F. NJ. PAoLI.-The sudden death of Capt.
Francis NJ. Paoli, the sergeant Of the corpora
ton, on Wednesday night last, caused quite a
shock 10 our community. MIR. Paoli was na-
tive of Corsica, aud settled in Charlottesville
10 1913, when be was young man. and 10 a
few years thereafter married here. BY his
kind, social and gentee manners, integrity and
attention to business, he soon won the coof-
dence and respect of our citizens, and he ever
identified his interests with those OF our peo-
pie. For many years he served as constable in
the county, and sergeant of the corporation of
Charlottesville. On the night of his death he
had been in attendance at the knights of Pyth-
las, then attending to some duty as chief Of po-
lice, he retired to his chamber, and soon after
wards arose, and going into the room of his
children, fell and expired in the midst Of his
family. His wife had preceded him to the
grave ten years since, and her mother, Mrs;
Sarah Jones, one of the kindcst hearted and
most charitable women of Firgrla has been
the guardian to her children up to this time,
and between her and her soDin-law there ever
has been the respect and love of mother and
son. Charlottesville Jefersonian.

A HARD CAsE.-Pending the trial Of John
G. Henry, on the charge Of erDbczzlcmeut aud
forgery, which was about being concluded in
Judge Rives court yesterday, We withheld the
publication Of the following, from the Floyd
Reporter which might probably have damaged
the interests of the accused. The Reporter,
published at Floyd Court House, says "Nlr.
Stephens, of Evansville, passed through town
on Wednesday afternoon on his way to I4yoch-
burg to answer an Indictment in the j. S.
Court, for retailing liquor without license. The
circumstances, as We learn FROM Major Woottcn
are as follows: Before Mr. Stephens commenc-
ed business, he sent post Office money order
to Col. Rivcs, at Lynchburg, requesting him to
send the necessary stamp; and, having for
warded the money, Mr.. S. commenced opera
tons at the time specified 10 his application.
The stamp was not received and he was indict-
ed. 1t now turns out that the order was re-
ceived and the mouey drawn by John c. Henry
the detauIting revenue clerk, who appropriate ed
the money to his own use aud did not send the
stamp This is hard case, but We feel salts
fed that no jury on earth would convict man
under these circumstances. "-LynchJwy Netcs.

WORSE THAN TAMMANY. Much has been
said about the extravaganza and corruption Of
the New York Tammany ring, but its cxccsses

The public debt of Philadelphia is to-day
not less than sixty million Of dollars, or only a

marshal returned statement that 40 properly

went against the >uretes Of the city. The New

but the court decided that it could not 90 be.

by the city has been given, and the case will be

the judgments by the sale of the property Of

The flashes of excitement produced by the
stmulants in ordinary use, are followed by a
reaction that is always more or less injurious.
Just as the darkness, illuminated for n moment
by the lightning's glare, becomes apparently
backer than ever after the fash is over, so the
mental gloom and physical debility that vanish
temporarily under the influence Of dram, re-
turn with a ten-fold intensity when the first
transient effect ceases. Yet physicians habit
ually prescribe the liquors of commerce for pa
tents suffering from bodily weakness and men
tai dependency. The true remedy in such
cases il pure stimulant medicated with the
finest tonics ard Alternatives which the vegetable
kingdom affords, and Hostetter's Stomach Bit
tiers IL the only preparation at present known
which thoroughly meets the emergency. The
effect OF this popular restorative is continuous
Each dose taken invigorates the vital energies
and the brain, and its prolonged use will un-
questonably cure any Of debility, hypo-
chondria. or mental torpidity that does not arise
from organic causes beyond the reach of medi-
cine II is, in the strictest sense of the word,
an invigorating and regulating cordial. If the
nerves are tremulous and relaxed, it braces
them; IL the bowels are constipated it relieves
them; il the liver is torpid, it promotes activity
in that organ; if the mind is gloomy, it clears
away the clouds; If the appetite is poor and di-
gestion a slow and painful operation, il creates
relish sor food and enables the stomach to con.
vert il into healihful aliment. Moreover, it is a
specific for large number of ailments, some Of
which are particularly prevalent in the damp
and chilly weather which we so often experience
in mid winter. Among these may be mentioned
rheumatism, chills and fever and all the morbid
conditions OF the digestive and secretive organs
superinduced by sudden changes Of tempera-
ture and the nclemences of the Season.

FOURTH OF JULY,-Last year preparations for
celebrating the Fourth of July were put off un-
til the latter part Of June, and then when par
ties were called ON for help, they got out Of it
by saying. "Oh, it's too late, you can't have
any celebration now; you ought to have COM
menced sooner" Some people will have an ex-
cuse, anyway, when asked to contribute dol
lar, but if the people of Auburn intend cele-
brating the coming Fourth, they should not let
them get out on the plea of too late. In some
parts advertisements for grand celebrations are
out already. Now is the time to begin to talk
about the celebration, and the last of next
month will be the time to call meeting to
make preparations.

