, 10 ouE COUNTRY PATRoNs.-Adoptine
the Language. of an exchange, we need hardly
remind our country patrons that the money
pressure is very great, and very oppressive,
and how the people in towns and cities, who
have to buy everything they consume, feel i.
most sensibly. No class, perhaps, realize the
strinsency to a greater extent than newspa>
per publishers that do credit business-some,
thing which, by the way, they never ought to
do. Their bills outstanding against parties
are comparatively small, though, very nu,aer,
oas' and scattered over wide extent of couni
try, making it exceedingly difficult and ex-
pensiye to collect them, while large propor>
ton are never paid. But, hard as the times
are, the expenses of publication are not di>
unfinished, and they have to be paid regularly.
In cash, or the work of publication mns,
cease. We would therefore respectfully urge
all who know themselves to DO in debt t6~this
establishment, and who feel any interest in
the success of the SPIRIT OF JEFFERSON. to
remit, at least, portion Of what they owe.
1t those who owe US have no money and will
send pork, beef, -four, corn, potatoes or wood.
we will receive these at market rates. We
make this proposition in spirit of accommo>
dation, hoping that i. will be responded to in
like manner. Some of our ..dead-beats. ~
who wall pay nothing. = must cut off, and
that speedily.
The editor of this paper has been preven>
ted. by disability and consequut confinement
indoors for some days past, from making ner
sonal appeals to some of those indebted to
this Office, and therefore hopes that this mod
est request will not. as has been the case too
often heretofore, be passed by UNDECIDED. !

A RICH MINING CLAIM,

The San Francisco Chronicle, OF q late
date, makes the following reference to
rich strikes in Ell Dorado county:
Ell Dorado county looms up again as
mining region. Many recent develop
ments have taken place to show that its
gravel hills are wonderful sources of
wealth, and its quartz veins among the
richest of the State The Placervile
Democrat mentions number of the best
paying mines, but particularly notices
the "Stuckshlager" claim, which is yield
ing equal to the best diggings in the
flush days of 40 In one spot forty
ounces were obtained from a single pan
of the deposit, gathered up without Sc
lection from its native bed. A painful
from another spot yielded five and half
pounds of gold. Another painful scraped
from the slanting bed rock last Tuesday
yielded over one hundred dollars. There
is rich and continuous seam from
which these results are obtained, ranging
from one and two inches up to foot or
more in thickness, and pitching towards
the main ridge in westerly direction.
The components of the pay streak are
rotten quartz, ferruginous tale, black
substance resembling plumbago, and
other indescribable substances, all of
which, however, are equally and thickly
charged with gold, bright. rusty or black,
from the fineness of flour to the scraggy
piece with dollar or more. A pay streak
like this is worthy the searching after;
and there is little doubt but it will here
after be struck, like the blue gravel lead,
in numerous different places for con-
siderable distance

mo, Ed; mother wouldn't let me- She's
as much opposed to borrowing and lend
ing as you are"
"Well, dear, when your neighbor sends
to you Tor groceries again, just say you
can't spare themo
During Edgar's absence I was actually
besleged on the borrowing question; re
pulsed III one quarter, Angelica returned
to the charge in another Denied sugar
tea, flour, rice, vegetables came in reQuisi-
ton, and these I freely gave away; and I
reluctantly continued to loan my kitchen
utensils till Lucy found my best tub all to
pieces at the well, where Angelica had left
it when she was done using it. On clean
ing day, Lucy acknowledged she had
handed the securing brush across the
fence to her kitchen neighbor, who ingen-
uousiy owned that the COW had eaten the
shucks and she had burned the handle, so
mao 10 send to the carpenters and have
could be done. r
In the large garden belonging to the
nelghborlng premises grew fine Soup
pornong vine, and in September, when the
grapes were ripe, a wagon loaded with
boxes and barrels of provisions arrived a
present to Mrs. Dorsey from her
relatives. [ now congratulated nv
self with the hope Of a speedy restoration
OF the groceries | had lent, but
instead came an invitation to a grape fes-
tival. Mrs. Dorsey came over to tell me
her plans, to press me to go, and to Dor
row my new lilac scarf and lace berthe for
Meqora; but the memory Of my ruined
bridal silk strengthened me to refuse both
propositions politely but decidedly. The
consequence was, the young lady scorn-
fully cut my acquaintance, and though
her mother kept up a show Of friendli-
ness, she became more formal, while re-
ports of my d5s0greeabZe aDoys, by the
Dorsey's, were brought to me by my we'll
meaning friends
1t was the last week of the old year, and
Edgar, looking over his accounts, ex-
amined my housekeeping memoranda,
among which [ had put down the various
articles loaned and never returned
"You have kept your accounts so we'll
you deserve a Christmas gift, wife, and I
herewith present you one hundred and
fifty dollars, to be collected out of Mrs.
Dorsey" then seeing my face cloud he
laughingly said, "I've got a piece Of good
news for you, darling Captain Dorsey
told me this evening he had lost heavily
this year, and could not afford to keep up
so much style. He moves into the coun-
try next week, so goodbye to your trouble

A California Story.

