In Chickasaw county, Mississippi, not
long ago, Mr.. Lorenzo Day married Miss
Martha Week, upon which a local poet COM
ments as follows:
"a Day is made, Week is lost,
But time should not complain,
There'll soon be little Days enough
To make the Week again.
THE following was the ludicrous result OF
a compositors bunglng punctuatop: Caesar
entered on his head, his helmet on his feet.
armed sandals on his brow, a cloud in his
right hand, his trusty sword in his eye, an
angry glare"
A VICTIM of unrequted affection concludes
as follows:
II sat me down in thought profound,
This maxim wise l drew
It's easier far to love girl
Than make a girl love You"
In cemetery near Oswego Is found the
following epitaph
Here lies my two children dear,
One in Ireland and the other here,

DUTCH FLAT BLUE GRAVEL MINING Com
pANY.-Of this mine the Grass Valley Union
says:-The works of the Company are very
extensive. There are 2 300 feet of thirty
inch iron ppe-3-l6 boiler iron-on the
claims, and 800 feet Of Is and 22 inch
pipe. Through one nozzle water to the
amount 200 inches, miners measure, is
thrown against bank. This water is rushed
through by perpendicular pressure of AGO
feet. This is double the amount of pressure
and of water which is run through any one
nozzle in the State, Another nozze-tbe
Giant Patents soon to be put at work on
the Company's claims, and through this
Giant nozzle $500 inches of water will be
run with AGO feet of pressure. The flume is
four by five feet and is at present 1000 feet
long. A tunnel from Bear River has been
commenced, and when that is finished for
800 it will strike one hundred feet below
the bed rock of the channel of the Dutch
Flat deposit. The tunnel will furnish the fall
so much desired for the immense bed of rich
gravel of the Dutch Flat neighborhood.

A New BLASTING POWDER new blast
ing agent, called the Miners Patent Safety
Powder, is just coming into notice. 1t is
said to be very effective and at the same
time to possess the merit of being cheap
One great advantage claimed for it lies in
the fact that it is free from any unpleasant
odor. A series of experiments have lately
been made to test its efficiency, and, accord
ing to the Nevada Transcript, 100 tons of
rock was blasted out at an expense of S2.7O.
Another blast threw out GO tons at a cost of
$3.50, second quality of powder being
used A hole IL inches deep was drilled in
the bottom of tunnel above the Dartmuoth
mine, and a three ounce cartridge used
The rack was penetrated by the explosion
13 inches below the bottom of the hole made
by the drill. The powder is made of DIFF
ferent grades, numbering from one to six.
The experiments made are said to have been
successful, and the absence of any disagree
able Or unhealthy odor, without taking into
account superiority of power, will do much
towards introducing it into general use.

early in the season were sustained through

cdly the effect of causes. In an apparent

small crop arc more nutritivc in proper

there is less difference than to our excited

it should be cheaper in the winter than in

We regret to announce the death Of
Mrs: Hill, the wife Of our young
friend and former townsman, Mr.: 4,
E. Hill, which occurred'at their resi-.

well spent life, has gone to her peace,

The Columbia ConVentiop-Coqnty
Meeting Called fsr Sale Day.

In response to the call of the State
Central Democratic Committee pub
lished in our last, leading citizens o
our county have deemed it advisable
to haze meeting Of our people, OF
saleday ne4t, to- appoint delegates tt
the Columbia Convention, to be hele
on the l4th of June. The object O.
that convention is to consider thu
propriety of sending delegates to tht
Baltimore Convention, which meets
on the 9th July; and ewhateYer diff
ference of opinion may exist as to th'
course to be pursued in Columbia, We
suppose that none can exist as to thu
propriety,, Of AbbeyiHe being repre-
sented in the convention to ba held
by q full, strong delegation.
1t seems to be- generally conceded
that it is not tho design Of the Go
lumbia Convention to iinangurate .
Democratic canvass in the. State, an!t
too, that such q course would be very
upvise and impolitic. But as to the
propriety Of being. represented in
Baltimore, there seems TO be very
great difference Of opinion: ,r .....
Opr Objects to prevent a separate
nomination sit Baltimore, and the
sole object of sending delegates is to
effect that end. If we fail it matters
very little, whether we are bound OF
not by the action of:the Convention
The election Of Grant is assured. and
our votes are powerless for good OF
evil. The Phsnis may support Gree:
ley and Brown, and the Atlanta SIN
may sustain the nomination of q
straight Bourbon Democrat, and all
with the same result. The only vital
questions seems, to be, ,,as tp the action
of the Baltimore Convention, and the
best mode Of controlling it,. The
Democratic party in the State seems
to be at best in q condition Of sus-
pended animation ;able TO give some
good counsel, and nothing more. We
perhaps can contribute that, and j
it does no good, then it matters very
little how we vote. Hence we are
for sending delegates to Baltimore.
