dies in Ravenna of which the same can be
said, and if this is reason why the sheriff
should take the jurors to Jail. then, on the
same grounds. he ought to Ego the rounds"
and take them to a hundred other places.
Of the sheriff we have nothing to say at

was decending shaft on the Psscce dig.
ggings, on the brow of Eureka Hill when
the bucket in which he was standing gave
way, and he was suddenly Pricipitated to the
bottom OF the shaft, distance of sixty OF
seventy feet He had in his hand, at the
time, a saw, auger and chisel, and falling
upon these, he was horribly lacerated. The
Grass Valley Telegraph says be is at pres

is very wonderful.
I copy the above from the San Francis.
co Weekly Chronicle Of May 10Th.
Mr.. Pike is from Windham, Portage CO.
Ohio. He came hither in the Spring OF
1852, and has followed mining for the
most of the time; for more than two years,
in the vicinity of Grass Valley. AS an
honest hearted, noble minded, persevereing
young man, but few are his equals. Should
this accident prove fatal, his loss will be
deplored, not only by bis hardy mining
friends, but by large circle of relatives and
warm friends at home.

such convention. 1t has already been
dedicated and used as a place of meeting
for:the dark )antefn party; and it is of course
highly proper they should use it again.

EUROPE AND AFRICA UNITED BY TELEGRAPH.
"A recent Bulletin of the Geographical Society
of Paris contains fre sh information in respect to
the telegraph line which is intended to unite
Europe to Africa, and probably to India. The
cable is already laid down between Spezzia, in
Northern Italy, and Cape Carso, on the Island of
Corsica. After having traversed Corsica, the
Straits of Bonifacio, and the Island of Sardinia
will proceed to the Isle of Galta, thence to the
Island of Taborca which is adjacent to the AT
rican shore. From this place two branches will
proceed-one towards Gale, for the accommo-
dation of Algeria the other towards Cape Bonto
gain the Island of Maria and Levant. A valley
of thousand metres in depth, lover half mle)
which separates Cape Spartivento from the Isle
of Galita, offers somo difficulties to carrying of
the telegraph cable in that part of the Mediter-
ranean, but no doubt is entertained of complete
success.
