Then' wretns to he a diTvrslly of opinion with refbrcnec to the eff. ct of the b 11 for further defin ing tho rights of jurors In criminal cases, by do. daring them judges of tho law a« well as of tho fiart;” and this diversity relates to the all impor tant point— what is the power to be given them? If it is the power to say, in case of an alleged vio lation of law, wh tlicr tho true spirit and intent of the law has been violated—that is one thing; if it is the power to say whoiln r the law alleged to have been violated is a just and proper law —that is anot her and a very different thing. The first of these powers, we think jurors ought to possess— greatly influenced in their judgment, as they still would be, by the opinion of the bench. The sec ond is revolutionary, and subversive of tho whole frame of government. Let u know then, gentlemen of the legislature, Just tvhat you mean. If, as many appear to th ink, your plan is to take the business of law making out of the hands of the representatives of the whole people and give it to men chosen as jurors arc, (for a law dispensing is virtually a law mak ing power,) if it bo thus to give us rules that are no rules, rules liable in any part of the state to differ from those in every other, rales liable also to vary with each shifting court and oftener, rules whose operations could neither be-predicated nor traced—if this is your plan, it may deserve to be consider d. Indeed in that case we apprehend that it will be. It may not be amiss to say here that the plea of Erskine for the rights of juries in the cam of the Dean of St Asaph, so often alluded to, has refer ence only to that right first mentioned; and so in his def nse of Stockdale, which rested on similar principles, he merely wishes that the jury might read the book, for the publication of which his client was indicted, and then decide whether or not it was libelous: while the judges on the other band held that the jury might only return a verdict on the fact of publication, and that they themselves might determine as a question of law whether the book was lib.lous in its character. It is plain that the doctrine of Erskine is the only safe one, since when a person is indicted for a crime charg ed upon him, the real thing or fact to be settled is, has he intended to do an act forbidden by tl\e Jaw making authority 0.1 this question the jury ought to render a “general verdict founded upon an Investigation of the whole case.” It seems strange that any one should think of giving to a jury the right b yond this to sit in judgment on the wisdom and propriety of the law itself; yet we know that there are those who re gard the bill now pending in our legislature as calculated to do this. Hon.c the common re mark that if it becomes a statute, no convictions can be had under the Maine law.” But we are not going into a discussion of the subject; we only ask of the legislature to throw away ambiguous terms, and let us have light, clear, unmistakeable light as to what they mean. THE RUSSIAN SUCCESSION. By the death of the Emperor Nicholas h- eld est son, Alexander Nicolaiwitch, succeeds of right to the Russian throne. He was bom on April 29, 1818, and is therefore now in his thirty-seventh year. On April 28,1811, he married Maximilien ne Wilhelmina Augusta Sophia Maria (who was bom August S, 182-1), daughter of the grand duke Louis 11. of Hesse, but in .accordance with the cus tom when foreigners marry Into the Russian im perial family, sho changed her name and her reli gion, assuming the name of Marie-Alxandrowna. She has borne to the new emperor four children, all sons, the eldest of whom was bom on Sept. 20, 1843, and the youngest on Jan. 14, 1850. Among persons connected with the Russian court and enjoying good opportunities of forming an opinion, Alexander has no grea reputation for abilities, being regarded as decidedly inferior in that respect to his younger brother, Constantine, (born S pt. 21; 1827.) Constantine is also the more popular of the two, and it has often b en suggested, at St Petersburg and elsewhere, as not only possible but probable, that, on the death of Nicholas, an attempt would be made to set Alex ander aside in favor of Cmstantine; but though auch a course would be by no means without a precedent in Russian history, wo do not believe that it will now be attempted. Alexander, if we mistake not, is ranked as an opponent of the present war, but however this may be, his accession to the throne cannot fail to hare one very important political effect, that of loosening the bonds which bind Prussia to Rus sia, for, as long as the wife of the reigning em peror was a sister of the king of Prussia, that re lationship could not fail to give Russia a great in fluence over the easy, good-natured, champagne loving king, but now that she sinks into a power less empress dowager, the state of things must be very much changed, and even if no other result follows, wc expect to see Prussia join in the w st. era alliance within a very short period. The emperor Nicholas has left two other sons, Nicholas Nicolaewitch, bora Aug. 8,1831, and Michael N.colacwlteh, born Oct. 25,1832, as well as two daughters, Marla Nicolaewna, bora Aug. 18,1819, who married the duke of Lertb which was to b* oc cu oJ bv the voung lady, wdl now be filled by a happy couple! GKN WILSON AND SUVBRt. Onr new senator spoke the true voice of Massa chusetts in his portion of the slavery debate In th U. 8. Senate, upon Mr Touccy’s appendix to the fugitive skive law. We print his remarks en tire, including the Interlocutory remarks of sev eral pro-lavery senators, who seemed nfuch in terested in Gen Wilson’s frank exposition, gave him all attention, nml tested him with questions. This feature of the speech gives It great Interest; and wo commend the whole to cand’d attention. Th re has lie n an indisposition, heretofore, on tho part of Northern men, to ‘speak out in meet ing’ at Washington, and say frankly and truly what tho feelings and positions of their constitu ents are as to the questions connected with shiv ery. A fiw ultraists have spoken, It Is true, and sjioken too violently, and thus given the South an aggravate J idea of the position of the freedom loving people Of the North. Hut the firdtive slave law an 1 tho Nebraska outrage upon sanctified law and tho rights of the North have unsealed i the lips of the moderate re presentatives of the free states, or supplanted them with a new crop of more reflective or representative men. Thuon some one retn’ndcd him that who i It ng gold'a artillery w.is maneuver ng on Bos.on com mon, th Boston ‘m lingtary’ cau'd not preserve their own lin s, buc were obliged to sond for a poise of poLco to do it for them. That was a loser. THE SPRINGFIELD WEEKLY REPUBLICAN: SATURDAY, MARCH 24, 1855. THE CONCLUSION OF THE HISTORY OF WESTERN MASSACHUSETTS. During the first week of ISM, wo commenced the publication of n detailed history of tho four Western counties of Massachusetts, in weekly chapters; and, save tho history of F.g remont, In Berkshire county, which circumstan c?s have conspired to delay, and which we must print by itself a week or two lienee, the work is now dime; having been fifteen months in the course of publication and eighteen in preparation. The enterprise is brought to a conclusion with the satisfaction on our part of having more than fulfilled our promise, made at the commencement. Hut there is a satisfaction over and beyond all this, in this successful Issue of our labors, and it is a satisfaction that we indulge, in common with nil others who view the subject aright. We have been instrumental in preserving, in a convenient form, and forever, a largo mass of historical ma terial, invaluable in its character, from destruc tion. Tho great processes of life and labor through which Western Massachusetts Itas passed, from her earliest settlement; the great interests which form the basis of her social, business and intel lectual lie; the establishment and progress other one hundred municipalities—all these have been r viewed, developed and carefully chronicled, I and wo are thankful that tee have been permitted 1 to do it. Wo are thankful also that the Kcpnbli can has earned and established a new claim to bo associated with tho history of a section to whoso i interests it is devoted, and to whose generous pat ronage it owes an ever increasing prosperity. The collection of the materials of the work, and their arrangement and composition, have been no pas time. They have called for hard, every-day, per i plexing work, and even th s work, on our part, woo d have availed comparatively little, but for the assistance, so readily and cheerfully rendered, in nearly every town, in tho collection of facts, the transcription of records, &c., by individuals, who, appreciating the importance of the work, have been willing to assist in its progress. Wo cannot do justice to these gentlemen without ac knowledging our indebtedness to them by name, i so that the towns may know who their friends arc, and who are willing to work for their inter ests.

