COMMUNAL HAPPINESS Married peo-
pie have different ways of enjoying
themselves. Some bill and eoo," and
enjoy all the sweets which. it is said,
matrimony affords in this life. Seme-
times a wife enjoys herself by scolding
her spouse, and sometimes he amuses
himself best by taking her through a
course ofsprouts." Yesterday French
couple in the neighborho5d of North
Beach, having exhausted the whole vo-
cabulary of invectives contained in their
language upon each other, fell to and
had regular fight, in which Madame
came off the victor. We learned upon
inqairing, that she is in the habit OF
giving her liege lord whipping about
once a week, which he has not the physi-
cal ability to resist. This is rather
turning the tables against the 'lords Of
creation" We hope the infection won't
spread. Courier.

FROM STOCKTON.

Execution ofJas. Wilson and Fred
erick Salkneyer, for horse stealing, at
Stockton, on Friday last, the 2Sth ult.
BY Gregory's Express we received an
extra from the office of the Stockton
Journal, which announces the execu-
ton of the two men, as above.
They were taken from the Jail to, the
gallows at 2 o'clock, p. M. There was
a large concourse of people. Wilson
is reported as appearing solemn, Salk-
myer indifferent. Both made speech
es from the scaffold, Wilson low, al-
most inaudible, Salmyer in firm and
excited tone of voice. Both denied
having committed the crime.
The Rev. Mr.. Wood addressed the
crowd and offered up, prayer, after
which the victims of the law were Ian,
ded into eternity.
The journal adds:
The immense crowd, who witnessed
the execution, could not have been less
than three thousand people. Not o.
row has occurred during the week, up
to the present time.
A citizen police guarded the city last
night, and will continue on duty thro'
the coming night.

ARRESTED. We understand that
Charles Duane was arrested yesterday
morning, and taken before Judge
Campbell, of the County Court, who
placed him under bonds to keep the
peace. 1t seems that some difficulty
had arisen between Duane and Mr.
Tiffany, while Duane was in prison,
and the former challenged the latter
in order to settle the difficulty. How
ever reprehensible and injudicious du.
cling may be, it is, to say the least, q
mode of settling disagreemeuts far
preferable to firing at each other in
the crowded streets of a city. In the
one case, the parties go out quietly by
themselves and violate the city ordi-
nance by discharging firearms, while
in the other they are just as likely to
shoot down some lady who happens to
be passing, as to put bullet through
an inoffensive book-stand.-- Transcript

We publish the following intelligence
as it appears in slip from the office of
the Los Angeles Star
MONDAY, Nov. 25th, o'clock, P. NJ.
The intelligence received within the
last twenty four hours is of more than
ordinary .in'erest,and is producing cor
responding excitement among our citi-
zens.
We have authentic accounts from the
post at the Gila, up to last Thursday
morning. 1t. Murray, with fifteen men
sent from San Diego, to relieve 1t.
Sweenv, had arrived in safety. He
writes that it is impracticaole for 1t.
Sweeny to leave the post at present
that the Yumas, to the number of four
hundred, had surrounded their stockado,
and that for three successive nights the
troops had been forced to FIRE upon the
Indians to hold them in check Also
that four Amer leans who had crossed
the Colorado with large drove OF
sheep, had been killed by the Yumas.
The Indian chief Pablo-at Temascel
sent an express to Hon. Abel Stearns,
informing him Of a union OF various In
dian tribes with view to attack and
exterminate the Americans in Loa An
gsles and San Diego. Pablo advises Mr..
Stearns 10 remove his cattle from the la
guna to San Luis Rey, and vagueros
have been dispatched to make the re-
moval forthwith.
The Court of Sessions held consul
tation this morning, and have placed the
direction of matters in the hands of Col.
Magruder. A company Of twenty-five
mounted men has been organized, and
will leave the city at FIVE o'clock for
Apolitan and Aqua Caliente, where the
Indians are said to be in . state of re-
bellion. The condition of affairs is suf-
fciently alarming to require active
measures of defence.
| OF the men killed at the Colorado fer
Try, the name of but one is mentioned,
Mr. White. 1t is supposed they had up
wards of 6000 sheep with them. If the
Yumas are not punished for these mur-
ders, it will be NEST disgraceful. Since
their murder of Glanton's party, they
have been treated with the greatest
kindness. They have not the shadow Of
ground for complaint.
FROM THE BOUNDARY COMMISSIONERS
A Sonorenian just arrived, reports that
Gen. Garcia CoAde, with 80 troops, the
escort of the Boundary Commission, was
at Tuson on the Goth of October, and
would move next day towards the Gila.
This supposes the Boundary Commission
ers to have been at Touson at the date
above mentioned.
The Star of the 22d inst. publishes q
letter from ranchero, which states that
information is current among the fricnd-
| ly Indians in the South, of On intended
invasion by the Colorado tribes.

