dred thousand persons in the city OF Me-"
York will be out of employment and
nearly out of means. The ship yards in
New York are nearly idle, the lonndrles

from places three hundred miles away in
quest of work from the clothing stores,

Tevn Trustees.

Tho new Board of Trustees were
sworn in on Wednesday, the 18th inst,
and organized by electing Gen. Cazneau
President, and Sam'l H. Jones, Town
Clerk. The Assessor, Marshal and Treas
urer were also qualified, and the amount
of their bonds determined. We are glad
to find that the gentlemen elect have al
ready commenced their labors, for We
observe that several places that have long
been ip q very bad condition, have been
filed up and rendered passable. The
new Marshal has been mastering his for.
ces on Jackson street, and the deep wa
ters there have disappeared. We are
told that the County Surveyor has been
engaged to prepare map of the town.
This has long been needed, and is most
impoitan and desirable movement
Much good is anticipated from the labors
Of the new Trustees. and we shall with
great pleasure notice their proceedings.
The above was written for the last is
sue, but crowded out by the press of
other matter.

me- senera cxpedltlen.

The news that we published last week
in relation to the fate of Crabb's party,
has been confirmed by private letters
from Sonora. Mr.. Dunbar, at whose
house tho four wounded men were left,
has written to gentleman in San Fran
cisco. He says that an Irishman who
was travelling under a passport from the
British Consul at Guaymas was an eye
witness Of most that took place. and in
formed him (Mr. Dunbar) of tho facts.
They are the same in substance as those
contained in our last issue. He also says
that Mr.. Crabb met his death with firm
ness-no weakness--not muscle of his
face changing-but shade of grim stern
ness rested upon his features, as they ap-
peared in the Office of the official after d.
capitation. All his comrades faced death
quietly and with the utmost frmness.
The number of Mexican troops engag-
ed was about Eve hundred. About the
close of the struggle four hundred more
arrived from the lower country. Mr..
Crabb entered Cavorea with ninety-two
men. Mr.. Dunbar closes his letter as
follows -" The result Of this unfortunate
affair is. that out in this corner of Uncle
Sans big farm, the protecting charm of
the beliefin the invincibility Of Americans
is broken. We cannot now travel singly,
aud in small parties. along the frontier,
with comparative impunity as heretofore.
1t is to be feared that, for some time to
come, Americans will be subject to in
suit. robbery and assassination. Even
the Indians, wild and tame, begin to think
the Americans are "no great shakes" if
the Mexicans, of whom they have a poor
opinion, can whip them so completely"

THrEvEs.-On last Monday night the
house of MIR. Sawyer IA furniture dealer
in this town. was entered by burglars
and valuable gold watch, and pair of
blankets were stolen. The manner of
entrance &c. proves them to have been
old hands at the business. They entered
the rear part of his shop and passing
within few feet of where two men were
sleeping went into Mr.. Sawyer's bedroom
and took his watch from his vest pocket.
The vest was hanging on the board
of the bed and Mr.. S. was in the bed
asleep. Fortunately for the owner, they
did not search his pants, the pockets Of
which contained $3.50 in gold coin. The
appearance of the doors &c. shows con-
clusively that they had boring instruments
and other burglarious tools.
On Tuesday some person stole pistol
from the case Of Messrs. Meiss & Lipman
while they were engaged in another part
of the store.
Several other thefts have been COM
mitted in the town during the past week,
and people should be on their guard.
Have your doors well secured and be pre-
pared for tho thieves, and they will soon
leave the town.

COLUMBIA, CALIFORNIA:

0AVCdOAK MOkNNANOS 4A SoIus 1901
In small community like ours, one
would naturally expect to see social fee
ling exist, and the restraint that person
acquires among strangers, partially laid
aside. It is a noticeable fact that in all
country towns, there are several distinct
classes Of people who hold no intercourse
with others than those ia their own circle,
and who consider themselves the society
par excellence of the place. Each organ
ization thinks itself the most worthy, and
afend is constantly kept up between the
different cliques, and matters are carried
TO such an extent, that all parties blessed
with the gift Of speech are brought into
the arena, and warfare Of VOL ds, result
ing in wounded feelings and blasted rep
atations is made the chief employment OF
both sexes. In California especially,
where people meet from all sections of
the world: where the very pursuit that
most are forced to adopt, becomes lev
eler; and where the population Of the
towns is necessarily small, and of a mi
gratory character, these obnoxious prin-
eiples exist. In small town where the
whole number of inhabitants, if congre-
gated together, would be mere handful.
we see four or Ave different sets, and no
approaches to familiarity between them.
Wers intellect, or even the natural for
nation, the rule which guided the CLASH
fcation, it would be different; but as 1t
is, the qualification for entrance into the
limits of sett, consists in the amount OF
brazen inpudence, slandering propensi-
ties, insinuating hypocl acy, or mental i'm
becility. No object, no matter of how
much interest to the people at large, if
supported by ono class, will be counte-
ynanced by another. Indeed, this particu-
lar feeling is carried so far that the mem
ber of one church will not step inside the
door of one of another denomination. and
Mrs. 2. is not supposed to know Mrs. x.
because they go to different places of
worship. Whether these infatuated be-
ipgs suppose that different Powers, hear
their different prayers, or different Be-
ings control their several destinies, we
know not but we do know that their
actions would imply the supposition.-
Nor is this all. Children are taught in
their infancy,-when every lesson should
be oflove-to look upon others with the
same stamp of the Almighty, and the
same human feelings, with contempt, and
to treat them with contume!y. 1t is In
stilled into the young mind by degrees.
and the child when matured is ready to
step into the beaten track, and support the
position Of its progenitors. In town
like ours general feeling of friendship
should prevail, and all these foolish prin-
ciples be done away. Merit should be
the key to good society, and SANDER and
its attributes should be discarded. Men
and women should meet on the broad plat
form of Truth, and Virtue should be re-
warded by the approving smiles of all.
