'? ? .1? ? .? -? Miles of Silver. A Utter from Caribou, Colorado, has tili? ruining gossip : "The grandest cntcrprifc of tins gold and silver region is the 'Caribou ui'no,' located about mg lit bundled yards west of the lown^tnn alt it m>o of ten thou sand feet above tide water. It is'uni versally conceded by experienced miners to be the richest and hist paying silver mitte' in proportit n to its development of which we have tiny record. On the surfuoc it extends one thousand four hundred leet, for which a govcrnmont title has been obtained. There are eleu en shafts, aggregating ovor ono thou sand feet, the deepest of which is ono hundred and ninety feet from tho sur face The mine contains ten levels ag gregating nut lar from one thousand tbicft hundred fer-t, width ofereviee from Fcven to nine feet, with smooth and well-defined walls. Tins extraordinary silver ledge is im bedded in a mountain of syenite, but the vein is so pet fett.that mining opera tions are carried on at a rapid rate, and ns the ores contain a large per cent, of sulpharets and galena, carrying tons of fcilwr glance and brittle silver, with a very little zinc bl.udo, and no antimony or arsenic of an) consequence they arc rendered exceedingly easy of reduction. Vihi'e their richness is almost fabulom, panics offer tt* wager that a tou of ore can be obtained from this mine thatwill yield 810.000' coiu value. On the head of One of the forks of M idle Doulderi six miles west of Cari bou, a wonderful lode has recently been discovered! U appears to bo the out croppings of an cuormo^? silver ledge, or pystem of lodes, so liuked and woveu together as to give them the appearance of < ne vast lode, literally bursting from the mountain. By actual measurement it :s fixty three feet in width, carrying ore the entire distauoo that shews an ?s?ay varying from scveuty five to ruic thonstbd dollars silver per tun. On tho Fourth of July it was discov rrcd,.end thus it is called the "Fourth of july'' lode: The fububus tales of G looudu aro not moro woudorful than the reality of this great freak of Nature lr cau bo distinctly traccJ over the saowy range, and into tho Middle Park, a distance of five miles. Oac pioce of ore takeu from the discovery shaft at a d' pth of fif.ocn feet, and assayed ..by Prof. Dawley gave over 62,000 silver prr tU.u. The mai-j shaft is located at tho timber line, but tho ledgo. extends up the mountain iuto perpetual soow banks, and over the raugo aud down the western slope to the Pacific waters. Tho surrounding formation is primary granite, and tho aro carriet galena; black and gray sulphuruts, grocu and blue carbonate of copper with hero aud there (.nets of zinc, uracoic aud antimony. A large body of beautiful timber is near the mine., aud six hundred and forty acres arc already claimed by ouc otn pany. Gcod bay, lands and graving range are in the valley below and thj reinwill afford room aud miter ial? judging from tho surface indications? for a hundred thousand men to mine for generations to come. Singular Crime. A most cxlraodiuary use of adverti sing as a means for the promotion of erimo was recently revailed in tho crimi. tial oourts of Australia. Two young Ipon named Nichols and Lester, both from England and both persons of some education, after puTsning criminal lives for several years with' varying success, hit npon the idea of U3*mg tho adver tising columns of the newspaper* to as sist them in their destgns. Nickols began'the business by advertising in tho Sydney journals for a companion to a lady iu the country. Numerous appli cants presented themselves but ouly those were selccdted who wcrejwell pro vided with luggage Theso wero en gaged and sent one after tho other into tho buuh, where they woro robbad of al 1 they had. While serving a term iu prison for theso robberies Nihgts bo came acquainted with Lester, who was serving a term for forgery: and when the two woro discharged they concluded to nnite their interest and try their fortune together, By advertising they got hold of a young man who had somo money j took him down to the river Paramatta and murdered him, having first drug ged him wi/h laudanum. Encouragod by thoir success in this iustaocc, a few days afterward thoy captured and murdered another victim and might have proceed ed with their work iudofinately if their last crime bad not boon discovered. Tho fact in both of those cases wero brought out on the trial of the culprits, who wcro convicted and promptly hanged' in Syd ney, tho city which they had made the center o their operations' I'sed Lu Money. A correspondent who visited the Uni lcd States Trcosury Department at Wash ington, says: I made a tour of oro of tho r mitt* while tho tl$fd op money was being ??r-??-. - VSi.JL-a_a..i--^-.i.rir~- tatst ? counted a few days since- and one of the ladies showed nie a pockot-book which was sent to tho Department by one of the officers of the department who sta ted that it had been lost throe years nnd just turned up in tho shape sent, lie paid tho man wf o lost it claimed that it held $45 when lost, it was for warded w'lh the hope that not with standing tho seeming impossibility of deciphering the mass of pulp remain ing of the money, something inig.ht be made or it. As I looked nt it not a line, mark, or figure denoting its value could be traced, nnd I asked the lady to whom it was Qsigned for verification if who could do anything iu the way of deci phering it. "() yes," she replied, turning over some of tho fragments, "there is a Qve J dollar legal tender." 1 looked into her face, expecting to so n smile at the joke r.ho wo.? playing upon mo ; but. she was instead earnestly putting the fragment? together, to see how many legal timbers she could mikel To me this seemed a display of genius not to be attained by many members of the human family, nnd the successful few must belong to the female sex. This lady has remark.ible skill in this particular direction, an J has saved many hundred of dollars to the Government, as well as gladdened the hearts of num bers who would except fur this ability on her part, have loi-t largo su us of money. The loser of this pocket book will from the wreck otherwise total save perhaps his entire $10 through her. THE ORANGEBURG NEWS GEOltGE 150I.IVI.K, Ft a a KCl At and Dt'sixass Manackh.