We, as well as our correspondents, have been much aid d in collecting the materials for the histories of the B rkshiroand Franklin towns, by Field’s H story of Berkshire County, and P.rck ar I’s II story of the Churches and ministers of Franklin C unty. Tac work now brought to a conclusion has been very thoroughly revised,and, on the 15th of April, or about that time, will b issued in two b auti fully printed volumes, the first of which is al realy finished. We feel that it is not too much to ask, and expect, that the book shall be gene rously and justly patronized at home, on its own t a-rtory, for hero is where we mu»t Mok for its principal sale. We have commission' d agents for t ie majority of the towns in the four west m counties, and we commend them and their entcr- prise to tho consideration aud hearty encourage ment of tho public. And now, a word In regard to the new work, promised for the year 18W, to our subscribers. Tho preparation of the book which we have spok en of above hist interfered with the commence ment of this enterprise, and, possibly, will, until the beginning of May, when wo hope to present the first number of tho promised “-Romance to the public. The work which we have promised will be an effort to exhibit tho style of life, thought and manners in tho Connecticut Valley two cen turies ago. Tho characters introduced will bo real ones, mid tho framework of tho story will bo historical. That the Connecticut River is not a classic stream, and that its beautiful banks, like those of the Hudson, are not charmed ground, is not the fault of the men whoso lives were associ ated with them in the early days; but, of their sons, who have refused to rescue the legend, and preserve the record, and perpetuate the memory, of some of the noblest ancestry of which man may boast. The men and women who settled Hartford and Springfield and Northampton and Hadley were types, or specimens, of a humanity which, in bight and breadth and depth and strength, was altogether the superior of that which inhabited the decupled breeches and forty-fold petticoats of New Amsterdam. What should have been done before, and by others, touching these early set tlers nd their times, we propose the endeavor to do; and wo have been much gratified by the in terest already popularly manifested in the project, and anticipate much pleasure in the task of lead ing our readers' among the lights and shadows of the long past. The Foreign News. No doubt was entertained in England of the fact of the Czar’s death. The telegraphic report from Washington that the Russian minist r had pronounced the reported death of Nicholas a hoax, turns out to be itself a hoax. No such opinion lias been expressed by the minister, who agrees with the other foreign ambassadors in giv ing credit to it. Its correctness assumes the high est degree of probability from the fact that the court of Prussia had been previously informed of his dangerous illness and the decision of the phy sicians that he could not recover. Ou account of this news the dinner at the Prussian court in hon or of Lord John Russell was deferred. Tho an nouncement of the Emperor’s death was there fore expected and was fully credited. By the next steamer, the Atlantic, due at New York Fri day, we shall probably receive confirmation and full particulars of the death of the Emperor of Russia, and some account of the immediate re sults of so important an event, in its relations to the peace of Europe. The new aspect given to affairs will render the expected news important and interesting. The riots in Australia in opposition to the col lection of the government license—tho tax upon miners—had assumed the form of an organized rebellion, early in December, and some of the miners had raised the standard of independence. The diggers had armed themselves, and m sever al engagements with the troops a few had been killed on both sides. Melbourne was in a state of great excitement, and every person in the ser vice of the government had been sworn in as a spe cial constable. Martial law had been proclaimed in the disturbed district, and the soldiers were kept in constant readiness for action. At Mel bourne as well as at the diggings, monster meet ings of the people had been held, at which the liberation of all digger prisoners was demanded and also the dismissal of Mr Foster, the colonial secretary, who had been specially active in caus ing arrests of rioters. The Argus, the govern ment paper, declares that the colony is in a state of civil war, but that the respectable classes arc with the government. The loss of the French frigate Semilanto with 700 men on board, is confirmed, and had created a most painful sensation at Paris. —The report that 20,000, out of 45,000 Russians going to the Crimea witlr Prince Alexander, had perished by exposure, had not been confirmed, and was not generally credited. —An English prisoner who es caped from Sebastopol, gave a gloomy picture of the condition of the Bussian forces; be reported them so dsarrnngid the compasses that the ship bad to layby ter eighteen hours.

