Early California

A THRILLING EPISOD&

All was bustle and confusion in our usually quiet and orderly little cabin. Charley Williams bad just returned ffotn a very socceaaful proajMClflng trip, and was recounting h|s aaVetltures^o our greedy oars. The deorfption fee gave of Deep Gulch, the newly discovered mining locality iu the northern part of California, some forty miles from our diggings, was glowing with tints, a la Munchausen, and would not have received fall credit, perhaps, bad he not produced about twenty ounces of the glittering ore, the result of ten days' laoor. His acoount of the great extent of the new minos, and their untold wealth, cre^te^d quite an asqlteaient In our little£t9pany, and jftrtfied as out of our \ifcuaf propriety.

Surface diggings, six bits to five dollars to the pan, and one lucky fellow, from a rich lead, had taken out as high as eighteen dollar^ to the pan. Good place to work—cool canyon—high banks —splendid streatb of wfte^dozsn tomheadsor tnqte—fjine Heil^rqt^eti qMartz-*-bed rock, slate, and easy to take up—not more than fifteen miners working ttiern yet, and they washing, at the mouth^tf the canyon. 1

Bill Williams, his brother Charley, and myBelf, had been mining together for „8ome three months in the ola emigrant ravine, neat- Hrfngtown^* I^hajfl come to California to make nay fortuuft, and my success inay be read in the experience of thousands of emigrants who crossed the PIains with the eanie object in view.

Bill Williams, usually called Big Bill, or Pike County Bill, was a six-footer, large, musoular and good natured. In deep diggings, be was invaluable, albeit a little touched with the "Spring fever," which was not confined, however, to be vernal months alone, but endured the whole year, with occasional relapses.

Charley was a trump, full of energy, seal and fun he was the life of our party. As for myself, a neophyte fresh from New York, I was getting the starch rubbed out of me very fast had loarned a thing or two since I left home, and was perfectly willing to make.myself generally useful in almost anjyt ^opacity. 'I'll tell you what's a fact, boys,' said Big Bill, hts harsh, gruff voice suddenly dispelling the bright fancied of a golden vision I had insensibly (all^nlutoon the streugth of the new nuuea. U'rn off this afternoon for Deep Gulch, and It's my 'pinion you had better follow suit., Now who's inT All inT Tt's Whack! Jest gather up the traps, boys, and I will go aown to town, buy a couple of mules, and be on hand Va the twinkling of a rifle-box.'

Charley and myself selected tft$ pfo», esaary kit of tools and cooking utensils from the extensive paraphernalia that had beeu accumulating ie and abogt the premises sinoe forty-nine atld sacked a quantum miff"of flour. *nd the ind(sponsible salt junk.

How it was possible to stoyf away mioh a multiplicity of articles' 4tf tne backs of two mules, was a problem, Che solution of which we left to Bill, as Charley atated be had knack at packing only to be attained by much experience- After a prolonged abdeuoe he returned with one animal only, and such an animal—the very oddity of hisap pearance would make a l»orae laugh. It was a perfect nondescript. Less than four feet in height, with a little bit of a long, round body an enormous head, spindling legs, and small, sharp boo fa, nearly hidden by long, brown woolly hair, which covered every portion of bfs body in great profusion, excepting its stubby tail and lotffc, pendant ears, it •was the queerest lo$kic bad ever awm. TI\

