A WEr BEr.-A German who had
been imbibing a hide too much Of The
natiue ON Sunday afternoon, made bet
OF treats all round, the circle amounting
10 about bakers dozen, that hr would
throw somerset into the canal from
the Vine Street Bridge. Mounting the
paling, he made a gymnastic effort, but,
alas! he had already imbibed so much
lager beer, which in its spiritual nature
had flown upward, that he was top.hea.
wy anI went down in perpendicular
line, head frst-his head sticking in the
mud, and his feet cutting the pigeons
wing above the surface Of the water. In
"a few seconds the legs disappeared and
the head came up, minus hat, which
had been left in the bed Of the canal.
After scrambling to the bank, he discov.
cred that he had lost the wager, as he
had only made the dive without accom-.
plishing the somerset. So he got duck.
ing, lost his hat and had to treat beside.

MEssRs. LEE & MARSHALL performed on
asst nj ght to large and well pleased audience.
Many features in the performance were entirely
new, and they gained a great accession Of pop
ularity.
Tonight they give the benefit to the School
Fund when there should be full turn out.
Let them see that the public appreciate their
liberality, and will second it. The object is
one Of the noblest that can engage attention
Upon it depend the future interests of the state
and nation. AS our children are educated, so
is stamped their destiny. A man who sends a
child forth to the struggles of life unfortifed by
education dooms it to the position of an un-
derling. OR to q shameful career. This is the
general rule. This republic is free and prosper
Gus, neighbor, because you and I, and all of us
were brought up in community OF free schools
of carefully instiled intelligence, and we owe
the duty to the future that was performed fol
US. Come out, everybody and help along the
good cause. 1t will only cost you a couple
dollars, and your example is worth that

A Row.--A boy, abolt 9 years old, who re-
joices in the lucrative occupation of itinerant
candy seller, offered his wares for sale to Mr..
Hines, on Broad street, 6 rival, but stationary
dealer. Mr.. II not satisfied with simple ne
cation, gave emphasis to his refusal by pitch
lug stone into the boys basket, breaking all
his candy. A crowd instantly gathered, and
told the boy to lamn him with a stick. The
boy took the advice, and gave Mr.. H. several
tolerably tough blows on the head with a stick
when that valiant aggressor retreated. The
crowd also made him pay the boy for his spoilt
wares AS the excitement was subsidng, the
town Marshal came along in a considerably
balmy state Of mind, and complicated the row
by hammering several Of the bystanders. 1t
was very striking exemplifcation of discrim-
mating performance Of duty.

ExrRA.-We republish for the benefit
of our interior rea ders our extra of Friday
Our paper was the only one above Sacra-
mento that gave the important news by
this arrival to the public. An erroneous
notion seems to afflict some worthy persons
that extras should not be charged for to
regular subscribers. Now it is fact that
hardly enough extras can ever be sold to
pay the mere expenses to the telegraphing,
and the labor, hurry, and interruption OF
business consequent on getting out an extra
are nearly always entirely gratuitous On
the part of the printer. We ask a fair
price for our paper, one our subscribers
must believe to be fair, for they take it,
and an extra is great additional expense.
We ask of the public only enough to pay
for telegraphing, and we will put ourselves
out to do the work for nothing, as we have
heretofore done. One noble-hearted man
recently stopped his paper because the
carrier would not give him an extra. We
have not learned if he since borrows of a
neighbor, Eve hope he does, SO that he
NAV see this tribute to his generosity or
if he gives to a man who buys of him a
bag of flour, an extra bag for the patron
age.

GIFT ENTERPRIsE.-Will any of the papers
Of San Francisco tell us if there is firm in
that city by the name of Todd, Williams & Co.
No. 5, Court block? Whether fictitious or
not, such firm has been selling tickets for a
grand Gift Enterprise" to take place on the
10th Of October Over 500 tickets were sold
in this place alone. No news of the postpone
ment of the affair has been published, but tele-
graphic news says the thing has burst up. Is
it possible that such an extensive swinde has
taken place in San Francisco, without word
of comment from the press The scheme was
for 100000. In the schedule Of prizes is the
Commercial Hotel at San Francisco, besides
several other buildings of value Some con-
cert of action should be taken to bring the
scoundrels who have been thus Meiggsing the
people of the state to justice.

How HE DOES 1T "A friend from Forest
City informs US that on Sunday, Sth inst, he
was in that place. About noon man came
riding rapidly through the main street, with a
tri-cornered banner fastened to the front of the
saddle, and blowing horn right Justify. The
street was crowded with multitude astonished
at the rare phenomenon. The rider dashed
through the town to the bridge, with an ar
my of excited dogs at his horses heels, which
evidently deemed the matter case for their
decided interference He turned on the bridge
and galloped back in the midst Of the distanced
crowd, while the dogs not liking his sharp an
gies, or unable to keep up, pitched into one
another, aud kept up their own excitement in
very noisy squabble. Meanwhile the rider
called out at the top of his voice, "a temper
ance meeting will take place Immediately 4;
come up, all Of you" A temperance meeting
did take place, and in short time, fifty char
ter members were obtained for division Of the
Sons in Forest City. The rider was Rev. l.

COUNTY HosPITAL.-We learn that
Drs. ALBAN g. HUNT have been appointed
by the court of Sessions as physicians of
the county Hospital, under the fund pro-
vided by the State. The object is chari-
table in its nature, and patients are ad-
mitted on an order from the Court of Ses-
sions. A suitable building will be provi-
ded Immediately, to carry out the humane
intention of the legislature. The institu-
ton is a public necessity, and we are
heartily glad the means have been taken
to render assistance to the destitute
Public charity has not been cold hereto
fore in the matter, and many men in the
community have responded literally when
called on to contribute to relieve distress.
The Odd Fellow and Masonic Lodges
have contributed freely for sick strangers
of their organizations. But to render ef-
fectual aid in many cases, public insti-
tuition is needed. The appointment of
physicians is judic;ous, both gentlemen
being experienced in their profession, and
having public confidence.

parties to the affair were Irishmen, and a
party of Americans took it up, determined
to clean the Irish out. The next evening
after the outrage on Sherman party Of
thirty or forty Americans assembled near
Sherman's house, and commenced making
noise, when the Irish police set upon
them, but were soon dispersed by the use
Of revolvers. The victors then made al
onslaught on several Irish groggerles,
breaking the bottles, and making tre-
mendous row generally. The next day
the Irish residents armed themselves with
a musket piece, and some of them with
two, and selected St. Mary's Market as
their rendezvous, ''where the brogue and
gunpowder were mixed with large quanti-
ties of whiskey worth forty cents per gall
lon." They were furious in their denun-

out all scores old and new. On Sunday,
the 10th, counter demonstration was

several peaceable individuals, who hap
pened to be passing, and their foes retail
ated on them. Next day the military
were called out. AS night approached the
Americans gathered in Lafayette square,
and in front of City Hall, the Irish still
keeping possession of St. Mary's Market
About midnight seven or eight Americans
found themselves near the corner o
Girod and Magazine streets, surrounded
by fifty or sixty Irish. They used then
arms with effect, killing two of the
lrishmen, and badly wounding three OF
four more, and putting the whole croud
to rout. On Tuesday night the disturb
