JUSTICE LYNCH.
Robberies of yolii und other crimes punishable by law oie matters of daily and nightly occurrence on the diggings, but not one man in a hundred would go to ihe expense, tronblp, and loss of time involved in a prosecution, let the robbpry be what it might, or whatever the nature of the crime. I have only heard of odg case, so far, where the services of Judge Lynch were called into requisition. This was at Stoney Creek, where a man was robbed of 12ozs in one of those detestable shanties lhat crop up everywhere; and suspicion falling oa a fellow who was loafiing about, there was a roll-up of diggers, nnd the supposed thief taken into custody. The evidence against him was hel-1 to be sufficient, and a rope having been passed around his neck in true Caiciaft style, he was about to be strung up, when he disgorged three ounces anil promised to make up the resf, at tho same lime protesting his innocencp. The poor wretch was so terrified by the fearful peril irom which he had esceped, that daring the whole of that night he kept roaring like a mad bull. There are no potics within twent)-five miles of the place. Oxygen is Life— Dr. Bbight's Phosphodvxb.—Multitudes of People are hopelessly suffering from Debility, Nervous anLiver Omplainls.

Thousands of persons who had ueen patieuU in hospitals, under the care of eminent surgeon?, without deriving the least benefit, have been cured by Holloway's Ointment and Pille, wben other remedies and irfatmtnt had signally failed. For glandular swellings, tumors, rcurvy. and any diseases of the akin there is no me Jicine that can be used with so good ao. effect. Though potent for good, it is powerless for harm } and though the care efheted U japid, it is also complete and permanent. 307 1
