The STATE FAIR AT SToCKToN-We hear of
several parties who are preparing articles for
premiums at the State Fair, to be held in Stock

beauty of design and elegance of workmanship.

VNIIE INHABITANTS OF CAVE CITY would
Il respectfully call the attention of the citi-
zens of San Andreas and vicinity to the incal-
culable advantages to be derived from the uni
ted efforts of all who interested in construct
ing a Wagon Road from Cave City to the Big
Trees. The advantages of such road as well
as the practicability and small expense attend
ing its construction, is too apparent to need
comment.
For the purpose of effecting which, meet
ing of the citizens of Cave City was held on
Saturday, July llth inst. Meeting called to
order by G.. V. McNair, President, and D. X.
Rice, Secretary. After considerable discus
sion, a committee of four persons was appointed
to survey and locate said road, to determine, as
near as possible, the cost of its construction,
and that said committee render report ac-
cOrdingly at meeting to be held at Burdicks
Saloon, Cave City, on Saturday, July 18th.
A resolution was then passed that bills be
posted in several different sections of the neigh
borhood, respectfully inviting all persons to at
tend the meeting at Gave City on the 18th
Meeting of the 18th called to order by c. V
McNair, President, and D. K. Rice Secretary
Mr.. McNair, one of the Committee appointed to
lay out said road reported, that with about
three miles grading, good road could be
made to the San Antonio Falls at the river, and
that from thence parties engaged in the lum-
bering business would guarantee to extend it
by intersecting with the Murphy road to the
Big Trees. The Committee further stated that
the whole cost of construction would not cx-
ceed two thousand dollars
A resolution was then passed that COM
mittee of five persons be chosen from the fol-
lowing localities, for the purpose of circulating

struction of said road VIM. Butts, Cave City :;

SLIPPERY CHINAMEN.-One day this week a

officer. The prisoner begged to be allowed to
retire to another room for the purpose of chang
ing his clothes, which privilege he took advan-
tage of: and escaped through the window. Mr.
A. ii. Box overhaued and re-arrested him.
Another Chnaman, named Wrong Fun, was ar
rested by the Deputy Sheriff, who, having oc-
casion to go out, handle uffed the prisoner tied
his feet to the bed-post and cue to the foot

In ERRoR-The Sacramento Union is GER
tainly mistaken in the statement that stage
made the trip over the mountains from Genoa
to Placerville in twelve hours. Messrs. Alvin
Fisher, Louis McLane and Allan McLane, made
the trip from Genoa to Stockton in twenty-six
hours, in two-horse buggy, without changing
the stock. But no such time by such con-
veyance can ever be made on the Placerville
route, unless the thirty mile tunnel Is built.

BRUTAL AssAULT.-On last Tuesday diff
Guilty occurred between two companies of
miners working on the South Fork of the Gala
veras in which man named Michael Kelly
most brutally beat some Frenchmen, nearly
killing one of them by the name of B. Boylat,
who was so badly injured as to prevent his at
tending the trial as a witness until near the
close of the proceedings. There was abundant
proof to show the fact that Kelly used shovel
in beating the Frenchmen. man named
James OMarley also threw rock and menaced
the Frenchmen during the assault Complaint
was made before Justice Stevens, who very
properly fined Kelly 5000 and O'Marley SlOO
This was one of the most aggravated cases of
unmericiful beating ever perpetrated in this
county. We speak thus, as, recently many cases
of assault and battery have occurred, which we
have failed to notice, not wishing to make such
matters public. But the press must notice such
fagrant cases Of outrage, or there is no rebuke !;
and unless Justices punish such crimes ade-
quate to the offence, there is no safety to COM
munity.

wife, Bell and Smith were behind the bar
heard Bell say, Don't hurt the woman %
Bell and Smith had hold of Forester; then
went out to the front room saw no provo
colt, given to cause Forester to strike the
blow; saw neither of the defendants strike
Forester; saw no one strike him; saw moth
ing thrown at any one The crowd was quiet
and respectful; when saw Forester no one
had struck him; the three were behind the
bar contendlng; Forester was down, and the
others had hold of him.
Mr.. Hollinshead then closed the testimo-
ny for the defence, bearing on the fact that
no murderous intent was proven in either of
the defendants, and that no one saw either
of them strike blow ON the prosecuting
witness which would have produced the
wound shown to the Court. He therefore
moved the discharge of defendants.
Henry Hale, Esq, replied on the part of
the prosecution, and made an eloquent plea,
showing the discrepancy in the testimony for
defence, and necessity for some action in
the case Of these men, who had evidently
broken laws, murderously assaulted quiet
citizen, and created a riot in his house.
Judge Simons said that he thought that
the testimony was sufficient to cause them
to appear before jury, evenif it found them
guilty of smaller offence than charged in
the complaint. He could not, therefore, dis
charge the defendants, and let them go free,
when they had evidently committed crime.
He therefore held them both in $1,000 recog
nizance, to appear before the next District
Cont
