"Then that is the very first thing 10
be done. Come, order our horses. We
will ride over directly | will call on
Mss BARLEY, and you on Mister. Now
mind, you must ignore all that has pass
ed, and just ask permission to court his
daughter. Whilst you are cl0seted with
him, the young lady and l will learn
each others mind with celebrity you
poor slow things have no idea Of"
Il see one thing said Walter, that
am child in such matters compared
with you. What decision! what promp-
titude"
"Then initiate it, young man. Order
the horses directly;" and she stamped
her foot impatiently.
Walter turned to the stables without
another word, and Julia flew upstairs
to put on her riding-habit.
BARLEY was in his study with a map
of the farm before him, and two re-
spectacle but rather rough men in close
conference over it. These were practical
men from the county Of Durham, whom
he had ferreted out by means of an
agent; men who knew a great deal about
coal. They had already surveyed the
farm, and confirmed Hopes opinion
that coal lay below the surface of GER
tain barren fields, and the question now
was as to the exact spot where it would
be advisable to sink the first shaft.
BARLEY was heart and soul in this,
and elevated by love of gain far above
such puny considerations as the happi-
ness of Mary BARLEY and her lover.
She, poor girl, sat fOrlorn in her little
urawing-rOOm, and tried to draw bit,
and tried to read bit, and tried to rec
oncile a new German symphony to her
cars Us well as to her Judgment, which
told her it was too learned not to be
harmonious, though it sounded very dis
cordant. But all these efforts ended in
a sigh Of dependency. and in broOding
on innocent delights forbidden, and q
prospect which, to her youth and mex
perience, seemed Il wilderness robbed
of the sun.
Whilst she sat thus pensive and sad
there came a sudden rush and clatter of
hoOfs, and Miss Clifford and Walter
Clifford refined up their horses under
the very window.
Mary started up delighted at the bare
sight of Walter, but amazed and puZ-
Zled. The next moment her quick in
telligence told her this was some daring
man9uvre or other, and her heart beat
high.
Walter opened the door and stood be.
side it, affecting cold ceremony.
Miss BARLEY, have brought Miss
Clifford to call on you at her request.
My own visit is to your father. Where

The next time Walter Clifford met
Mary BARLEY he was gloomy at inter-
walls. The Observant girl saw he had
something on his mind. She taxed him
with it, and asked him tenderly what it
was.
"Oh, nothing" said he.
Don't tell mel" said she. Mind,
nothing escapes my eye. Come, tell me,
or we are not friends"

"Well, then, I love another girl. AS

"Ah, Mary, you are too clever for me;

The west bound emigrant train of last
 Sunday noon, met with an accident at
 Hacna, thirty-nine miles from this place,
 that came very near being @ serious affair. It happened something in this way: A passenger in gesticulating put his hand out at the end of one of the cars, which one of the brakeman mistook to be that of the Conductor signaling to stop the train. The brakeman in turn rushed forward and signaled the engineer. who immediately applied the air brakes. The train was brought so suddenly to hault that several of the hat-cars piled on top each other, and the passengers in the emigrant cars thrown about pell-mell After quiet was restored, from the conse- quent confusion, it was ascertained that several of the ladies received cuts about the face and body, and that one man was very seriously injured, having had sev- eral of his ribs fractured and th at he was otherwise bruised. The other passengers escaped with but few scratches. The man was compelled to remain here for few lays before his physician permitted him to go on to his place of in California.

Two drunken Mexicans, Luis Garcia and Lorenzo Molina, had difficulty la st Sunday night, about II o'clock, in front of the Colorado Lodging House. Moli- na fired four shots at his antagonist, but being two drunk to do accurate shooting, only one of the four shots took effect, passing through the upper part of Gar cia's hat. Garcia made to his heels and soon was out of harms way. Subse- quently, during the night, they met in a saloon, where they had q fsticuff, and being separated finally concluded to drink down their grievances with glass of mescal, which they did with gusto peculiar to that race of people.

Large mum bers of genuine bronze cur lew frequent the marshes along the Colo rado river. It is an aquatic bird of the genus numerious, and is of the same fam fly with the woodcock and sandplper. The largest of the species spread more than three feet of wing. They are often brought into town by Indian sportsmen and make splendid eating. This species of the curlew is a rara avis in California and commands g good price in the San Francisco market.
