He sent us a newspaper.

There was some news; that is, news worth talking about.

Here was what was printed in large letters on the outside:-- WONDERFUL DISCOVERY OF GOLD AT THE TURON.
We have much pleasure in informing our numerous constituents that gold, similar in character and value to that of San Francisco, has been discovered on the Turon River by those energetic and experienced practical miners, Messrs.

Hargraves and party.

The method of cradling is the same, the appliances required are simple and inexpensive, and the proportional yield of gold highly reassuring.
