.
Walter Whitney is working bank claim,
out of which he is taking, by his own labor,
from $40 to $50 day. In six weeks he
has taken out over $1,000. Many other
claims in the vicinity are doing well. But
comparatively few claims are being worked
however, on account of the scarcity of

DISEASE AMONG HoRsEs-Recently
James Hall, Henry May, John Fleming,

eral contraction of the muscles, as shown
in cases of the cramps.

almost universally with the Prussians."

BODY FoUND.-On Friday, the 29th,
Geo. Moore discovered the body of H. G.
Hutchinson lodged on a rock in the Sac
ramento at point about one mile and
half below where the engineer was drowned
on the 21st inst. The body was in such an
advanced state of decomposition as to ren-
der it necessary to bury it near the place
where it was found. Accordingly Moore
constructed a coffin of the best material
at hand, and the remains we've placed there
in and buried on the bank OF the river,

VNHE IMPRESSION OBTAINS AMONG many
Il persons that the value of Accident Insurance
can be appreciated only by travellers, or those
whose avocations necessarily of a hazardous
nature. Still statistics show that in every
tel Of the entire population meets with
Accident every year Every prudent and careful
man will act with reference to future contingencies.
Bodily injury by accident is of the most fre-
quent of Distress If distress to mans family
il fatal to him I; and to himself also, if only dis
abling him from business,
In either case this mode of insurance comes to
you with a certain relief.
Eoery is liable to accident, Good Luck"
cannot always be depended upon.
The question to be settled are precisely the same
as in fire insurance. Is it not cheaper to let
responsible company take the risk than it is to
carry it yourself? Is not the protection offered
,oorth more than 1t costs.
What Accidents Have to be Paid For.

A FAMILY MEDIcINE.-We call special
attention of our readers to the advertise
ments of that favorite home remedy, Perry
Davis Pain Killer 1t has been before
the public over thirty years, and probably
has wider and better reputation than any
other Proprietary medicine of the present
day. At this period there are but few un-
acquainted with the merits of the Pain
Killer; but while some extol it as lin
iment, they know but little of its lower in
easing pain when taken internally, while
others use it internally with great success,
but are equally ignorant of its healing vir-
tues when applied externally. We there
fore, wish to say to all that it is equally sue
cessful whether used internally or external
ly, and it stands to-day, unrivalled by all
the great catalogue of Family Medicines
1t is sufficient evidence of its virtues as a
standard medicine, to know that it is now
used in all parts of the world and that its
sale is constantly increasing. No curative
agent has had such widespread sale or given
such universal satisfaction. 1t is a purely
vegetable compound, and perfectly safe,
even in unskillful hands

STRUCK lT.-Horace Green, who recent
ly opened a claim on the noted Banghart
lead on Mad Mule creek, has just struck
the pay streak aud taken out as high as
S12 to the pan. We also understand that
Banghart who owns the first claim located
on the lead, has lately been taking out
gold at the rate of about an ounce per day,
There is plenty more diggings in this county
just-as rich as the Banghart lead. Such
ground is too valuable to be allowed to fall
into the hands of ChiDamen, and the yel-
low skinned hoathens should be kept ex-
cluded from so rich mining locality.

Whether this is the best mode Of select

leaving with them the impression that be

while his words furnish reflective food

Of that witty brilliaucy which carries the

Colonel Dyer, it cannot te denied, is
brilliant and fluent young speaker; and
when we see him on the rostrum, We feel

sion, and often hides beneath CLOAK of
