Oh Broadway, aud made a connection
with a sewing machine, so that the use
of a treadle for motive power Is ell

through the machine. A very pretty
ornamental piece Of casting about two
inches thick and q foot In diameter Is
attached to one end OF the stand, and
inside Of this casting Is a wheel to

aHAsIlY. MYSTERY.

On Thursday morning says the San
Francisco Chronicle OF Saturday, a
man, accompanied by a dog, was wan
derlng througha gloomy canyon about
one mile from Belmont, known as the
.Canyada de Raynundo." The man
had reached the middle Of the canyon,
When the dog suddenly began barking,
aud then he trotted up TO his master
with n boot In his mouth, aud tho man
saw that In the boot vas a human foot.
Or at least the shll-bnne aud bones Of
q foot. The man was Mortified and
started back to the clump OF bushes
where the dog had found the boot, and
there he found q human skull with u
bullet hole through It, and a copy Of
the Days Doiags Of April p, 1871.
Besides this there was nothing chat In
dictated the presence Of man or gave
the least clue to the circumstances Of
the murder or suicide, whichever 1t
might be There was no other portion
OF the body In sight or to BIZ found.
Detective Stone. OF this city, Informed
a Chronicle reporter last night, that
during April, 1871. he had OCCASION to
70 to the "Canyada In search Of
some escaped couvlcts from Carson.
At that time u number Of desperadoe.
were camping In the "Canyada, and
had committed depredstions OH tho
surrounding farms and farmers. Stoue
and Sheriff Walker started up to tho
'.Canyada =" and found the camp. but
the birds had flown. They lett behind
them blankets, provisions aud numsr-
ous articles Of clothing, but no trace Of
themselves. The bones aud skull NELL
tioued were found within a hundred
yards Of the camp, aud It Is probable
that the ~despendoss murdered some
poor traveller, or had II row among
themselves In which one of their nuii-
Der was killed. The residents near
Belmont are In a great excitement
over the discovery. -. ..a

From Virginia City, Phoebe. Eureka.

TOO MUCH CONFIDENCE.

The greatest error Of the Republi.
can party In this State two years ago,
and the error which led to its defeat,
was that Of undertaking the real
strength Of the Democracy. The con-
sequence was, that the ticket put In the
field was not as strong as It should
have been ; the best men were not put
forward ; the proper amount Of ener-
getic work was not done by the party
and the result was that the Democracy
achieved al exceedingly easy victory.
Shall We fall into the same mistake
again now? It Is true that, thanks to
the GOLD Hill News q stronger Re-
publican county ticket Is placed In the
field than there was two years ago.
but It u Idle to ignore the fact that the
Democracy have also q strong ticket
In the field, and that they are better
prepared for a square fight than they
were then. Our, best efforts have
been to prevent any weak nominations
being placed upon the Republican
ticket, yet what few may be there, are
not BY any meansan irreparable desri-
ment. The nominations are made, the
ticket Is In the hands Of the party, and
now let US not by any means under
rate the strength Of those who so hand
somely beat Us two years ago. We DO
not, like the Enterprise. fistter the
ticket, either individually or collect
lively, and prognossicate an easy vic.
tory, but square. systematic. thorough
and energetic work alone can carry
1t through to ultimate triumph.

pLucW ENTERPRISE,

From the Oakland ,Cal.) News, Sept. 21d.l
About one year ago, the startling
news reached California that a fleet OF
whaling vessels had become ice.bound
In the Arctic Ocean and deserted BY
their crews.- The captains, owners,
agents aud everybody else gave tho
vessels up as i%rretrievably lost, and the
disaster soon passed from the public
mind. But there were q few enter
prising individuals, It seems, who
knew a thing or two about whale ships
and the deep blue waters Of the frozen
North, and as It now appears, these
particular few entertained the belief
that something yet might be saved
from the fleet. About five months
ago Capt. F. 80. Wilcox and DR.. Sam
Merritt Of this city, and Michael Reese
and an old salt named Capt. Williams,
put their heads and some OF their
funds together, fitted out the bark
Florence, and started her under COM
mand Of the Last named gentleman
for the scene Of the wrecks.
The Florence sailed on the 10th OF
May with a sufficient complement of
men to work two vessels. On Satur-
day last a-letter was received from
Captain Williams, by a vessel just ar
rived from the North, containing the
gratifying Intelligence that the VEN

OF the whalers-has been saved, with

FADING HOPES.

The returns from the "back coun-
ties" In North Carolina threw q dam
per on the Greeley movement. The
friends OF the Philosopher vert so sure
that the old North State had gone In
their favor that they announced a brill
liant victory before the polls we're
closed. In fact in some places they
had their guns loaded on the morning
Of the election and discharged them at
sunset without hearing from the State.
But when the returns came In, and
they found that they had burned their
powder over q Republican victory.
they felt sore and have continued so
ever since. Driven from North Caro-
lima they fell back on West Virginia.
Here they were determined to make a
stand, but defeat followed them. and
the corrupt coalition went down be-
fore honesty and patriotism. Then
they retreated to Vermont. Greeley's
Tribune had an immense circulation
among the Green Mountain boys, aud
that fact would surely save them.
Aside from this the people were too
intelligent to be hoodwinked by the
Administration, and the judges Of cleo
ton were o pure to be corrupted by
Boutwell's gold. All they wanted
wa, a fair election among an intelli-
gent people aud the country would
see the real strength Of the great tidal
wave that was to sweep the country In
November. They have had what they
earnestly prayed fora fair election
among an iutelllgent people-and YER
mont has repudiated Greeley by a Re-
publican majority larger by several
thousands than the entire vote cast for
the Liberal ticket. Milne adds TO the
ensmy's generalization. and Pennsyl-
vania and Indiana will finish the Gree
ley movement. Some good men have
been led into tho movement, hut their
number 10 daily, decreasing. In the
face Of all this the solid men Of the
nation, the honest and loyal citizens
who love their country above party
have united to defeat the mongrel COM
bination that seeks to gain possession
Of the Government. ---