COPPER. Grass Valley Union saws:

SorFHh.-A ue Oilss valley Un0n says:
The San Francisco Copper Mining Company,
location OF works near Spenceville in this coun.
ty, shipped yesterday to San Francisco, three
tons OF copper mat. This copper mine is bound
to prove great success under the intelligent
and energetic management of Mr.. G.. F. Deet-
kin. The lead is "A feet wide, and contains
about 8 per cent. of copper. The Company
viii soon incorporate, and will soon also put up
a larger furnace than is now used"
We are glad to hear that the Spenceville lode
is being worked successfully. We visited this
mine several times when il was first being OPEN
ed some seven or eight years ago, and since
then, when We have called to mind how rich
the ore looked, we have wondered why it did
not pay. The success of this mine bespeaks
success for the whole country, for this is only
one of thousands of good copper mines all
along the foothills, from Smnrtsville to Cop
peropohs. Good copper smelling works in this
region will create an epoch in the history of
California, almost equal to that caused by the
gold discovery.

HoN. De. p. Boss writes us letter from Gold
Run, some parts of which are good and some
parts are not. We would like the Hon. Mr..
Boss to keep up his correspondence, but he
must use less words in proportio 10 the amount
of news. He tells us in substance that Plum
mer gave them very enjoyable entertainment;
that Mrs. Young was there and had her temper
ance lecture with her, but it did not amount to
much. He says the Good Templars are run
ming things pretty high there now, 40 much SO
as to create hard feelings amongst the people,
which we are sorry to hear. He thinks Good
Templars are good society, but he thinks it is
wrong for man who has been low and mean
all his life nearly to assail good and peaceable
citizens because he JOINS the Temperance band
and they do not. We think ourself that is not
exactly right if anybody did so. Finally he
says We once referred to him as a Republican,
which made him mad. We are sorry we did 80,
but so we had been led to believe. We assure
our friend that it affords us great pleasure to re-
tract and say he is not Republican, and as he

WE understand lot OF the young men Of
Auburn were out on a serenading expedition
last Wednesday evening. 1t is reported that
they went to the home of certain young lady,
and as they gathered near the garden gate, pre-
paratory to singing, they spied what they sup
posed was the fair damsel herself, step out and
take seat in dark shady place on the veian-
dab. This inspired the songsters with renewed
energy, and the pathos of their lovely and en-
chanting melodies was enough, it is said to
soften the heart of old Adamant. They sang
at least hour beneath that shady bower
And when, at last, they turned to go away,
each, no doubt, elated with the thought that
he had captivated the fair one by the thrilling
strains of his own sweet voice over the voices of
all the others, what could have been their as
tonishment and dismay to have the old lady
emerge from her shady nook, with "wel done
boys, come again sometime when the girls are
home.'

NATIVE CorrEE.-The grand topic Of the day
is the wild coffee OF California. The subject
has been started by some foot-hill newspaper,
and in turn, taken up by nearly every journal
in the State, until, like all travelling items il has
become so tinted and enlarged as TO impress the
average reader with the idea that the wild coffee

And indeed, living among it as we do we can
say, that even the most fattering description
we have seen, but slightly abuses the truth,
only in one respect, and that is in pronouncing
the production genuine article; and even in
that we cannot say they are wrong. But II does
seem if this wild coffee is valuable article of
commerce. our stupidity in not finding II out
sooner is hardly excusable. We only hope II
may be proven true indeed. What has been
said of it's abundance and hardy growth is, IL
anything, moro than true. The whole foot-hill
region of Placer county land we suppose 4 10
the same all along the whole slope), is covered
with it. Even on the rocky and dry ridges ito
growth seems as rugged as in the more favored
localities. and the yield Of berries we have
noticed on these bushes, in the Fall, seems TO
be immense. Since our attention has been d.
rected to the subject We have examined both
bush and berry more closely, and have come TO
the conclusion that the subject il one worth

SUNpAY.-The law of this State prohibits,
under penalty, the transaction of business on
Sunday. Something over year ago, there was
a move made in Auburn to have the law enforced.
This was averted by the wiser idea, of first pc.
titioning each man in business to close his es.
tablishment on Sunday. To the credit of those
men, be it said, all, except saloon-keepers
signed but three. OF those three, one was
fined for the first offense, which made him an
observer of the Sunday Law ever SINCE another
closed out shortly after and went East, and the
third became ashamed Of himself and began to
do as others did The change, while it has
probably not injured any mans business to the
amount OF nickel, has had good effect on the
health OF the merchants, and the quiet of the
town. In every case, except two. both the mer-
chants and the people are pleased with the ar
rangement. These two solitary individuals being
descendants of Israel, imagine they are losing
money every hour their doors are closed. But,
like good citizens have, thus far, abided by the
popular will; though the true friends to the
move have, all along, entertained a fear
that they would fall from grace at the first op-
ro'J' Ah"e oPPoi'uhity, We uhueiSutHu,

certain individual is about to begin the dry
goods business, and, we understand he has de-
cared his intention to sell on Sunday II he
does, Others will, and when two or three open
their stores to Sunday trade all will be compelled
to do the same, or suffer loss. Now, it does
seem to us that six days in seven are enough
for any man to do business. All need, oeca-
sonally, respite from labor, and If the merchant
does not get it Sundays, he will not get it at all
Besides, it is due to the credit of our town that
all business should be suspended on the Sab
bath. And while we wish every fair dealing
man success we think the people would be do
ing commendable act to withdraw their patron
age from any man who would attempt to break
into the present commendable arrangement of
our merchants. We understand if this indvid-
ual does persist in keeping open on Sunday, he
will be punished to the full extent Of the law.
But is it not better to quietly submit to popular
movemant than make enemies by going to
law? We think SO, and would advise 80, and
hope that the gentleman who threatens to sell
dry-goods on Sunday will reconsider, and thus
save the community from disturbance, aud him.
