ing Springs Mill. California, to ac-
 cpt this position NIT. Shcrburne will arrive here in few days. With the incredsed capacity and the ad- ditioual facilities for handling the ore the success of the company is assured During the short time the Golden Star Company ran their mill : It was demonstrated beyond any question of doubt the mine would pay and pay well. The stoppage of the mill was owing entirely to out side cauSes, principal of which was litigation in San Francisco for con trol of the stock, in which the late B. ". Reagan was prominent actor. We congratulate the Gold Hill Con- solidated Company in acquiring this valuable property and predict for them the greatest success.

LINING AS AN INVESTMENT

It is only few years since mi : ing has come to be regarded as a I investment at all. Until recently
 it was regarded as mere venture. There was thought to be no sta bility about it, sufficient to call it by the name of business, and there
 was no wonder at this opin ion
 When our gold regions were dis covered our people knew nothing of the sciscce of mincralogy, less of chemistry as applied to the extrac- ton of metals from tue ore. and, if possible, still less of the practical
 working of a mine when once dis covered. Indeed, the men who rushed from every quarter of the globe to California, in lS4e, and Colorado. in 1859, arcely knew q mine from a farmhouse well, when ono was shown to them, and they scarcely could tell the difference between piece of gold or silver ore and q brick-bat. We had is oH ko ioa~,, os o zo;o-oa o,,.1 o. -.. art, and the wonder is we have learned it so rapidly as we have We have much to lrarn yet, doubt less, but we really have made rapid strides nevertheless. It has been a laborious and expensive tuition, but Americans are apt learners. The school has been a severe one. The old adage that experience is dear school, but fools will learn in TO other" has been remarkably cxemplified in the thirty years of American mining history. At last mining has set tied down almost to the basis of science. The time has come when d man can be certain of 90 per cent of the assay value of his ore. He can now dispose of it where re- duction works are in operation just as the farmer sells his wheat-ac- cording to the quality. The result is that capital is now seeking in- vesimeDt in mines as never before. Mining has taken its place by the side of recognized industrial pur- suits, and is no longer regarded with the uncei tainty of atmospheric cur rents or storms. Men are discover ing that when judiciously and in telligently pursued, it is not only as safe as any other industry, but that it really brings larger returns than any other inves tmcnt, and the time is not far distant when many mines in Arizona. now idle, will be made, under the magic touch of capital, great wealth producing properties and many now undiscovered will be added to the list of those now known.

FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT

Eds. Tsl:-We have no one yet, that We
may call our nominee for Real Estate ASS
essor for 1880. Not few favor the idea oil
submitting two names, for the purpose Of
getting out more voters to the polls.
We are expecting a regular Waterloo over
the Democracy. You have no doubt seen
something of the efforts making by the
Democracy to injure the character of Hick-
enloOper for bravery and gallantry upon
the field of Shiloh. You have no doubt
also seen something of the numerous let
tiers that have been coming from his old
companions in arms, in his defense.
Among these are certain Democrats who
could not stand this style of tactics. The
meanuess and falsity of the attack, will, it
is thought have a strong tendency to lead
not q few of such to vote the Republican
ticket.
Your excellent Pastor-Rev. Mr..
M'Gifert, gave US last Sabbath, a sermon
that no doubt left its impression upon the
memory of many of his hearers. BE was
here to fill the place of Mr.. Hickok, who
desiring to be with his family, occupied
Mr.. M'Giffert's desk.
Rev. Edmonds of the NJ. E. Church,
entered upon another year last Sabbath,
a fact that is particularly agreeable to his
people, and the community.
As an evidence of the prosperity of
Landlord Eastman, it may be mentioned
that his hack appears in new coat of
paint. Mr.. A. C. Peck, We conclude flour
ished the brlstles.
We also notice that Henry Eastman,
son of the landlord, has taken possession
of his new place, and converted the office
connected with it, into a meat market.
This was former property of DIR. Wallace.
Who knows but that the Doctors work
may be put to valuable test, upon the
steaks and rOasts that shall go out there
from.
The Miller & Porter wagon is now in
charge of Henry Barton, who is equal to
the duties required Of him.
Thompson & Richmond are busy in con-
verting sheep skins into wool and leather.
The sweating process for aiding in the re-
moval Of the wool, has been much facili-
tated by the late warm weather, and bust
ness. therefore, became pretty lively.
This firm expect to handle, on an average,
some 5000 month, The wool, after dry
ing sufficiently, is shipped with the tanned
skins to Boston, where the latter is made
into morocco. They now have on hand
some 1000 pounds of wool. Dnring the
warmest of the weather they handle con-
siderable fleece wool. With their three or
four assistants. they are putting forth the
appliances of success.
The bare mention of bathing, until with
in the last few days, would raise goose

to enjoy the luxury of a bath.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.
James X. StebbIns Attempts TO take
His own EIfe-Re Fires Two shot AT
His Head-Fears that they may
nroFe Eafai.