THE LEGISLATURE. From Oar Own Correspondent. Boston, Friday, March Ift. It would hardly do for mo to point to uiy Utter of yesterday us illustrative of the fact thnt the boat may miss it, bit. I certainly erred, neverthc loss, when I stated that the Senate did uo busi ness. It was understood that the Senate would unite with the Home in attending the funeral of Hr Lyon, the deceased representative front Lynn, and on the strength of tills understanding 1 made the announcement in question. Th Senate did not accompany the II m>e however, but applied itself to b isineM with quite a gratifying approach to succasi. It Ils ware reported to incorporate the English and classical school in Newton, to amend the charter of the Bn ton iron company, and re lating to the tiling of bon is of executors. The follow.n j bills ware or lured to be engrossed: to perpetuate evidence of the appointment of exe cutors and alm nistrators; to authorize the town of We t GunbridgO to establish a lire di puri ment; to au.horize the Charles river railroad company to change their location and extend their line. This last bill win pasted to b. engrossed with out a dissenting vote, and when it was ordered to n third r ading but one senator voted e ther w.iy. The b 11 to d.vide the town of Andover and to in corporate th town of North Andover, was indef initely postponed, alter a lengthy debate, by a vote of lii to 9. A m ition was made t reconsid er, the discu sion of which occupied the Senate this mom ng up to the tuna of my leaving tbs State House. The petition of S. A. Miller and thirty-throe others of Ludlow, for n commission to vis.t nun neries, schools, &c., the petition of the select men and school committee of West Springfield fora portion of the school money, and the re monstrance of the town of West Springfield against a division of the town, were severally presented in the House this morning; an inquiry was ordered as to the expediency of selling all the stocks held by the state, out of the common wealth; and the snuff and tobicco boxes wore ordered to be removed from the clerk's desk.— This last measure was designed to appease the extra temperance members from Boston, who op pose the liquor bill because it dots not go tar enough. Bills were reported—to establish the pay of assessors; to incorporate the Straitsvillo Iron company; to incorporate the Boston and Worcester railroad benefit assoc ation; and to change the name of the East Bridgewater Iron company. The House ent'red upon the consideration of the liquor bill at an early hour, the question be ing upon an amendment offered by Mr Bull of Concord to leave it discretionary with t ie courts to inflict imprisonment or not, as well as tines, for the first offense. The amendment was advo cated by th mover, Williams of Cmtbridge, War ner of Northampton, (all friends of the bill) and Otis of Rochester; and was opposed by Slack of Boston, 11' ington of Westboro, Stone of Boston, Davis of Fall E ver, Nyo of Tisbury, Brown of Fitchburg and Vose of Boston. The discussion was the most piquant and exciting that has oc curred during the session. The amendment wm rejected by a large majority. The discussion was then resumed upon the bill itself, Messrs Brayton, Munroe, Lovell and Vose, all of Boston, speaking at length against it. It is a striking circumstance that nearly all the speech es against the b il, as well as most of the opposi tion to it, come from Boston members. Mr C.ia pin of Worcester made a cutting reply to these gentleman, commenting with such severity upon their course its to produce a high state of excite ment,in the midst of which the House adjourn d. The bill is now perfected in the estimation of Its friends, and the vote on passing it to a third reading will probably be taken by yeas and nays on Tuesday next. The only essential alteration it has undergone since it camo from the Senate, con sists in an amendm.-nt providing that any officer who shall neglect or refuse to serve any warrant authorized by ihe act shall be iiabie to a fine not exceeding 81,000, audit shall be a sufficient cause for his removal from office; and for any loss or damage ho may incur in consequ neo of serving any such warrant or precept, indemnity, If claim ed, shall be claimed of the commonw alth, after the loss or damage sustained, and in no other manner. It is confidently anticipated that this provision will secure the enforcement of the law, even in the city of Boston. CV Boston, Saturday, March 17. The first exhibition of downright rowdyism that has tak- n place in the Massachusetts legis lature Illis year, if not in a long series of years, occur ed in the House bn Friday, just be fore the adjournment. Mr Pierce of Boston took the floor to reply to the remarks of Mr Chapin, when another member arose to propound a ques tion or raise a point of order. Mr P.orce, highly excited, threw down a paper which he held in his hand, stepped upon the platform and with violent gesticulations and in a loud voice exclaimed: '“By God, I Will not be called to order; I'm a Boston boy and w.ll speak.” Such an explosion of vul gar wrath might, have been proper enough, per haps, on the floor of Congress; at least it would not have s mnded very strange there, but.in the Massachusetts legislature it was decidedly out of place. And I confess that my mortification is somewhat enhanc'd by the reflection that it came from a mm who w is but recently an aspirant for gubernatorial honors, and at a still later date a candidate for the speakership. He had his back ers for both places, and I can scarcely be suffi ciently thankful now that they w re so few. In the Haute, to-day, the subject of railroad erossihgs in the city of Boston was referred to a joint special committee the petitioners for an am rndment of th: constitution reducing tin- term of resid nee necessary to qualify voters, had leave to withdraw; n special committee of one from each county, to consider the expediency of re moving the soqt of gov rnment to some more central location, was ordered; a bill was reported to prevent the exclusion of childre n from th pub lic schools on account of color or religious opin ions; and after a brief but exciting debate Wednesday next at 12 o’clock was assigned for taking the vote on passing the liquor b il to a third re id ng. The bill to an horize the Charles River railroad company to ext nd and alter the lino of their ro id, passed to a third reading under a suspens on of the rules. In the S nate on Friday, bills were report'd to incorporate the N;w England Scandinavian be nevolent relief society, and to authorize the Greenfield Tool company to issue preferred stock. The committee on prisons were d rected to inquire into the expediency of furnishing the house of the warden of the state prison, on Ihe ground, I conclude, that his salary is not sufficient to justi fying him in furnishing it himself. Mr Palmorof Berkshire mad another abortive attempt to shorten th: session—Mr II ill of Plymouth re marking that ‘tho idea of a short session seemed like a poeticd fiction;” the b.ll cone rning tho Stoneham branch railroad was denied a third reading; and the vote whereby the b il to divide ths town of Andover, &e., was indefin toly post poned, win reconsidered. The follow.ng bills were p issed to be engrossed:—To amend an act entitled an act concerning I lie publication of the condt.on of b inks; to establish a police c »urt in tho town of 0 i copcc; to regulate sidewalks in thoc'tyof Rixbury; to regulate the er-ction of wiodmbtiild.ngs in the city of N w B dford; to aa horizo Bam ibis W.

