BULLION FROM FL DORADO CANoN.-The first important aFrivsl of bullion from the mines of Fl Dorado Canon, on the Colorado river, was received by Wells Fargo < Co. yesterday by the Oriza5a, which arrived on Thursday evening. The amount is within fraction of S2O,0O0, and was taken out by the Colorado mill, from ore taken from the Queen City and the Techatticup mines. The per ton yield of the ore, from both uines, exceeded the anticipation of all parties interested and as consequence, the holders in all the other mines of that district are in high spirits at the result. The announcement on the street yes terday of this important arrival, created quite an interest among holders of Colorado stock generally; and we presume the shareholder. who have heretofore been somewhat neglect full of such stock, will look closer in future after their interests in that quarter. Those who do not, may look out for lively time with the jumpers.

THG PUBLIc DEBr.-It was considered one of the greatest achievements of Pitt that he devised a sinking fund whereby the public debt of England, if 1t could not be paid, might at least he prevented from increasing. \ Republican administration of the United States has done better than this When the expenses of the war can hardly be said to have ceased, the public debt is reduced twelve and three-quarter millions ia q single month. And this without extraordinary means, foreign or forced loans, subscriptions, or any resource but that derived from the r- come of the country. This is gratifying evil dence, not only to the competency of the ad- ministration in dealing with the case, but to the substantial prosperity and financial abili- ty of the country. There is no reason why this rate of reduction should not continue Sales of vessels, implements of war, stoppage of salaries, discharge of soldiers, and also the thorough hunting out and exposure of theits and rascalities which the government has wisely determined on, will add to the income Of the national Treasury, and strengthen our credit at home and abroad.

the time is so near at hand, see nothing
published in regard to it except the list Of
premiums offered by the Society. Why
don't the Committee tell the people more
about it, and thus get up more feeling on
the subject The farmers, generally, be-
Iieve, ate preparing something to exhibit.
aud from all appearances there will be quite

I am led to believe that they will do much
credit to the Valley by their effort.

How often with admiration and de-
light have / perused the early history
of mankind as it has been given to us
by Moses. The same delightful har-
mony ard order that prevaded the
works of nature then, still continue to
exist Man, too, who was formed out
Of the dust of the earth; and woman
bone of his bone, and flesh Of his
flesh, still remains the same.


The Lord said 'it is not good that
man should be alone" Solitude spoils
every enjoyment. A pleasure which
we cannot divide with others is not
worthy of the name, and an afiliction
which an amiable wife shares with us
is infinitely lighter.


The union of persons in a state Of
matrimony is the decree of an all
wise Creator. 1t is custom peculiar
even to the most heathenish and un-
enlightened people Of the earth. But
all men are not in condition to enjoy
this happiness. 1t may be prudent
for them to continue in state Of celib-
acy. So it happened with the apos-
ties, who remained unmarried; not that
they thought matrimony an evil, but
because they could see little else than
persecution in store for them, while
they without resting place or coun-
try, were determined Mt every sacrifice
to spread the truths Of tho Gospel
Therefore they recommended to 9TH
ers who had undertaken the accom-
plishment Of tho same holy designs, to
follow their example.


A matrimonial alliance is the most
sacred of all others, and ought to be
the most productive of human happi-
ness. Other connections may be bro
ken off; friendship may be severed in
a thousand different ways, but the
tie which unites man and wife forever

MUrroy THE MEAT FOR FARMERS
The cheapest meat for farmers is NUT
ton. 1t may be safely said it costs
nothing. The wool that is annually
sheared from the body of evey sheep
richly pays for its keeping. In this
climate it costs less to keep sheep than
at the North, on account of the short
ness of our winters. Then there is
the incIease-an item of great impor-
tance. The increase is so much clear
profit. From this increase the farmer
can get all his meat for a year, if he
likes. Or, he may save the lambs
and take some Of the older sheep in
their place.


The pelt of the sheep, if killed for
mutton, is also saved and sold, which
is worth nearly as much as the sheep
would sell for. .u,a.a


1t is also the most convenient meat
to have on hand. in warmest weathe
or farmer can take care of one sheep
after being killed, without letting it
spoil, with beef this is not so easy.


One hand can kill and dress sheep
in an hour. 1t takes but little time
or trouble to kill sheep; not near as
much as to kill and dress hog or beef
On account of convenience and econ
omy we say-keep sheep and eat NUT
ton.


We have said nothing about its be-
the healthiest food. This is admitted.
1t needs no argument or facts to prove
il. 1t is true that pork is the chief
meat Of the farmers. 1t is the un-
healthiest Of all, whether fresh or sat
urated with salt to preserve it sound.