The facts narrated herein were told us
yesterday by gentleman who declared he
would vouch for their authenticity A
few days ago, a man dressed in plain, but
neat clothes, presented himself at the Of
flee of the cashier of the United States
Branch Mint, and said he would like to
make draft on the institution.
"Does the Mint owe you anything?"
asked the cashier
"a small sum. [ believe [ have on de-
post somewhere in the neighborhood of
one hundred and sixty ounces of gold
dust"
81 don't remember having received any
such sum recently"
"NO; reckon not, for you see [ don't
think you were here when [ made the
deposit" and the stranger produced from
his pocketbook a brown, age-begrimed
looking piece of paper, which he handed
to the gentlemanly cashier.
The latter took the paper and read,
"ReCeived of -- in 1854, one hundred
and sixty ounces of gold dust, ETC., etc.
and then exclaimed, "Why this has been
here for nineteen years!'
81 guess it's about that time. You see,
[ came down from the mines in 1854,
bringing with me some dust. A little dab
deposited here, while good deal more
was gambled and fooled away-drinking
and SIGH. Then l really don't remember
much more about what happened until [
found myself at sea, in the forecastle of a
ship. was told that [ had shipped as a
sailor, and maybe I did, at any rate there
was no help for it, and [ did my duty as
well as knew how until | was discharged
IN Australia, when [ went off TO the mines
in that country, and have been trying my
luck in almost every quarter of the globe.
But times have changed a great deal since
the flush days of early California. [ could
spin you an interesting life-yan, but this
IS not the time or place, so if the docu-
ments are all right, will trouble you for
the little sum- 81"
An examination of the books revealed
the fact that the amount had been deposit
ed and never called for, but was always
kept in readiness for the depositor The
man was informed that the Government
did not pay interest on deposits, but was

THE WIDOW TO HER SON.

FThe following touching verses from the Dublin
Freeman, represent an Irish mothers message to
her emgrant son in America by another emigrant
asst about to sail
Remember, Denis all babe YOU saw:
Tell him were well and happy, thank the Lord
But of our troubles since he went away
Your mind, avlck, and never say word
0f cares and troubles, sure, we've all our
share.
The finest summer isn't always fair
Tell him the spotted heifer calved in May;
She dled, poor thing; but that you needn't
mind;
Nor how the constant rain destroyed the hay;
But tell him God to US was ever kind,
And when the fever spread the country DER
His mercy kept the sickness from our door.
Be sure you tell him how the neighbors came
And cut the corn and stored it in the barn;
7Tw0Uld be well to mention them by
Pat Murphy, Ned McCabe, and Shamus earn,
And big Tim Daily from behind the hill
And say, agra i-oh, say, miss him still.
They came with ready hands our toll to share;
Twas then missed him most-my own right
a.s hand:
felt although kind hearts were round me there
The kindest heart beat in a foreign land.
Strong hand brave heart!-one severed far
BY many weary league Of snorc and sea.
And tell him she was with us-he'I know who;
havOurneen, hasn't she the winsOme eyes?
The darkest, deepest, brightest, bonniest blue
l ever saw, except in summer skies;
And such black hair lit is the blacklist hair
That ever rippled over neck so fair.
Tell him old Pincher fretted many day.
And moped, poor dog! twas well he didn't die.
CrOuched by the roadside, how he watched the
way,
Al And shifted the travellers as they passed him by
~ Hail. rain, or sunshine, sure twas all the
same.
He listened for the foot that never came
Tell him the house is 1onesome-like and cold,
The fire itself seems robbed of half its light;
But may be It's my eyes are growing old,
And things look dim before my failing sight.
For all that, tell him twas myself that spun
The shirts you bring, and stitched them every
one.
Give him my blessing; morning, noon, and night,
Tell him my prayers are offered for his good,
That he may keep his Maker still in sight,
And firmly stand his brave father stood
True to his name, his country, and his God,
Faithful to home, and steadfast still abroad.

New YORK papers are sounding notes
OF alarm over the threatened diversion of
commerce from that city. The immediate
occasion of this is the opening OF the
Hoosac tunnel, now near at hand, an event
of the first importance in engineering and
railroad affairs, and which will take rank
as such among the great successes of the
century; nor is it impossible that it may,
as is feared, really mark the beginning of
a DETECTION of those currents of trade
which have hitherto made New York the
shipping focus of the continent.

When a Danbury woman puts
three macl e.el to soak every night
in dish pan whose sides are eight
inches high and leaves the pan on a
stairway, she has accomplished her
mission and should go hence. This
is what Division street woman did
Friday night. Filled the pan at the
pump and then left it standing on
the step to the stoop, while she went
into the next house to see how
many buttons would be required to
60 down the front of redingot.
And mighty important affair that
was. to be sure. And there was
her husband tearing through the
house in search of a handkerchief
and not finding it of course. And
then he rushed out into the yard,
wondering where on earth that wo-
man could be, and started down tie
steps without seeing the pan, or
even dreaming that any one could
be so idiotic as to leave it there.
OF course he stepped on it or, at
least, that is the supposition, as the
neighbors who were brought out by
the crash that followed saw a horri-
fed man, and a high dish pan, and
three very demoralized mackerel
shooting across the garden and
smashing down the shrubbery. And
he was nice sight, that unhappy
man, when they got him on his feet.
There wasn't dry thread on him,
and his hair was full of bits of mack
erel, and one of his shoulders was
ont Of joint, and his coat was split
the whole length of his back, and he
appeared to be out of his head. He
was carried in the house by some
of the men and laid on the bed, while
others went after the doctor, and
16 women assembled in the front
room, and talked in whispers about
the inscrutable ways ofProvidence,
and what warning this was TO
people who never looked where they
were going.
