The INDIAN FIGHT. - The Nevada
democrat in relation to the recent fight
near that place between party of Nevada
and Yuba Indians, says:
The combatants numbered about four
or five hundred on each side, and were
armed with guns, bows and arrows The
hattie commenced about eight O'Clock and
lasted about two hours. 1t resulted in the
defeat or rather dispersion of the Nevada
Indians. One of the last named is re-
norted killed, and three of the Yubas.
MANY were wounded, although we were
unable to obtain the exact number. 1t is
said the Nevada tribe fled because they
had the best of the fight in killing three
of their adversares. The contest was
beeun with bows and arrows, but guns
were not used till near the close. The
Indians do not shoot :heir arrows in a
straight line at their foes, but into the air,
causing them to fall in the midst of their
enemies. In case they miss the mark, the
arrows stick into the ground, and the op-
posite party pick them up and shoot them
back In this way no ammunition is lost.
AcCIDENT.-On Tuesday morning last,
Wnlle the Lighthouse OoillPdhy dt Lulehd

observed the bank giving way, and all
made their escape except Mr.. Silas IL. c.
Blair, who was buried in mass Of earth
and rocks and killed. Mr. Blair lost his
life by delaying but moment to obtain a
lantern which they had been using on the
previous night. He was found buried
under some brush and rubbish, standing
erect, still retaining his grasp of the hoe
he was using when the alarm was given.
He was but 25 years Of age and leaves a