Let every farmer keep sheep
They are the most profitable stock on
a farm. The hogs back only yield
bristles while the sleeps yields downy
wool. all that you feed to the hog is
gone, unless you kill it, while the
sheep will pay for its keeping with it's
fleece yearly. The hog is filthy vo-
racious animal--the sheep gentle as
a dove and neat and cleanly.-G Gmeses

eventually tend to incorporate within
the mind spirit Of enmity and Bit
terness which nothing can eradicate


The newly married, if they would
enjoy unanimity, must establish it as
governing and inevitable rule not
to conceal from one one another any
secrets. Even their minutest thoughts
should be reciprocally known, other
wise misunderstanding and distrust
will be the consequence. 1t is better
to disclose the most trihing error,
however painful it may be, than to
envelop it in doubt and mystery. Az
there is nothing which ought not to be
equally the concern of both, it should
be their earnest endeavors to enjoy
each others confidence, and then no
evil designed persons can create dis
sensions between them. When there
is an attempt to hide fault, one from
the other, there is always dissimi-
larity of feelings which will sooner or
later estrange their affections. Even
in Jest they ought not to indulge in
any light or trivial conduct which is
at variance with the character they
have assumed. Let them attend faith
fully to these duties and they will find
that matrimony is as q golden tie,
locking their hearts together beyond
the power of anything but death to
separate.


And finally the surest foundation Of
connubial happiness, the most impor-
tant of all other considerations, is re-
ligion. The husband who is destitute
of this-who never make deity tho
subject of his meditations, is moro
likely to run into tho sins Of vice and
immortality he who would be most
likely to abandon or drive his family
into misery and despair. The wife,
also, whose heart is.not warmed with
religious emotions is divested Of one
of her most inestimable charms, and
is less capable of soothing the rugged
sorrows of her husband. That wo-
man whose soul is not consecrated
with the indwelling of God is not
susceptible of those high perfections
which are so peculiarly the ornaments
of her sex. Newly married people,
if they prize their future happiness,
should never regard this subject with
Indifference. If in one, religious feel
ings are extinct, the other may renew
them by gentle hints and exhortations.
Furnish at all times an example Of
piety, and such will be the effect Of
habit that in course of time one will
imperceptibly be led to adopt the SEN
timents and principles Of another, and
at the same time think them tho re
suit Of his own convictions. Only in
this way can the happiness of we'd
lock be so immutably established as
to mitigate the evils incident to hu-
man life.


You who have united your desti-
nies upon the altar, remember that
you stand pledged to comfort and
support each other in every extremity.
As you journey on from time to eter-
nifty your days of anguish will come,
and without the same love, the same
faith, and the same hope of eternal
happiness, you cannot expect to tri-
umph over your calamities.

from the PHfsburg (Fd} Dispatch, July 13.


Our readers will doubtless remember the
remarkable case OF Louisa Black burn, VITO was
found under haystack in North Beaver Town
ship, Lawrence county, in December last, where
she had lain, without food and with very lCtle
covering, Tor period OF about three weeks She
was In dying condition when found, both feet
having been frozen. and her body greatly
emaciated by long fasting.


She slowly gained sti ength, and after several
weeks Of medical treatment, it became necessary
to amputate both of her limbs about four inches
below the knees. She also lost the sight OF one
eye, caused by the effects of severe cold. 1t was
feared that she would not survive the operation
OF double amputation, but after many weeks OF
nursing she began to recover, and is now able to
crawl about in quite Il lively manner. She is
living in the same vicinity, and is supported by
the Poor Directors OF the township. A consider
able sum of money has been raised for the pur.
pose OF purchasing her artificial feet but it is
thought that these appliances would be useless,
owing to the fact that the "stumps" are drawn
back wards, not having been kept straight with
the remainder of the limbs after amputation
She has lately made several attempts to stand,
and comes so near succeeding that she thinks
she will yet be able TO walk upright.


She is go active that she can crawl INTO bed
herself, and get out again, by climbing down
the bed'post. She is likely to lose the sight of
her other eye, as film, resembling cataract, is
now making its appearance upon the ball. She
still persists in the story she originally told of
having escaped from Salt Lake City, with her
mother and sister, who died from the hardshlps
OF the journey, and were buried on the way.
Very few persons believe the statement, and
there are good reasons for regarding it as
greatly exaggerated, or a sheer fabrication
The fact of her having remained so long a time


in the hay-stack is corroborated by respectable
citizens, and her recovery, considering her
almost hopeless condition, is one; of the most
singular acts on record She has also been the
occasion OF much unpleasant feeling and con-
troversy among persons in the Immediate
neigh borhood; but since her recovery the gos-
sip venders have had but little to say about
her or the manner of her treatment.
