OUR TRANSFERS AS swEARERs.


The following reminiscence of early
darby day Washoe. teamsters is given by
Dan De Quille, no%socalizer of the Gold
Hill News:
Some of our Washoe teamsters are
most ingenious and elaborate swearers,
particularly the 'mule.punchers. Some
Of the "bull- whackers' in early days had
invented multiplicity of strange oaths
by the time they had driven across the
Plains, but they would be thrown into
the shade by the modern ''mule-punch-
er" of average education. They have
mild and soothing oaths to swear when
all is going well; others, of an exhilarat-
ing and exciting nature to use where
there is little pulling to be done by the
team but when it comes to dead stick
in the mud or deep rut, all the re-
and the very mir turns blue, the poor
mules shiver in their skins, and their
hair is turned the wrong way. Oath is
heaped on oath, tackled upon oath and
slid in between oaths in manner which
renders the medley quite incomprehensi-
bic to any but the mules and the drivers
themselves. The mules are so well versed
in profanity that they very we'll know
the difference between common friend
ly and encouraging oath and one which
Immediately proceeds a fur-cutting and
laying scene, and govern themselves .ac-
cordingly. A mules knowledge of the
English Language is principally confined
to such words as are not to be inflicted
upon ears polite. In this they are some-
what like the Piutes, who always man
age to pick up the bad words first. We
we'll remember brave coming to our
camp fire in the hills beyond the Sink OF
the Carson in 1860. who was very proud
of his knowledge of the English Ian
guage. Squatting down by the fire he
of our party, and nodding his head in
what was intended to be a friendly and
conciliatory manner, said "D-n the
muskseters!' This he repeated several
times during the evening with evident
pride, slapplng his hands about his head
and face with great vigor and activity.
As there was not u musquito within ten
miles of the camp. we hardly knew what
to make of the fellow at first. 1t seems
that he had been visiting a camp of emil
grants on Humboldt river, and having
heard this sentence more frequently
than any other, had treasured it in his
memory and brought it away as evidence
of his capacity as linguist. Not an
other word of English could he speak.
On the same trip when about to enter an
Indian village, a little breech- -clouted red
skin came out to meet us and picking up
q stick he essayed to drive our pack
donkey into camp. "Whoa, haw, Cd
d-n you?' he cried, and this was the
extent of his English, but we must say
his pronunciation was strikingly and
fearfully distinct. Could that boy have
had the advantage of few lessons under
some of our teamsters, he would long
ago have been ono of the experts and
would have been able to carry on an in
telligent conversation with any mule in
the land. 4s 4.#..F "D Hr' .. l.f

An Old Established Firm.

The firm of s. M. Pettengil & Co., com
menced their Advertising Agency in the
old Journal building, No. 10 State street.
Boston, nearly quarter of century ago
February. 1849), where their Agency is
still located, carrying on a large and sue
cessful business. They established a branch
in New York City, May, 1862, which has
grown to be larger than the parent house
increasing steadily, year by year, until
now it has the agency ofnearly every news
paper in the United States and British
Provinces, and does a yearly business Of
hundreds of thousands of dollars. S. M
Pettengill & Co., have recently opened an
other branch office at 701 Chestnut Street
Philadelphia, where they are doing sue
cesful, increasing business. They have done
advertising exceeding ten millions dollars
The firm is favorably known not only
throughout this country, but in all parts
of the world. They have established a
reputation for honorable and fair dealing
which any firm might envy, and but few
attained to. We congratulate them upon
their success. We would recommend all
who want advertising done in any part Of
the country to call upon them. They car
point to hundreds of business men who
have followed their advice, and trusted tc
their sagacity, and avail themselves Of
their facilities, who haveamade fortunes
for themselves, and they are daily assist
ing others in the same path.-Boston Jour-

/: confession of 1Iollohan.


The confession of the wretched criminal,
J. R. Hollohan, lately convicted and now
under sentence Of death for the murder of
Mrs. Lampley, says the american, furnishes
a sad demonstration of the degree of tur-
pitude of which the human heart is capa-
BILE. He states that Nicholson deliberate
ly proposed the murder of Mrs. Lampley
as necessary to the successful accomplish
ment of the robbery. That the PROPOSE
ton was discussed and rejected by him
Hollohanl, and then again renewed by
Nicholson, and that finally he consented.
When they two visited the house where
the poor old woman received them and
entertained them as friends, he, at signal
given by Nicholson, seized her by the
throat, whilst his base companion in crime
struck the poor creature violent blow I;
that they then laid her down on the floor,
and that he Hollohan) remained with the
murdered woman whilst Nicholson went
up stairs to obtain the money. He also
states that he had his pistol ready to take
care of John Lanpley or any one who
should intrude upon them. Hollohan ex-
culpates Tucker, but whilst freely confess
ing his own crime, with fendish satisfac-
ton says that he wants Nicholson to stand
on the same platform with himself

The Oyster Dredgers.

