Josiah Emery, of Canton, was tried at Ded !.

ling one quart of cider TO one Brien. The
sale was clearly proved, but, on cross exam

the jury that the government, having alleged
the cider to be an intoxicating liquor, were
bound to prove it so, or lose the case. The
court did so, and the jury returned verdict
of "not guilty"

self. Banjo-playing, bones, fiddle, African tenor

BLASTING PAPER FOR MINERS There
has lately been discovered, says the Maripo-
so Gazette, what is called by the name of
blasting paper" an article pronounced by
old miners desideratum in their mining
operations. 1t is thin, flexible, and perfect
ly SOLID, impervious to water or moisture,
and not pore exists in it. Water may be
kept in it twenty four hours without losing
q drop; and farther, an egg may be boiled
in it on stove, and yet the paper not be wet
through by the boiling watsr. In drill
hole it will not occupy SO much room as the
thick paper usually made use of in wet pla-
ces; and whatever length of time it may be
kept there by accident, the powder will be
kept dry, and thereby not only is the price
of the powder saved, but the labor of drill
ing out end recharging the blast. This will
greatly facilitate mining operations

7. W. PARK, The BULLETINS PET.-In
the Fourth District Court, at San Francisco,
on Saturday, ii. NJ. Naglee made an afida-
Wit accusing 7. W. Park Of buying up over
three hundred thousand dollars worth of the
claims against the broken house, with the
funds belonging to the New York house. -
Mr.. Park has accused Naglee of perjury,
and claims to prove by affidavits the truth of
the charge. The hobby upon which the Bui-
letin first commenced riding into notice, was
its zeal for the dear creditors Of Adams &
Co., and Park, as their champion, was daubed
and plastered with adulation at an absurd
rate. The creditors aforesaid are puzzled
at present to tell who made the most out of
them, l. C. Woods, the lawyers, or the Bul-
letin. Probably Woods came out length
behind in the rush.
