FOURTH JULY.--We hear of talls and
srations, &C., in various parts of the
county for the 4th of July. At Moore's
fat they have an grafton and dinner.
At Cherokee they have q ball at the
Grizzly Hotel. At Crystal Springs they
also have ball. We believe nothing
is yet on the tapis for this neighborhood.
Would not joint picnic between this
place and Grass Valley, say near the
Half Way house, or Camp Springs, be
pleasant occasion. There are ladies
enough to give it zest.

STREET RAcING.-The pursuit of dis
tinction takes number of directions in
this bustling world, but one of the most
common in this neighborhood is an aim
to make the idle stare at the wonder
full facility with which the aspirants can
stick to their horses when galloping
through the streets. There is indeed
much i'pomp and circumstance in set
ting small dogs barking. hurrying up
unlucky pedestrians, and calling out the
phrase of "what q pack of fools" from
the side walk throng, and far be it from
US to object to the noble ambition
that prompts men thus to show off their
hired horses and recently acquired abil-
ity to keep on them. To be sure limbs
and lives are sometimes endangered, but
that cannot lessen the admiration of the
feats of the fedglings just trying their
new wings. Besides, if the horse is IL
jured, what right has he to be horse
and don't they pay four or Eve dollars
for the day for him, if they do spoil him!
We believe i: is generally observed that
persons accustomed to horses do not race
them through the streets, or act as il
the fact of their being on horse wal
an object of especial wonder, but we
suppose that is vulgar taste, and the on
ly true way is to rush frantically through
the streets as if you want the most fol
your money.

SAD AccIDxNr-We learn from DR.,
Clark that on Friday last DR.. H. Per
kins, of Illinois, had his leg 80 severely
cut by circular saw at the Penn Val.
ley Saw Mill, that it was necessary to
amputats it about FIVE inches above the
ancle. He was in the act of pushing
some saw dust from before the saw with
his foot, instead Of taking piece of stick
for the purpose, when the saw passed
into the leg, severing both bones, and
much of the muscular part of the leg
and the blood vessels. About three
fourths Of the leg was sawed through.
Amputation was performed by Dr..
Clark of this city, assisted by DR.. Crab
tree of Rough & Ready-the patient be-
ing under the influence of chloroform.
After the leg was of, and nearly bound
up, the patient asked when they would
begin the cutting.

Theatrical.

We learn that the good people Of
Grass Valley fully appreciate the exer-
tions of Messrs. Tuthill & Anderson for
their amusement, and give good en-
couragement to the talent ed company
now at the Alta Hail. On Tuesday
night last Mr.. Barry was saluted with
full house on the occasion of his benefit.
The Repentant, Golden Farmer and Mr..
and Mrs White were played admirably,
and Barry was himself in his best play
ing style. He is autait in the "busi-
ness of his parts and always apt.
Last evening was appointed for the
benefit Of Mr.. G. v. Gates, q good actor,
and laborious student. He aims high
in his profession, and if diligence and
energy can accomplish his object he will
attain it. The plays were Othsllo, and
Family Jars. Mr.. Waller appeared as
Othello, Mr.. Gates as Iago. This at
tractive bill must have had full house.
Tonight is comedy night, and several
fine farces are introduced, including the
memorable Bombastes Furioso, Taylor
as Bombastes, and Anderson as Artaxo.
mines, Barry as Fusbos-a worthy trio
they'll make too. We advise visitors
to look out for their buttons.
Tomorrow night they again revert to
the drama-on the occast n of Mr.. Wal
ler's benefit, when his masterpiece of
Hamlet is played, and piece never
acted there called Turn Out.
On Monday night they bring out the
beautiful play ofIngomar, that was play
ed to crowded houses night after night in
this city--Mr. Waller as Ingomar, the
barbarian, gradually softened by magic
love, and Mrs. Waller as the gentle,
heroic maiden. The beautiful acting Of
the two principal characters in the
piece cannot be excelled. They speak
to the life and bring wildly before the
eye the visions of the author. Barrys
Polydore, the princely old miser, is itself
worth the price of admission to see.
The whole play is luxuriant garden Of
poetic beauties. Ladies do not loose the
opportunity to see this greatest dramatic
miracle since Shakespeare. 1t is new
play, and has commanded the praise OF
acknowledged judges in England and
America.

INDIAN AssAssINATIoN.-We are in
formed by Mr.. w. King of this city, tho
was an eyewitness, that young Indian
of the Valley, of Parks Bar tribe, was
murdered on Sunday last at the Tenn
Gssee House, on the Foster Bar road, by
Ballaca, the Chief of the Mountain or
Prentice tribe. The murdered man
was taking drink of water, short dis
tance from the house, when Ballaca'
slipped up quietly to within few feet
of him, and discharged an arrow into
his left side, in the region of the heart.
The victim lived but few minutes af.
ter receiving the wound. Ballaca made
his escape. The friends of the deceas-
ed Immediately proceeded to burn tho
body-a very interesting ceremony, as
Mr.. King describes it. The two tribes
are to have q regular pitched battle on
Saturday next, in valley three miles
north of the Tennessee House. To the
curious in matters pertaining to Indian
warfare, 6ne opportunity will be afFor-
ded for witnessing that, which, no doubt
will prove very exciting spectacle.

