That the Gold region of the State is founded on an riferotts hills an I that those portions which have been worked are different from the remainder in this respect is now certain The Gold on the surface has boon set free and in the course of ages as the rains have washed nway the dirt the Gold lias worked into the gulches and creeks to a larger amount than has usually chanced in other places These creeks were the first to get worked out and many imagined that when lheCrold was exhausted in these places there would belittle left worth digging for But it now proves others ise In those sections where ths diggings have proved richest the hills if they have been thoroughly prospected have al most uniformly proved rich Leads are found running in till directions through the hills and itrequires only close observation and good judg ment to render tho deep diggings not only relia ble but extremely profitable jyThe Lebanon Star and Xenia Torch Light have not yet heard the news of the

question of subscribing $100000 of stock to the road That amount of stock was raised here by indi vidual subscription in a few days and such is the confidence of our people that the stock of this road is destined to bo the first in point of value in the market that another hundred thou sand could very easily be raised if required On Monday last one of our most extensive farmers who owns oyer eleven hundred acres of valuable land gave assurances that he wasrea dy to invest the entire value of his farm in the stock of this Company This farm if put into the market would readily bring $36000 Such

again: A year or two since when the subject of Temperance was being freely discussed the cit izens ol a little town in the western part of Mas sachusetts called a meeting to talk over the mat ter There had never been a temperance socie ty in the place but after somd little discussion it was voted to form one They drew up a pledge of total abstinence and agreed that if any mem her of the society broke it he should be turned out Before the pledge was Deacon arose and said he had one' objection to it he thought that Thanksgiving day ought to bo free for the members to take something as he could relish his dinner much better at this festival if he took a class of wine thought that the pledge was not perfect He care anything about Thanksgiving but his family always made a great acconnt of Christmas and he think of sitting down to dinner then without something to drink He was willing to give it up on all other days and in tact that was the only time when he cared any thing about it Air: next arose and said he agreed with the other speakers except the time He didn't think much of Thaksgiving or of Christmas" though lie liked a little any time There was one day however when he must have it and that was the ourth of July He always calculated upon having on that occasion and he sign the pledge if it prevented him from celebrating Independence Squire an old farmer followed Mr Ao was not in the habit of taking anything often but must have some when he washed his sheep lie would sign the pledge if it would give him the privilege of imbibing when he washed his sheep Why he considered it dangerous to keep his hands in cold water without something to keep him warm inside Alter some consideration it was concluded tfiat each member of the society should take his own occasion todrink Deacon on Thanksgiving Mr Christmas etc The pledge was signeq( by a large number and the society adjotfrned irt flourishing condition after voting that it should be the duty of the members to watch eat olhqy to see that they did no' break the pledge jj The next morning Deacon walked into Im next yard who by the way was Mr the sheep man wondering as it was a bitter cold morning whether was up yet He tnet his neighbor coming out of the house and to his surprise gloriously drunk or to use modern phrase a very beautiful exclaimed the astonished Deacon what dues this mean sir? You have broken yo pledge and disgraced our society and the' temperance cause hie as you knows on hie Deacon said hie broken the pledge Certainly you have sir and I shall report you to the society You agreed not to drink except 1 when you washed sheep You cannot make me think you are going to wash sheep such a cold day as follow me hie Deacon started for the barn and the Deacon fol lowed On entering the door the Deacon saw large wash tub standing in the floor with an old ram tied to it the poor animal shaking dread fully with the cold nnd bleating pitifully there said pointing to the sheep with an air of triumph'that hie ram has been washed six' nmes morning and I hie done with him hie It is hardly necessary to say that the Deacon1 Total Increase 1853 (abitit 25 per cent) $107745

$12161311 This statement shows the importance of the way travel and freights which notwithstanding ig Irom the relaying of the track and the absence of rapid passenger boats on the Lake to attract the through travel over the road not only kept tho receipts up to those of 1851 2 but caused them largely to ex ceed tho receipts of that and of any previous year The result is a forcible illustration of the ra pidity with which the resources of the country traversed by the road are developed and from it can be formed an idea of the immense trafiic promised by the future Tho total working expenses of the road for the year were $271 88342 about 50 per cent of the receipts There are employed on the road thirty five locomotives twenty three of which arc from the manufactory of Rogers Ketchum

boundary line between San rancisco and Santa Clara counties but on re ceiving intelligence that some interference was to be looked for tho parties proceeded to a spot about three miles the other side ofthe line Mr McCorkle won the choice of position and the word The weapon selected was the rifle dis tance thirty paces the combatants to wheel at tho word and fire A number of spectators were on the ground Three shots were fired without effect one of Senator balls passing al most through the hair of Mr McCorkle At this point the friends of the parties inter fered "mutual explanations were made the offen sive words withdrawn and tho parties recon ciled The second section of the eleventh article of the Constitution of California reads as follows 2 Any citizen of this State who shall after the

following article in regard to the World's Exhibition in New York is from the Tribune of riday next day after the opening The ad vice as to the best time for people at a distance to visit the Exhibition is no doubt wcll consder i ed and sensible: The air of 1853 is opened so far as inaugural ceremonies and the swinging wide of doors can make it so and yet he would be gieatly deceived who should be led from those facts to infer that it is in a condition to be visited scrutinized nnd enjoyed Its Loudon prototype was in a very chaotic state of general prepara tion when formally opened by the Queen on the 1st of May 1851 but ours is very far behind that It would be estimating liberally to say tltat two thirds of the wares ready for exhibition have been taken out ofthe cases while much that is exposed to view lacks arrangement and finish to secure the proper effect The general inside appearance is that of a gigantic fancy store or bazaar in which some eccentric earthquake" has knocked Christmas into Mayday and jum bled the two in inextricable confusion We speak of the Exhibition as we left it at 6 last evening it' will probably be better this morning and much better before Monday morning To any one whocannot be here next month or in the all fit is richly worth a visit now but those who can visit it at one time as well as another should keep away for the pres ent and we especially urge our country friends not to make their visit earlier than August and September would be preferable to any earlier time We have said that tho London exhibition appeared in a more forward state than this yet that was not entirely Completed a month after the opening We trust that the last touches will be given to this before August but it will not close in a hurry and those who would see it to the best advantage may as well take their time i To dilate at this time on the excellences ano beauties of the wares and fabrics exhibited would bo simply absurd There are many single articles winch require and winrowani mi attention and we have but wandered through the building barely glancing from one article to another The Exhibition is in a state which re investio aiion and
