FEMALE SoCErY-A young man cannot min

with rudoness and i'll manners under such res

THE LEVER WHICH MOVES THE WoRLD.-Gov.
Packer, veteran editor, made a speech before
the Pennsylvania State Editorial, Union, at Har-
rsburgb, on the 10th of February. The little
extract from his speech, given below, we consider
well worth reproducing


Printers and editors have a right to he proud
Of their art. ! need not say to you, my fellow
citizens that | did not come here 10 make a
speech, because you will learn that before | am
through. Printers, say, have right to be proud
Of their art Cast your eyes back for few cen
turtles, when there were no printers, and you will
find that the whole world was enveloped in dark
moss, and that to be a poor man was to be a seri
and a slave. Now, civilization, and the arts and
sciences, march behind the printing press Wher-
ever you send your army, the most potent ma
chine that goes with that army, more formidable
than cannon, more terrible than the sword, is the
printing press that goes with it; every platoon con-
tains a printer and in every battle that has been
fought on this continent the printers have not
only done their part with the sword, but with the
printing press and to day, the printing press is
most feared by the tyrans of this world-for it
is the tyrants foe and peoples friend. The
printing press is more feared this day. among the
old rotten arstocracy Of Europe, than all the ar
mics Of the world. What is it that Louis Napo-
Icon most fears If two hundred thousand reso-
lutte soldiers were to appear in Paris tomorrow,
they would not alarm him half so much as the
news that two hundred thousand newspapers,
containing the true record of his government
had been circulated within the city of Paris
only four hundred years ago there were no print
ing presses.

EDITOR TRINITY JoURNAL.-Sir My attention
has Just been called to an article in the Red Bluff
Beacon of the Sth inst, in which the editor repre-
sents that am really desirous of being cand-
date for Congress, while ostensibly seeking the
nomination for Governor. The editor has not the
slightest foundation for any such conclusion.
During the course Of the remarks alluded to.
never mentioned the contest now going on for
Congressional bonors, nor have | nterfercd in
that matter in any way whatever. have never
been in the habit OF accomplishing the objects |
had in view by indirectOn, and had it been my
intention to be a candidate for sea. in Congress
would have said so. Mr. Burch and myself have
always been personal friends, and there has never
been any desire on my part to do him an injury
or an unkind act and my past course through
life ought to be a sufficient guarantee that
would not go about such thing in the unfair
way pointed out by the Beacoa. The statement
in the Beacon is gratuitous and unfounded.

Fashion kills more women than toll and
sorrow. Obedience to fashion is greater
transgression of The laws of woman's nature,
a greater injury to her physical and mental
constitution than the hardship of poverty and
neglect. The slave woman at her tasks will


live and grow old, and see two or three
generations of her mistresses fade and pass
away. The washerwoman with scarce
ray of hope to cheer her in her tolls, will
live to see her fashionable sisters die all
around her. The kitchen maid is hearty
and strong, when her lady has to be nursed,
like sick baby. 1t is a sad truth that
fashion-pampered women are almost worth
less for all the good ends of life. The have
but little force of character. they have still
less power of moral will, and quite as little
physical energy. They are only doll forms

Editor Herald: Dear SIR: Believing
that the readers of your valuable journal, are
at all times desirous to learn of the most
important incidents occurring in the county
and particularly what may be transpiring at
one of the oldest and formerly, one of the
most thriving localities in the State, induces
me to send you few jottings.


There are about two hundred Cinnamon
in this vicinity who are doing most of the
surface mining so far as raising or shoveling
the dirt is concerned American miners are
generally working "bed rock suices," as the
ground has been so often worked, that no
other process, could possibly be made to pay
Some eight or ten companies are working
in this district by the method last mentioned
and are doing much better than by the old
process of raising the dirt.


Brown Il Co., on the Auburn Ravine, just
below Civil Usage, have been to the expense
of over thousand dollars, blasting "bed
rock" preparatory to putting in long sluce
expecting to have good paying work for
several years. Burr, Curtis Il Co., on
North Ravine, are laying down, in the cen
ter of the ravine one of the best bed rock
sluices in the Township. They will proba-
bly, have paying ground for five years.


If the Bear River Co., would, instead of
pinching the miners down to the small pit
ance of ten inches, for sluice head, give
them enough to work to advantage, it would
in the end in my opinion, be better for both
parties. In that case there would be more
men at work, who would be much better
able to pay for water than now.


In quartz mining, | am not so we'll posted.
However, last Sunday saw good exhibit
of the richness of the quartz, taking out Of
the Doig lode-consisting Of fifty ounces Of
clear gold, virgin gold out of fifteen lbs.
of rock. Doig & Co., estimate that they
have out in sacks, uncrushed, upwards Of
five thousand dollars. Their specimen quartz
is from a thin spur or lode not over two
inches thick, which, on the gold bearing
strata, is about one fourth gold. Snebly "

Look TO THE SrovE PIPEs.-We would
call the attention of those owning property
occupied by Chinese in town, to the unsafe
condition of number of their stove-pipes.
From observations we made in that quarter
a few days since, we were convinced that the
immunity of the town from fire was more
the result of good fortune than of care.
The known carelessness of Chinese should
prompt persons renting them buildings to see
to it personally that their stove pipes should
be put up in such manner to secure against
danger from fire as far as possible.

RICH QUARrz-We are informed that a
company of Frenchmen are now getting out
some very rich quartz on North Ravine a
short distance from the old Civil Usage place,
and about mile and a half from Auburn.
Our informant says he saw in their possession
on last Sunday, one bucket of quartz which
they estimated to be worth $500. Mr..
Holm, of this place is one of the company.


The rich qurtz veins of the Auburn ravine
are beginning to attract the attention of min
ers and it is well they should, as the vaua-
bic discoveries made in them from time to
time, warrant the belief that this is one Of
the finest quartz fields in the State, that must
ere long receive the attention Of capital