Hello! Er—a! l*iay!' shouted Char* ley, as Bill came slowly up the trail, dragging the reluctant brute by a lariat, 'what in thunder havo you got there, Bill •Well, I've aid ear the blasted critter us something in tho bom or mule line. Dad rat bin, don't know 'aactly what to call him,'replied Bill,,rubbing his corrugated shoulder, and shaking his huge fist at the acquisition, which was stupidly wagging its woolly head, and blink* ingit's great round eye*. 'Looks like a crows bet donkey and I Jerusalem geeied,*itb# loud smite. 'Shet yowr dam! quit pottle/* fa a at a feller. It dont wake a diff-o-bltUnee. Thar ain't nary other critter but him to be bad at no price. Reckon be can make the trip—be'a tough at nor a pine kmot, I'll swear to Uunk lie lives on tnaoaai nits buahap, atfdkiu Ute his weight ill dust, ile'athe ^aliefet thirig in world to catch.' •Why didn't yon ride, Bill interrupted Charley, 'what's the use of walking, when you bev got such a floe boaaf* •Couldn't be did,' said Bill, looking at bia long legs witb i* grim smile. 'Got too much legs and hain't got enuff. When it coram to ridin', boys, you got roe thar, it'a a mighty Uibt fit, fur standing still seems to be hts nateral gait, sure as.you're bora. KeCoh me on such abeep when I kin walk afoot—no airree!'

After some further discussion of tbe merits and demerits of old 'puddeo bed' as Charley dubbed him, he was picketed out, and be made preparation to start for tbe new placers bright and early tbe next morning.

We bad dispatched oot frugal supper,

and were leisurely enloviog a oomfbrta-' honor—I became blind with rage and ble smoke In the cool shade, when we desperation—my poignard leaped from wore disturbed by the heavy trampling of many men coming from different quarters, but all hurrying to the same point.

Hoarse voices whispered murder and death, as tbe throng ruabed on to where au assemblage of hardy miners, in their rough and earth stained garments, had collected together for tbe purpose of in vestimating tbe trt\tb of tbe direful re port that bad traversed the length and breadth of 6ur little oommunlty with such inconceivable rapidity. A scene of tbe moat intense and ominous excitement followed. A terrible crime, enveloped in mystery, bad been oommitted in our midst. A miner, named George Wilson, bad just been di«oovered lying dead on tbe floor of hla cabin, hia heart pierced bv tbe knife of an ass twain. There had evidently been no struggle, for everythinttlu tberpqm was in perfect orqpr. $ was not tbe work of a common robMs, for although dust and coin to a large amount was within reach of bis murderous band, not a dollar bad been touched.

At that,t1iu*.Ua^rrlWa©Qlqof Jadge Lynch was in full force in the mines, and a oommittee of determined men were appoiuted to investigate the facta of the case, and provide for the arrest and punishment *f the pnlfnown of fender. s..

It was soon ascertained that a youth of slight and graoeful form bad passed up tbe ravine ou tbe afternoon of the day previous, and bad at several ptaoea enquired his way to Wilson's claim. He bad been seen with him while the former waa DannioK.QU&.bia.Kold, the result of

his day's Ubbr," had entered the cabin at the same time, but bad not been seen afterwards in tbe diggins up to the time tbe crinrf was discovered.

Tbe evidence 411 pointed t# this stranger youth as the criminal, and parties of well armed miners soon spread over the country in every direction in bot pursuit of the fugutive.

Wilson was formerly from Illinois, and although somewhat morose and taciturn, hwttoad^maBy frifmdramong

A theft or robbery was of rare occurrence in that vicinity, for the terrors of Lynch Law bad spread all over tbe land and exercised a salutary influence io cheoktbe depredations o{ a large class of bold aud lawless raqn, who would not have feared the slow and tedious pro^ cess of the orninary legal tribunals cf justice.

Mb Wight morning

beams ere-one party of the pursuers had returned with a prisoner bound baud and foot, He was very young and extremely pale. A silky mass of dark matted hair fell over a forehead high aud intellectual deep hazel ewes, large autfrbrljiianfc, kec# frUigftd V?tb /long, Se*vy Babes, infl k%pf obltin4eli bent on the ground as if he feared the threatening glances that rested on his almost cUUdisJi.face., His other features were Mr aud rather effeminate. In form he was small and graceful, and the beholder gazing on bis sad and sorrow stricken countenance would find it difficult to beJBevefhat bringing being before. hUnr cowering finder #very eye, could ev^i- nave commttxed th^crime of which he was accused.

