On the same day, the same parties drove some
fifty Chinese from camp in the neighbourhood,
and carried away or destroyed their tents. On
the Thursday previous, Joaquin rode through the
village of San Andres, at quick gallop, and shot
three Americans as he passed through the streets.
Joaquin must be one of the best shots with re-
volver in this any other country, nearly all
these men were shot through the neck. The
whole band, it is supposed, consists of about
sixty men, all of whom are thought to be Mexi-
cans.

LOCAL ITEMS.
Visit of the Nuncio.

Our town was this morning honored by the
Pspal Nuncio Monsignore Bedini, accompanied
, by Rt Rev. Michael OConner, Bishop elect of
Erie DR. Hayden, ofBedford, and the Rev. Messrs
Walsh, Mccullough, Jos. Gallagher, Corbet, and
some others.
Bishop O'Conner pronounced a discourse char
acterized by his usual ability after which the
Nuncio made some remarks in the French Lam
guage, which were translated into English by
his Secretary and the Nuncio then pronounced
the benediction upon the Congregation.
We are warranted in saying that the impress
sion made by Mons. Bedini upon our citizens
has been most favorable. He is man of remar-
kably prepossessing personal appearance appa-
rently in the flower of his age Judging from his
remarks this morning he possesses oratorical
abilities of high order his elocution clear, dis
tinct and forcible, accompanied with all the ami
nation and grace of gesture peculiar ohis native
land. During the afternoon he waited upon
a the residence of Ed. Shoemaker, Esq, by ma
ng of the members of the bar in attendance at
court, and by many other citizens. On yesterday
Thursday the Nunco was in Loretto, on
Wednesday at Summitville, and proceeds this
afternoon to Youngstown.

The case is still in progress, and the result,

counsel is employed on both sides, and consdera-
bic interest is manifested by the public gener
ally.
As usual on court week, our town is full of cit
liens from the country, and of others from all
quarters. Clothiers, Jewellers, Booksellers, Ped
lers, &c, are busy at every giying the PeO-
PIES money back. The weather is firm, and
should it continue all winter now, we would
agree to forgive old Boreas for past hostilies and
swear or G6irm that the mountain climate is ne
pltes ultra the finest under heaven.
