NORTHERN TRINITY MINEs.-Mr. A. A. Torhlin-
SOD, who has commenced trading on Yellow
Jacket creek, at the junction with the East Fork
of North Fork, gives US the following information
in regard to mines and mining in that section


Yellow Jacket Creek empties into the East Fork
about twelve miles above the North Fork of
Trinity. The bed of the creek affords good mi
ming when the water falls sufficiently to open
claims. Only about twenty-five men are at work
there now, on account OF high water in the stream.
Good diggngs are found in the bed and banks of
the creek, The average pay of men who will work
being from 81 to Sc per day. We are told Of
one company there, Parvin q Co., who are most
sober and perseverng men. They have been on
the creek four years, winter and summer, and
have met with The reward of persevefing indus
try They have the best claim there, which ave-
RACES them three ounces a day. Above them, on
the East Fork, Dushane x Co. are making good
wages creoietng, the water being too high to open
their claim yet. Paryin d Co. have taken pieces
from their claim, some weighing as high as SAC,
and on the East Fork pieces weighing as high as
500 dollars have been found. The mines IN that
section only need prospecting TO attract laborers

In one of bis late letters, Governor Wise. of
Virginia, makes some strong admissions against
the course of the democratic party on the slavery
question. He says:


We are strong on the moral ground of equality
We relinqushed that in attempting to assume
more than equality, and we lost all character for
justice. We were wise once in demanding no
more than our due, and we have been foolish since
and of late in trying to deprive others of their
due.

SELFISH WEALTH.-The punishments for not
using or for badly using wealth are decided
and unerring We pity the miser, or despise
him, or We do both. We do not respect him.
The man who boards has the respect of no man
while he lives, and the tears of zone when he
dies. There is in the universal human heart q
tribunal by which such man is justly judged.
On the other hand, the eompensations for the
right use Of wealth are marked and certain. A
man who lives lin the atmosphere of grateful
hearts, and takes genuine satisfaction in the
use of his power to make them happy, and min
listers to the prosperity of great human inter-
ests, is the only happy rich man the world ever
saw. All men bless him; all men love him
and when he dies the world feels that great
grief has befallen it.-SprngfeId Republican.

And he said it would be pleasant
As we journeyed down the creek,
To go hand in hand together,


But hardly think will.

And made SO long stay,

Never meant to go away;

And I know | hate him STILL

For he says il. refuse him


That he couldn't live a minute;

For we are taught we mustn't KILL
So I've thought the matter over,

DIDN'T WANT TO BE KISSED. "A Gu

sex Sessions, in England. Thomas
Saverland, the prosecutor, stated that
he was in the room where the defen-
dant, Caroline Newton, and her sister
who had come from Birmingham, were
present. The latter jokingly observed
that she had promised her sweetheart
that no man should kiss her while ab-
sent. 1t being holiday time, Saverlan
considered this as a challenge, aud
caught hold of her and kissed her.
The young woman took it as joke,
but her sister, the defendant, said she
would like as little of that fun as he
pleased. Sayerland told Eer if she
was angry he would kiss her also; he
then tried to do it, and they fell to the
ground. On rising the woman struck
him he again tried to kiss her, and
in the scuffie she bit off his nose
The action was brought to recover
damages for the loss Of his nose. The
defendant said he had no business to
kis her; if she wanted kissing she had
a husband to kiss her-a better looking
man then ever the prosecutor was.
The jury without hesitation, acquitted
her; and the chairman sal that if any
man attempted to kiss woman
against her will, she had perfect right
to bite off his nose, if she had fancy
for SO doing.

TRINITY RIVER CANAL.--ln n suit involving the
above property, the Supreme Court has made the
following decision, sustaining former judgment ::
HoCKER VS.. T. G. KELLY, EFT. Ar~-ln this case
the only error assigned is the refusal OF the Court
below to allow the appellant to intervene in the
action to which he was not made a party. The
suit was brought to recover judgment on claim
for work done as mechanic on n ditch, and to
subject to sale the promises for the payment Of
the debt. The appellant claims TO be mortgage
creditor of the defendants, the mortgage being
subsequent to the alleged mechanics lien OF the
plaintiff. The suit Of plaintiff had been pending
ior some time, and The appellant did not make
his motion to intervene until the term Of trial,
and just as the plaintiff was about obtaining
Judgment. We think the application was too
hte-at least that the Court was not bound to
allow it when so nterposed No reason is shown
why it was not sooner made. The effect OF the
application would necessarily be to postpone the
trial and If we recognized the absolute right OF
Intervention in such cases by third parties, the
result would be that ii would always be in the
power of the defendant. by assignment cr other
wise to postpone almost indefinitely trai


No injury can result to the appellant by this
refusal for if he has any valid claim ii If still
in his power, by the appropriate proceedings to
assert it, aud this proceeding and the result OF II
can in no wise affect him. The decree would, of
course, only bind the parties to it, and would not
affect Il claim when the holder Of it was not made
party to the proceeding.


The Judgment is therefore affirmed.
