From the Nevada Journal we gather the
following items. An ARRAY occurred at Eu-
reka, Nevada county, between a man named
Henry Managin and another named julius
Reidel. Managin assaulted Eeidel with
knife, cutting him severely in the face, at
the same time holding a cooked pistol to his
head Reidel seized carving knife and de-
Tended himsel with it, and finally stabbed
Managin SO severely that he died. Reidel
was examined and acquitted.

SENATOR FOR SACRAMENTO COUNTY
One of the very best nominations that has
been made in any county in the State. is
that of W. l. Ferguson, Esq, for Senator
of Sacramento county. He is strong ad-
vocate of the rights of the Settlers, was the
originator of the celebrated Settlers bill,
and fought manfully for its passage. His
eminent talents and his sound Democracy
are additional qualifications, WHICH will add
greatly to his strength and popularity be-
fore the people, and his election is probably
beyond doubt

AFFRAys IN TRINITY CoUNTY.--On the
morning OF the 4th, says the Trinity Jour

into quarrel in front of the Magnolia Sa-

the other named Pat. Kelly four times in
the back The wounded man was imme-
diately taken to Dr. Gordon, who dressed
his wounds which were at first supposed to
fair way to recover. The cause of the fra
cas- was--whiskey. Martin fed and has
not yet been arrested, but the prompt and
ably prevent him from going far until he is
escorted according to law.

Four MEN DRowNED.-0n Friday, July
Sd. says the Siskiyou Chronicle, four men.
two brothers named Kotz, and two others
named Bach and VALERIE, started to cross
the Klamath river in a small boat, lust
above rapid, about six miles below the
mouth of Humbug. When fairly in the
stream, the water being very rough, the
boat was drawn into the rapid, where it
was perfectly unmanageable, and soon
struck rock and capsized The men we're
thrown into the midst of the foaming rapid
and were all drowned. None Of the bodies
had been recovered when our informant left.
But one of the four ever rose to the sur
face after being thrown into the current
He was seen clinging for a short time to a
log which had lodged in the river, when he
was again washed back among the rocks,
and sank to rise no more

MARRYING THE ATLANTIC AND MISSES

place of marrying the Atlantic to the Miss

bropoht for the occasion, and conveyed from

of the South and West we're mingled IN a
bright harmonious stream in the presence
of the happy thousands, the tnmultuous sea
of humanity that ebbed and flowed around.
The Atlantic and Mississippi were then pro-
nounced man and wife, and all the people

track of the iron horse, with its breath of

KILLED BY GRIzzLY.-We are informed
says the Shasta Republican, that on Friday
last Mr.. Sylvester Langdon was killed by a
grizzly bear about two and a half miles east
from the ranch of Mr.. Ogburn on the road
to Honey Lake Valley, about forty miles
from this place Mr.. Langdon must have
been killed, from the appearance of the
body, at least twenty -four hours before he
was discovered by his neighbors. He had
gone out in search of COW and from the
appearance of the tracks of himself and
the bear, it would seem that he came near
upon the bear and fred his gun and had then
run some fifty yards, where he stopped to
re load 1t seemed that lie had then eau
tiously approached the place where the bear
had laid down-no doubt surprising that he
had wounded it mortally Fatal mistake
The bear, with characteristic rapidity OF
motion, attacked him suddenly ,and with one
stroke of his paw tore away his face and all
of his upper jaw, laying bare the vessels of
his neck One of his arms had been crushed
by a bite of the grizzly. He must have
been instantly killed. Mr.. L. was much
respected by his acquaintance, and leaves
wife to mourn his loss.

INTER EsTING FACTS. The following geo.
logical description of highly interesting
portion of California is from the Siskiyou
Chronicle:
THE exploration of the country about
the sources of the Klamath River last sum
mer and fall, has proven that that river and
the Sacramento take their rise in the same
grand plateau This great plain, having
an altitude Of between four and five thou
sand feet extends far north into Oregon
Territory, and embraces twelve lakes, some
of which are of great magnitude These
lakes are divided into two series. having
each its chain of connections one of them
(aff,rding much the largest portion of water)
pours its united waters into the Klamath
through little Klamath lake; the other
sheds it's waters through the snbteranean
channel of lost river into Pitt River and
thence into the Sacramento. The country
Immediately around these lakes, and along
the streams which flow into them and con-
meet with them, is a vast meadow of grass
and tules. The higher lands are extensive
alkali plains, broken by hills which have no
connected range, and are covered with a
scattered growth of pine and Spruce.

