OUTRAGE NEAR TloRNELLsvILLE-NEw GOLD
MINEs.-A correspondent near Hornesville
writes us an account of an outrage near that
place, on Saturday evening last
It seems that gang Of rowdes succeeded
in breaking up a religious meeting near that
village. and resisted the officers who undertook
to arrest them. Wbereupon the consta bio
drew his revolver and shot the ring leader
through the heart and wounded another of the
gang.
The gang then fled to a barn where they
were surrounded, and on Sunday morning ag-
gei out of their hiding places in the hay and
taken into custody. Our correspondent adds
tort the new Railroad to Hornellsville. has
brought in a lot of rogues and counterfeiters.
Two Of tho latter were arrested last week at
Wellsvle, but gave the officers the slip. He
further says in regard 10 the recent discovery
Of gold on Canisteo River and at Greenwood,
that Madame Rumor tells great stories. One
man is reported to have fonnd lump weigh
ing only 60 bs-pure metal. California is not
q touch to Steuben. The snow storm checks
mining oporatiods terribly y.-[Rochester Amer

CATHERINE HAYEs.-We learn that tho con-
ccrts Of the Swan of Erin in San Francisco
have created great excitement. No less than
Sl,l5o premium was paid for tho best seat at
her thind concert the enthusiasm ran so high
that hats ond chunks Of gold were thrown up
on tho stage, and even diamond ring worth
300. She had also received as present, a
splendid riding hat, made cf green velvet, EN-.
broidercd with shamrocks of gold, and clssped
with golde harp. She appears TO have mado
