STxBBNG AFFRAY.-A rencontre occurred on
Thursday last at Penn Valley, between John
Montgomery and man named Hughes, which
resulted in the latter getting stabbed by sword
cane The difficulty grew out of an application
which had been made to the County Supervisors
to renew license for the toll road below Rough
& Ready Montgomery had started for Nevada
that morning, and when opposite Hughes house
the latter called him up, and placed letter in
his hand, signed by himself, making some seri-
Gus charges against Montgomery. After read
ing the letter, Montgomery pronounced the
statements false. Some more words ensued
when Hughes told the other, to get off from bis
horse aud be would whip him Montgomery
Immediately alighted and Hughes pitched in
and commenced striking with hoe. Montgem'
cry raised his sword cane to strike back, when
Hughes caught it, and unshcathed the blade
Montgomery then run it into Hughes body, in
flicting dangerous wound in the breast. He
then started of, dropping his pistol as he turn
ed, which Hughes picked up and fired at him
but without effect. Montgomery went to Rough
q Ready and gave himself up, but it being the
impression that he acted only in selfdefense, nc
complaint was made against him, and he was
allowed to go at large. He is still ready to sur
render himself, however, provided any com
plant is made. Hughes is now thought to be
out Of danger.

men left Bear Valley on Monday morning for
the East, by the overland route. They are we'll
provided with pack animals, provisions, &c,

20 JOIN MEYERs.-Ths man. who has been in
Jail about two months, charged with attempting
to fire the town, has, since his incarceration,
professed to be a raving maniac. 1t is the gen.
eral impression that his insanity is only assum-
ed. On being brought into court, on Monday,
to witness the empaneling of the grand jury,
he made SO much disturbance that it became
necessary to fasten the court room door to keep
out the crowd hat rushed to the place to see
what was going on. He was tolerably quiet
while in the court room, and talked only in
whisper. But as soon as the officers attempted
to remove him, he commenced kicking and
screaming, and had to be lifted up and carried
below. For the past two months he has kept
up during the day time, the most unearthly
yells imaginable, to the great annoyance of the
courts, and every one whose business required
his attendance at the court house, His case
will be disposed of either this week or next.
