Accident. "A Hard Head.

AS Rafael Barrette was working
in a shaft in the VIM. Penn mine,
Castle Dome District, on the night
of the 18th instant, a lump ofmetal
weighing 20 pounds, fell a dis
lance of 80 feet, striking him
square on the head. The piece
of metal broke iato many pieces,
wounding the man badly, but
did not fracture the skull. He is
now doing well, and being one
of Sonora's frmest sons, will be
able in a few days to stand few
more of the same sort.

W. L. HOPKINS, Esq, one of
the most energetic, enterprising
and successful mine owners in
Castle Dome District, arrived in
town a few days since and is tax
ing little rest. Mr.. Hopkins
gives his mines his personal at
tentiou, and very seldom gets
away. We are glad to know that
his ore, which is very abundant,
grows richer in silver as he des-
cends in his deep shafts.

the 90 inst. with wagons, carrying
the Merino sheep and Berkshire
pigs and leading the Durh am
bull belonging to Gov. Stafford and

hope they will get safely through,

LOCAL LYRICS.
OUR Sc n E MAD e .

Our poetic machine has lain idle
for some time, got considerable
rusty and some screws loose, but
we have got it out, screwed it up
and oiled it a little, so we will
take few turns. Now, Tommy,
take the crank and start easy.
The sky with clouds was overcast,
The moon was shining brightly,
While now and then little star
Peeped out and glimmered slightly.
That's pretty good, Tommy.
Give her another turn.
Softly DER the sandy street,
The moon her beams is ring.
1t does not sound SO very sweet
To hear the people snoring like a lot
of bull-frogs as they lay all around their
houses
Stopi stopi Tom, that will new
er do. Give that corner screw
another turn. There:
And then we took our light guitar,
And waddled down the street,
To serenaoe our own sweet star,
Beneath the window sest.
That's good; keep her to it, Tom
my. Well get the agony up yet.
And then we tuned the cat-gut strings,
And poised our instrument,
Freighted with love and all good things.
These thrilling notes we sent

Refreshing are the breezes;
They blow my nose as sit here.

Oh cruel fair one, me to slight
Just look at my guitar,
My shirt is in an awful plight
What nice sweetheart you are
Before I'd serenade you more
I'd jump into the river

RETURNING TO THE ORIGINAL
CoLoR.-Last week, by way of
variety, we treated our readers
to beautiful brown paper. We had
intended to return to the original
white, this week, but rejecting
upon the injury that sometimes
results from too sudden transitions,
we concluded to let orr readers
down gradually, and as the con-
Meeting steamer has not arrived
yet with cur sIprIv of paper, we
have at great expense procured
this beautiful buf, or rich cream
coIored paper, which IS SO sooth-
ing to the eye. We hope our rea-
ders will duly appreciate our eff.
forts to please them.