RUSSIA IN THE CAUCASUS. Tho stu
pendous northern power, Russia, do ne
almost rs it pleases in Europe, can make
no Roadway against the sturdy noun
taineefs of the east. We perceive that
the late reports of the disastrous defeats
are confirmed in the last continental
journals that to the defeat Of arms must
likewise be added terrible mortality
among the troops throughout the en-
pire that all men who are capable of
bearing arms are dragged to the ranks !;
and that the large military stores have
been ordered from Belgium.

We have received, through Gregory's
Express n copy of the Cala>eras ChIon-
icle, Of Nov 29th from which we copy
the following items
GREAsERrowN-Thi is the name of
a thriving little village about four miles
distant, east of the Mokelumne, where
immense quantities of earth are thrown
up, awaiting the rains The name is
significant, and the placers rich.
COMING lN.-Since the last rains, the
town of Mokelumne has been gradually
filling up with new arrivals from almost
every section of the country. The three
or four lines of stages running here, come
in full of passengers every evening, but
seldom have full complement in going
out to the lower cities--a gratifying
proof of the estimation in which the
diggings of Mokelumne are held by all.
Grass is springing up rapidly all over
the hill sides and in the vallies
ROBBERY gentleman named Van
Bibber, Kentuckian, having got upon
a slight "bender'' in our town, on Thurs
day evening, was robbed of two hundred
dollars in gold dust and valuable mule.
The animal was subsequently, found in a
livery stable, in the lower end of town,
where it had been left by Mexican,
who promised to call for il in the morn
ing. Luckily, however, for his neck, he
did not call, and thus saved Judge Lynch
job.
The Mokelumne river has risen about
eighteen inches within ten days
ONE OF THE LuMps. An eight pound
lump of pure gold was dug out of the
flats Mt Volcano, short time since.
We did not learn the names of the lucky
finders
TuNNELINc "A party of fifty miners
at Middle Bar have formed themselves
into tunnel company, for the purpose
of working into hill, from which runs
o ravine that has formerly proved of ex-
traordinary richness. We wish them
the most abundant success.
CENTRAL HILL.-Cayote diggens have
been worked for some time, with great
sacccss, at Central Hill, near Douglas
Flats. A large number of minors are
still ut work upon them.

COUNTY LICRNsEs.-Per.ons hold
ing the receipts of the County Treas
urer for the payment of money for Ii
cense should observe that such receipts
are no bar to prosecution for carrying
on business without licenses, and that
they are just as liable to the fines and
penalties of the law as if they had me-
yer paid for licenses. The law re-
quires that the receipt of the Treasur-
er should be filed with the County
Auditor, who shall issue a license
therefor. Many persons have paid in
their money to the Treasurer in this
county, and gotten their receipts, who
have never filed them with the Audi
tor. This not only does not entitle
them to the immunity intended by the
law, but it disarranges the business of
the county materially. The latest
time at which settlement can be legal
ly made with the Treasurer is in Jan.
uary, and the receipts filed in the Au-
ditor's Office are the evidences the
County has of the Treasurer's liabili-
ties for licenses. We are informed
that measures will be taken to secure
the filing of the receipts. 1t is impe-
ratively necessary it should be done,
and as no fee is charged by the Audi
tor, and it is necessary to give any eff
feet whatever to a license, that it
should be an exchange for the Trea,
surer's receipt, we advise all persons
holding receipts to conform to the re
quirements of the law, and thus save
themselves and the county trouble.

we learn that the "Falc On was 50 dis
abled on her last trip from Chagres, that
she did not arrive at Havana until the
18th October. After lying there three
days, she proceeded to New Orleans to
repair. There being no steamer in port
to bring the United States mails down
to Chagres, they, together with the
passengers numbering three hundred,
were detained there, until the steamer
Philadelphia, with mails up to the 22d
ult touched there and took all on board.
A large portion, but not all, of these
two mails are now here. The balance
are looked for hourly"

A party Of Americans wero attacked
by robbers near Panama One of the
robbers was killed. and one American
wounded.
The riots at Chagres had been sup
pressed.
The Star says ''the crossing over the
Nicaragua route is completely stopped,
at least for the present, from an acci-
dent that has befallen the steamboat
navigating the lake--she having gone
over the rapids, and it being found inn
possible after five days hard labor to
get her back again. There are from
fifteen bundled to two thousand persons
awaiting transi on that route"
According to late accounts from Prince
Edward Island, about seventy-fve YES
sells, and one hundred and fifty lives

Parliamentary REFoRM.-It is said
that Lord John Russell is engaged in
devising scheme of Parliame entary re-
form, considerably in advance of that
proposed by the Reform League. One
great element in his Lordship's bill is
understood to be the extension of the
Parliamentary franchise to persons hav-
ing succeeded to certain literary de-
grees, and attained positions in the pro.
fessions, the arts, and those who serve a
regular apprenticeship to mechanical
trades This class of voters will be very
numerous, and the test will be one easy
to determine. Where property quail
fcation is required, and will continue
necessary, the qualification will be re-
duced considerably, and the whole
scheme, it is supposed, will add 25 per
cent to the Parliamentary constituency.