A competent jury was Boon selected, and he was placed upon trial by tbe self-codstitut^d court. Jerome Vincent was tbe name be gave. He replied tb tbe question of "guilty or not guilty?" with a conuulsive start and a voice quivering with emotion springing tobis feet he confronted his stern accusers with a flashing eye and a bold front. 'Not guilty! gentleman,' he exclaimed in a silvery and penetrating voice, •and yet this trial is useless, for I confess the deed! Yes, I killed him. This right band,' be continued, growing more excited aud raising it high in the air, a3 he advanced close to tbe jury, 'plynged the frtal steel into bis foul heart, and I glairy in the deed. Were it

todotigain, never would I rest until his gullty Wf#'Vvas destroyed. I know the penalty of my crime, and am prepared to meet the d'oom that awaits me but flrtt, let hue beg for time to tell my story a tale of horror—of such deep gUilt aofl wrong that the killing of tbat Yretched man is but a venal offense. We lived among the flower gemmed prairies of Illinois. I was blessed with IWd aud gfetierou3 parents, and an only sister, gentle and affectionate. George :#ilSiP was an orphan, destitute and 'suffering taking oompassion on him, piy rfatfisrychose him as tho Son of bis ad.d»iotf, he was reared with us and treated by our too indulgent parents it* every respect jlike a beloved son. AcciistotWed to tbe luxuries and privileges of wealth, be knew neither trade nor profession. Having received a superior education at one of the best colleges of the tEast^ be graduated with honor as dnejbfmost promising scholars of the ius^Uution. On his return he was received with open arms and affectionate regard by tny dear parents and with a heartfelt welcome by my sweet sister and myself. Now comes tbe dark and blood stained catalogue of bis fearful crimes. Ere he had been with us a year after his collegiate life, while profeasing tbe most ardent love for another, be basely destroyed the hspptoeas and blasted tbe young life of my only sister, a fidr, confiding b?ing, whose only fault wasia loving too devotedly tbe perfidious wretch. When sternly -upbraided br my father for bis. base 'ingratitude and dJme, be raised bis guilty .band Us. against bim and destroyed the life of bis benefactor, of one who had been more than a father to him. Tbe horror of tbe scene was too much for my poor distracted mother her reason fled and she fell t^ tbe floor in a desolate stupor.

To complete bis deadly work and bide tbe evidence of his dsmniqg guilt, be applied the torob our nriticely mansion, ind having collected All the money fand valuables be coulr flnt, the ta&rnate Oeiid fled from the home of his childhood, new converted by bis crimes into tbe funeral pyre of bis best friends. How I escaped I cannpt tell, bot think that onr niac idother, possessed with sudden stiengtb. or gOldod by tbe last rays of xeeaon's lamp before its bright light was forever extinguished dragged myself and my sister away from tbe crumbling rains. For six long months of fearful agony my spirit bovered over tbe grave and wben alt length I recovered, tbe awakening was worse than death, tot all I held most doer on earth bad been blasted by tbe withering breath of tbe destroyer. I then took a solemn oath to revenge the cruel wrongs we bad sustained and bring tbe Jonl perpetrator to Joetice, After months of toil and incredible hardships, I at length traced him to tbia place. I followed him to tbe cabin be occupied to be certain of bis identity, fully intending then to leave bto punishment to the law.

my bosom aud drank bia heart'a blood, Geutlemen, I bave done. I cannot feel that I am guilty I leave my case in your bands.'

Tbe prisoners, whose eyes had fairly biased with a wild, unearthly light, and whose clear, ringing tones bad thrilled every heart, now ceased, and raising his band to his white brow with painful motion be sank to the ground insenaible. The effect he had produced was elec* trical. Not one in that large crowd would have oondemued tbe youth to be hung, for bs strange and horrible story, so touoblngly told, nad enlisted all tbelr feelings sud sympathies in his behalf.

