Johns" which attracted large crowd, who ap
pearcd much interested in the exhibition Of the
manly art" We are not certain that we have
got the names Of the pugilists right. but they
sounded much like All Chung, and All Pung. Al
the first round they both discharged a voley Of
oaths, accompanied by gestures such as only a
/ Cblnaman can make, until they were both so
much out ofbreath that they were obliged to take
rest. At the second round both came TO time
quite fresh, and after few passes, All Chung got
! in a left handler that knocked his antagonist into
China grocery damaging the nose and specta-
cles of the keeper of said grocery, and landing
! them both in a pan of hot boiled rice. Smartng
with the pain of the hot rice, and the blow. All
Pung pitched in and hit All Chung dig in his
rice basket that made him howl, when each seized
the other by the tail and put in their best licks
until other Celestial bodies leaving their orbits
came between the beligerants and conducted each
TO q different sphere

us Of persons so well known and universally cs-
teemed. They carry with them on their visit to
" La Belle France" the kindred wishes and high

Trinity County Canal from Stuart's Fork. This
survey has been made in the most correct and sci

Of the race to Oregon Gulch divide. The present
survey and location was made upon the previous

ENTERPRlsE-Lcss than three years ago Mr.
Grifiths, man Of feeble health but Of the most
indomitabe perseverance,, who had been robbed
Of everything he possessed on the Isthmus, sat
down under the shade Of pine tree In the out
skirts Of this town, his whole capital consisting Of
just tar0 dOHQrs in cash. A few days since We
visited him at a neat little cottage near the old
tree, which he has been building, and which is
now nearly flushed, the cost Of which when com
/ pletcd will exceed sixteen hundred dollars and
which he owns together with very valuable prop
erty in the town, all clear Of any incumLrance.
Here we sec the effect of industry enterprise and
economy. Go and see him and learn lesson,
ye ablc-bodied men who complain Of hard times,
and say you can find nothing to do.
DErAETrRE-On Thursday evening last the
friends Of J. B. Hamilton invited him 10 supper
intended as merited and just compliment to
that gentleman, previous to his departure. The
supper was given at the Shades" and was got
ten up by j. McTurk, Esq the proprietor OF the
house. The supper was prepared in excellent
STYLE and the whole affair passed off in the best
manner. The company remained until late
hour and while the sparkling wine was freely
/ flowing the tongue spoke the honest sentiment Of
the heart Mr.. Hamilton has been for years
resident Of this county, and although bis losses
have at various times been great. he has ever
maintained his position as a gentleman of honor
and integrity. After he shall have visited the
green field Of his native Scotia ana amply atoned'
TO those loved ones for his long absence we hope
to see him return and take up his residence in
our golden State.

of the 18th judicial District, and the Hon. r.
T. Miller, County Judge Of Trinity, accompanied
by j. G.. Howard, Esq, and Frank Ball, ESD left

that none of those gentlemen have ever been as
far north as Yreka before. We anticipate for
them a delightful time. and many extremely
pleasant associations. The people Of Siskiyou
have always stood high in their generous and
polite hospitality to strangers, and we are happy
10 say of the above gentlemen, that they are
worthy of being the recipients Of distinguished
