Mr. Barnes will superintend the work, THE CITIZEN last week stated that the first work would be to sink 100 or more feet on their copper claims. ] Gov.

 THE weather has been proper enough this week, but one day the dust and street rubbish were pretty lively and scared about in an objectionable way. Thursday evening, a prominent circle surrounded the moon. What change may occur in the elements in few days, we do not know, and not desiring to know less about the future, we have not consulted any of our excellent weather SeerS.