After a deep silence of several minutea, the foreman of the jury slowly* rose from bis seat and demanded tbe opinion of his fellow jurors. •For one,' said Big Bill, with a rather unsteady voice, 'it's my 'pinion be done zackly right—no, not sackly right nuther—but, shaw! be oouldn't help It. I move we set him free.'

All the jurors were of tbe same opinion, exoeptlng one, who, being a very oareful man, suggested tbe propriety of aearohing for oorroborattve evidence. He moved tbe examination of the prisoner to aaoertaha if the bounds he spoke of jpally existed.

Those who supported the lifeless form of Vincent qulokly opened his vest, and discovered upon his rigbtf ride, just below the breast, two large red wounds, scarooly healed. A murmur of satisfaction was hesrd from the now eager throng. 'By heavens, 'tis a woman,' shouted Charley Williams, as he modestly covered the voluptuo^a bust of the reviving girl.

Admiration suooaeded pity, and the boys respectfully withdrew several steps, waiting for further developments, but tbey were disappointed. The beautiful young woman, on being Informed that she was discbsrged from custody, re turned ber grateful thanks in a faiut but steadv voice, and gently repelling all the offers of assistance that were showered upon her, left tbe scene with a slow and painful step.

The crowd dispersed in silence. We packed our invaluable animal, and left the same day /or the new m^nes.—GolcL en

"HEA TIS LIFE—COLD IS DEATH Scientific American. Thero-is no»greater fallacy than the Opinion aaio& many, »ar^cul%rly tbe young and ttro»g antf vijgofous, tnat winter, ttspeclally a sBarp, frosty one, with plenty of Bnow—is the most healthy season of the /ear.

our unconscious effort to nfaintahi' bodily heat at a temperature.ftf niftgtv-, eight degrees, tbat wears us out. To [this temperature, oalled "blood beat," •every cubic inch -of oxygen that serves to vitalize our blood must

raised by

pur ownj bodily (beat, or life -ceases. Since in Cold weather the aialntenance of a sufficiently elevated bodily temperature becomes very dften a dlmcujty too great for our strength, the advent of a severe winter is really to be dreaded more than the visitation of a pestilence Tbe saying, "Heatis life—cold is death" has a striking illustration and confirma-

Sanitary rises and falls with the regularity of the thermometer. So maby degrees less beat, so many more deaths, aud vice Versa, In one of the fortnightly reports Dr. Russell says: 'ffhe death rateflnfthe first weejt of the fortnight was twentyone, and in the second week twentyfi^e. The mean tetapeifature in the former week was 40.8 degrees Fahren.t, in. the latter 39.5 aegreea." He attributed tbe low rate of the first week to the. high mean temperature of the preoetHng fortriiglit, *which was 47.63 degrees, and adds: "This is a good illustration of a la# which we frpqbently oDservf. in these reports of temperature* and death rates—tbat a week of low temperature produces arise in mortality tbe week,following." In our climate it yvould probably be. difficult to find a more frequent cause Of serious ailments than taking cold. Whatever weak place we bave, whatever? constitutional disorder we be subject to, cold will surely disbover. We take colds because our vitality is loo low to Ward dff tne effects of tbe reduced temperature arojind n& As a matter of.ArBt Jm-r portance, then, to resist cold and the various derangements of the system consequent, it is necessary by proper nutrition, to maintain our animal beat second, to retain this beat by a sufficient amodnt of cfotbing third, to regulate with care the temperature of tbe alr'Wte breathe^ Contrary to the opinion eifrrent among lovers of cold weather, a fire in a bedroom in tbe winter is cheaper and better th«r dfbOtor's.'bill fa owing to our sleep, the circulation blooa Is both slow and Imperfect, anu hence tbe danger of taking oold bv breathing cold air is greatly iucressed. A cold is the beginning of everything bad. If any one conscious of having oaught one feels cold chills creeping up tbe back, let him apply a mustard