Ten Days Liter from Cnlifornln, Tho California steamer Northern L'gbt ar rived nt N w York M mday mftming, wnh Sm Francisco news to tho 26th of February. Sho brought 242 passengers, aud only S'JJJHW in gold dust. Her commercial news is highly Important, and will bn found In our mon y and business column. Owing to the scarcity of water, but lit tle gold dust had boon taken from the mines, but heavy rains commenced on tho 25th and continu ed when the steamer est. There Ims been no election of U. 8. senator, tho joint convention having adjourned sine die on tho 26th ult. by a vote of u 3 to 41. Those voting in iho minority wore principally tho friends of Dr Gwinn. The news from K'm river is of an exciting character. Tho miners are said to be averaging from ten io twenty dollars per day. The steam ers from San I’idro, the nearest point of disem barking for l he mines, were going down, crowded with passengers. The Mariposa gold mining company, a London concern, hit., been sold by the sheriff. Washington’s birth day was celebrated in San Franc.rco by a firemen’s parade and appropriate ceremonies at the Metropolitan theater. O.i the morning of the 18di, the St. Charles Hotel, and Williams Hotel, in Sm Francisco, were destroyed by fire. Loss 850,000. In Nevada, sixteen houses were burned on the llitli, and in S.ockion twenty-five houses were destroy'd by lire on the 21st.—R idm in Backus, indicted for the murder of Frederick Coleman, had been found guilty of manslaughter.—lndian troubles appear io be on Ilie Increase, some ten white men and about seventy Indians having been killed.—The native O difornians still agitated the matter of re moval to Californio, and had held several meet ings in reference to it. The Oregon legislature adjourned Feb. Ist. The legislature of Washington had made Olym pia th- capital of that territory. In Central America, Chonoro still succeeded, having taken all ihe towns occupied by the revo lutionists, excepi L on. At S m Juin, N coragua, the people were anx iously looking for Col Kinney andhis party. The British war steamer Devastation was in the har bor. Tho news from Australia via C difornin, is 18 days later than that brought by the Africa, via Europe. On the 4th of December an ir r gular Battle was fought between the miners and tin-troops. Seven hundred soldiers and one hun dred and fifty mounted troopers proceeded to the Eureka camp, and fired on the insurgents; about 12were killed and several wound d. The exact number could not be ascertained. Two soldiers were killed on the spot, several wounded, four or five of whom subsequently died. It was also rumored that fifteen mounted troopers had been shot from the bush. A reward of i-iOO is offered for the body of one of the ringleaders, dead or anve. The miners have resolved to pay no more licenses, and everything leads to the supposition that the mining districts are in an absolute state of revolution. Cribnn Revolntionlsts Sentenced. At last dates from Cuba, 14th, the ‘fiscal court’ had sentenced Ramon Pinto to death, Ju inCa dibzo to ten years’ imprisonment and Nicholas Pinelo to banishment, for conspiracy against the government; but the military court had revised the cases and sentenced them all to death. The foreign ambassadors Ijtid called on the Captain General to induce him to extend his clemency to the uuforfunate men, but they were refused ad mission, and the execution of Pinto was shortly expected. Everything was quiet at Havana, and business wss improving. Judge Loring’s Case. The legislative committee on the remoral of Judge Loring, is divided in opinion, and there will be two rep rts. The majority report, drawn up by Senator Albee of Middlesex, favors the re moval, and is signed by four members of the committee, while the minority report, drawn up by Senator P.crco of Norfolk, is signed by two members and disapproves of the proposed re moval. The o her member has not yet signed either report, hnt agrees in opinion with the ma jority. Thb KtnirnociTT Treaty with British America. —The several provincial parliaments and ihe supreme one of all at home having given their official approvals to the commercial treaty recently negotiated between Great Britain and the United States, for the free passage of products between the territory of the latter and thnt of the former on this continent, the measure has now gone into full and active operation. President Pierce has issued his proclamation to that effect. Tiie following is a list of the productions which, by this arrangement, may be freely exchanged with our Canadian aud Nova Scotian neighbors: Grain, flour, and breadstuff’s of all kinds; ani mals of all kinds; fresh, smoked and salted meats; cottonwood; seeds and vegetables; un dri dfrui s; dried f.uits; fish of all kinds; pro ducts of fish aud all oiher creatures living in tho wa.cr; poultry; eggs; hides; furs; skins; or ti ls u idressed; stone or marble in ita crude or unwrought state; slate; batter; eheese; tallow; lard; horns; manures; ores of metals of all kinds; coal; pitch; tar; turpentine; ashes; tim ber and lumber of all kinds; round, hewed and sawol, unmanuflic urod in whole or in part; fire wood; plants; su.ubsand trees; pelts; wool; fish oil; rice; broom com and bark; gypsum, ground or ung’ouiid; hewn or wrought or imwrought burr or grindstones; dye stuffs; flax, lu mp and tow, unmanufactured; unmanufactured tobaccor rags- England Coming to the United States fob Arms. —Robbins L iwrence, the great gun making firm at Windsor, Vt., have recently con tracted to manufacture twenty-five thousand rifles for the British government, and are prepar ing to execute the contract w.th all possible dis patch. They are to bo made after the model fur nished from England. This is an additional feather in Brother Jonathan’s cap. We arc al ready building machinery, at Windsor and Chico pee, to enable England to manufacture her mus kets by the same improved processes that our gov ernment manufactures its muskets; and that trib ute to the superiority of our mechanics and the results of their ingenuity and labor, is now fol lowed up by this other order for a large supply of rifles to be arid in tho pending war. If John Bull has not found out yet who roads an Ameri can book,” he is pulting himself in the way of learning who uws an American gnn. Emory Washburn.—The rumored selection of our worthy ex-governor for the place which Judge Lirlng was deemed unworthy longer to occupy, as law-teacher at Harvard college, is con firmed. Toit, we presume there will be no ob jecton on the part of cither tho public or tho community, and perhaps not, —though this is hardly supposable—-on the part of the New York Tribune. Governor Washburn is a lawyer of rpe aetju emen.s and large experience; a gnuluateof Williams college, and—this is a matter of some sensitiveness in Harvard appointments,—of or thodox religious connections.

Hook and Ladder Company.—That mueb dcslred arm of defense against fires—a hook and ladder company,—was constituted under the au pices of the city fire department on Saturday night. It took (he name of Iho American Hook and Ladder company No. 1, and chose the follow ing officers:Sidney Ross, foreman; A. M. Knight, first assistant; E. A. Moore, second assistant; F. H. Shattuck, clerk and treasurer; and 11. F. Buy ley, steward. Uy The legislative committee on the Berk shire. county scat question returned from their visit to Berkshire on Saturday, having spent the week in visiting the principal towns of tho coun ty, hearing evidence and arguments for and against the proposed removal to Pittsfield, and enjoying tho generously proffered hospitality of the citizens. The principal arguments before the committee were made in Lenox, on Friday eve ning, by 11. L. Dawes of North Adams in favor of the removal, and by Jonathan Field of Stock bridge against it. This may be all labor lost, for the committee come back ‘knowing nothing’ at all upon the subject. Senator Albert J. Wright of Suffolk county, one of the committee, was able to return with the others, notwithstanding the serious accident of breaking one of the small bones of his ancle by slipping upon the ice at North Adams. He cannot use the litnb at prescut. Brimfield. —George Danharn lias captured a largo white owl which has been in that vicinity nearly all winter, making fun for the crows. He is a beautiful bird, measuring five feet from tip to tip of each wing, and when seen in the dis tance appears to be perfectly white, but is on closer inspection spotted with grey. Opinions varied as to bis species until he was captured, but all now agree that he is an owl, and a good looking one at that. “SAM.”S Ticket.—Under this name, the fol lowing ticket for town officers wa» offered to the voters of Northampton yesterday.

