DrvrrcrLr SusarcA OPERATION. About =
week since, says the Sacramento Union. little
girl, daughter Of Mrs. Blackburn, widow lady
Of Rocklin. accidentally swallowed . pine nut
which she had in her mouth. The nut made its
way into the windpipe and thence to the lung
causing great distress. The child was brought
to the city for medical treatment, but the cause
Of the trouble could not, Of course, be reached in
the position it occupied. day or two SINCE
however, the child coughed the nut up from the
lung into the larynx, where it remained. On
Saturday, prominent surgeon of the city. who
had been applied TO- successfully performed the
very delicate operation of cutting into the wind
pipe and removing the nut. Last evening the
patient was deemed to be in precarious condi-
ton, consequent upon the Inflammation Of the
lung, which had become very severe prior to the
expulsion Of the nut. We learn since that the
little girl has materially improved, and is thought
to be out Of danger.

The NEW SrRIKE.-The rich ledge of quartz
opened and located by John Dillon. of which We
spoke last week, has now settled into the perma-
nent ownership Of John Dillon, p. Hines and
jacob Cowan. All these owners are experienced
working miners, and will lose no time and spare
no labor in opening and developing the ledge.
The ledge is found to be fully four feet thick
and we'll defined by the wall rock, and easily
traced. The groupings at the point where first
discovered are very rch-so rich that il the
ledge should hold to that kind Of pay for any
considerable depth, fortune would be too eas-
ly acquired.

FURTHER DEvELoPMENTs.-Mr. Lowery, the
lucky prospector," has struck rich quartz on
what is considered an extension OF the Dillon
ledge, So rich that We are told, with what truth
We cannot say, that it is difficult to break and
separate the boulders on account Of their being
held together by thread gold. Other parties are
also said to have found good prospects on fur
ther extensions of this ledge in tho past few
days. The exceeding richness Of the Rock
Greek surface mines below where this ledge

carried an old Queen Anne musket that
weighed about ton, making report like

old man wanted me to shoot the mnsket
sometimes, but was afraid. One day, tho,
I got her down, and taking her to the hired
man. asked him to load her because the old
man was out in the fields. Hiram said, "do

Weed had about as much system in keep

and had that grain ofgood sense; Which sdg::
gested to himFthe propriety Of placing any
specific SUM Of money which he didn't want
spent atrandom in the hands Of some ifnan-
ciier friend In 1867. w. came to New
York and received from his republican frie-
nds S25,0OO-sl0 900 for the purpose of
defeating Fillmore for President, $4,000 for
the uso ofrepublicans in Albany, and 81, 600
for the Evening Journal. For safe keeping
he gave the Albany central committee ten
thousand, placed FIVE thousand to the credit
of tho Journal, and requested his partner
(Mr. Sinclair, believe) to place the secret
ten thousand (to be used against his old
friend Filmore) to his, Sinclnir's, credit in
bank, which could be drawn as required. -
He did 3d. Ono, fine morning Sinclair drop
ped dead from heart disease The n'thon-

Thus it was swept into the dead mans estate

honorable ex-President from Buffalo and the
charming widow of Mr.. Weeds partner
we're attracted by the mysterious influence

ter they were united by the hymenial knot;
and poor Weed saw his darling ten thousand

cessful candidates marriage portion" 1t is
said that Thurlow Weed tells this good joke
on himself with relish, and joins as hearth
lily in the gufaw it never fails to inspire; as
he used to in those halcyon days ofyore when
he used to tell stories on the stage coach be-
tween New York city and the capital Of the
Excelsior State.
