LYNCH LAW.
The Sacramento Transcript has the follow
ing: An instance Of this summary mode o
dispensing justice took place on Monday las
at Georgetown, while the election was going
on. 1t seems that a man by the name G.
Devine had taken to gambling, and as he
was in the habit of loosing his money, HI:
wife hid all that came into his possession Or
Sunday, as he had got 'broke," he demanded
the money she had hid. She refused to de-
liver it if be intended 10 use in gammng
whereupon Devine threatened TO kill her
As he seized his GUN she blew out the can
die and fed into another room he now
ever discharged it at her. The contents
passed through the door and killed her. Al
enrared crowd, several hundred strong, as
sembled forthwith, set Divine on horse, ano
rode him of to tree. Here they made hin
kneel upon the horse's back, put the rope
around his neck and drove the horse off, leav
ing him hanging from the branch OF th'
tree.

The Sacramento Transcript says that i
Grass Hollow Dry Diggings, five men not lon
since, took out nearly $1,000 IA piece in les
than week.
The same paper says that new digging
have recently been discovered in the vicin'
of Placervile, part of which are quite pre-
ductive. -Four men took out about $500 fC
several days in succession. The digging
are located near the top of one of the highe:
hills about the place, which indicates quit
clearly, that the whole earth in that vcnit
contains more or less of the "dust.n Th
gold that has been found in the new digging
is quite coarse and is found in strata
earth about 16 feet below the surface.