Tub Citii.r> Stealing Case.—Tim mother, father and uncle of the little child stolen from tho former by the latter, nt Longmeadow, the other day, lire now In N w York, and the case Is to be judicially examined there. It appears that some months ago the father of the boy left his fiimlly and went to reside nt Richmond, Vn., and recent ly wrote to Ids wife to come with the. child to him; hnt she refused, and he then got his brother to come here, end sti al the boy, and convey him to Richmond. In doing this, lio was stopped at N wYork, ns already de cribod. The husband and father’s name Is John T.

There is no workshop, but the men w >rk at shoemaking in the area m front of the cells, the labor being let out at con tract. There is no hospital or chapel, and th accommodations for bathing and. oilier necessa ries of a prison, except light and ventilation, are verv imperfect. The government appeared to be as good as, and the order and cleanliness much better than, could bo expected from the limited assistance allowed the master and jailer. By the terms of the contract on which the convict labor is let out, the master is deprived of the services of any exoept those who are ill or otherwise in capacitated for use elsewhere. He certainly de serves credit for condu 'ting the institution so well under such cireumst incos. Several im provements have been made upon the premises within the past two years: but the establishment is yet vastly inferior to most of those in other parts of the" State, and infinitely below the stan dard of what should be expected of a county comprising so much of wealth and intelligence.” Worcester County.

THE LEGISLATURE. From Our Own Correspondent. Boston, Tuesday, March 80. You must allow me to make a sort of “Jani” of the two last days' proceedings in the Senate, since I can adjust them to my present allowance of time mid space in no other way. Bills report ed: extending the time for the location and con struction of the Rockport railroad, nnd authoriz ing the company to issue bonds; to incorporate the Jubilee Hill Female Seminary at Pittsfield; au thorizing the sale of ministerial lands by the West Parish iu Haverhill. Passed to be engrossed: bills to regulate the lo cation of lumber yards in the city of New Bed ford; to incorporate the New England Scandina vian Benevolent Relief society; in relation to school reports mid returns; to incorporate the Brookline Hotel company; to incorporate the English nnd Classical school in West Newton; iu addition to an act to incorporate the Boston Iron company; concerning the election of county treasurers mid registers of deeds; to establish a registry of deeds in the northern district of Mid dlesex; to further extend the time for the con struction of the Eastern railroad; limiting the time for bringing actions under chapter 322, acts of 1852 [liquor law]; respecting watchmen; con cerning the taxation of minors; to incorporate the Boston Mutual Benefit association;, authorizing the Greenfield Tool company to issue preferred stock; in addition to an act for the preservation of the grouse or heath hen; relating to filling executors’ bonds. The House resolve to pay the oliaplains one hundred and fifty dollars each was amended, on motion of Mr Pillsbury of Hampden, so as to in crease’ the sum to two hundred dollars. The House bill relative to limiting the time for bring ing actions against magistrates and officers for enforcing the liquor law of 1852, was amended so as to reduce the time in which such actions ihay be brought, from two years to one. The petition of Henry Voso and others of Hampden county, in favor of a division of the Western criminal dis trict, was received and appropriately referred. Bills reported in the House: In addition to an act concerning the observance of the Lord’s day; ceding jurisdiction to the United States over land in Barnstable for a custom house; to amend the charter of the city of Lawrence. An amendment to the constitution, providing that no person shall be imprisoned for any debt hereafter contracted, except in cases of fraud, was reported on Mon day. Passed to be engrossed on the same day: Bills to incorporate the American insurance company; to continue in force the act to incorporate the South Hadley Falls bridge company; to incor porate the Stoneham five cents savings bank; to regulate the business of pawn brokers; to in corporate the Shelburne Falls five cents savings bank; to abolish the office of crier of courts; to extend the time for the construction of the Mill bury and Southbridge railroad; to make pews personal property; relative to state paupers; con cerning the payment of teachers’ wages; to pre vent delays and expense in criminal proceed ings; to authorize the making of roads and drains in certain cases; in relation to libels for divorce; concerning the sales of real estate encumbered by mortgage or otherwise; in addition to an act concerning hawkers and pedlars; further to pre vent and punish fraudulent arrests; tocstablish a board of insurance commissioners; ceding juris diction to the United States over lands in Barn stable for a custom house; to change the name of the Berkshire Mutual Life Insurance compa ny; to punish certain frauds and cheats; resolves concerning the procurement of books, &c., for the use of the inmates of the various public charita ble institutions of this commonwealth; relating to the duties on foreign coal; concerning the attor tomey general’s office; in favor of Lyman Web ster.

The ten hour law was the absorbing subject of discussion in the House yesterday, but without result. In the same branch to-day the petition of nine hundred and eighty-four inhabitants of Chicopee, for the pasSflgo of a ten hour law, was presented; and resolves were reported concerning the insti tution for the education of idiotic and feeble minded persons, appropriating $25,000 for the same on condition that the trustees raise $5,000; in aid of the American Institute of instruction; in favor of Normal schools and school agents, appropriating fifteen hundred dollars to purchase for the state the right which a school district has to the use of the lower story of the state Normal school house in Westfield, &c.

