day last, says the Columbia Courier of the 9th, a
dnel came off at jamestown, about II o'clock, be
tween two men, named Anderson and L eonard. 1t

ted, and the parties put in shooting order. At the
first round, Leonard's pistol hung fire, They were
again stationed, and the word being given,
Leonard's pistol served him the same before
Leonard then threw the pistol at his opponent, but
missed him and struck his second on the leg. Roth
parties then drew their knives and rushed in bus
were prevented from doing each other damage b1
the interference of ectatOrs. 1t appears the ps
tolls loaded with blank cartridges by the seconds
although the principals were not aware of the fact
until it was all over. When they discovered the
trick, they became much enraged, and manifested a
more killing disposition, ii possible than before
The fair, however was afterwards arranged to the
satisfaction of all parties.

Rain Needed.

The successful working of the river claims de-
mands longer season of diy weather; the health
of the country seems to require rain. Health is of
vastly more consequence than the accumulation of
gold, and we pray for rain even at the expense of
the river miners. No season, in the memory of the
old est inhabitant has been sicky the present
The air seems laden with malaria, by which more
than one-half the entire community is prostrated
with chs fevers and bilious disorders. 1t is rea-
sonable to suppose that the air needs the disnfect-
ing effects of rains and fosts to render it healthful
once more. Accounts from other sections of the
State show that this region is not the only gen.
orally infected. Similar complaints to those ex-
perienced here prevail along the Yuba and in ma
ny of the mining and agricultural districts of the
foothills. The earnest prayer of prostrated peo-
pie is for rain and the first patterings of drench-
ing Storm will be joyfully hailed as the harbinger
of health, and decline in the quinine market.