Wo'ds of chcor, hnppy groupings, merry greetings, gifts and gatherings, these are the features of tThrjetnras, and these are all but the utterances and cx prefsions of the sentiment of the season "l'eaeo Jand good-will."

The herald- 6lars, that told the watching shepherds of the advent of the Infant God, announced the presence on earth of Him, who is the personification of "Love ;" of II im'whose character was expressed iu the Golden Maxim, "Do nnto others us you would have others do unto you." Those same rtars have shone upon the world ever since that grcatc>t epoch, and utter at this season the memorial id'that same "sweet story of old." While their radiant influonco rains light upon tho benighted canh, tho same thrilling sentiment the same High Maxim, shine ami are repeated. Amiil the duties of busy life, amid cares and sorrows, the c associations of Heaven come with the Christmas Benson to cheer and ble?s.

The fire-fiend has an especial grudge agaiuet the beautiful and enterprising Town of Chester in this Slate. This is the second timo in a short period that this Town has been almost destroyed by conflagration. O.1 Sunday morning December 15th, a disastrous fire broke out in this place, and despite the heroic effort* of the cteizctw, over one half of the busino's part of tho Town was re duced io ashos. Tho total loss is esti mated at one hundred ami fifty thousand dollars. Besides these cou?ccutive and ruinous fires, a hurricane destroyed a large amount of property iu this place last year. Tho insurance upon the house, stores and other property destroyed amounts to enly sixty thousand dollars. Amidst our sympathy for this Town let us make practical uso of the lesson taught. Let us in Orangeburg renew aud red >ublo our precautions and preparations against such a dire contingency here. Hie Fence Law. A bill has boon introduced in the House of .Representatives, in our Stute Legislature, to repeal the existing fence laws. This subject was up before the hist Legislature and has been very generally discussed throughout the State. The farmers seem to be divided in opinion in regard to the tnattor. This difference seems to be in accordance with the locality aud particular advantages or disadvantages of the various sections of our State. No doubt the co.st of fences is enor mous, doubtless more than the value of the stock fenced out in somo counties. This hill is a proposition to repeal the existing fonco laws. Now it is well known that tho existing fenco laws arc practically a dead letter. A-lawful fence, one Tive fect high from tho lovo of the ground, or as it *s otherwiso cx - pressed, oue "horse high-, pig tight, and bull-strong," is"ns rafe ns- vcuisbn. In deed' the general run of fciioc?., in somo I sections, nrc virtually no fences at nil. And what wore prolific catsc of ncghbnrs quarrel* is thoro in this State, than tho invasion of stock over add through these defective barriers? Tho quest ion is reduced down to one of fencing out or fencing In. Now the present law in effect commands feucing-tffat. Hut this law is inoperative aud a cause of trouble. It is sin-ply proposed by this bill I? try fencing iu.4 The provisions of the bill, summed up arc as follows j The bouundary line of each tract of land is made a lawful fence; it is uulaw ful for ptock to run at large beyond their owuer's lands ; and the owuers arc liable for all damages doue by stray stock . the mode of obtaining legal redress fi r damage is prescribed ; and ouch county is to decido, by a popular vote to be taken iu January 1S73, whether such county will accept or reject the act. Some objection is made to this lust piovision, which allows different funoo laws iu adjoining counties. But we can sec no serious difficulty in this, and feint litr laws operate iu other States. The bill has been referred to the Com mittee on Agriculture, and it is thought will be favorably reported upon. Legislature. Since our last report sonie important business bns been transacted ~by our legislators in council met. On Friday last, as we nuounccd in our last issu?, the election for Judge of the fifth cir cuit took place. The vote stood on tho first ballot, eighty fin Carpenter, aud forty three for Youulnus, who w is the next highest candidate. In the House fiual action has been taken upon five bills of importance. These are as follows: The tax bill, authorizing a levy of fifteen mills for State and '.County purposes ; the bill to prevent County Commissioners from being interested in County contracts ; the bill to "provide for the payment of salaries of members at the end of each regular session ; the bill to repeal tho State license law; and lire hilt to extend the time for recording conveyances of ; reul estate from thi;ty three days to three months. All these bills have pro gressed favorably iu the Senate aud will doubtless become la*s. One fault wc have to find with the Senate. It is re ported that that body proposes to amend the bill to rep -al the license law so as not to t?kc effect until1 April >>t, 1&J&. This will force' another quarterly pay ment which should have been prevented. In the Senate, the house bill direct ing a tax levy of ?ltecn mills, was passed to a third reading and ordered to be engrossed. A joint assembly was to have been held yesterday to elect a successor to Judge Orr, who has bten appointed and confirmed, Minister to Russia J. Scott Murray is a prominent cuntri date for the position. Representative Moyers introduced .a bill to provide for the redemption from the State of lauds for toiled for tases. ' This bill provides? "That any real estate which has been heretofore forfeited to or purchased on behalf of the state for taxes, may be re deemed within one year after the pas sage of tho act iu tho following manner : The auditor of any county where uuy such land io situated, shall, upon the application of awy person? or persons dc sifing to redeem the sums furuieb such applicant with certificates des cribing the lands sought to be redeemed aud upon tho presentation of this certificate for which the applicant has to pay a fee of fifty cents, the county treasurer, upon payment of the sum specified with lawfnl interest aud another fee of fifty cents for the treasurer ; shall turn over the said lands to their owners."