The motion was denied by a strong vote. After the expiration of the morning hour m the Senate this morning, the motion to reconsid er the bill concerning the duties and rights of ju rors previously passed to be engrossed, was tak en up and discussed at great length. The committee on the removal of Judge Lor ing have made up their reports, which arc now in the hands of the printer and will be likely to be presented to-morrow, or next day at farthest. The majority report, drawn by Mr Albee of the Senate and signed by Messrs Stone, Knowles and Warner of the House, recommends the judge’s removal; Messrs Pierce of the Senate and Gould of the House, unite in a report against his re moval, on the ground that his conduct in the Burns case conflicted with no statute of the com monwealth and no expression of public senti ment in his district; Mr Devereux of the House differs from all of his colleagues, and opposes the removal for reasons of his own, which may doubtless be found in his undiluted hunkerism. Boston, Wednesday, March 21. The Senate did not come to a vote yesterday on the motion to reconsider the vote whereby the bill relating to the rights and duties of jurors was ordered to be engrossed. Mr Denny of Wor cester introduced a bill on leave,. concerning man ufacturing corporations, authorizing the issue of special stock and making a distinction between general and special stock; holders of general stock to be personally liable for the debts of cor porations, and holders of special stock to be paid a semi-annual dividend not exceeding four per cent. In the House, this morning, a petition from six hundred and twenty operatives of Lowell, for an eleven hour law, was presented; an order to limit speeches to fifteen minutes for the remain der of the session, w^ vote d down, 96 to 61; to morrow. Thur^y^ at ono o c io e k, was specially assigned for the’ further consideration of the Charles P^ver railroad bill, which will ultimately pass hy a strong vote; inexpedient to legislate Wig reported on the subject of a law to secure uniformity in bank bills; and also as to a law to protect the, owners of lartfls from the depredations of fowls. Bills reported: relating to ordinances and by laws of cities and towns; concerning the Charles town branch railroad; relating to the seals of corporations; to authorize Isaiah Turner to build a wharf; relating to the limitation of actions.' Resolves: on the petition of Oliver Fosgate, trus tee, authorizing him to sell real estate in Green wich; authorizing the governor to appoint a commission for the pnrehase of lands in West boro,—an old document in a new dress. At twelve o’clock the question was taken on passing the liquor bill to a third reading, and it was carried by a vote of 28-1 to 41. There were fifty-two absentees. Messrs Gott of Westfield and Brown of Tolland were absent on coihmfttees. The Boston members behaved very well, all things considered,—only fifteen of them dodged, and but twelve voted against the bill. The following members of the western counties voted against the bill: Morgan L. Boughton of West Stockbridge, Abner Brown of Egremont, Homan Laflin of Southwick, Graham A. Root of Sheffield. Samuel W. White of Shntesbury, Wil liam H. Winter of Prescott. All the rest voted yea, save the few absent. The rest of the day was devoted to the discus sion of the ten hour law, the question being up on an amendment to substitute eleven for ten hours. A bill was reported in the Senate this morning, to extend the time for constructing the Ware River railroad. The throe reports upon the subject of the re moval of Judge Loring will be presented in the House to-morrow. Messrs Pierce mid Gould do not oppose the removal; they merely decline sub scribing to the majority report, and assign their reasons therefor. [jy Boston, Thursday, March 22.

A re solve was reported on tlm petition of the Union charitable society. The resolves on the fugitive slave bill were also passed to be engrossed, after a long and silly discussion on a mere technical point.

Dr Stone of Boston made an abortive effort to shorten the session this morning, by introducing an order instructing the committee on the pay roll to make up the roll at the end of the session for one hundred days and no longer. The learn ed doctor got un essential combing down from Mr Prince of Essex, and his proposition got as decisive a voting down from the House. The re ports of the committee on federal relations, on the subject of the removal of J udge Loring, were submitted, and five thousand extra copies ordered to be printed. Tuesday next at eleven o’clock was assigned for the consideration of the subject. An order of notice on the petition of Chester W. Chapin, in behalf of the Western railroad corpor ation, was concurred in. Ry Judge Daring's Case* We do not need to spread before our readers the several reports from the. committee of the legislature that have examined the question of the removal of Judge Loring. That of the ma jority very ably and elaborately argues the case for the removal; that of Mr Devereux of Salem, less elaborately, but certainly not less ably, ar gues against such an act. Th main points of the discussion on both sides have appeared in Hie somewhat unusually full treatment of the subject by the Republican and its correspondents. The reports add new illustrations and some de tails of evidence; but bring nothing essentially new to those who discussed the matter with the Republican. The majority of the committee adopt as the chief texts of their argument upon the facts in Judge Loring’s case, these pregnant quotations, the first from Blackstone, and the second from the declaration of rights that forms the basis of the government of our commonwealth: The law of nature, being coeval with mankind and dictated by God himself, is of course superi or in obligation to any other, it s binding over all the globe, in all countries and at all times; no human laws are of any validity if contrary to this; and such of them as are’ valid derive all their force and all their authority, mediately or immediately, from this original.” “All power residing originally in the people, and being derived from them, the several magis trates and officers of government vested with authority, whether legislative, executive or judi cial, are their substitutes and agents, and are at all times accountable to them.” ■The majority report shows, most completely, the power and right of removal; and arguing a loss of public confidence in Judge Loring, from the history of his connection with the fugitive slave case of Anthony Burns, into which they go with some particularity, proving the charges brought against him iu connection therewith,—the com mittee conclude as follows: Men are but shadows. Right is eternal. Jus tice is everlasting. On the statute books ofMass achusetts, from 1836 down to the present time, as has been shown, are recorded the deliberate, de cided, avowed sentiments of all parties in relation to human rights and liberties. The sentiment of the state has not been to nul lify or resist the law. It has seen its own citizens imprisoned and sold, its legal agent, Mr Hoar, insulted and injured abroad, its offices and build ings prostituted at home, but it trusted to the protection of the law. It has endured once and again the execution of an enactment that annuls the law of God, tramples down the barriers of the constitution and the rights of man. Yet the people mobbed no one for aiding in it. But the people do look on it as sinful and crimi nal to volunteer in such service. They cannot respect those who do it. They loathe to see or approach him who has received the price of his brother as they do the executioner, and cannot bear to seo hint in any office of honor or trust within the gift of Massachuseets. It is sufficient for the committee to know that Judge Loring has sinned against the moral senti ment of Massachusetts; that under a law which the conscience of Massachusetts abhors, which her Christianity repudiates, which her reason pro nounces unconstitutional, and “against law and evidence,” he has made a man a slave. The people therefore demand Ids removal from the office of judge of probate.” We are only strengthened in our convictions by the pcrnsal of this renewed and more, elaborate discussion! that the removal of Judge Loring is a measure due to the moral feeling of Massachu setts, and an act of wise conservatism in connec tion with the character of our judiciary, and the hold it has upon the people of the state. We presume it will be voted, upon these grounds, by one if not by both branches of the legislature; but the indications are not favorable to its ulti mate and complete success. And we arc disposed to the opinion that the result will remove the ap prehensions in some minds that the power iu the constitution, under which the proposed action is Bought, is a dangerous power, and liable to great abuse, if a precedent be only once established. The greatest fear we have is that we can never get a precedent. Consul Hopkins in Pabagvay.