Youthful Trauelter-Virgil NJ Easman, lad of l3
wears of age, arrived In this city last Wednesday
morning. on the Richmond and Fredericksburg
cars, and as he had no money, and knew no one in
the city, was taken charge of by gentleman, and
turned over to the Mayor for protection. In con
versation with the lad. we gathered the following
facts relative to hia history: About three years
ago. his father, Jacob Eastman, . carpenter by
trade came to Richmond with his wife aud family,
to reside. After being here few days, be sent his
son Virgil to Wiliiamsport, Pennsylvania, TO live
with Jacob Hayes, farmer of that place, where
he remained until few days since, without ever
hearing from his psrents. Believing that Hayes
did not treat him "a kindly as he should, Virgil dc.
termued to return here In search Of ais father but
on his arrival could learn nothing OF his where's
bouts Not knowing what course TO pursue be
stated his situation to gentleman yesterday, and
was at once taken to the Mayor, who now has nim
In charge, and will provide for him TIL Mr. Hayes
can be heard from He says that be has two BRO
thers in Syracuse. New York. who are .oidsr.n

Water and Gns.


The Board of Trustees have acted wisely in
giving into so good hands as Mr.. Garri-
otis the right of way in our streets to lay
water pipes. Mr.. GarrIott has given us an
earnest of his enterprise by the work which
he as already done, and richly deserves the
protection thus extended to him by the town
authorities. Both Mr.. Garrio:t and the
town are gamers by the provisions of the
contract, he being secured for 10 years by
an exclusive grant, and the right to use the
water in providing against fire being guar
anteed to the town. Those precautions hint
ed at in the contract as published elsewhere,
ought to be adopted - cisterns should be
built and filled with water at the principal
corners, and when they are finished and
hlled, an engine should be purchased if pos
sible Without an engine, of course the
cisterns would be Of little avail. But this
engine subject seems to have been already
exhausted. 1t is "before the people, and
has been for long, long while, and we are
afraid it will remain so until we are seorched
into action in the matter.
The Gas question which we thought set
tied by previous contract with Messrs.
Wethered and Tiffany of the Pacific G as Com
pany is, it appears still unsettled. Howev-
er, another contract is to be made with them
which, we trust, will ensure the speedy con-
sumation Of the project, and perhaps cause
our streets to be lighted early in the Spring
We had "fondly hoped" to have seen Croville
by lamplight ere this, but we are doubtless
doomed to plod through the mud in darkness
for this winter at least
Oroville would indeed be model city, fer
young one, if her streets and buildings
were lighted with gas and she was provided
with efficient iire apparatus in addition to
the ''water privileges" she now has and is TO
have. Most probably another summers
sun will shine upon tho Gas works and lamp
posts, but that "hobby horse of ours, that
engine, when will the citizens man her
brakes' "They say" that the Town Char
ter must be amended before a special tax
can be levied to raise funds te purchase fire
apparatus. If such is the fact, why not
strive to obtain an amendment by act of the
incoming Legislature What say our wise
men,
Oroville daily Butte record., 1857-12-09

HORRIBLE For the benefit of such loy-
crs of the horrible as read the Record, we
publish the following snake story, which we
find in the Folsom Dispatch:
Some three weeks ago, man Of the name of
McNair was going the rounds of our streets
begging for money, that he migth go to San
Francisco and have his body opened in or
der to take therefrom two live snakes This
man was in Folsom some eight months be-
fore. and was relieved Of third snake he
had in him, through some medicine given
him by DIR. Higgins, but it so much reduced
him rs to cause the Doctor to aba ndon the
operation, for fear Of fatal consequences.
The two yet remaining, one large and the
other smell snake, who, by their continual
movings and cravings, make the life of the
wretched man 80 irksome that he has resolv-
sd to undergo the operation of being opened
probably at the loss Of life. He is hearty
eater, but is still emaciated, ghe larger OF
two snakes generally remain in stupified
state unless hungry, when bite causes the
poor man to vince, while the little snake is
very restless, and causes much more pain,
being continually moving and nipping the
flesh. How the snakes ever came in his bo-
dy. is study for the curious. and how they
are to be elected therefrom, is study for
the shillful surgeon who undertakes the job,
for we deem it impossible to make the oper-
alton without costing the patient his life
but life has few attractions for him.
