The trial Of the {. Lepeling Commitlce,"
is exciting considerable interest among the
Goshen people. 1t appears some dozen
Young men, members Of the best families
in the north part of The town, constituted
the committee, whose aim was to rid the
place Of disreputahle characters by ieceiing
their tenements, in case fair warning did
not elect the Object. On the night OF the
2ad ultimo, the cabin Of Robert Johnson,
negro familiar ia times past with the atten-
tons Of neighbor Sedgwick, was raced
one stone not being left upon another; for
which offence certain young men were to
have their trial on Monday last. The me-
GRO had, meanwhile, entered and occupied
another tenement belonging to the same
owner-wLich shared the fate Of his former
habi,a,ion on the evening preceding the
trial. The examination occupied Monday
and Tuesday, when foul &c she committee
were bound over 10 the next County Court.
Bceman and Graves u Litchfeld, were
counsel for defendants, and Peet Of Canaan,
for prosecution. On The trial it was testi-
f;ed that a Society of this kind had existed
for seventy years in the place, and had done
more towards promoting the public welfare

The Star of the West arrived at New

gers and 100000 in specie. Miners were
generally doing well; on Canyon creek

been destroyed by FIRE; loss $4,000.
In Sacramento city the know. nothings
elected James ]. English, mayor, and the
whole board of city officers, except one
alderman. The bill which passed the as
sembly for re-districting the state, renders
special election of Congressman necessa--
ry, and will deprive the state of its repres--
entatives in Congress for two or three
months, as it is believed that Denver and
Herbert, those elected to the new Congress,
cannot under the old apportionment, get.
their seats. The grand jury of San Franz.
cisco had presented several Of the city

FIRE IN THE WooDs.-rhe woods on the
mountain near Sharon Station. says the
Armenia Times. caught fire on Friday last,
from swamp that had been burnt over near
by. When the flames were first discovered
progressing toward the mountain, only three
or four persons were near enough to render
assistance, who, not daring to leave the
fire for moment, proceeded with the ut
most energy TO head off the raging element,
though they had nothing but their naked
hands to work with. The wind was blow
ing terribly from the northwest at the time
and aided greatly in extending the fire,
which spread so fast that it was difficult TO
keep up with it. After the most severe.
exertion, however, they succeeded in BRUSH
ing away the leaves and underbrush for
distance Of at least halfa mile, and thus
arrested the further advance Of the flames.
About thirty, acres Of ground were burnt
over, but the young sprouts were all that
suffered. 1.-THE utmost efforts had not been
made, the whole county might have been
wrapped in the confagration. People cam
not be too careful in burning their swamps,
and should especially avoid setting them on
fire when the wind is unfavorable.

The State Of Vermont. At present, the jails
of-that State do not average three occupants

Union which can show such an exemption