—The offi cial paper of the government of Paraguay publish es the correspondence of that government with our Consul Hopkins, in respect to certain difficul ties that have already been related. The docu ments, and the comments of the editor, place the consul in a rather ridiculous position. But it is sufficient, as they do in the legislature, to read them by their titles, as for instance; Consul Hop kins gives warning to the Paraguayan minister; Consul Hopkins complains that his passport was not respected; Consul Hopkins is told he is mis taken and at fault about the passport; Consul Hopkins is accused of smuggling; Consul Hop kins is accused of injustice and cruelty to his la borers; Consul Hopkins is caught robbing a man of his rail fence and cutting his trees; Consul Hopkins makes absurd and unreasonable de mands at the custom house; Consul Hopkins bears himself with very undignified deportment; Consul Hopkins proposes to open an agricultural school and gets laughed at; Consul Hopkins sub sides. THE SPRINGFIELD WEEKLY REPUBLICAN: SATURDAY, MARCH 24, 1855. LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. Court or Common Pleas—Hampden Coun ty.—ln the Case oftho Westfield bank against Ed ward Cheesman of Hinsdale, the jury returned a verdict for the defendant; Chapman and Batos for bank, Colt of Pittsfield and Chamberlin for defendant.—ln that of Dr 11. R. Vallie against Michael Sullivan, for medical services, verdict for defendant on the ground that plaintiff agreed not to charge Sullivan, but look to the Western rail road for pay; J. M. Stebbins for plaintiff, Soule for defendant.—The case of Dr Woolworth against the town of Westfield is now on trial. Love vs Law—Verdict fob Plaintiff.— That fruitful theme for paragraphs, the child stealing cose, has deserted us; and this is our last. The wife and mother has capitulated on honor able conditions, and consented to Join her hus band with the child at his present home in Rich mond. The suit against the husband’s brother for kidnapping has been settled and withdrawn; and “all’s well that cndswelll” Ry The legislative committees on prisons and charitable institutions came up from Boston on Tuesday night, and visited the Hampden county jail and house of correction on Wednesday morn ing. The governor and council came up in the morning train and being joined by the commit tees, both bodies continued on to Hartford for an official visit to the deaf and dumb asylum, of which our state is a patron, and the other chari table and reformatory institutions of that vicin age. Mr Hall of Plymouth, memberof Congress elect, and Mr Goff of Westfield were of the party, as members of the committees; and of the rest, besides the governor and the members of the council and committees, were lieutenant governor Brown, Col Conkey of the governor’s staff, the immortal Brown of Tolland, and many other rep resentatives. Qy'Gov Gardner and his council, with the committees of the legislature, who went to Hart ford on Wednesday, returned to Springfield the next day, and after spending some hours here went on to Boston in the evening. Their visit to Hartford was a very pleasant one, and among the institutions which they visited was Col Colt’s pistol manufactory. Their visit to the deaf and dumb asylum was of course the chief object of interest, the pupils giving an exhibition of their powers under the development of the system of education there adopted. Gov Gardner and May or Deming of Hartford and others of the digni taries made speeches. Ry The Northampton town election on Mon day was not a ‘hard-foughtbattle,’ and a citizens’ temperance ticket was successful. The know nothings did not make a great show. Some np there have‘sorter lost their interest,’and others have been kicked out. The latter are wonderful ly independent politicians. In Ware, the know nothings knew not defeat. CT" The South River Cutlery company of Con way have sold their establishment and tools and unfinished stock for $20,000 to Messrs Lathrop, Clary, Lorenzo Rice, Burke and Bement (of Ash field), who will carry on the business as a private concern. The property sold cost the company $52,000, and the difference is not all their loss. It is a sad case of ill-luck and mismanagement. Dy Wright Holcomb of Lee drew ‘Lieben i stein on the Rhine,’ and W. H. Phillips of North Adams, ‘ltalian Scenes,’ paintings, at the San i dusky distribution of prizes by the Co*iopolitan Art Association. None other in these parts. Obtaining money under false Preten ces.—D. B. Taylor, formerly employed in the armory in this city but more recently at Sharp’s rifle factory in Hartford, has fallen a victim to the amount of $250, which money was drawn from the Springfield Institution of Savings, where he had deposited it a few years since, by Hon Starkweather, who stole the bank book and pre tending to be the brother of the depositor drew the amount on Saturday last. It seems that Starkweather on stealing the bank book deposited another in its place so that Mr Taylor did not dis cover his loss until the sudden disappearance of S. led him to suspect that alt was not right, when he came immediately to this city and found that the money had been taken. Starkweather worked in the same shop with Mr Taylor, has a wife and family in New Hampshire, and is said to have served out an apprentieship in prison only a few months ago. Mr T. has gone to New Hampshire, but it is not certain that Starkweather took Riat direction in Ids flight.

Napoleon’s Scheme.—lt is suggested in pri vate letters from Paris, that Napoleon’s real pur pose is not to visit the Crimea, bin to march through Prussia, if she consents, and over her if she resists, into Poland. It is said that the allies have abandoned all hope of taking Sebastopol, and that the talk about Napoleon’s going there and the proposed opposition of England, is a mere ruse to cover up the grand scheme of a sudden march upon Russian Poland. The story is somewhat plausible, more so certainly than the alleged intention, of Napoleon to take 'the direc tion of affairs at Sebastopol, under the present hopeless circumstances. At Nebraska city, on the lowa line of the new territory, there are many rumors afloat of coming trouble with the Indians of the North. The Yanetons, Puncas, and other bands of the Sioux, are manifesting a very unfriendly spirit to the whites. In Nebraska, they have killed a tra der named Martin, in the employ of the Ameri can fur company, and threaten that no white man shall pass through their country the ensuing spring on their way westward. The legislature has voted to raise three hundred mounted rangers to be ready for immediate and active service. A Colonel has already been appointed and commis sioned by the governor to proceed immediately with raising an army and equipping this force.

The Rochester papers give the evidence be fore the inry in Emma Moore’s case, which con tains nothing to show how she came to her death.

