SCRIPT greets its readers and wishes them a “Merry Christmas.” This is the time for social greetings and merry evety one of our readers may have joy Of another Christmas. Among ail the Christmas customs we think of none . that are-so pleasant as those of a social character. There is certainly no place wherea man ean find so much pleasure &s in watching the countendnces of the , little ones as happy hearts maké win‘dows of bright eyes, and the little voices shout praises ot the gifts bestowed upon them by Santa Claus. Then, for grown people, too, the Christmas festival is an oasis in the long, dreary desert of toil and trial. Then it is that the perplexities of life and business are for the time thrown off as an old garment, and happiness assumes the sway. The tables to-day, will be spread with the richest of viands, and friends will collect around the festive board, and endeavor to help each other pass the . day happily. Christmas is a time when all the better feelings of nature should be brought ‘into play, and the baser'’ forgotten. Let those who are able see’ that the needy are supplied with something to make them remember the annual festival, and:also the kind hand that brings them cheer. te A Sgconp Epition.—On Monday night we were. visited by a second edition of the storm of Sunday night. The last storm was more violent than the first. The rain came down in torrents and the wind blew terrifically. — is blown down and the ronds in every diféétion are more of less obstructed by Creek, near ‘Sacramento street, came ‘and yesterday the huge trunk lay in the creek, The waters of the creek at 9 o'clock were higher than ever known before. A gentleman who lives up near Scott's Flat, informs us that immense quantities of heavy timber were swept down the creek, and at times the heavy logs would form a barrier and the tim.ber would gather until swept away by the accumulated force of the water with a heavy surge. The rain-fal) measured the same as on Sunday night, 5:80 inches, which fell in 85 hours. ey {#~The Democrats, making so much’ ado about economy before an election and paying no attention to retrenchment afterwards, reminds one of the story of two Irishman, soon after their arrival in America, going along by a pond, and hearing the bull frogs croak at the bottom. It was the first time they ever heard the deep guttural “k’chug” in their lives. They flew about with their shilellehs in search of the animal, now here, now there, but no sign of a beast could they see to make the sounds. At last, one of them approached the other, and said “Be dad, Mike, I blave its w hl hee STATE EXEMPTIONS.—Attorney General Stanbery’s opinion, as piven by. the Washington Chronicle, is, that “neither railroads owned by a. State, nor the gross earnings theteof, hor the profits accumulated . there-from, hor the dividends paid upon its bonds nor articles manufactured by conpict labor in the penitentiaties of a § ste for'the use of the State, or of a t of thé State, are subject to taxation, . either under the Act of 1864, or any other of the Internal Revenue Acts,” Tak Courant, was the title of the first daily newspaper printed in the English language, the first: ttumber of which appeared in London, the 11th of March 1702. It was a little half sheet, printed on one side only, and consisting of two columns. It continued until 1725, maintaining the foremost place among the many imitations whieh. speedily ner’g by Stage ged held an over the b who is supposéd to have been poisoned, Justice Palnier acting as Coroner. Ty Sing, the woman who keeps the house in which the death occurred, testified that the name of deceased was Gin Ho, and that she died at'2 o’clock on Saturday night; that she last saw deceased in the frontroom at 8 o'clock. Ah Ki and she Went to het room at 7 o’¢lock and Gin Hocame out at 9 o’¢lock and” got some tea whith she drank. Witness testified that she put nothing ih the tea. door of the room in which deceased slept wasopen and she got up and went in and shook her at 2 o’elock, and found Gin Ho'dead. The witness made-so many different statements in regard to facts and time, that it is hardly worth while-to goover them. Hép Ling,who was with Ty Sing, on the night’of the death, contradicts the first witness in many essential points. He testified that she died on Sunday night at 2 0 called him at 2 o’clock, saying “GinHo no answer,” and:that he went out and. found the door of Gin Ho’s room locked and burst it open; that he and Ty Sing went in and found herdead. Ah Ki testified that the parties eat a supper together, which he bought at a Chinese restaurant, and during the meal deceased said, “I shall never see you any more,” and cried, saying also that Ty Sing abused her. ot to let anybody take her jewelry, but have it burned with her. saw the body on Monday morning, but the jewelry had been taken away. This is the substance of the testimony and.it will be seen that each witness tells a different story. The following gate the death of Gin Ho, do find that the same was caused by poison taken by her own hand.” financial editor complains of the misersble statements made by County Assessors of the number of cattle, horses, trees, vines, &c., &ct, in the lower counties, and says in most cases the statistics furnished amount to nostatis.tics at all, and are worse than nothing. Better that no returns were made than to give such meagre figures, which in nine cases out of ten are the merest guess work, the Assessors taking no notes at allin their travels around the counties. ‘Where but a small part of the real productions of a county are given it tells largely against it in the way of credit, favor of a repeal of the law compelling Assessors to report to the Surveyor General, or else make the Assessors comply with the law to the letter, matter, Any officer who neglects: or refuses to do his duties as required by the law can be deprived of his office, and any Assessor who makes a false report to the Surveyor General is liable to be proceeded against and ousted from his place. delingu to the Statutes. the height of the storm, When the rain’ was coming down in ‘ek wind blowing “great “guns” a Chinese equestrian, mounted on a mule, created great merriipent on Broad street.
