Truly Mr, Editor we have been very dilatory of late in writing you port matters moving on in the old ordinary way in life, viz by yeoman industry, buildings being erected. marriages and deaths taking place, and. judging from appearances, even [from our burg, but we will now reâ€" courtship continues to be freely in- dulged in, but such is life. 9--Since last writing some of our old pioneers have passed away to the great beyond (viz) Mrs. John Aitkins, an old respected lady of nearly eighty years, was called upon to obey the command and depart this life, also Mr. John English, who lived to the ripe old age of some two weeks over ninety years. During the last two or three years he was mOStly confined to his bed with his eye Slgllt almost gone, but alas his spirit took , its flight, and he is no more with us. j But the most stricking of all is the‘ death of Mr. Wm. Malone, who snuggled hard for over three years to obtain a cure for that dreaded dis-i ease, cancer. He travelled far and near for treatment at a great cost in order that he might live, but such was not to be. He was about fifty years of age and leaves a widow and small family in good circumstances. V'gilance Committee in proper form, and hold secret sessions of the members under the name of the Society for the suppression of tramps and burglars. It is not yet settled where the meetings are to be held, but from what we can learn it has been suggested that an empty tan- nery vat. or a coflin store house would be the most secret and proper places for such meetings. Others again favor the sword bearers barn. However there is no doubt that an agreement will shortly become to on this point. The work of the society, as far as we can learn, will be in the first place to procure a supply of arms and ammunition, also a full outfit of emergency, rations, beth in a solid and liquid form so as to suit all classes of appetites. A dark lan- tern for the Field Surgeon and a few cots or hammocks for the Hospitalâ€" Surgeon will also be in order, so that ample stoves will be on hand for future emergenciss. And last but not least, it is expected that the D. O. C. and the other C. 0’s. will be furnished with S. S. T. B. badges and suitable weapons. It is also sug- gested that magnifying spectacles or night glasses be procurred for those officers that mistake their neighbors for tough looking cases, These glasses will only be required on lodge nights. when all those different ar- rangements are carried out. We feel satisfied that no such mimakes will happen in the manoeuvres of the force while on duty, as eccurred on their last field night. Since the publication of the tramp and burglar scare. we understand that it has been resolved after ser- ious consideration to organize the We notice that Pomona and Pat are playing quite a. nice little game of there own through your columns.

No doubt, like many others, anxiously awaiting the result of the late examinations. Mr. Jas. Atkinson, Dentist, arrived home last week aftera trip to the old country. He appears as it his visit to the ould Dust had agreed with him, him. Mr. Robe. Aitkins, who sojourned for the last thirteen years, but re- turned last Spring, visited with his parents and other relatives for about- three months, buried his mother and has since taken to himself a wife, in the person of Miss Minnie Stafford, and bmh have since left for his mine- ing business in B. 0.. where he has several claims of his own. Mr, John Ritchie. of Port Arthur. as in the pasc, is again devoting his holiday season to the interest of his farm here. John is a. hustler, and is not afraid of hard work of any kind. Mr. '1‘.

Ou W'eduesday evening, the 11th inst.. Angus Graham; a prominent. pioneer of Toulumne, died at the family residence in Saw Mill Flat, from an affection of the stomach, from which malady he had been a sufferer for many years. During the past months the disease took an acute form and although everything possible to medical skill was done. he found no relief until the weary eye- lids closed in the peaceftileeep of death, ' Eliza, a bright, good looking daughter of Mrs. Friend’s, while on a visit to her uncle, David McAulifie’s, on Wednesday of last. week, came nigh being disfigured for life.

In his early manhood he removed to Canada, where he resided until 18:39, when, starting for the Golden WeSt, he located in Columbia, Tuolumne County. where he became prominent- ly indentified with the mining inter- ests of Tuolumne, owning and operating some of the best mines in the county: In 186-1 he went to Canada, where he was married to Miss Flora Sinclair, returning with his bride the same year to Tuolnmne, A neighbor of ours says good goods are done Up in small parcels.

A new kitchen is in course of ex" ectiou to Mr. McVicar’s already commodious house, We believe we are safe in saying that the lads and lassies will look for a chance to test the solidity of the floor when it is completed. One gold and two silver watches were competed for by three young ladies at the Rev. Father Hauck’s picnic, at Quinn’s grove, near Berke- ley on the ‘26th, ult. Miss Annie Morrison, of this vicinity, secured one of the silver ones, and it is something to be justly proud of.