Anthony Burns has returned to Amherst, with improved health. NEWS SUMMARY. Twenty slaves have died of cholera on the plantation of Mr Banon, near Baton Rouge, La. Gov Grimes of lowa is a large stock raiser. He owns 60 mares. 'llie appropriations of the last session of Congress amounted to $70,000. Some patriotic Canadians are raising a battalion of 1000 or 1200 men to be tendered for service in the English army in the east. Perry Denniston, a clerk in the letter de portment of the Chicago post office, has been detected in stealing money kuers, and arrested. Mrs Bond of Allegan, Mich., whose hus band is in California, recently died from exposure while insane with spiritualism. A coroner's jury in Warren county. Miss., lately returned a verdict ‘that the deceased died from the visitation of God, or Kme Mur dixate unknown to the jury.’ The body of the long missing Emma Moore was found under the ice in the mill race at Roch ester, N. Y., Monday afternoon, and was identi fied by the ear jewels and bonnet. A freight train passed over the Niagara suspen-ion bridge, Saturday, weighing 300 tuns and extending from tower to tower, settling the bridge less than three inches. The New York police numbers 1,149; na tives of the United States 718, of foreign coun tries 417, of Ireland 305; been in state prison 39, of whom 24 are Americans and 15 foreigners. The foundry of C. M. Russell Co., in Massilon, Ohio,'was blown down on the 13th inst. and John Young was killed by the failing of the wall. Ruse n Co.’s loss is $2,500. In the pending sale of Mr Webster’s prop erty at Marshfield is not included the homestead with the few acres surrounding. These are re served by his family. The Maine legislature adjourned on Sat urday, after a session of 76 days. It stiffened up I the ‘Maine law’ by sneh provisions as our legis- I lature has before it. Three of the persons injured at Meredith, N. H., have died; James Dargin, Nathaniel Nichols and Washington Smith. It is thought that three or four others eannot live. William J. Valentine. No. 7 Rue de la Paix, Paris. France, has been appointed by Gov. Gardner to act in behalf of Massachusetts, his native state, at the great industrial fair In Paris this spring. An Irish Catholic named Sullivan in Spen cerport, N. Y., got mad on Friday evening, Sth, because his wile forgot what day of the week it was and sent him a meat dinner while employed away from home, and feeling anxious to vindi cate his religion he beat her to death. Syracuse boasts of -one of the babies'—a German infant ten months old, which weighs 45 pounds, measures 12 inches round the knee, 17 round the thigh, and 11 round the calf of the leg; has four teeth in the upper jaw and two in the lower, and is 31 inches high. The British recruiting officer in New York offers able-bodied men eight dollars per month and board and clothing, to serve her majesty three or five years, in the Crimea or elsewhere. The soldiers Queen Victoria gets here on such terms will lie worth looking at as a natural curi osity. A Mr Field of New York city, went into a barber’s shop at Dunkirk to get shaved on Thursday evening last week. He remembers nothing further, only that he took a seat, and when he came to consciousness found himself robbed of SI2OO. Chloroform is supposed to have been used, and the barber has fled. N. Seymour Webb of Hartford Las been appointed a captain in one of the n- w regiments (10th), and Lyman Bissell of New Haven a first lieutenant in the other (9th.) Both served in the Mexican war with credit as volunteers, and owe their present permanent appointments in the ar my to the fame there won. The forged drafts upon merchant- in New Bedford, which have come to hand from some of the whaling ports of the Pacific during the last two months, already amount to about $20,- 000. Two of those, amounting to abou: two or three thousand dollars, were unfortunately ac cepted before the discovery of the fraud. The others have been refused. The corruption of the New York police i is getting developed, and is most astonishing. An’ investigation is going on, which implicates a large number of them in the practise of levy ing ‘hush money’ from the keepers of disorderly houses. The houses that would not pay a heavy tax to these policemen, were proceeded against and broken up. A pretty young -school-marm’ of Wyan dott, Pa., lately got into a snow-ball match with a lad of the school, who proved too much for her, washed her face with snow, and then, strong ly tempted by the reddened cheeks, imprinted a kiss upon them. For this impertinence the pret ty ‘school-marm’ bad the lad arrested for assault and battery, which was very nnpretty on her part. Several steamers have recently been em ployed in transporting government stores to the troops in Florida, in preparation for the contem plated war upon the Seminoles, who will probab ly be spcedly exterminated or driven from their concealments iu the forests. The waeons fur nished to the troops are simply Francis’ life-boats on wheels, that may- be used in crossing the over flowed swamps. Never have we seen at this season so many bills of houses ‘to let” and “for sale.” Land lords abound, but tenants are scarce. We who hired a month ago find, to our mortification, that our landlord rents the house next us tor 850 less than he took from us for its counterpart, and will probably, a month hence, take SSO still less for its twin on tho same block. Waiting is not a bad trick for tenants yet. Hao York Tim. s. A colored woman, 115 years old, died late ly in a New Jersey poor house. When a child she was stolen from Africa, and remembered that the slave catchers took the jewels from her ears. She was first brought to South Carolina and from thence to New Jersey, where for a time she was owned as a slave. Four generations of her des cendants were present at herfuncral, tho dead and living making five generations. The drought of last autumn and the severe cold of the winter have been fatal to the sheep of the West. The farmers of Carroll county, Ohio, have lost a very large number of sheep. Ono man’s flock iu that county has suffered a diminution of 500 head. Almost every sheep grower has sustained loss. The clip of the great wool region of Ohio will be considerably reduced from that of last year. While Father Moriarty was pronouncing his sermon on the death of St. Patrick, at the New York cathedral last Saturday, he made a long and apparently angry ‘point’; then pointing his finger to a veang lady no passionately said, ‘Take down that eye-glass ma’m, take down that eye-glass.—you Can see me well enough without it, I’m sufficiently big enough to be seen without nn eye-glass. And, don’t be making signs at that other girl and making her laugh.’ The judges, territorial officers and mer chants of Salt Lake city, with Col Steptoe and his officers, signed a petition for the re-appomtment of Brigham Young as governor of Utah, but too late a« Col Steptoe had been appointed before the petition reached Washington. The authorities of &t Lake city hare abolished all licenses for the sale of spiritous liquors, and mi effort will be made to pass a prohibitory law. Colonel Steptoe has sent men to explore a new route to Califor nia, which decreases the distance some two hun dred and fifty miles, below that of the road north of Salt Lake. The stories about ‘big lumps’ and ‘rich dig gings,’ in the California papers, are pronounced false bv a miner who writes home to Rochester, N. Y’. He says he has visited several of the lo cations thus advertised, and found that the stories have little or no foundation, but were got up by traders and speculators in claims. In one in stance, an Italian at Columbia found a nugget weighing nine ounces —about the size of a hen s egg. When it reached San Francisco it was pub lished fiv the papers as weighing nine pounds. Ju<t so the store of a large nugget found in Cala veras eountv was exaggerated from nothing—for even the agents of Adams’s Express, who were reported to have taken it to San Francisco, had not seen the chunk at last accounts. He consid ers mining as on the whole poor business; where one makes a pile, a thousand toil hard for a bare subsistence. 5
