one of five, to invest a dollar each for the purchase
of a ticket, which was then put up to be drawn for
bv the five; and not basing a dollar in his posses

the first throw in thispreliminary miniature lottery . ,
and, like a sensible hu:thand, handed the ticket, not
dreaming of its Intent virtue, to his " better half."

DEMORALIZATION ANIOAO THE Gout DIGGERS —A
letter is published in the Journal of Commerce,
from Captain Spring of the rhip Efttiorver, under
date of San Francisco, Sept 41st, in which be says,
that there is now some danger in re:wiling from.
the gold mines," as there are those who prefer to
tithe the gold already washed to:their hands, to dig
ging and washing it for themselves." According to
this writer, demoralization prevails in horrible
forms among some of the dime's. Runaway
sailors dig a quantity of gold, which they spend
recklessly', and then begin again. A great deal of
Wetness has been experienced; and as one after
another dies, be a thrown aside with the utmost
indifference, without even a covering of earth.
