SATURDAY MORNING, MARCH IA, 1857
The Past Week.

Th past week, for news has not been
one of unusual interest, apart from the
large number of theatricals and public
lectm es with which our town has been
visited. There has not been night du-
ring the week that some public lecture
or amusement has not been advertised.
The amount of gold dust bought at the
different banking houses, is favorable to
the prosperity of our town, and the min
ing news from the different localities In
the vicinity, are highly favorable. At
Union Hill, we learn that extremely
rich strikes have been made during the
week just ended
On Monday and Tuesday evenings, a
very interesting Sabbath School Exhibi-
tion came off at the Theatre, under the
supervision of Mr.. True, of this place.
We shall publish the exercises entire on
next Saturday morning.
A dangerous invasion upon the rights
of the public, was made by party of
miners at the foot of Main street, during
the week, entirely running the road, as
well as making it dangerous to life and
prejudicial to the rights of property in
the vicinity. tits right that, these men
should give security for all damages that
may accrue upon the working of this
road
A verdict of murder has been found at
Sonora, against one of the McCauleys,
the direct murderer of Bond at Shaw's
Flat, last fall. A verdict of manslaugh-
ter in the first degree, was rendered
against the brother as accessory to the
deed.
The last nuisance of Friday evening
was the perpetration of" Lucy Neal" Oh
a hand organ, belonging to one Of the
itiuerants of the profession. We cali at
tention to a notice on Charley Bassett's
bulletin board.

EDWARD McGowAN-Thls notorious
individual is now in San Francisco, hav
ing after his peregrinations of near eleven
months duration, ruturned to that place
and given himself up to the officers OF
the law
On last Tuesday week, Mr.. Hunt, of
San Bernal dino, introduced a bill into
the Assembly, changing venue of his
trial to the sixth District Court. held at
Sacramento. After spirited debate, a
motion was made to reject the bill, but
was defeated by 80 noes against 81 ayes,
when the House adjourned. The bill
was again. called up on Wednesday. and
referred to the judiciary Committee.
This bill has since been abandoned, and
an amendment to the criminal law pro-
posed and passed in the Assembly with
a view to effect the same purpose. The
amendment is now in the possession of
the Senate.

New DTTCH-The Columbia and
Stanislaus River Water Co., are progress
ing rapidly in the final completion Of this
ditch. The immense tunnel running
through the dividing ridge between the
Tuolumne and Stanislaus rivers, embrac-
ing distance of 24OO feet, is completed
to within 700 feet of the terminus, and is
progressing at the average rate of 10 feet
per day. 1t will probably be completed
by the first of June. Mr.. Fletcher of this
place has nearly completed the erection
of saw mill on the south fork of the
Stanislaus river-the property of this
ditch; and the large reservoir east OF Co
lumbia is in a condition to hold, at least
20 feet of water. The additional works
on this ditch are progressing most favor
ably

RoAD TO THE DEAD-In an article
published two weeks ago, we called at
tention to the miserable condition of the
road leading to the grave yard, and sug-
gested that something should be done to
effect an improvement. Since then,
Messrs Abbott and Porterield, have in
formed US that they will give permission
for the establishment of road running
from Pacific street. back through their
ground to the grave yard; thereby af-
fording gradual grade, up to the ground
on which the cemetery is situated.
The only conditions imposed by these
gentlemen, are that, the town shall build
a fence enclosing the road thus located in
their premises, which can be done at
trifing cost
We call the attention of our Town
Trustees to this fact, and hope they may
deem it advisable to make the trihing ap-
preparation, for the completion of road
so desirable. In its present condition,
the road to the grave yard is disgrace
to Columbia, and especially when little
expense will remedy the evil.

SpRING.-The Spring season is appar-
emily opening out in all its loveliness and

dens are undergoing Improvement, and
indeed everything in the mountains beto-
kens the issuing forth of better times and
