The post. pHad' very little idea of where
me was, still he was firm in his belief
that he should fud her, and that she
would be true to him. In due time he
arrived in New York, and at once began
his search For several months it was
kept up, and he was finally rewarded by
a clue from which it appeared that the
object of his affections had gone to New
Orleans. Thither he posted, only to
learn that she whom lie sought had left
there a year or SO previous for Kansas.
Taking the cars, he ticketed himself for
Atchison, and making that a kind OF

at work to Michigan, and vas then sup
posed to be residing in the town of
Negaunee, in the upper peninsula. There
he went, only to learn that she had been
married, aud with her husband moved to
the lead mines about Galeua.


Here his money gave out and he was
forced to seek employment in the iron
mines where he labored for nearly a
year. Then with his accumulated wages
he started out again, determined to find
and meet her face to face. He arrived
in Galena a month ago, and soon after
learned that she. whom he sought had
been made a widow by an accident, aud
was again forced to seek her own living.

from her, or any direct information that
his first love still remains true, yet be
expresses himself as sure Of her regards
and will continue the search until he
finds her. There Is a spice Of romance
about this which would furnish the data
for frst-class novel yet We have no
doubt it Is all true. There are very few
people living in this country who would
follow their lady love over the continent,
without having some assurance that their
labor would be rewarded in the end, yet
he never seems to doubt but she will
cling to him as Of old Whenever he shall

A QUEER ANECDoTE OF Two PARSONS
The Springfield Republican tells this: On
the first Sunday in July-a day that every
one will remember on account of the extreme
heat-Parson A. ahd Parson B., both resi-
dents of Franklin county, Exchanged" As
Parson A. was jogging along home in the
cool of the evening, lost in pleasant reflections
of the nice dinner Of roast lamb and green
peas which he had just disposed of, gay
young fellow drove up behind with a spank
ing gray mare and likely to go at that pace,
tlrned out to pass by Parson A., who loves
good horse. He has been sure this particular
black could trot, ever since he first set eyes
on him in the stable, the morning after the
last donation party. The road was good
twas quiet spot; probably the devil tempted
him. AT auy rate, he drew up his lines,
whistled to his horse, away they went across
the fiat at no end of a pace neck and neck.
As the contest was at its hottest, spectator
appeared upon the scene. If either of the
contestants noticed the quiet team driving
slowly toward them in the twilight, in the
excitement at the time they paid no regard to
it, until the black horse shot in the road
ahead, and Parsol &. took off his hat with
something that looked like a triumphant
flourish. At the same instant they discover
ed that the occupant of the coming carriage
was Parson 3. They were both considere-
bly, confounded, and probably looked so, until
tire laughing Parson called out, 81 congratu-
late you, Brother A.. That was pretty good
time considering the weather And, James,
as one of my Pensioners, L consider it my
duty to comfort you with the assurance that
heaven is the place of conversations for those

coast of Labrador, and while returning
to Saint Johns, Newfoundland, through
the straits, one evening was caught
in northerly gale. AS night closed

and, knowing that ice was knocking
about, placed extra lookouts on, and
remained on deck in charge of the
vessel myself.


To say the night was dark would

which we appeared to be sailing. One
could scarcely see an arms length, and
as for discerning anything ahead, that
appeared impossible. I say appeared,
because there is difference in having
something to look at than nothing, be-
cause in the latter case, you fancy
nothing could be seen, even if any
thing were there to be seen.

oHaeta, NOV. list, lS12.


EDITOR OF SHASTA CoURIER-Dea,
Sir-1n looking over the proceedings Of
the Board of Supervisors published in your
issue of Nov. 10th, l fud an order for the
County Auditor to draw Warrant on the
General Fund in favor of Fender & Steven
son for the sum of s4794, in payment fol-
building the Milville Bridge.


Upon examining the proceedings had at a
Special Meeting held July sth 1872 il
will appear that the proposal of Fender &
Stevenson to build said bridge was accent.
ed and reads as follows


"Ordered that the bid of Fender & Ste.
venson to build bridge across Cow Creek
for the sum of $4,000 in Gold Coin or its
equivalent in County Scrip be accepted" I"


Would not few pertinent enquiries to
the Hon. Board in connection with their
action as detailed above be in order


For instance, why did they after accept
ing the above proposal order an issue of
Warrants to the amount of S4784, instead
Of $1,000, in payment thereof?


Where do they find authority for consid-
ering dollar of County Scrip of less value
than dollar in Gold Coin in payment of
any demand against the County?


1t will be perceived from the amount issu-
ed that they arrived at the conclusion-by
what system Of reasoning ii is difficult to de-
fine, that one dollar in Shasta County Scrip
was worth but sixty two and one half cents
in Coin, when paying for Bride, put IS
worth one hundred ceeIaits, when paying 9th,
er demands,


IF am not in error, our Supreme Court
has decided that Supervisors or any Audi
ting Board can only issue. evidences of in
debtedness at the rate of one hundred cents
on the dollar.


Will our Board of Supervisors sell the
Scrip received in payment for their own
services, at the rate fixed by them as above !?


1t appears to me as an unjust discrin-
ination between Scrip holders, as well as
an imposition upon tax payers.


Suppose for instance the holders of the
above mentioned Scrip should decide to
put it in the next Redemption Fund can
other holders who have had to receive their
Scrip at par value for services rendered
compete with them? I think not +: as these
parties can bid for the Fund at such a
figure, that while making handsome profit
out of the County on their transaction,
practically exclude other holders, as thew
could net afford to bid at 50 low figure.


Again, if the al owe Scrip is held until
maturity, period of about seven years at
seven per cent interest, one can readily see
how much more the County will have to
pay for this Bridge, in principal and inter-
est, than they are legally entitled to pay.


do not suppose the Honorable Board
in making this contract, had any idea of
discriminating between creditors, or i'm
posing upon tax payers but it appears to
an impartial observer that before entering
into contract, or fulfilling its terms, they
should use more caution, and be sure Of
their ground before going ahead, and thus
avoid committing such errors.


Yours truly TAX PAYER.

PIT RIVER, VS.. PITT RIvER-Under
this head correspondent of the COURIER
sends US the following:


Now that Big Valley, Fall River, Hot
Spring and Goose Lake are attracting con-
siderable sattention and immigration, and
in the near future promises to develope in
to an important agricultural and grazing
district, to say nothing of its prospective
mining possibilities, it is important that the
orthography of the principal river of that
region should be correctly understood, and
the derivation of the name preserved as a
part of the history as well as the literature
OF this part of the State


A common and very natural mistake is
being INDUCED in by the newspapers which
it is the object of this article to correct.


The name "Pit River" is derived from
the numerous pits, dug by the Indians,
along the stream in which to entrap deer
and other game, these pits, as the writer
saw dozens of them several years ago on the
banks Of Fall river, are constructed as fol-
lows: A path or trail near the river is
selected when pit eight or ten feet long
and as wide as the trail is dug, widening
as it goes down until at depth of ten feet
it is four of five feet across the bottom
The dirt taken out is all carried to the
river and thrown into the water, so that no
trace of the digging is visible after spread
ing tules and grass over the opening and
along the trail SO as to cause a similarity of
appearance in the ground. Thus arranged
the unsuspecting deer or bear, as the case
may be, walks on trails along his accustom-
ed thoroughfare in fancied security. until
all of a sudden the earth recedes from be.
meath his feet and he finds himself in real
security, Mr.. Indian having secured him
in hole in the ground, where be proceeds
to murder him according to the most ap
proved Indian method.


Thus it is that Pit River is Pit River
and not Pitt River.
