WILD COFFEE. - 1t seems that DR.. Gibbons
has given his opinion regarding the production
which is becoming well-known as wild coffee,
That opinion is to the effect that it is not coffee;
but rather, aspecie of the Hawthorn, and that it
is not poison, but is powerful cathartic. This
opinion has, we notice, been copied by the press
extensively but evidently by those ignorant OF
the subject, for there is nothing more certain
than, if DR.. Gibbons ever advanced any such
ideas, that Dr. Gibbons knows nothing about it.
One classification of plants Is based on the shape
and character of the seed and as there is no more
resemblance between these coffee kernels and
the seed of the Hawthorn, than there is between
DIR. Gibbons head and leg Of mutton; it would
be equally as ridiculous to call this coffee Haw-
thorn, as it would be to call DR.. Gibbons NUT
ton-head, and We know he would regard such
classification out Of place. 1t is not poison
In that he is right. 1t is a powerful cathartic
In that he is wrong. We have dried it, parched
it, and prepared it, as we would prepare coffee
for use, and drank of it freely, and it has had no
different effect on us than any other coffee. We
have given it to;others to drink who were ignorant
of what it was, and on asking them if they knew
what they were drinking, would, with some sur
prise at our question, respond, . why. coffee
Whether you call it cSfee, Or call it something
else. it answers the purpcSe very well, and "a
rose is Just as sweet by another name"

GOLD RUN ITEMS.

EprroR HERALD.-Not having seen anything
in your paper from Gold Run fof sum time, 1
suppose the people Of Placer county think this
burgh don't amount to much, but if any one is
of that opinion, allow me to undeceive them.
This is, undoubtedly, one Of the richest mining
districts in the State. The old Cedar Shaft, over
which there has been so much labor and capital
expended, has, at last, teen put down to the
bedrock; the result is, six dollars to the pan,
and ground enough to last twenty years. The
gravel deposit being about three-quarters of a
mile wide, by four miles long, with an average
depth Of two hundred feet.
The water has "gn OUT at this place for the
season, and all the claims have shut down in
consequence. This season has been good one
for claim owners. most Of whom have reaped q
good harvest, as the supply Of water "held-out'
longer than usual
In o few days there will be another branch
tunnel (from the big on) which is intended to
tap the Cedar ground some sixty feet below the
bottom of the shaft; when that is accomplished
then look out for lively times in Gold Run and
London.
Last Sabbath evening, John Muusey, an
old resident of Forest Hill and Yankee Jims, was

given in this book, it Ii represented
that, after having labored six days the
Creator became so fatigucd that he had
to rest and refresh himself on the
