cvr1FuI SuRGERY-Mr Nathan Van Ness had
-. loo broken by bank cave about the lst of
,.,;, from the effects of which he has nearly
-aoovpred. At the time of the accident the bone
,o,ov the knee was broken in two places, and in
.o1oosing him his companions drove pick in the
ankle. The injuries were of a most serious ma
tnrp. the bone in one place protruding through
tba flesh. Dr.J. S. Harris was the attending sur
yoon. to whose incessant care and skill Mr.. Van
Ness believes he is indebted for the saving OF the
limb. which is now nearly sound. He wishes us
n make this mention on account of the kindness
and care he received from DR.. Harris during his
suffering, and for the generosity shown by him in
receiving but trivial recOmpense for the service
rendered.
CHINAMAY CUT.-A fuss occurred in China
rambling house on Main street. Monday after
noon. and Chinaman belonging to one of the
trading-houses at the foot of the hill was slightly
cut in the eg-unfortunately not enough to bleed
him we'll. His friends allowed him to lay on the
sidewalk most of the afternoon, not wishing to
take the chances of an examination, for fear OF
the consequences He was taken to the county
hospital in the evening, but rejected on the
ground of not being in destitute circumstances.
COMPLETED HIS TAsK.-Mr. Grifits completed
his task of walking one hundred successive hours
at o'clock last Monday. The old man looked
as fresh and cheerful when he left the plank as
when he commenced walking. He has been about
town daily, since. The feat is probably the most
remarkable of the kind ever performed, and one
which we believe not another person in Trinity
could perform. He tells US that he feels better
than when he commenced walking, and will visit
bis friends at Kanaka Bar this week.
BULL AND BEAR FIGHT.-D. r. Short & Co.

July. 1t is new feature in mountain amusements

about 500 pounds, and is to battle wild Spanish
bull An enclosure has been erected on Mill
street, Faggtown, where citizens can have an op-
portunity of witnessing the fight for 50.
JUSTICES CouRT.-Robert Murray who was
4 hged in Jail last week, on the charge of incest,
was examined before Justice Murphy on Monday
last, and bound over in the sum of $500 to await
the action of the Grand jury in default of which
he is now in Jail. Judge Miller will probably call
an extra session of the Grand Jury as soon as he
returns from the State Convention.
BEAUTIFYING HIS HoME.-Mr. Chas. Sloan has
purchased the necessary pipe cement, ETC, for
erecting two fountains on his residence grounds
on the hill south of town. In year or two Mr.
Sloan will have beautiful place, having entirely
filled his yard with fruit, shade and ornamental
trees.

BoLT's DTGGINGs-The mining season has
sosed here the thirsty earth has swallowed the
last drop, leaving sluice boxes and toms high and
dry. The past season has been the best for sew

have yielded largely. The best paying claims
belong to Wrinkle & Lanver, Walker Il Co., J.
Monroe, Geo Brown, Ransom & Quick; other
names cannot remember.