We copy the following article from the
Easton Journal of Saturday last. Many of
our readers are concerned in the Oyster
and Fishing interest, and the efficiency of
Capt. Timmons' Police is something of
which they are anxious to hear. The
Journal says:
The postponed oyster cases came up be-
fore Justice Haddayway at st. Michaels on
Friday last. The owners of three vessels
made their appearance and were tried and
acquitted. Capt. Timmons made the fol-
lowing return on the warrants issued. 81
have notified the parties charged in these
warrants, and believing have no power
to bring them by force, l hereby return the
warrants" The magistrate conceded with
Mr.. Mcclure, that the return ended legal
power under those warrants, and ordered
the cases struck from the docket. Thus
ends all the cases against dredgers for vio-
lating the laws of the State.
1t. is little singular that Capt. Timmons,
the States officer, should use the States
boat to bring to the trial the counsel for
the defence, and not make the slightest eff
fort to have the State represented at the
trial. He seems to have much greater con-
Germ protecting the dredgers than see
ing that Justice is done the State. fCapt
Timmons' view of the oyster law is correct,
the sooner the law is repealed and the oys-
ter police force disbanded, the better it
will be for the State. Repeal the law, pro-
hibit dredging in Gay waters, abolish the
police and save the State the expenses, or
enforce the law. The plea of Capt. Tim
&ha&I h. hac 4n IN
law and serve warrant is the most ridic
ulous that ever was gated-it is the
perfection of absurdity. The law was
made to prevent dredging except in deep
waters, and an armed force provided to en-
force the law, but now comes the COM
mander saying he has no power to arrest
any one, though every licensed tongman,
constable or sheriff has power and au-
thority to arrest
The whole law was made to give the
entire control ahd supreme power into the
hands of the commander of the force, and
because to make the law more effectual,
additional officers were created by the law
with power to arrest, the chief is thereby
deprived of all power! Here's richness
for you! Here's chief aoithout power,
while all his subordinates and nearly eve
ry body else, are clothed with abundant
power. Would such an absurd plea be
made for any other purpose than to pro-
tect the dredgers from the penalty of the
violation of the law? We learn that some
fifty warrants were issued to Capt. Tim
mons by one of the Magistrates last week,
and he refused to take them. He imagines,
we suppose, that he was placed in charge
of the force for ornament, and to draw 3d.,
500 year salary, and put his friends in
| position. AS he is neither useful nor Or

Farmers Clubs,

We are glad to see that our farmers are
directing their attention to the formation
ofFarmers' Clubs in the different districts,
looking, we believe, to central organiza-
ton for the county. It is an effort in the
right direction andiif persevered in must
necessarily result in useful and beneficial
measures. The interests ofthe whole COM
munity is involved in the success of agri-
cultural pursuits, and every one, no matter
who he is, or what profession he plies,
must, for his bread and raiment, look only
to the generous gifts of mother earth, and
this, too, as surely as that he shall some
day return to dust, and find resting place
upon her bosom. Activity and energy, of
course, are effective and necessary apph-
ances for successful farming enterprises,
but these alone do not bring the rich re-
ward which is labor's due. Concert of &C.
ton among farmers, free and frequent in
terchange ofopinions not only promote the
success of their industrial efforts and slim
ulate social cultivation also, but more es-
pecially is such an unity available as a
means for keeping pace with scientific pro-
gress, and introducing, to the relief of la
Dor, the mechanical improvements of the
day. In matters of purchasing fertilizers
and farming implements, in the proper
draining of lands, in the selection of seeds
and plants, as to their quality, cost and
adaptability to our soil and climate, an
intelligent expression of views as between
farmers is greatly to be desired because of
the reciprocal advantage it gives. The
great question of labor, too, is seriously
claiming attention. And, we believe, it
is only by means of thoroughly organized
clubs of active, energetic farmers, that it
can be satisfactorily regulated, and rela-
tions between employer and employee es-
tablished which will be acceptable equal
ly to both. We hope this waking up OF
our farmers will take practical and perma-
nent form and shape. IF they persevere
IN it success will inevitably reward their
efforts. We have no sympathy with any
man, or class of men, who, from, any. mo-
tive whatever, or even without motive,
thoughtlessly would avoid or impede these
hudable agricultural enterprises. We trust
sathere. are none such in the county, and
hope to hear soon of prosperous clubs in
every district as Eaz ''.:s 80.

The pure in heart are ever blest,
God the Father gives them rest,
Guarded by his sheltering love,
Numbered with His saints above.
Through the Saviour's blood alone
Heaven has claimed her for its own
Death is robbed of all it's gloom,
Dread no more surrounds the tomb.
We would fain have bid her stay
When other joys had passed away;
Father, Thou ever knowest best,
Thou hast given her spirit rest.
She died e'er she had tasted here
One thought of woe, one earthly care;
She liveth in her Fathers home,
Where woe nor care can never come.
Father, by them Thou hast bereaved,
May Thy sweet comfort be received;
Blest to them Thy Christening be-
Let it draw them nearer Thee.
And when Thou shalt call them home,
May they meet beyond the tomb,
Help them to bear their sorrow here
That they may have pure joys there.

1t is noticeable fact, that for the two
