ChlorofoIm and Robbery OH the Cars.

On Friday evening, ON our way from Utica 10
Ilion,a young lady by the name of Parker inform
ed us that Mrs. David Wright of Toronto, had
been robbed IN the cars near Poughkeepsie, on
Thanksgiving night. under the following crcum
stances:
She was on her return home from Baltimore
Among the passengers who had got on board the
train at Baltimore was tall dark eyed, well
dressed, and gcnteel looking ledy, who sat down
by the side of Mrs. Wright. Are you travelling
alone p asked the stranger. II am was the re-
ply. GLOW far are you going :" ITO Canada
was the answer. The conversation thus common
ced was continued for long time. They passed
through Philadelphia and New York on the most
friendly terms, and were hurryng along the
Hudson road, when the stranger inquired of Mrs.
W. if she could change 4 five dollar bill for her.
Mrs W. replied that she could not. and in order
to show her willingness 10 do so, had she been
able, she pulled out her wallet. and displayed
three twenty dollar gold pieces, ten dollar gold
piece, some small change. and u check BY and
by Mrs. W. complained of pain i'll the head.
OH said the stranger II have some Cologne

will doubtless relieve you" Mrs. w. mmedi-
atey sank to sleep, and remained insensible UNI
til the conductor shook her awake and demand
cd her ticket 1t was with the utmost difficulty
he could wake her. He finally hoisted the win
dow of the car, and the fresh air relieved the ua-
fortunate woman. She put her hand into her
pocket to get the ticket. when, to her sh-
ment and dismay. She found that her wallet CON
tanning her money her ticket and her check had
gone, aud the elegant gold pin she had upon her
bosom gone. and the strange woman, who
had been So attentive, had also disappeared.
The gentlemany conductor endeavored to
console her with the promise that he would see
toh her baggage at Albany. But when they arri-
we'd at Albany it was ascertained that there was
no baggage there for her. The baggage master
said a lady and gentleman got off, think at
Hudson and said that their baggage directed to
Albany must be left there and not taken to the
place they first intended to leave it. In this way
Mrs.Wright lost her money, her jewelry,and her
clothing, -Hioni independent.

The Legislature do not seem to regard our ia
nous I" cholera code" something intangibly
sacred Numerous propositions have been sub
mitted to amend. alter or repeal its provisions
Among these propositions is an important one,
introduced some days ago by the able and popu-
lar Senator from the Buckingham District, Mr..
irving. providing that when the statute of limi.
tations is pleaded in bar of suit for debt,t shall
be verified by an affidavit that the debt sued for
has been paid This strikes US as being Just and
right. The theory upon which statutes of limi
tation in cases of debt is based and justified is
that the debt has been paid, and the evidence of
payment lost. We are aware that there are
other minor reasons. hut none that sustain the
morality of the statute. The amendment pro-
posed by Nr. Irving would not destroy its proteo-
tive power in cases which it was designed orgi-
nally to reach. As the law stands, hundreds of
debtors avail themselves of it dishonestly-not
unfrequenty when they owe the opportunity for
so doing to the kindness and indulgence of the
creditor. In morals, a debt unpaid is as much
the right and property of the creditor at the end
offifty years day and the law which deprives
him ofany remedy, which he once had,is against
good morals and invites dishonesty. We hope
to see Mr.. Irying's amendment incorporated into
the code.

JupoE MoNsoN.-We have copied upon our
outside an article from the San Francisco Sum-
relative to Ida Vanard, in which disparaging al
lusions are madeto the conduct of Judge Monson.
Since the outside was printed we have observed
card from Judge NJ, in the Sacramento papers,
from which we extract the following. After
quoting the exceptionable portion, he says:
The above contains base SANDER, and hope
will be corrected by the editor if satisfied that
such is the case. The Judiciary should have the
confidence of the community. and no editor is
justified in publishing to the world charges
against Judge grave those contained in
the above paragraph unless he has ascertained
and knows that they are true. | never gave adj
rice to the prisoner, either before after the trial
| never spoke to saw her before she was
brought before me for arraignment-I have ncu-
spoken to or her since. | alluded to the
conduct and appearance of the prisoner at the
trial not for the purpose of interesting the jury
in Ter behalf, but for the purpose of cautioning
them not TO be influenced by it.

E" Peputiam" writing from Grizzly Gulch,
exhibits undue interest in regard to ourself.
We are unworthy of such manifestation of his
friendship. True, he gives as reason therefor,
that he has been constant reader Of onr pa
per from It's commencement" We are pleased
with the compliment thus delicately conveyed
to us, although we confess that i, would have
been greatly enhanced in our estimation, if
g Peputiam " had been sufficiently generous to
have paid us for his use of the Courier. The la
borer is worthy of his hire. However, "Pep-
ntiam ~ will pardon us if doubt his word.
for we have sufficient vanity to believe, that no
one who has been constant reader of our pa
per from its commencement wond. like Sc Pep
utiam' in his letter, make such consummate ass
of himself. Evidently the Foolkiller has not
visited Grizzly Guch recently.

Through the politeness of the Horsey & Bras

Union of the 18th inst, and the Table Rock Sen
Hnel of the Srh.
The Sentinel, published at jacksonville, o. t.,
estimates the number OF warriors within the linn
its of that Agency, at from 800 to 400 In regard
to these Indians the same paper remarks:
Had the whites no other Indians than those
of the hostile bands, within this Agency to con-
tend with, the light soon be closed. The
most of them are individual warriors of the
most desperate character. from the lower Rogue
river, the Coast, and the Klainath valley bands
Indians without whom these bands might be
kept under the control of the Agency. The
party is not so much an alliance of bands,
a combination of individuals from every To-
cality, who have been always and everywhere
exhibiting the most implacable hatred to the
whites, and who, to crafty passion for blood
and plnnder, have constantly sought to involve
the in war. This region has been chosen
for their operations, because it contains the most
inaccessible mountain Businesses, and affords the
most complete shelter and the best advantages
for their peculiar mode of warfare. And the
extreme difficulty of reaching them with supe-
rior force. shows how well their position has
been chosen.
Men wonder that Indians should have be-
come so expert in the use of rifles 50 recently
obtaned-but the wonder ceases when we un-
dersand that their many unerring marksmen
are men from other places, who have long been
in the use of guns-some Of whom have been
trained to their use until they are equal to our
best ritiemen.
The Union complains of the failure of the Ore
gon mail, in consequence of which, it has no
news from the seat of war later than the 24th

A BRAVE Acr.-One day last week, the dri-
yer of one of the California Stage Company s
stages was thrown from his box, a short distance
this side of Cottonwood. The team at once
commenced going at frightful pace. The ont
side passengers jumped of, and the chances for
beautiful smash-up were quite fatterng. This
would doubtless have been the consequence, but
Tor the conduct of Mr.. Lusk, Messenger of the
Pacific Express, who, with daring seldom
equaled, climbed from the inside of the stage
upon the drivers foot board thence upon the
tongue OF the stage, and finally upon the back of
the near wheel horse, from which position. he
gathered up the lines, and brought the fright
ened team, and still more frightened passengers,
safely up to the Cottonwood station Mr.. L..
certainly deserves the thanks of the inside pas
sengers for his intrepid conduct
