TRANSFORMING THE COMPLEXION. :
The transformations produced by HAGANs
MAGNOLIA BALM are quite as astonishing
as any scene on the stage of theatre.
That famous beautifer transmutes a sal
low, peeky looking complexion, into one in
which the lilly and the rose vie for admira-
ton, and imparts to dry. harsh skin, the
softness of perfect lOveliness. Tan and
freckles, which country air and sunlight
are pretty sure to produce, in spite Of par
asols and sundowns, are completely oblit-
Grated by it while it has perfectly mag
ical effect in banishing undue redness,
blotches, and pimples from the skin
When the lady who has used it to remedy
her complexional defects looks in the mir
ror, she is equally astounded and gratifed
at the Improvements in her appearance
Every blemish has disappeared ; her neck,
arms and bosom, now rival in whiteness
the snowy collar which encircles her throat,
her cheek mantles with peach like bloom,
and she is ready TO invoke a blessing on
the inventor of the article which has
wrought such delightful transformation.

From the Record Of November 1871
The Washington s. Creole. since our
last report, has made what we consld-
or some very important developments.
Three wines have been sunk on the
ledge, 200 feet apart. to a depth Of 100
feet. In each Of which Is found ore as
saying. as per assay certificates OF 10
assays which we have inspected. $3.50
Der ton In gold and silver, the percent
age In gold being unusually high, and
one certiflcatesh0wing l,054.0 3 In gold
Der ton An additional force OF !0O
men has been recently engaged. and as
soon as room can be made stopping and
drifting from the bottom Of the wines
will be commenced. The wines viii
be connected by drifts from the bot.
tom. aud new WINES will be started
to further test the value OF this deposit.
The milling of this ore will be COM
menced on or about the 23d OF tins
month. They are now hosting from
Is to 20 tons Of ore per day, aud when
the mine Is fully opened much more
will be extracted. The Superintend.
ent confidently believes that before the
end Of the present month other ana
equally valuable deposits will be
found.
The Raymond s. Ely at present are
working but IS men on q shift; having
been obliged to discharge y number OF
men on account Of a break In tho ma
chinery, which will be repaired by to-
morrow (Mondayh and the usual force
Of men will be put to work. This
company Is extracting from 90 to 70
tons Of ore per day, and still sinking
for the 1000 foot level, and are within
10 feet Of 1t.
In the Chief of tho Hill = progress
Of II feet has been made Ia a DRIFT
from the 2l0.foot level; also on n drift
on the 36O.foot level a progress Of eight
feet has been made in the drift from
the Burke tunnel level. Working a
force Of about 20 men, all prospecting.
No change to note since our last.
Mr.. Nelson informs us that work on
the new building at the Phoebe is being
pushed forward rapidly. and as soon
as 1t Is completed they will commence
sinking the main shaft. They are still
working Ia the old shaft and taking
out some ore. They are erecting a
within over the old shaft.
In the Alps the drift runs south at
the 300-foot level aud Is progressing
favorably.
No change In the Meadow Valley

FRAUD,

Goodman, the new candidate for
Senatorial honors in this State, having
changed his a~vocation from that OF
Chief Organ Grinder for another, to be-
come . Trumpeter in his o,en behalf,
has much to say about the fraud and
corruption Of the party, which to
avoid expstriatioa he has left, to Its
great benefit. This ambitious time
r had largely to do with the Re
publican primaries and with the man.
agement Of the Republican party In
this locality last Autumn. IL Is charg-
ed. aud boldly, that q corrupt
and lavish use of money was never
made In this State, II indeed in the
Union, than under the management OF
this new fledged reformer at our last
election. It IL urged, and seriously.
that an investigation Of the frauds, the
unexampled corruption In the alleged
purchase of whole battalions Of men at
the polls 10 Gold Hill, Virginia, Car
son and elsewhere, will be In order
during the coming Winter. From our
personal knowledge 1t lily becomes
the editor OF the Territorial Enterprise
to canvass" the fraud question. IL
there was any deviation from the
course Of an honorable contest at the
polls last Autumn, II there was, IS Is
alleged, not less than $500, 900 Of cor
ruptlon money expended by the con-
trolling element Of the Republican
party. many inqulring people would
be pleased to know under whose man.
agement the disbursement was made,
II not under that OF this newly born
reformer and self constituted cham
pion Of labor.

THERE Is a good deal Of truth In the
frank and philosophical way In which
the Albany Express (Rep.) looks at the
result Of the election In Its county. 1t
says 1t Is surprised that the Democrats
carried 1t, and thus explains how 1t
was done: because, In the first
place, some fifteen hundred Repub-
licans stayed away from the polls on
Tuesday, and, In the second placs, be-
cause two or three hundred Of them
went to the polls and voted the Demo
cratic ticket" The same explanation
might be applied with equal truth to
the surprising result In other locali-
ties.

THE VALUE or TIME

When the Roman Emperor sad, -

truth than if he had exclaimed, 81 have
lost Il kingdom" Napoleon said that
the reason why he beat the Austrians
was that they did not know the value OF
five minutes. At the celebrated battle
Of Riyoli, the conflict seemed ON the
point Of being decided against him. He
saw the critical state Of affairs, and IN
stantly took his resolution, lie DIS
patched Il flag to the Austrian head
quarters with proposals form armlstice'
The mwmy Austrian soldiers fell INTO
Il snare. For Il few minutes the thun-
dors Of battle were hushcd. Napoleon
seized the precious moments, and, while
amusing the enemy with negotiations,
arranged his line Of BATTLE, changed
his front, and in Il few minutes was
ready 10 renounco the farce of discus
sion for the stern arbitrament Of arms.
The splendid victory of Riyoli was the
result. The great moral victories and
defeats of the world often turn on five
minutes. Men %loitcr, time flies, and all
the great interests of life are speeding
on with the sure and silent tread of

In the first place, do not plant III mt-
tumn ON heavy, wet, undraiued soils.
We might say with propricty, do not
plout on such soils at any time, but we
say oHphatically, do not in autumn.
On mellow loan either naturally or ar
titicialIy drained, there is some GAIN in
planting hardy trees md plants in the
fall. The roots start to grow earlier in
the spring and attain that growth which
will enable them to withstand the
drouths which are pretty certain TO pre-
vail, in this climate, in summer.
If the planter can exercise any control
Over the digging OF the trees, it will pay
to take considerable pains in digging,
so rs to preserve rs many Of the roots
intact rs possible. Commence digging
some little distance from the tree, dig
down under the roots, swaying the
tree, gently to see when it is loose, and
then lift it with care, and shake tho dirt
from the roots.
After the tree is dug, look over the
roots carefully, and if any largo sized
ones have been bruised with the spade,
cut them off smoothly, where the bark
is Houud, otherwise they will rot back.
IN setting give the roots ample room,
aud fill in among them with fine rich
dirt-but no crude manure If manure
ia requisite apply it on the surface, and
throw mp Il mound around the base Of
the tree to prevent its swnying too
much IN the wind.
After the tree is in its place cut back
the top somewhat in proportion TO the
loss of roots if The branches are 100
thick, tim ont u portion Of them, and
head back the remainder in such u way
as to leave II symmetrical head, for the
tree 10 begin with.
In planting canes, us Of raspberrics
and black berries, grape vines, currnnts,
&c, cut them down nearly to the sur
