LAND SURvEYs.-We are informed that Mr..
Vaudeville, Surveyor General, has closed a con-
tract with Col. Magee, of this place, to extend
the government surveys over unsurveyed lands
in this county, on the east side of the Sacrament
to river, including Churn Creek, Saltwater,
Little Cow Creek and Oak Run-and also in two
townships in Tefama county, south of Cotton
wood Creek ard west of Hontoons.
We understand the amount of funds at the
disposal of Mr. Vaudeville, for making surveys,
is very inconsiderable at present Hence his
action in this matter is the more praiseworthy.
Persons living on the lands within the sections
mentioned will more especially be able to ap-
preciate his Findness, as it will enable them to
secure complete titles to their lands several
years earlier than would be possible otherwise.
Col. Magee will commence his work at an
early day.
INsASE.-Thomas Abrams has been pronouu-
ced insane by board of examining physicians,
and ordered sent to the State Insane Asylum
The Sheriff has also been ordered to arrest a
Mr.. Thompson, supposed to be insane, and bring
him to town for examination.
P. S. Mr.. T. has been examined and pro-
nounced insane.
FIRE.-An alarm of fire startled the town on
Thursday night When first discovered it was
blazing up through the roof of the house for

extinguished, before occasioning any serious
damage. But for its timely discovery all the
residences in the immediate neighborhood must
have been destroyed.
A DuEL.-It is said that duel between the
editor of the Stockton Republican and high
State functonary, is likely to grow out of the
Brooks affair. 1t is understood that a certain
distinguished Judge, who was elected as a
Know Nothing, but is now claiming to be one
of the Chiefs of the Democracy. was very severe
upon the editor for his opposition to the appoint
ment of Mr. Brooks as Controller, and was in
consequence challenged by the editor
RoBBERIEs.-Quite large number of robberies
have been committed in various portions of the

in was robbed of about SlOO in dust, specimens
worth SIS, and some valuable jewelry.
BUTTE REcoRD.-This admirably conducted

beautiffed. 1t is now one of the handsomest
papers in the state-it long has been one of the
ablest.
New ExPREss.-We direct the attention of the
public to the notice of Mr.. W. c. Brown, who
has established an Express, to run weekly be-
tween this place and Watson's Gulch ria Horse
town, Cottonwood and Roaring River
WITHDRAwN.-Gov. Weller has withdrawn the
nomination of s. H. Brooks to the Controller
ship. He was misinformed as to that gentle
mans political antecedents.
