SAD AFFAIR.-James Daniels, who resides
about seven miles from Auburn on the Grass
Valley road, while chopping block, with axe in
one hand and holding the block with the other,
by some accident made miss lick and chopped
the fore-finger of his left hand off close to the
palm. After wrapping the wound up carelessly
he started for this town for the purpose of
ing surgical aid. On examination by Doctors
DuBois and Todd, it was decided that the finger
on account of the shattered condition of the bone,
would have to be amputited at the third joint.
This operation was successfully performed and
the patient is now walking around town, appar-
emily at ease.

regarding the condition and prospects of the
different quartz mines in the Ophir District:
At the St. Patrick they continue to raise rich
ore The Spanish ledge, East of the St Patrick
MILL is looking well and prospects fine. Jones'
& Co., at Crater hill, are down l45 feet, and the
ore is very rich. The Bellevue Co. are still
sinking their shaft with good prospects, and they
are also driving their main tunnel ahead and have
plenty of good rock in sight. The Golden Eagle
Co. is going ahead as fast as they can with very
iAe prospects and the working well. The

CHILEAN CELNBRATIoN.-By referring to an
other column may be found complete pro-
gramme of the Chilean celebration which is to
come off at Forest Hill, in this county, on the
18th of September, 1872, in commemoraton of
the sixty-second anniversary of Chilean indie
pendance. By reading the programme it will be
seen that neither pains nor expense is being
spared to have grand, good time. The streets
are to be decorated with arches and gay festoons.
The celebraters will march through the principal
streets of the town. headed by the Auburn Brass
Band. Reading of the act of the Independence
Of Chill and Grafton. interspersed with singing
and music, will be the principal programme of the
day. At night there will be grand display Of
fl e'work' and grand ball where all can 60 and
enjoy to their satisfaction the unpr ecedented de-
lights of tripping the light fantastic for the
small sum OF 50 90. Their celebrations are in
variably success. This is rare opportunity
to have first rate time, and we bespeak for our
American citizens of Chilean extraction good

Wonders Of the Universe.

What assertions will make one be
lieve that in one second of time, one
beat OF the pendulum of q clock, a
ray OF light travels 1872 600 miles, and
would, therefore, perform the tour of
the world in about the same time
that il requires TO wink with cur
eyelids, and in much less time than a
swift runner occupies in taking
single stride, What mortal can DO
made to believe, without demonstra-
ton, that the sun is almost a million
times larger than the earth? and that
although 10 remote from Us, o can
non ball shot directly toward it, anf
maintaining it's fall sneed wonld ha
affects the earth by it's attraction IN
in an applicable instant CT time ?
Who would not ask for demonstra-
ton when told that o gnats wing, in
its ordinary flight, beats many hun
dred times in second or there ex-
list animated and regular organized
beings, many thousands of whose
bodies laid together would not ez~
tend an inch 2
But what are those TO the aston
ishing truths which modern optical
inquiries have disclosed, which teach
that every point of medium through
which a ray of light passes is affects
ed with "a succession of periodical
movements, regularly recurring at
equal intervals, no less than five hun
dred million of millions of times in a
single second2 That it is by such
movements communicated to the
eye that we see; nay more, that is
the difference in the frequency OF
, their recurrence which affects us
with the sense of the diversity of col
ors =? That, for instance, in acquir-
ing the sensation of redness our ey es
are affected four hundred AID eighty
two million of millions of times OF
yelowness, five hundred and forty
one million of millions of times and OF
violet, seven hundred and seven mil
lions of times per second Do not
such things sound more like the raw
ings of O mailman than the sober
conclusions of people in their waking
sense? They are, nevertheless, &c
which anyone may arrive who will
only be at the trouble of examining
the chain of reasoning by which they
have been obtained.