DANGER OF WEARING Tat The Sac
ramepto Union relates singular escape,
of Cinnamon, from being killed in ma
chine shop. He was carrying some parcels
through the sewing establishment of d
Hesse, on j. street between 18th and 9Th
streets The machines four in number, are
propelled by small steam engine, the
connecting shaft running the whole length
of the building. Carelessly backing too
near his tail was caught in the shaft and
was dragged to the floor. The head be-
coming jammed between the floor and the
shaft, and the engine unequal to the resis-
lance, the machinery stopped. The cause
was soon asertained, and the machinery
was at once reversed and the Chinaman
was enabled to regain his feet. He then
wound up the tail, put it in his hat and
yamoused.

While bathing in the water of the Bay,
near Meigg's waharf, San Francisco, man
discovered a sponge tree. There are says
the Herald:
about dozeu pieces of sponge, aver
aging about six inches in diameter each
growing from a single stem, which very
much resembles cabbage stalk. The stock
is about foot and half high, and perfect
Ely straight, with the spongy substance
formed in thick clusters around it. This
TACT would seem to set at rest the doubt
which has long prevailed among scientific
men, as to whether sponge was an animal
or vegetable production. The root, stem,
and general formation of this specimen,
has every appearance of the latter species,
among which 1t might we'll be chased"
Very likely they are of vegetable, but
we have very distinct recollection of dis
covering sundry "sponges" in and around
the Saloons of Montgomery street, that
were most decidedly of the animal nature,
and ready at all times to MAKE beasts of
themselves by absorbing all the liquids
within their reach, at the expense of cup
country gentlemen" Webster describes a
sponge as ''porous, marine substance,
found adhering to rocks, shells &C., under
water, and on rocks about the shore at low
water. 1t readily Imbibessiquids etc" Now
that's one kind of sponge. The one we
mean is similar to the other, excepting q:
regards the ''water" part of it. The Mont
geometry street ''sponge' is pour us sub
stance, and is found adhering to "bars,
oyster stands Sc, under the influence Of
whiskey, and on benches and curbstones in
the neighborhood of grog shops. 1t "read.
lily imbibes liquids" lik its marine namesake,
but by no amount of squeezing can be CON-
PEELED to .'come out" when its turn comes
The kind we allude to, is most useles ar
ticle and very common in San Francisco

The ConxeufIo,,.

We congratulate the Democracy of Butte
upon the termination of the labors of their
County Convention, and upon the sound,
popular and irresistible ticket presented for
the ratification of the people at the polls in
September. The Democracy of Butte, have
a ticket that 20 combination of their political
enemies can defeat. No moagrei concern
composed of the discarded of all partes-of
decayed politicians and men intensely sell
fish and thoroughly unprincipled-that may
be presented in opposition to it, can over
throw or injure. The Democracy have pre-
scented names of men who are old residents
of the county, permanently interested in its
welfare and prosperity, and against whose
stern and uncompromising adherence to the
principles of the party nothing can be justly
urged. We will not attempt, at the present
time. to speak of the nominees sepa-
rately; their names will be recognized at
the head Ct our paper, as among the high
minded, honorable and intelligent business
men of the county, every way qualified to
discharge the duties of the respective posi-
tons to which they have been nominated -
Although many of the nominations were
closely contested, every nomination was
fairly and honorably made, and every dem
ocrat of the county, and of the Senatorial
and Judicial Districts, may lend them his
hearty support with the consciousness that
he is supporting the free and untrammeed
choice of his party, and that he is contribu-
ting to the Advancement of Democratic
principles Under such circumstances, there
can be no reasonable fear but that ''the
ticket, the whole ticket, and nothing but the
ticket" will be elected by an overwhelming
majority.
The convention was the largest and most
numerously attended of any that ever as
sembled in the county, there beng one hun
bred and thirtyeight delegates in attendance
We have no desire to bestow fulsome praise
upon any deiberative body, but we think it
may be justly claimed that no county in the
State, can boast of be tier convention-no
defeated candidates can boast of firmer
friends. We claim for the Democratic
County Convention of Butte, that it pos
sessed in an eminent degree, those attri-
butes that render it the star convention Of
the State. Every member did what he
believed to be his duty to those whom he
represented, openly, firmly, and with the
hope of success. The will of the majority
was fairly and honorably expressed upon
every issue, and however much regret dis
/ appointed Democrats may feel, they will re-
member that the strength of the party lies
in permitting the majority, fairly expressed.
/ to rule and accord to the ticket q support
that will be irresistible.
