Val-. ley Union, under date of Feb. 2nd, writing from Smartsville says : Satantsvitie, Feb, 2nd, 1877. Ep. Union: I wish to say that the reduction of wages 50 cents per day, was put in force here yesterday, with all the Mining Companies except the Union Company, which is conlowingwhich we feproduée. We A Sure Cure. . i. The Sacramento Bee has the folshould advise any one who is afflicted with eria to at once.send for the pbyseian to be bad, and trust to his skill. The Bee editor however seems to think he has a sure. cure. Here is what he says: Difitheria apdaring tho Summer and Autamn. ance that has been the tule this session, and attests the unflagging interest of almost everyone, great’ and small, male and female, visitors and the matter of , settlement of . the grave question which “has rendered stationary, or actually turned back the tide of renewed prosperity, which in-upon the nation wotke, which we give to our readers: Flat, is 1600 feet in length, and cost $40,000, The North Bloomficldtunnel, at Humbug Canyon, is 8,000 The one run into the Auierican mine at San Juan, is 3,900 feet long and ‘ost $140,000. The one at Sweetland which was run in to tap the Manzanita mine, is 1,740 feet long and coat $62,000. The Sweetland Ureek tunnel-is-2,200-feetlong and cost . resentatives and Senators. Still,’ it aia $90,000. The French Corral mine has been tapped by « tunnel 3,500 fect long, which ‘ost $165,000. There is one being ran at Badger. Hill, which will be 4,400 feet long, and one below Sweetland which will ‘be 2,600 feet Jong, both of which are mot yet completed. The ground owned by the Eureka Lake Company, located ‘at North Bloomfield, will before long be epened, and it borhood of 3,000 or 4,000 feet in length. ‘There are several bed-rock tunnels being ran in other parte old river chanvels are located so far from a proper outlet that they bave to be worked by drifting. Inclines are being sunk in several places to get down to the bed-rock “en “such claims. From the large number of such enterprises now on foot, in connection with the tunnels and shafts completed during the past two years, we feel justified in predicting that the gold yield of the county will “goon begin to show a large increase ver past years, While this gratifying state of affairs exists among gravel mines, the quartz interest is not lagging. Many new and valaable mines have been opened the past year, and developments are. being made ‘on a large number of new fedges, which promise first-rate. Phe county's prospects for the future.were never better. Drainage and Health. Ill health and epidemic disease are attributed, in large cities, to improper or defective drainage. -Physicians and writers for the press all gonclude that when diptheria and kindred diseases prevail to any great extent, the cause may be attributed to the want of proper drainage. ’ ‘While it is true that bad air arising from decaying vegetable or animal matter, under a hot sun, will produce ‘intermitting and remitting diseases, itis not always true that epidemic diseases arise from that cause. A ease in point may be mentioned in Ais county. On the San Juan Ridge, at Columbia Hill, diptheria has been quite prevalent and very fatal. The _ pir there is as pare as mountain air is on a high ridge where there is natural drainage, There is no standng water and bat little vegetation in the vicinity. How oan the theory ot imperfect drainage be applied to that locality. 7s _ Bone inhuman wretch endeavored to perpetrate a wholesale murder recently at Albany, Oregon. One of ~ the’ gent : connected with the Gourt House discovered a bag of arsonic fitted to the pump in sucha ’ mannerthat, when drawing the water, it would percolate the sack and poison the liquid, and be the cause of wholessle slaughter, as the Central School is supplied with water “from the well.

Tomorrow night the German Military Band will appear at the November, rendering the outlook still more gloomy .and forbiding to the reflecting people; and the spirit the place of partizan’ bitterness and determination, has lifted a great barden of despondency from the hearts of tens of thousands of anxious watchers of the disposition of Repgeems wholly gratuitous and in bad taste to denounce dissenters as selfish partisans, devoid of patriotism, bebaune they could not see their way clear to an affirmative vote. Many, no doubt, were alarmed at such a radical departure from custom and tradition and total disregard of precedent. Others, still, were quite as conscientiously anxious for constitutional warrant for any plan that should be adopted, but the majority {tain what weshink 40 be our right, . a ve-seon—ittried forty times, _Lanonmie Man, . never yet failed to work a epeedy Tha horrid front of civilwar-was-at-. -————---—--~ var yak failed. 40 : : : eure; and it was Mainly a gargic~o}go everywhere discernible through}. ‘the smoke of the battle of the 7th of of mutual sacrifice that has taker tinuing to pay $3 per day.

