BALL At CesGRovEs.-Last week we omitted
to make mention of the ball which took place
at the residence of Mr.. Harry Cosgrove, half
way between the Spring Valley House and
Campo Seco. The party was one of the most
pleasant and agreeable we have yet attended
in this county. Although the night was dark
and rainy, large and select company were
in attendance. The supper was bountifully
provided -reaecting much credit On the liber-
ality of the host and hostess, and the fair lady
who SO gracefully presided-the admired OF
all admirers. Mr.. Geo. Watts Cotillion Band.
of Mokclumne Hill furnished the music, which
was simply, excellent. At the "dawning OF
the day the joyous dancers took their last
hop" and hastily bid farewell, with a sigh
TINT time was SO feeting as to cause reluc-
tant separation of the goodlie companie.'

SUBSTANCE OF THE LAW OF EsTRAYs-Any
person desiring to take up an estray, shall, at
any time after the expiration of 20 days after
finding the same, go before some Justice ofthe
Peace of his township and make oath that he
has made diligent inquiry throughout his
neighborhood to ascertain the ownership of
the same, and that he has also published ten
days previously, a written notice in one or
more of the most public places in his town
ship, setting forth all the information in his
possession concerning said animals-[this is
done by publication in a newspaper two weeks
including marks, brands, &C., and that the
owner is unknown to him.
The animals shall then be appraised by ap-
praisers appointed by the Justice. The ap-
praisers shall then report the value of the
animals to the Justice.
A record Of the above proceeding is then en-
tered in an Estray Book, kept by every JUS
tice in California, which Estray Book is always
open to the examination of the public without
charge.

to the estray by proof before the Justice, he
shall receive possession by paying all costs
and to the taker-up all costs that the Justice
may award him; but the taker up shall moi
receive any costs for keeping an estray if he
has worked, ridden or used it while in his
possession.
An estray cannot be sold until the expira-
tion of one year from posting. The taker-uI
is not liable if the animal die within the year
after posting.
One-half the appraised value of the estray
must be paid by the party who has taken up
the same, into the County Treasury at the ex-
piration of year after posting. If not so
paid, he is liable in civil action for the same

NOVEL SUBJECT FOR CoRoNER's ISQUEsr.-
friend, writing to the Independent, from An
gels, a few days since, says that one of the
Justices of the Peace for that township, was
notified by some miners that they had discov-
cred q dead body in a neighboring prospect
hole," and deemed the same fit subject for
" Crowner's Quest" Armed with blank re-
nire, copy of the Statutes of California, and
an old cheese-knife as disseeting implement,
the en-o0icio Coroner, followed by a large crowd
of serious faces, proceeded towards the local-
ty of the unfortunate deceased. He was led
through the rough labyrinths of an old mining
camp, over stock and stone-through mud and
mirc-his company and his dignity enlarging
as he went. At length the party brought up
at the fatal hole. The first thing discovered
was seedy old stove-pipe hat, which brought
IA sigh from the tender hearted Justice, for it
suggested the close proximity of = one more
unfortunate" A handful of coarse wool was
found near the mouth of the shaft, whereupon
a heathenish Chinaman cried out, "me tinke
nigi" A rope was procured, and the China
man was let down to make it fast to the corpse
The word was given, and all hands hauled
away. At this juncture, one of the party who
had originally discovered the body, and whose
face looked as solemn as an Aztec temple,
whispered in the ear of the Justice, that q he
thought deceased, one old Billy G., and if SO,
he wore heavy beard and goatee; and with
this remark, he started off after a coffin, and
refreshments for the Jury. Up came the body.
The man of law was first to recognize it.
sold Billy c. be d-m,n calculated his
honor. {" Sold soldl! sold!!! Hold an in
quest over old he goat! Why, the joke is
an outrage upon the dignity of the Court, and
| shall fine the cussed scamps for contempt"
About this time, the crowd opened like q
pack of hungry blood-hounds on hot trail
and the waggish rascal who had started after
=" coffin and refreshments hearing the yell,
and knowing thereby, that the trick had cul-
minated, made tracks nineteen feet and two
inches apart. The Jury didn't stop to make
out verdict, and, it being politely hinted that
the ancient custom of the manor was good
one, his honor produced refreshments at his
own expense.
