Mr.. Saunders then invited the party to
proceed to the upper room where bounti-
full coalation was spread, and amid the
drinking of toasts and devouring of cakes a
pleasant hour was spent. The ladies de-
parted, the boys set to with energy to rig
their new machine with her paraphranalia
ready for trial; eight hundred feet Of
leather hose was wound upon the reel and
the party dispersed in high glee.
The machine was built by l.. Button q

The VIRGINIA MINERAL SPRINGS. -
The Montgomery White Sulphur, the Allie
CLANCY, and the Yellow Sulphur. The ad-
vertisements of this group of delightful
Virginia Springs appear in to-day's paper.
Preparations for the coming season are 60
ing on, and they will be opened the first of
June. Located within convenient distance
of each other, on the eastern slope of the
Alleghaney Mountains, they present very
strong attractions to the seekers after pleas
ure and health.
At the Alleghaney extensive improve
ments are being added, and Capt. Calhoun is
putting himself in trim TO give even greater
satisfaction than heretofore.
The Montgomery White, with its superb
accomm Odations, its beautiful lawn, its
grand mountains, and with Capt. Wilson,
late of the Old Sweet, to Superintend, will
be immensely attractive this season. 1t is
also to run an opera house, and its ball
room is always attractive.
And the charming little Yellow Sulphur,
nestled beneath its majestic oaks, is putting
forth new energy and promising great
things for the coming season. 1t is in
good hands now, and we may expect the
most satisfactory season there they have
ever had.
We are glad to see these three Springs
working together. Their interests are COM
mon, and they ought to move in harmony.
Combining their efforts and their influence
they can offer immense inducements to the
public. They possess great advantages, and
they ought to exert themselves in making g
them known.
We would like to see these Springs pros
per. Success to them all.-TLynchburg

RETUR NED.

Hon., J. N. Chappell, who recently
visited San Francisco and also took tour
through SolaDo, Napa, and Sonoma, re-
turned home few days ago. He reports
the crop prospects as very promising in
Solano, Napa, and Sonoma. I!e also says
the Republicans in all the localities which
he visited are full Of hope and determined
to win the next contest, willie the Demo-
crafts are dissatisfied, inharmonious, and
fearful Of losing. control of the State. The
Gorham- Bidwell battle, with change of
names and party, is again being fought,
hence things are mixed in the Democratic
camp. ~

HAs-BoUcHT AFARM.

The Orcville Record, the Democratic
paper Of Butte, in its issue Of March 18th,
says: ss
10. p. Fitzgerald, Superintendent of
Public Schools, has purchased rauch
near Lakeport. So it is announced by an
exchange, which, however. says nothing
about the change of school books in con-
ncction with the purchase. The Sacred
record is more complete in mentioning a
somewhat earlier transaction. and, says
Judas "purchased field with the reward
of his iniquity" May the Democratic
State Convention leave him to the enjoy
ment Of his ranch. &
The Lakeport paper says the Superin-
tendent intends to retire to his ranch after
he is reelected and closes another term Of
Office. We notice that D. Libby, one Of
the agents of the book swindle, has lately
opened out bran new book store on
Montgomery Street, San Francisco.
Well, we will not now express our opin-
ion as to who made the most money out of
the change of School books, but We know
that the people of Shasta county have been,
or rather will be, out and Injured by the
arrangement to the tune of about FIVE
thousand dollars in the aggregate. This
money goes out of the pockets Of the peo-
pie to swell the purses of knaves and book
monopolists, and the children of the coun-
ty will have to use lot Of books entirely
out of date.

To BE ARRESTED.-The Committee ap-
pointed in the Senate to examine into the un-
authorized publication of the Treaty of Wash
ington, recently signed by the Joint High Com
mission and transmitted to the Senate, has
made report through the Chairman, Carpen-
ter. The report gives the testimony of Il. L..
White aud II. j. Ramsdell, correspondents of
the New York Tribune, in which they state
that they obtained the treaty from q printed
copy and telegraphed it to New York, but they
refuse to tell from whom they got it, or how
much they paid for it. The Senate thereupon
adopted resolution directing the Sergeant-at-
Arms to arrest them and bring them before
the bar of the Senate, when they will either be
compelled to answer the questions propounded
or be punished for contempt. 1t is difficult
thing to prevent newspaper correspondents
from getting hold of such important documents,
as they resort to all sorts of strategems in or
der to be the first to give to the public the con-
tents of such important papers.

ors to workup his feelings, if he has any, to a
pitch of indignation, that we should refer TO
the yigilante history of that country. We are
aware that such a theme is unpleasant to our
Valley neighbor. 1t doubtless recalls some
pleasant episodes in the personal experiences
of our Radical cotemporary, who seems to
sigh over the degenerate condition OF affairs
here. He evidently regrets that the halcyon
days of vigilanteism in Idaho have Departed

peace and quietude, reign throughout our Dor
ders. We referred, in the article he quotes
from TO the fact that Montanians were adopt
ing the mining theories of Pacific Coasters,
and stated that we were glad to see that our
east-side neighbors had concluded that some
thing good could come out OF Nazareth; but
our neighbor, with distorted vision which Is
customary with him, endeayors to misconstrue
our language and feelings entirely, and in a
sarcastic manner refers to our belonging to a
tabooed set which he calls "Greasy Pixies
Peakers." We don't deny the soft impeach-
ment, but claim to have become somewhat cos
mopolitan in our tastes, as well as habits. We
were at Pixies Peak were in Montana be-
fore the diggings were struck there; but we
are now an Idahoan, and have been for nearly
nine years; but in all our travels we never en-
tered midnight camp Of vigilantes, nor wore
the jewelry of one of their victims Can our
neighbor claim similar exemption
