UNPLEASANT MIsTAKE.-The Bellows Falls
Times says that when the State Survey party
passe through Winhall, part of them stopped
for the Sabbath at the tavern formerly kept
by the notorious Luther Moon, in Jail for
receiving stolen goods.) In the evening the
younger DR., Hitchcock started for East
Dorset, where he expected to meet his father
Pretty soon several men came in and after
eying DR.. Hager and his operations pretty
closely, wanted to know what that fellow
left for Dorset in such q hurry for, and
lodged around on the road so curiously -
The was examining the rocks undoubtedly
and all DR.. Hager' explanations would hardly
convince them that the party were not some
of Moons confederates, come for more plum
der. But finally. after looking over all the
queer tools DR.. Hager had, they became
satisfied that DR.. Hitchcock was not thief,
AMI went away.
The CALIFORNIA NEws.-We infer from
the latest intelligence that the Frazer
river excitement has cooled off somewhat.
though there is still reported large emigra-
ton, and fleet of 40 vessels had sailed for
that destination within the fortnight. The
small amount of S25 600 in gold, which had
come forward for the shipment, does not in
dictate a realization of the glowing accounts
Of the abundance Of gold.
There has been collision between the
MERGED mining company, in Nariposa county,
CAL, and some of Col. Fremonts men. The
mining company made an armed attack upon
Fremont's men, who were working lead
quartz ut Pine Tree Drift. Fremont's men
defended themselves, holding the place with
arms in their hands for several days. APP
plication was finally made to the governor,
who was preparing to call out the military,
when the assailants withdrew leaving FREE
mont in possession.
The democratic party Of California is
making great preparations for the September
election. There is desperate contention
going on for the possession of the nominating
convention between the administration men
and the Douglas democrats, under the lead
of senator Broderick.
Dates from Oregon are to the 10th. The

The Court at Burkesvillc, Ky, recently
gave verdict against the owner of IA distill-
cry, for the value of negro man, for having
sold the black jug of whiskey, on which
the slave became intoxicated, and was in con-
sequence drowned in attempting to swim on
horseback swollen creek. The accident
was proved to have occurred from the drunk
en- folly and mismanagement Of the slave.
There is law Of the State which makes tho
seller OF liquor to a slave liable to all the
consequences from the use of the liquor by the
negro. This verdict, it is thought, will have
an important influence in arr5sting the sale
of whisky to slaves,
What if a law were passed whcrebya rum
seller was obliged to respond for all the DANA
ges caused by his rum to free men?
