FArAL SHOOTING APFRAy-A diff

Fatal SHOOTING AFFRAY.-A diff
Guilty arose between one Reese and D.
Lemon, at Hunts Hill, on Saturday af-
ternoon last. Lemon had some chick
ems with which he got up Christmas
shooting match. Reese, somewhat in-
toxicated, said he could beat Lemon
shooting. The latter said Reese could
not, to which Reese replied in an offen-
sive manner. and drawing a revolver,
fired at Lemon, who luckily bent forward
at the moment the trigger was pulled.
The ball passed over Lemons head and
took effect in the right breast of a by
stander named Daniel Snyder. Tho
ball came out near the left arm. Sny-
der fell and said he was shot. He was
borne into saloon hard by where he
expired in few moments.
Snyder was from Mercer county, Penn
sylvania, and about 25 yeais of age.
Reese was an acting constable and a
sporting character. The same day he
shot at another man between Hunts
Hill and Walloupa. Immediately after
the death of Snyder Reese became MISS
ing and is still at large.
The above particulars We obtained
from Mr.. d. Lemon, one Of the parties
to the affair.
On hearing of the aff,ay Sheriff Bor-
ing' in accordance with his invariable
custom in such cases, at his own expense
sent deputy to the scene Of the trage-
dy to arrest, if possible, the offender, but
without success.

THE DYING YEAR.-As we write the
old year is sinking, sinking into the
yawning gulf of the past. A few more
moments and all that is left of the year
1858 will have passed the boundary be-
tween now and eternity. Another cy-
Gle Of time is soon to be added to fhe
countless thousands that have gone be-
fore leaving nothing behind but a short
and perishable record. The year Of
which We are soon to take last fare
well, has not been unmarke ed to many of
US by joyful as well as sorrowful memo
ries. Its recollections fling many lights
and shadows DER the heart, not to be
written legible to others, though craven
deeply on the souls hidden tablet.
Of the great events which 60 to mark
eras in the worlds history the year
about to depart has had its share. A
blazing comet has flashed along the sky
telling us of order in the systems of
worlds beyond our own. The old world
and the new have been united by cleo
trio cords never to be dissolved till time
shall be no more Our own continent
has been traversed by mail stage lines,
and Benton has joined the proud throng
Of American Statesmen beyond the
tomb. These events, if nothing more,
will preserve the dying year among the
records of its predecessors.
In good resolutions it has not been
wanting, but broken, too many of them,
we fear, have been. Such is the expe-
rience of all time. "Man resolves and
re-resolves and yet remains the same
He finds spirit within him warning
against his good intentions. At the open
ing of the new year upon which we arc
about to enter may good resolutions
again abound as on similar occasions
have been their wont, and may the year
1859 at its close present more satisfac-
tory retrospect than the stand point of tt e
present affords us of the past Since
perfection cannot be obtained this is the
only boon We can hope for, and SO mote
it be.

our trade would go-that once that trade

HEAVY RoBBERY.-The store and
safe of Oppenheim & Mendleson. at
Orleans Flat were opened on the night
of the 9th inst. and about six thousand
dollars in coin and dust taken. The
proprietors of the store went cut about
half past eleven o'clock in the evening
to partake of an oyster stew, and while
absent the robbery was committed. A
wooden key was found near the safe
broken, with which it is supposed the
safe was both unlocked and locked
again-(the safe was found locked on
the return of the proprietors.) One bag
of dust remained in the safe overlook ed
by the robbers. The dust taken was
Middle Yuba dust with IL OF. of black,

Congressional and County Convention.

Congressional and County Conventions
We publish to-day the call for the Con-
vention of the democracy of the third con-
gressional district to nominate a candidate
for Congress, as also the call for conven-
ton of the democracy of this county to nomi-
nate candidates for county officers, and to
appoint delegates TO the congressional and
representative conventions. The congress
sional committee have been urged for some
time to get out this call, but We are assured
whatever delay ia the matter has taken place
was unavoidable. The convention is fixed
at sufficiently early date to admit of a
thorou IN canvass of the district before the
election, and if it is worth while to make a
nomination, nothing short OF vigorous cam
vass afterwards 5 ould be thought Of. We
repeat, what we ave said heretofore, that
there are elements enough in this district to
defeat Lovcjoy if they can be properly com
bined, and it is surely worth an effort to ei-
feet such combination.
In this county. victory is still more GER
ta.n'y within our reach We came within a
hundred votes Of wiping out repub licanisn
here last fall, and with the deepened inter,
est OF the contest, and closer union Of our
ranks, surely complete triumph should be
/ certain this fall.

CHICAGO HERALp--We are in receipt of
the Chicago daily Herald, the new admin
istration paper which was commenced in
that city on the demise of the National In
ION. The Herald is edited by c. n. PINE,
Esq. late ef the Bureau County Democrat.
In zeal, energy, and stamina, we have no
doubt the Herald, from what we know Of
it's editor, will be good improvement on
the Union, which at best was but drivel-
ling. shifting. wishy-wsshy concern. Mr..
Pine is vigorous writer, and man OF
great industry and energy-so much so in
deed, that if he keeps up the Herald as he
has commenced. it viii not take over six
months to break down his constitution, for
nothing short Of cast iron can stand SUCH
wear and tear. While We hope, however,
this may be averted, and that Mr.. Pine, who
gets up really interesting and valuable ps.
per, may be abundantly compensated for
all h' labors, we are wholly unable to ap'
prec late the logic by which he justifies the
cour Sc politically which he has marked out
for the Herald.

Our friend Cramer, editor of the Mendoza
Democrat, Zone of the most earnest and effi-
Gent democratic organs in Northern Illinois,
although GERMANY treats the assumption OF
Meginnis, Of the Peru Sentinel, about being
the only democratic paper in the county. as
such ridiculous self-laudaiion deserves
Says the Democrat:
"Meginnis. of the Peru Sentinel, is a re-
markably great man! He calls his paper
the only one in the county that supports
Douglas and the regular democratic noIn-
nees. Were it true, it would be hopeless
case for Douglas, for tho Colonel, during his
short residence in the county, has already
made himself so widely known as an inordi-
nately bombastic phrasemonger, that no
scribblng of his could ever affect vote one
way or the other The Colonel is charac-
terized not only by unparalleled impu-
dence,' As the Trader has it, but is brain
scorcbed throughout. The TRADES of the
Sentinel give the La Sale County Democrat
no uneasiness, for the editor knows his
man."
