A young Polish lady, daughter of one
of the mobiles, for expressing sympathy
for some of the unfortunates whom
Russian severity had exiled, was public
ly stripped to the waist short time
since, and subjected to the punishment
of the knout, 35 lashes being admins
tered, each of which cut through the
skin. Four days afterward she stole a
bottle of prussic acid in the hospital
where her wounds were undergoing treat
ment, and ended at once her shame and
her sufferings.

DEAR JOURNAL I've been out like
Philistine Of the olden time, to "view
the nature Of the land" and have con-
cluded that as a sort of compromise be-
tween the composing and grub dig
gings to drop you line whenever occasion
offers and, as l expect tomorrow to

scarcely anybody ever comes or goes. l
tried to induce my old partner Jacinto," D."
to take stock with me in the dggngs
again, but the old gentleman has the
welfare Of the mining community too
deeply at heart, and refuses to go on the
ground that if he does there'll not be an
other drop Of rain this Winter.
There was a time when the section to
which l am going cut quite figure in
this county, there being about seventy
five voters there. They have dwindled
down, however, to half-a-dozen, but you
can bet your boots on them all as Repub-
licans and have "dead wood on win
ming. There is plenty of good mining
ground left in that section but the water
facilities are very poor, and it is likely to
stay there yet for some years, unless some
enterprising company will put on ditch
from the river, which could be done at a
comparatively small outlay of capital. A
couple of enterprises of this kind were
started at one time, but the "big wet "
of 1861 knocked them cold, landing most
of the ditch on the opposite side of the
river. AS there are no large streams on
the West bank nearer than Rush creek,
there is no show to work the high benches
and hills which are to be found between
Lowden's bridge and Douglas City, ex-
cept by the limited supply of water which
some short gulches furnish. The claim
of Marcus Bennett, on Red Flat, of which
mention was made in the JOURNAL some
time since, is worked from one of these
gulches, and the season promises to be an
excellent one for that class of claims,- =

RELIEF FOR SHERIFF JACKsoN.--A bill
has been introduced in the California
Legislature by Hon. w. j. Tinnin, ap-
propriating five thousand dollars for the
purpose of reimbursing Sheriff Jackson
for his necessary expenses incurred in the
noted trial in which All Koo was the
complaining witness and John Jackson
defendant. From the record and espe-
cially from the judgment rendered in the
matter, there can be no question that
the issue made and the proceedings had
were to test the validity of State law
when compared with the provisions of an
act of Congress. 1t appeared that there
was substantial conflict of law, and the
California statute of course was compell-
ed to give way. Under the circum-
stances, Jackson has q good case before
our legislators. In collecting the min
ing license tax our Sheriff was simply
the agent Of the Legislature, and in de-
Tending himself against prosecution just
fled under State law. His expense and
trouble were incurred solely in behalf
of and for the State as its authorized
agent. Under the circumstances, Mr..
jackson has strong case, and by all le-
gal principles the State is bound to re-
imbursc him.

THE LATE SToRM.-The rain which
has already fallen insures a successful
mining season. One striking feature of
the storm was that with twenty-three or
four days steady rainfall there was no
flood. From the amount of water de-
sccnded from the clouds this would seem
unaccouutable. The explanation The
tmperature and the regularity and mod
Grafton with which it rained permitted
the water to penetrate into the earth as
fast as it fell. In the mining claims in
Weaver Basin the the ground is soaked
to the bed-rock-a depth, in some in
stances, of fifty feet or more. For the
past three years the same diggings were
not moistened more than four feet deep.

10. G. T. ANNIvERsARY.-Th mem
bers of Beacon Lodge, No. 300 l. O. G.
T., assembled at their Hall in Weaver
vile last Friday evening, pursuant to
announcement. The public generally be-
ing invited to attend, quite a number OF
the uninitiated were present. The officers
and members wore regalia and occupied
the various chairs to which they were en-
titled in the Lodge. w. G. T. Junkans
called the assemblage to order with three
raps of the gavel. The exercises began
with the Tempars' opening ode. Ad-
dresses We're delivered by Messrs. Charles
Thomas and T. p. Ashbrook, which were
heartily applauded at their conclusion.
More temperance songs were sung, and
all adjourned to the Theater to witness an
amateur dramatic performance by mem
bers of the society. The " Comic Come
dy-Ichabud Suggs Courtship" was well
rendered, and the local hits" drew
forth frequent applause. After the ex-
hibtion, the floor was cleared and the
dance began. Dancing continued until
a late hour, and everybody was satisfied
with the exercises.

MISCELLANEOUS.
A Body and Mind Disease.

Such is dyspepsia. The stomach and
the brain are too intimately allied for the
one to suffer without the other, so that
dyspepsia and dependency are insepa-
rable. 1t may be added, too, that irrita-
ton of the stomach is almost invariably
accompanied by irritation of the temper.
The invigorating and tranquilizing OPP
Grafton of Hostetter's BitterS is most pow
ertully developed in cases of indigestion.
The first effect of this agreeable tonic is
comforting and encouraging. a mild glow
pervades the system, the chronic uneasi-
ness in the region of the stomach is less
ened, and the nervous restleSsness which
characteriZes the disease is abated. This
improvement is not transient. 1t is not
succeeded by the return of the old symp-
toms with superadded force, rs is always
the case when unmedicated stimulants
are given for the complaint. Each dose
seems to impart permanent accession
of healthfu. invigoratlon. But this is not
all. The aperient and anti-bilious pro-
perties of the preparation are scarcely
secondary in importance to its tonic vir-
tues. If there is an overflow of bile, the
secretion is soon brought within proper
limits, and if the hilary organ is inert
and torpid it is toned and regulated.
The effect upon the discharging organs is
equally sautary, and in cases of const-
patton the cathartic action is just sutf-
cicn to produce the desired result gradu-
ally and without pain. The Bittors also
promote healthy evaporation from the
surface, which is particularly desirable
at this season when sudden spells of raw,
unpleasant weather are apt to check the
natural perspiration and produce conges-
ton of the liver, coughs and colds. The
best safeguard dgdinSt 0U diseases is
bodiiy Uigor, and this the great Vegeta-
BILE Restorative especially promotes.

seen that they will be able to do big work
this season. They will strip not less than
sixty thousand square feet of bedrock

To show the difference between this and
