Rich Gold Discovery In Australia.
From thc Me!bourns Argus.

From thc Ae!bourns Argus.
The most important discovery ever made
in c'un'ction with gold mining in this
colony, with the exception Of the original
discovery Of gold in 1851, occurred here
on the 1lth OF September. 1t is the find.
ing in the shaft Of the Magda]a company.
at Pleasant Creek-or, as it is row called
Stswell-~of g"ld.bearing quartz rcecf at
the unprecedented depth Of 1851 feet, or
about 700 feet further into the interior of
the ar h than gold has ever vet been OBJ.
taiucd in Victoria. The manag. rs Of the
company, since they struck the reef, have
gone on sinking SO as to ascertain the
thickness Of it in their claim, and they
have passed ten feet Of it without as yet
having gone through it. Some specimens
Of the stone have been sen: to the school
Of mines at Ballarat. These specimens
weighing altogether 10E pounds, were
treated by two different processes, the &C.
suit being at the rate Of 10 pvt, II gr per
ton Of stone by one process, anu ii pvt.
Is gr. by the o:htr. -Four other results
which were obtained showed a much r,ca:.
er quality Of stone, but as the stone tcstets.
in those cases were taken from a higher
portion IF the lode, and above the n.ul.
lock base, i. is thought probable that the
upper and lower portions OF the lode may
be much richer than the centre.
The directors have decided to break of
4 good sized block Of the stone and send
it. to the philadelphia exhibition, with y
sectional drawing Of the shaft and the dit:-
fercnt strata passed through.

BE11A1RE LocA1s.-Beyond a doubt

doubts Of II last week. When we saw the
public square full Of boys, and the air
above full Of balls, and when We saw
half Of the gamins Of Bellaire In their
bare feet, we began to lose our doubts.
On Monday evening Gravel Hill young
lady gave a croquet party, and our
doubts grew still less. Yesterday some
half dozen OF the young men OF our city
shouldered their tackle and took up the
line Of march out MacMahon's Creek, to
follow Izaak Walton's favorite pursuit
for day. So spring must have come
Bellaireans may play crOquet, or base
ball, or go in their bare feet in mid
winter, but It has to be spring in earnest

WHY?-A resolution ordering DR..
Wingerter, on Main street hill, to remove
two shade trees standing in front Of his
house to the outer edge Of the pavement,
was, we think, under the circumstances,
very properly laid on the table in the
First Branch Of Council Tuesday even.
ing. The resolution, il adopted, would
virtually have been IN order to cut the
trees down, as they are Of such size as
to render their successful transplantlnrg
doubtful experiment. We should be
sorry 10 say that personal considerations
instigated the introduction Of the resolu-
ton, and yet it is strange it should have
applied only to our friend the Doctor,
when it is we'll known that the trees in
front Of the Exchange Bank are
equally offensive in the eye Of the
law. The pavement having been
widened, the trees Of course do not
comply with the regulation standard, and
it may be that the city has power to order
their removal, but who doubts that it
would be a most ungracious exercise Of
authority TO so order? Who among our
citizens would call for the destruction Of
such beautiful trees-aias etoo scarce in
our city-because, forsoOih, under a new
order Of things they do not occupy the
precise location prescribed by the ordi-
nance?
We doubt is those trees could be re-
moved without considerable Of row.
Any attempt to do SO would almost be
regarded in the light Of personal insult
by half the citizens Of the town.
The Doctors trees are not so fine, TO be
sure, but they are very nice shade trees,
and there can certainly be no reasonable
excuse for the resolution. We are glad
that the First Branch so summarily
disposed OF It.

the store OF Hubbard & Co., on Water

were bored with All auger above and be-

thieves evidently intending to cut out the
lock with chisel. Failing in this, they
next turned their attention to the shut
tiers in the rear, which bear marks OF being
tempered with. They were again unsuc-
cesslul and abandoned the job. The store
Of Frank Unruh next attracted their at.
tention, but they were there frightened
from their work before making much Of
an impression. The augcr was found
near Mr.. Unruh's store, and is now in his