Our citizens were shocked yesterday
morning on learning that James X. Steb-
bins had made an attempt to take his own
life. The facts 50 far as can be learned
are as follows: Mr.. StebbinS has been
boarding during The past summer with
Captain Daniel Mitchell, on Prospect street.
Yesterday morning about $50 O'Clock, af-
ter the family were m, Mr.. Amos Selby,
brother-ln-Iaw Of Mr.. Stebbins, who Was
sleeping in another bed in the same room
with him, heard the report Of "a pistol but
supposed it to be some one out of doors, or
a stone thrown against the house. This
report WAS quickly followed by a second,
which reused him from his slumbers, and
he found Mr.. Stebbins lying on the other
bed in pool of blood. The alarm Was
Immediately given and medical aid sum
mOned in the person of DR.. J. c. Hubbard.
One shot, probably the first, was aimed at
the back Of the head on the right side, did
not pierce the skull, but glanced of, cut
ting the scalp. The bullet from the other
shot was aimed at the left side and entered
the head back of the left ear.
Mr.. Stebbins remained in an unconscious
condition for two hours, when he asked
what was the matter. He was told that he
had shot himself, and when asked if he
remembered anything about it he said he
did not. The cause of his assault upon his
own life is not known. For several weeks
past be has been sick with a low type of
fever and it is supposed to have affected
his mind. During the summer he spent
much of his time in experimenting the
building of a residence for himself on Pros
pect street, the outside work upon which
is now about completed. During his sick
ness but little work has been done on the
house.
Mrs. Stebbins was visiting at her faith
er's home i'll Williamson, Wayne Co. n.
Y. at the time of this unfortunate occur
rance, with her two children, a son Of three
years and a daughter of FIVE.
Yesterday afternoon Mr.. Stebbins was in
about the same condition as earlier in The
day, conversing with his friends and com
planning but little if any pain from his
wounds The location of the bullet is not,
at this writing, known, and so long as his
condition is no worse the wound will prob
ably not be probed. The pistol used was
a Smith & Wesson, seven shooter, of %
caliber.

MCNUTT REUNION. Cd opened with
a cloudy sky, and for some time the day
lookedIunpromising, but by nine o'clock the
clouds had disappeared and the sun shone
out warm and bright. By noon COM
pany of fifty-two had gathered at Mr..
John McNutt's in Saybrook from Ashta-
bula, Jefferson, Eagleville, Plymouth and
Lenox, to celebrate their forty-eight ami
Yersary of married life. The old people
seemed to enjoy themselves to the fullest
extent and looked about as young as they
did ten years ago.
At half past two the tables were ready,
and bounteous dinner placed before the
guests. A table cloth was brought into
use which was made by the bride, Mrs.
Lucy McNutt, fifty years ago, or two years
before her marriage marked with her maid
on name-Lucy Ann Tinker.
Before evening the little company began
to separate for their severul homes, land the
old folks again took leave of seven of their
children, only two being absent.
All went home feeling that the day had
been well spent and hoping to meet again
next year at the home of Mr.. Chester Nc
Mutt in Ashtabua. H,M,

Soon after o'clock on Friday morn
ing, after the passage of the aecommoda-
tion and freight trains, a fire appeared in
the barn of Mr.. George Seamens, owner of
the old Prindie place, North Bend, which
quickly consumed both it and its contents.
The barn was filled with hay and straw,
and in addition a quantity of farming i'm
plements such as harruws, cultivators,
plows, &C., &c. Though there is no evi-
dence that the fire was communicated by
the trains such is the presumption, as Mr..
Seamens had been to the barn but little
while before and every thing appeared
right. The loss, what eyer it may be-no
estimate having yet been formed-is prob
ably covered by insurance, so far as the
building is concerned, as there was poll
cy covering that, in the sum of $500 in the
n. Y. Home.
