Gold Mining in Victoria.-14, 900 China.
men at Work.

The yield of gold obtained from
quartz in Victoris is now about equal
to that from the alluvial workings,
which, in the earlier gold digging,
formed the only source from which
gold was obtained. As only an infnit-
esimal portion of quartz reefs of the
colony is supposed to have been as yet
discovered. it is maintained that the
mining industry will be proftably fol-
lowed for centuries. The mining regis
trars and surveyors reports estimate the
quantity of gold raised in the second
quarter of 1870, exclusive of
ing in scattered parts, from which re-
turns are not Obtained), at 355, ,430
ounces, or AZ, 900 ounces more than in
the previous quarter; 18O, IA ounces
from alluvial ground, being an increase
of 1000 ounces; and 174, ,686 ounces
from the quartz reefs, an increase of
33, 900 ounces. The total of tho min
ing population at the end of the quar-
ter stood at 57,439, of whom 81, ,O94
Europeans and IA, 487 Chinese were al
luvial miners, and Is, 760 Europeans
and ia Chinese were quartz miners.
The Custom House returns show an
export Of 984, 130 ounces of Victoria
gold in 1871 up to the end of July, be-
ing an increase of 13S, 737 ounces over
the corresponding period of 1870.

\ New Railway PrccautiOn.

A Michigan railroad comp anyhas at
tachcd to thirty four of it's locomotives
U new style of alarm-bell The bell is
so attached that when the engine goes,
the bell rings, being struck by the ham
mer once at each revolution of thedriv-
ing wheels. Being placed direc9ly in
front of the boiler, the sound of the
bell is seldom heard by the engineer or
fireman on the engine, and cannot be
heard on the train consequently it is
no annoyance to passengers, while, it
is claimed, its position causes the sound
to be thrown forward, and conducted,
by the earth und the railroad track or
rails, so that it can be heard consider
able distance in advance of the train,
thus giving timely warning. The Gem
eral Superintendent of the road thinks
some recent accidents would have been
certainly prevented by the use of this
invention.

Criticism.

A little bird, whose heart was full Of song,
perched on bough and poured bis notes along
The summer air, 80 eN Get, that Zepher staid
Awhile to listen, pensive as a maid
And 10, q moping owl, whose cell was near,
Forgot bis revery, and deigned to hear;
But, Wishing to be thought moro wise than pleased
His load Of learning thus he lightly eased:
" Think not, vain singer, that your song is new;
Three thousand years ago, in Greece, there flew
And sang bird, the counterpart of you!
And we who Bpend our hours in classic toll
And burrow deep in learning's musty soil,
Know all about that ancient borrowed strain;
So, sing new songs, or never sing again !"
The simple singer, innocent of art,
Who only knew his song came from the heart,
Made no reply, but hushed his modest noto
And few, to sing from wisdom more remote,
While Zephyr, swelling to tempest howl,
At loss Of song, smote the pedantic owl.

Fatal Accident.

Yesterday, about noon, the horses drawing
q wagon which had been to the city with
load Of hay, and was returning to the
country, in which were Paul Michael and
Martin Justice, took fright at something
near Fifth and Elm streets, and dashed away
at furious rate. The horses were travelling
pretty fast at the time they began to run, and
both men seized the reins TO stop them. The
fore part of the wagon gave way, and they
were both precipltated ON to the tongue, and
under the heels of the horses, being dragged,
kicked and lacerated in a dreadful manner.
The wagon ran Oven Michael, and his head
was cut and jaw broken, 80 that il is thought
he canno, live bul or n shOrt time. Justice
was dangerously wounded, but 1t is hoped
will recover. They both were well cared for,
one by Rev. Mr. Marshall and the other by
Mrs. Dewire. They lived near Edwards
vile, Kansas, whence their friends have
been telegraphed to come to their relief.

An Anchor to Windward.

1t is good seamanship, when there is reason 10
expect heavy weather, to drop anchor TO wind
ward.
We are in the midst OF the season of chilis and
fever The sure preventive of this distressing
malady is Hostetter's Stomach Biiters. A course
of that wholesome vegetable tonic will render an
attack impossible. Take the hint and drop an
CHOIR TO windward.
Weak ston achs are most Liable 10 be disordered
late in the autumn when the changes OF temper
AZURE are marked and frequent. Hostetter's Bit
orides the stomach against the effects Of these
variations. Let dyspeptics make note Of this fact
and drop an anchor 10 windward.
The liver is more sensitive when the weather is
continually alternating between the warmth Of
summer and the cold Of winter than at any other
period OF the year. This is peculiarly the season Of
such alterations. Let the bilious remember that
Hostetters' Stomach Bitters is essentially anti
billion. medicine, and drop anchor to wind

The wIsest plan is TO forestall evil. The mex
best thing is 10 arrest it. For disorders Of the

odical fevers, take, the complaint devel-
opes ITSELF Hostetter's Stomach Bitters.
