SURE ESouGH.--We have verified the rue nor that the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad Company were working force of men at Soledad Pass. We learn by Mr. John Searles that about twenty men, with MT. Coffin at their head, have been busily engaged in grad ing from the summit down into the Soledad Canon. Three surveys Uf the pass have been made by the company, and the work now go- ing on is following the last survey. They are doing some very good work, and the road, when finished, will be fine specimen of rail way engineering in difficult region. The objective point Of present operations is San Buenaventura, which they will reach by way of Santa Clara Valley. When they reach this point the company expect that the coast counties will encourage them with subsidies if not, San Buenaventura will bc the Pacific terminal polnt. There is doubtless another railroad object in this qulet inauguration of work SO remote from either of the company's

 initial points. The pass is very narrow, and is incapable of admitting two parallel roads and as the Southern Pacific will also be com pelled to come through this Canon in order to reach its point of divergement near Lyon: station it will give the Atlantic and Pacific the advantage of precedence over the othe

 company. There may be, also land consid erations in the sharp undertaking. We ar, glad to have this Soedad railroad rumor yer

It is we'll understood, we believe, says the Danbury Nea0s that when man has sore head some one will hit him there, and if he has 8 sore foot some one will step on it. We don't know why this is, but it is. We remember that when we were boy, and had boil, some facetious wretched would be sure to come around with 8 long lath, and slap it across that boil. We are reminded of this singular fatality by an incident that happened to Pine street man, last Thursday. He has got a "run around" on one finger, and a partly healed wound from cut on another, both members belonging to the right hand. On Thursday an uncle from Sherman came to see him, and the uncle being one of your whole-souled and hearty men, the Pine-street man was glad to see him, and unconsciously extended his hand. The uncle from Sherman grasped it in his own brawny fist, and gave it squeeze that split the " run around" in two, smashed in the wound, and made every joint in the hand say something. It was the busi- ness of the Pine-street man to tell his uncle to walk in and have a chair. But he didn't. As soon as he got loose, he ran out in the yard for the axe, and if the uncle from Sherman had not gath cred from the utterances of his nephew an impression that the census of Sher- man was in danger, and had the sagaci- ty to have been influenced by it, there might have been sickening tragedy to recOrd

The Troy Press says that James Stearns, young son of the proprietor of the Mansion House in that city, arose in his sleep early on Sunday morning, and walked out of the window, it being in the third story of the hotel. The Press says: ' It appears that the young man has been a somnambulist for some time. He often arose in his sleep from his bed and wandered about the hall, where he has been seen and sent safely back to his room by persons in the hotel. The window in his room was open, and when he got out of bed he must have walked directly out. He struck on a sign over Hidley's music store, and the fall was somewhat broken, but whether it was an advantage to strike on the edge of the sign in his fall is a question. When he was found the watchman of the house was called and medical aid sent for. The scalp was badly cut, probably having struck on the sign in the fall, and his skull is thought to be fractured. The lower portion of his body appears to have been paralyzed by the fall. The distance from the window to the walk is about thirty-fve feet. He is seventeen years of age. Tester day at noon he appeared to be resting quietly, but his recovery was yet con- sidered very uncertain"

Disease With Thousand Symptoms.

 Dyspepsia is the most perplexlng of all human ailments. Its symptoms almost infinite in their variety and the forlorn and Respondent vic- tins of the disease often fancy themselves the prey, in turn, of every known malady. This is due, in part, to the close sympathy which exists be- tween the stomach and the brain and in part, also, to the fact that any disturbance of the digestive functions necessarily disorders the liver, the bowels and the nervous system, and affects to extent, the quality of the blood. medicine that,

Old Locha of Chowichan hearing that party of Stekins were on their way to attack his village, took a strong party of his men and posted them in the woods about mile from it, leaving his little son wrapped upin blanket in a canoe drawn up on the beach, in con- venient proximity to the ambush. Sus- pecting nothing, the Stekins sailed up Cowichan Bay, until they spied what they took for an Indian girl left in the canoe while her mother was gathering roots and berries in the wood. They immediately padded to shore, anxious to secure this easily acquired slave. The little boy, however, had received his directions. Waiting until they were close at hand, in apparent fright he ran into the woods. Every one of the Stekins was anxious to catch him, and accordingly, hastily leaving their canoes on the beach, they hastily pur- sued him into the woods :; but the boy was too swift-footed for them.

 Returning to the beach, they were mortified to find themselves, unarmed and defenseless, surrounded by Locha and his warriors and it is said that all of them were either killed or taken pris- oners

From the Savannah Adyestiser, Nov. 81


One day last week there arrived in
this city a young man Of rather delicate
and genteel appearance, in company
with two pretty, young females. After
strolliRg about for some time, not know
ing where to 20, by some means or other
he dropped into the residence Of prom
inent minister of the gospel Whether
attracted here by the imposing appear
ance Of the building, or drawn by a sort
of intuition, we are not able to say. But
by whatever infatuation he was led it is
certain that he fortunately found the
good Samaritan.


Being blessed with a sufficient amount
of "brass and a good address, our
young man found little difficulty in inn
posing upon the kind feelings of the
gentleman to whom he applied and
representing himself as an invalid,
travelling with his two sisters from the
North TO some point il Florida for their
health, and that they had lost their bag
gage on the way, were without money,
etc, the kind-hearted minister told the
young man not to trouble himself any
further, but to bring his sisters along and
remain at his house until they could
make the necessary arrangements TO
continue on their journey.


This proposition was just what our
young man wanted, and he accordingly
went after the sisters" who, in a short
time, were comfortably lodged and at
tentively cared for by the gentleman re-
ferred to, who, by the way, we learn,
even gave up his own room to them.
The next day the young man and his
sisters were taken charge Of by some
friend of the minister, who was in bet
ter condition to accommodate them.


In the meantime the sympathies Of
another minister was enlisted in their
behalf, and free passages procured over
the Atlantic and Gulf railroad to Flor
ida for the two young females. They
left last Friday. After their departure
the brother went down to the wharf
of one of the New York steamships, on
which, through the kind intervention
and assistance of these same ministers,
he had secured passage to New York in
order to look up their lost baggage.
upon dTrlNluR dJ Ino "uhli hO iVuhu
that the steamer on which his passage
had been secured was gone. Ascertain
ing that certain other ship would leave
in a short time, he ran down to the
wharf, and representing himself as a
waiter of the steamship that had just
left, succeeded in obtaining passage.
In the meantime male member of the
family, where this same young man had
been staying last, discovered the true
character of the parties. There was
really no relationship whatever existing
between him and the females, and the
probability is, that after having finished
his lark" with the girls, he was return

Low WATER,-We notice by our ex-
changes that this is a season in which the
streams generally are very low through
out the State. Trinity county is no ex-
ception. All the creeks have very little
water in them and the river itself is so
low that we waded it in one place with a
common pair of leather boots, dry footed.
As it will be couple of months before
the springs begin to start we shall proba-
bly, have, this year, the lowest stage of
water ever known by the whites.

rounds of the papers with Joaquin Miller
as the reputed author. We never had
much admiration for Miller as writer
