The WEATHER.-Below is a tabular state
ment of the thermometrical readings for the
last fortnight, taken down three times day,
to wit: At A. NJ, IL NJ, and 5P. NJ. During
the first week, the thermometer was suspended
IN back room of this office, out of the influ-
ence of artificial heat, but not exposed to the
open air. The last week it was hung up in
the open air, which accounts for the apparent
difference in the readings OF the two weeks.
For the past twelve days, dense fog has pre-
vailed, with short intervals of sunshine; and
on the opening of the present week, the vapor
CONCEALED in icicles on the trees and shrub
berry, remaining in that state for full thirty
hours. All this time the mercury never rose
above freezing point, in the position we had
placed it. On Wednesday morning, the at
mosphcre softened down little, until towards
noon, when all the winter glories of the forest
disappeared The spell of weather here re-
corded, we are we'll satisfied, has been colder,
and longer continued, than inexperienced in

ASSASSINATION AMONG THE CHINESE. - On
last Sunday night, about o'clock, China
man named Tchon Heen was stabbed to the
heart by one named All Kong. The deed was
prepetrated in gambling hell on China street,
San Andreas, under the following circumstan-
ces: All Kong, who is a sort of vegetable mer-
chant, and lived near the Kentucky House, a
mile or two from this place, was betting at
one of the gambling tables He had just laid
down quarter of dollar, which won, but
when he looked for his money it was missing
Suspecting Tehon Heen of the theft, he turned
to him and demanded the quarter; but was
told that it was not taken by the accused
Some of the by-standers confirmed Ah Kong S
suspicious when he turned to the miserable
victim and told him if he did not give up the
money he would kill him. Tchon Heen re-
fused to fork over, and was in the act of max
ing off, when he drew his poignard and thrust
it into his heart the first stroke All Kong
then made off, but was obstructed by another
Chinaman, whom he also stabbed, cutting
through the muscular part of his arm and just
penetrating his side, so as to cause painful
but not dangerous wound. This cleared the
way and he escaped to the hills before the
alarm reached the officers. Immediately upon
hearing of the act, Constabes Murray and
Denig were ON the spot; but no enquiry elici-
tied from the Chinese any information that
could lead to his arrest All Cum, Quin San,
and others, were arrested as accessories after
the fact. One of these has since died He
was sick at the time of arrest, and either from
having taken bad cold or the excitement in
cident to his situation, rapidly grew worse
and died on Wednesday evening. The princi-
pal has not yet been found. The presumption
is, that should he be arrested, as no one but
Cinnamon witnessed the deed, he will be sworn
clear.

gone down about seventy feet, without as YET
striking upon the ledge. Their show is de-
cidedy good.
Next comes Waldron & Jordan. They also
are sinking a shaft and have got the blue
dirt, with fiattering prospects. There are some
four or FIVE claims still farther down. just be-
ing prospected.
Above Mr.. Burns, is White & Co. They
have sunk a shaft and struck good dirt, and
are now running a tunnel. Still above, is
Reardon l. Co. They also have struck it, and

other claim above theirs; and for more thar
mile the ground has been claimed, and the

order of the day. Yours, A MINER.

CALAvERAs LIME KILNs.-Mr. A. Young,
proprietor of the Calayeras Lime Kilns, is, at
the preseut time, devoting his energies to the
construction of fence around portion his
land, which-if the experiment proves success
ful-will be highly ornamental as we'll as Sc
a trench behind and the soil thrown up against
the back of it. In this earth along the back
of the wall Mr.. Young intends to plant acorns,
believing they will, eventually, grow into an
excellent hedge. There is no doubt but shrubs
which are indigenous to our dry hill-sides, will
succeed better in hedges than plants of foreign
importation. We believe that not only the ev-
er-green Oak of California, but many other ma
tive plants, would make far superior hedges te
either Buckthorn, Arbor- Vitae, Locust, Holly
or Yew, while they would be equally ornament
al Besides having strong, lasting hedges
around gardens, orchards and farms, a great
want might be supplied in ornamental grounds
by appropriating many of our native shrubs tc
making edgings along sides of walks. Box
Thrift Piuks and many other plants common.
iy used in other countries for edgings are, fol
such purposes in the mountain sections of this
country, comparatively valueless. The Ceon.
oth@s is very extensively used as hedge PLAN
in and around San Francisco, but we think i
probable that it never will become very popu-
lar as hedge plant in the mountains. The
evergreen Euonymus makes very fine orna.
mental hedge; but in point of both strength
and beauty, we are aware of nothing tha
would excel, for thorough, permanent fence
our native evergreen Oak.

1.-THE following communication is from the
new diggings lately struck, near Old Woman's
Gulch, on Calaveras Ridge. We recently
gave some account of them. From present
prospects they will doubtless turn out to be
both rich and extensive.

To commence with the claim owned by Mr.
T Rurns ]. Hancock and two others, with
whose names am not acquainted. This claim
is situated one hundred yards above Garland
ranch, running into the hill. The lucky
owners have six feet of pay-dirt, which aver
ages fifteen cents to the pan. The dirt IS OF
deep blue color, with many very large ooui-
ders mixed in it. Every favorable spot which
the diggings affords has been taken advantage
OF. The economical and advantageous method
Wnlcn these gentlemen nave adopted to work
tneir claim, could scarcely be improved upon
