proved as destitute of gftld as the rest of their claim. Determined, however, to realize something to pay them for their tiouble, they irnme diately sprinkled a considerable amount of the precious metal all over the rock, as well as in its interstices and crevices, and then proclaimed abroad that ihey had found a rich tffcin of golden rock in their dam, inviting every one to call and see it. From far and near the diggers en mo to see the wonderful discovery, whilst claims in the surrounding dams rose in price in proportion to the excitement occasioned by the golden rock. Many and large were the offers made to the various claimants in the golden rock dam. But it was no go ?the party concerned knew well what they were about, and would not sell one claim without selling all. Meanwhile, so intense had become the excitement, that no work was done for several days in the whole neighborhood, and the owners of this immensely rich claim, seeing the position of affairs, determined to "strike while the iron was hot;" and accordingly up went the whole of the claims in the "Golden Rock Dam," to be sold at auction, to the highest bidders, for casb, at sundown, the next day. The excitement still raged, and, at the time appointed, the concourse of diggers was tremendous upon the scene of action. The sale commenced, and up, up went the bids to an astonishing price, until about dusk, when the whole was knocked off to a nartv of lucky bombres, who promptly

"Certainly, tir, as you seem to be a stranger in the city; or, 1 will call a watchman to uccompany von." Not caring to have the company of the latter. lie declined that part of the oiler, but he said he should feel proud of having the company of the gen;l. man himself.

A severe shock of an eartliqu ike was felt at : St. Thomas on the 19th of December, but no I damage was done. The merchants of St. John, I'.

'Vhr Printer.?Many men, who have acquired great fame and celebrity i ? the world, began their career as printers. Sir William Blackstone, the learned commentator on laws, was a printer by trade. King George III learned : the art, and frequently set type after lie ascended the throne of England. We scarcely need mention Franklin, for it is well known to all who are familiar with his name, that he was a printer. Alexander Campbell, the greatest Theologian that ever lived, is a printer. Gentlemen of the "Craft," these are gratifying facts; but let us not be content that they alone ' ' ' .1 1.. .* .i ?e.. i,.i

"Yes, sir, Porter, of the Spirit ?now, I believe a little .-piri u dized, hut nut quite spiritual enough to find my way out of tuese crooked place.-; which perhaps may appear a little more crooked in consequence ot the excel.cut qualities of a Montreal dinner."

Ilis new friend appeared to he a very sociable, clever h How, and to know all about t e editor and his paper; and although Porter's eyes were not very clear, lie could not help noticing that every watchman they met paid unusual maiks of respect to him.
