ance, brilliant meteorc display took place al
most in the zenith of the visible cele stal atmos
phere accompanied by repeated sounds like the
bursting of rockets in the air, followed by an
immense meteor, that shot off to the Northeast
for distance of some forty degrees, and burst
with grand display, leaving a bright belt in the
heavens which gradually faded away. At the
time heavy, black clouds hung over the Sieras
but all was calm and clear in the west, People
who saw this beautiful and startling sight ore

STORE RoBpED.-On Sunday evening last, some
thieves got into the rear building of Houser' S
Dry Goods Store before bedtime, by means of a
false key, and stole and packed off one case of
shoes and three cases of boots, two of sewed and
one of miners boots, worth some $3.50. When
the clerks went to 60 to bed they discovered the
theft, and hunt for the thieves and property
was commenced. The thieves were tracked to
the alley way leading to General Hamilton's lot,
and there the boxes were opened and the boots
taken out but the shoes were left. The tracks
were followed on through Hamilton's lot and
out towards the railroad where parley or divis-
ion of spoils occurred and then again back TO-
wares Chinatown. On the next day, Mr..
Adrian, while out hunting caught Chinaman
near the place where the parley or division of
property was had with one new boot of those
stolen, and made him walk before his gun to
town boot in hand but this Chnaman ''no
sabe, and after being kept in Jail day or two
was discharged. The impression is that in diyid-
ing the plunder in the dark, this boot was left,
and this Chinaman had been sent back to get it
to fill out the pair. 1t seems to be almost n
possible to guard against these Chinese thieves,
and there are about fifty Of them here, more or
less, that should be made to take walk or climb
a tree and jump off at the end of rope. At
tempt to prosecute them and they will swarm into
court and swear each other clear.

The DILLON MISE.-The owners OF this new
mine, Dillon, Cowan and Hines had thirty tons
of the quartz just as it came from the ledge; and
all that was out crushed at the Empire mill this
week. which yielded according to the estimated
value of the m elted gold, 81 l4j or over 81 per
ton. Mr.. McFadden, owner of the mill. says
this is the best ore, all to come from within thir-
ty feet Of the surface and miled without picking
or selecting, that ever passed through the En-
p;re mill. The first shaft sunk missed the main
ledge, but they are now on it and down some
thirty feet where it shows clear, well defined
walls and is nearly II rec feet thick From this
thirty tons there had been selected some seven
hundred pounds of li,h rock and crushed, which
yielded about one dollar to the pound, which if
it had been left to be crushed would have made
yield of S93 perton. This mine is in the Lone
Star or Rock Creek District, about three miles
north Of Auburn. The owners are now erecting
hoisting works the claim preparatory to a

SEEING DoUBLE.-Our neighbor has seen the
magnificent gold quartz slab taken from the
Greene mine and referred to by us last week. 1t
measured near two inches thick, one foot long,
three inches wide and weighed near eight
pounds. When our neighbor saw it, it had more
than doubled in size, being two inches thick one
foot long and seven inches wide, but had depre-
ciated in weight. Indeed, the rock he saw should
have had no gold in it, as quartz slab of that
size would weigh more than seren pounds with
out any gold in it. Guess our neghbor looked
at it through horn or glass, or the presence Of
so much gold magnifed his sight. We don't
want the impression to get out that the quartz
and gold from this mine is so devlish light in
proportion to its size.

There are two things which greatly !
tend to our moral and spiri itual welfare
a pious mother and good companions
AS we are all blessed with a mother who
watches and takes care of us until we
are able s'tozdo for ourselves,'' it be-
comeseour first and chief duty to obey
her and do as she commands. Another
is a vine of which we zare.the branches,
and, as we grow older and stronger, we
should aid her. Oh! happy is he who is
blessed with kind and religious mother,
His infancy will glide as the ripping
brook. and, unless he entirely forgets her
pious max inns and Christian princi pies,
which isalm ost impossible life will seem
as but a pleasant dream. The germs OF
religion Gspringing up, If tenierly cared
for, and cautiously Watched,s will yield
fruit a hundred fold. But, as our mother
cannot always be near us, we shoulJt, ON
our entry into the world, judiciously Sc
lect companions who@win be capable of
honora bly, filling the place vacated by
her-com panions in whose society we
can mingle without falling into sin, and
whose conversations will not defile and
poison our ears with slanderous speeches.
If we do this, what agony and trouble we
will be spared in our old age, and with
what boundless joy will our spirit take
its fight heaxenward, and receive from
the divine 4ips of the Judge of judges
the reward of the good steward, "Come,