Kelsey was discovered in asitting posture in his boat iu the slough near the city of Stockton, California. It appears the deceased had been. out gunning, and it is supposed that an attack of heart disease, from which he suffered was brought on by over-exertion in rowing, and caused death very suddenly: When found his hands were clasped on the oars, aud his dog lying in front of him in the boat, The deceased gentleman was President of the Stockton Sayings and Loan Bank. ‘Wimp Gogss Strory.—The 1! flocks of geese that are constantly passing over the town are frequently shot at, but they generally fly at too high an altitude to be reached by the leaden missles. Sometimes, however, the shots take effect. The other day we.were watching a flock flying southward, when the report of @ gun was heard, and we saw one of the geese begin to fall slowly. The others, perceiving their comrade was wounded, uttered shrill cries of distress, and sbout a dozen of them flew under the wounded bird, huddiing together so that their backs formed a sort of bed, on which the wounded one rested. They buoyed it up for. some time, the others looking on and ing loud, discordant shrieks.

The burned alum and borax is a great abgorbent—and.a few blasts upon it through.a quill would clear the throat as if scraped with a scraper; then © -wet towel placed outside, or if need be, @ poultice ofice to allay the ingo good, and every case got well. We now see in an English paper what is pronoanced there, ‘a -wonderful and certain cure for dipthetia,’ which is simply a gargle of salphur water and a few blasts of the. flour of sulphur blown through a quill into the throat! And we may hére say that we can, from our own experience well believe this to be i. excellent remedy, and perhaps the best yet discovered. The flour of salphar isa powerful absorbent and will, as it were, eat up the fangus instantly and prevent it from spreading, just as the burned alum and borax did. Itis simple, easily oband it can dono harm while it will be sure to do good, if it doesnot entirely cure! : Bat here is what an Englishman says on the subject: “‘When diptheria was raging in England lately, I accompanied Dr. Field on his rounds to witness the so-called ‘wonderful cares’ he performed, while the patients of others wete dropping “ou all sides. The remedy tobeso rapid must be simle. All he took with him was power of sulphur and a quill,’ and with these he cured every patient without exception. He put a teaspoonful of flour of brimstone in a wine glass of water, and stirred it with his finoo of a spoon, as sulphur 3 not’ readily amalgamate with water. When the sulphor was well mixed-he gave itas a gargle, and in ten minutes the patient was out of danger. Brimstone kills every species of fungus in man, beast or plant in‘a few minutes, Instead of spitting oat the gargle he recommended the swallowing of it, In extreme eases, when he had been called just in the nick of time, when the fungus wastoo nearly closing to allow the gargling, Ae blew the sulphur through a quill into the throat, and after the fungus had shrunk to allow of it, then the gargling. He never. lost. a patient from diptheria. If a patient cannot gargle, take a live coal, putit on a@ shovel, and sprinkle aspoonful or two of flour of brimstone at a time apon it, let the sufferer inhale it, holding the head over.it, and the fungus will die. If plentifully used, the whole room may be filled almost to suffucation; the patient can walk aboutin it, inhaling the fumes, with doors and windows shut.”’ ; We say again, speaking from much experience with. the alam etc, remedy, wefeel quite vonfident that this sulphur cure will be an eminent success, and as such we recommend it notonly toall the people but to the profession aa well. If henceforth ‘any person die of this disease whose attendants have not tried this cure, there will be something at fault some where. HOTEL ARRIVALS. JACOB NAFPZIGER, Proprictor.
