Observation-Disclosures is what may be po
litely termed a swindler He has been
keeping an Intelligence Office in this city
business respectable enough when prop
erly conducted, but, as conducted 10y Kuckos-
ke, about as rascally trade as can well be
engaged in, Kuckoske sent up the other
day, two men to get employment at two
places twenty miles off in the country, each
one to stop at the place respectively appoin-
ted them, which places he represented to be
only a short distance apart 1t proved that
they were at least 80 miles apart, and that
nobody was wanted at one of them and pro-
bably none at the other On the return of
the humbugged individuals to this city, they
met two more innocents on the same ar
rant" and all four came back in rage that
may be imagined but not described. They
wore resolved to take satisfaction out OF
Kuckoskes hide, but finally concluded to re-
sort to the peaceful arbitrament of the law.
Accordingly they complained of him before
the Recorder, and he was held to answer be-
fore the Court of Sessions. Obtaining mo.
ney under false pretenses is a very hard mat
ter to prove in a court of justice and the
probability is that Kuckoske will be dis
charged Bat that will not hinder him from
being fully entitled to be regarded with sus-
picion. We are informed by the police, that
repeated complaints have been made against
him, 10y servant girls, and others seeking EN-
ployment, that he lies to them about situa-
uons, and, after getting his fee, sends them
on wild goose chases after employment He
Is in the habit, also, it is said of finding
places for girls, and afterwards inducing
them, or trying to induce them. to leave and
90 somewhere else, so that he may get fee
from a new employer, and so make money
hand-over-fst, by the same girl We have
been requested to expose the operations of

persons may be forewarned Of his character.

YUBA COUNTY LAND CAsE-We find the
following notice of late decision Of the Su-
preme Court, in the Sacramento Union of
yesterday: Rose VS. A. and j. Davis, was
case of eiectment to recover land in Yuba
county, claimed by virtue of title derived
from the grant of one Sutter and his possess
ion under it. There was a trial by jury on
complaint and answer, putting in issue title
and possession. There was also dispute as
TO whether the locus in quo was within the
boundaries of the Sutter grant, and of the
land conveyed to plaintiff, which was part of
the Sutter grant. In relation to two surveys
-one by Higgins, of private character, and
the other by Won Schmidt, Deputy United
States Surveyor-whch were objected to,
the Court ruled that Higgins survey and
map might go in evidence as a diagram, and
the said Won Schmidts map and survey be
admitted as evidence The court, at the in
stance of the plaintiff, gave several instrue-
tions, numbered from one to five in the re
cord, which the court here deem to be cor
rect The fourth instruction asked by de
fendant, as folows-"A demarcation or pri-
vate survey made by direction of party in
terested under the grant is inadmssible evil
dence, because it would enable the grantee
to fix vagrant by his own act"-was i'm
properly refused.

The SHOOTING AFFATR-We e mentioned yes
terday, says the Sacramento Union of We'd
nesdly, that a man named De Wolf had been
arrested on a charge of assault to kill-shoot-
ing at private policeman Frank Hnrdy The
case was examined before Justice Foote on
Tuesday, and probably more conflicting evi-
dence was never elected out of any one case
outside of Chinadom 1t was shown by the
defense that there was but one shot fired.
and that by the officer On the other hand,
the testim ny for the prosecution was to the
effect that the shot was fired by the defend
ant. Officer Gray. who arrested the defend
ant, testified that he examined the pistol of
officer Hardy "a five shooter,) and found only
four charges therein, officer Hardy having
testified that the pistol was fully Charged
We understand that the shot (there was but
one fred passed through the window of the
premises occupied by the defendant, and
lodged in the partition within. Tn view of
the contradictory evidence elected, the de-
fendant was held to anwer, and admitted to
bail in the sum of $780,

A CHILD OF SoNG. 1T having been asked
"W Who is George Washington Raeuhart ?" the
object of that solicitude answers, in the Trim.
ity journal, in the following (dead) strain:
host wish to know to whom do belong?
But list; I'll tell thee; I'm a child of song;
warble with the birds my feeling Laws,
And for this boon give to God my praise.
love the birds, the little singing BIRDS
love their words, their own meludi0us words
Pour'd forth in many sweet, and pleasing
strain,
In valley, on the mountain, and the plain.
love 10 listen to the song of birds,
And hear the melody of measurd words:
The songster pours upon the willing ear
While thrills the soul the j,vous strain to hear
o. welcome little warbler of the wood;
Thou art my cherished friend in solitude;
And when rove the lowland fields among.
| think Of thee and pour my soul in song
Most gladly with the birds I'll spend my days,
Nor covet more, but with them end my lays.
The poet expresses his determination TO
'spend his days" in the woods with the birds,
and with them end his lays" We have no
disposition to egg him on in his laying business,
but what are the San Francisco journals to
do for an agent in the mountains, if Raen
hart quits them, and takes up lis abode
among the birds ?

REDIyWUs.-A day or two ago, party Of
miners, on mule and horseback, passed
through this city, on their way to Fraser river
Yes, strange as it may seem, bound to Fraser
river! We We're little astonished at
movement of such nature, in the absence of
all excitement on the subject, and, in fact, in
face of the general impression that Fraser
r.ver was an unmitigated and stupendous
humbug. Upon enquiry, however, we find
that mining operations are very quietly going
on in that quarter of the world, and good
many persons doing very well in the dig
gings. A brother of one of our Marysyine
bankers we understand, is at Victoria. enga
ged in merchandising. and reports that
plenty of gold dust is in circulation. The
mines, he thinks, are not as rich as in the 40
times in California, but gold is found quite
abundant in certain localities He is doing
very well, himself, in his business, and de-
clares that such could not be the case, were
the diggings as poor as they hUve been repre-
sented. We advise no one to 60 to Fraser
river, but presume it must be true that the
dlggings on the rieer hat neyer falls are of
some account, after all