The Sacramento papers give accounts of
shocking murder and attempted suicide in
that city on Tuesday last From the Union we
learn that the residents in the rear neiehbor-
hood of the Marion House on ], Second and
Third streets were reused between two and
three O'Clock in the morning, by the Shrek
ing of woman, and proceeding to small
frame building, found the body of young
and handsome woman lying on the floor,
with the throat cut from ear to ear, and a
heavy cash from the forehead back to the
roots Of the ear. In one of the front rooms,
another man was discovered reeking in blood
from q similar wound. The walls of the
house were bartised in blood. The house
was occupied by Henry E. Stribble and his
wife, who were affectionately devoted to each
other, and the murderer was the brother of
the husband, Joseph Stribble. The pair had
retired to rest in the back part the house,
and had fallen asleep. About the hour men,
toned Mrs. Strible was awakened by the en-.
trance of man through the window, and
gave the alarm by screaming, but was in an
instant after knocked down by the blow of an
axe. A second blow aimed at the husband
inflicted similar wound, but by some good
fortune he escaped ont Of the window
through which the assassin entered. The
murderer followed him short distance,
and then returned and completed his fiendish
work on Mrs. Stribble by half ssvering her
head from her body with razor He then
got out Of the house and attempted sui
eide by cutting his own throat with the razor
Henry and Joseph Stribble were alive at
last accounts, Wednesday night, 10 o'clock,
but it was thought neither could live. Joseph
had but just sufficient consciousness to avow
himself the author of the tragedy by the use
of paper and ink. No motive is known. The
parties are from Baltimore. Henry was about
80 years old, his unfortunate wife, Agnes
"a, and the murderer 2s years. Joseph SET
fire to the curtains after committing the hor-
rible deed, the light of which drew people
more quickly to the spot. The case has

Important Mining Laws.

On the first page will be found the
laws of the Gold Run District recently
enacted. These, in the articles from
nine to eighteen, strike on perfectly
original course and develop method of
settling disputes entirely beyond the
supervision of any court of justice. This
novel method is enforced by the heaviest
penalty. as see Art. 18th:
"Any person who shall violate or re-
fuse to be governed by the foregoing
laws in this district, shall not be entitled
to hold any mining ground in the same"
The method devised is, first, to refer
all matters in dispute to arbitrators-
Secondly, an appeal is allowed from the
decision of these. to the Recorder" be.
fore whom regular jury trial is to be
holden, and the decision there obtained
shall be final. This of course excludes
all appeal to the constituted Courts, and
cuts off as far as that District is concern
cerned, the profitable business Of litiga-
tion-proftable to lawyers and judges.
The reflection occurs to US that the
Recorders Court contemplated by these
laws has no special advantages over the
regular Justices court, where much the
same process may be pursued, and no
good reason can be given for this new
judicial creation unless those who thus
determine to act Independently Of the
courts have learned 10 expect no justice
of the tribunals heretofore appealed to.
But there can be no question of the
right of my mining district to make
laws for the government Of its mining
interests, and to require that all persons
who hold claims within its limits con-
form to any procedure in reference to
their claims that it may adopt. The
Legislature has placed this authority in
each district by requiring all courts OF
Justice in the State to be governed in
mining cases by the local mining laws.
Therefore, though the Gold Run District
cannot really eoerce its miners to ab-
stain from law, it nevertheless may and
has affixed penalty upon litigants that
it is able to enforce, and which the
courts themselves, in conformity with
the State laws, will be obliged to recog-
ni4e and act in accordance with. For
instance, any person bringing o suit at
law for any claims must do SO with ref
erence to miners law, and if he gains
his euit he still must lose his claim, be-
cause those laws declare such litigants
or other violators Of the laws ''shall not
be entitled to held any mining ground"
The decision of the court could not con-
travene this plain provision of q law as
perfectly binding as any emanating d.
rectly from the Legislature.
But it rarely happens that violent or
unusual changes are sustained. We
have an impression the miners of Gold
Run will yet see the necessity Of. revert
ing to the usual courts of justice for the
settlements of their disputes. Prejudice
against any particular judge should not
lead to condemnation of the whole sys-
TEN of machinery Of justice, which,
whore not disfgursd by the personal
vanity or corruption Of the judge, is the
pride Of the American name, and the
safe bulwark Of freedom.
