passive resistance has been contemplated and
beyond a doubt could be executed. This
should be avoided, as it is only by concentra-
ton of force and unity of labor that a cre-
vase can ever be closed and the concent:a-
ton can only take place by granting to one
officer the control Of the whole matter, who
should be compelled by express provision of
law toca)1 out hands in proportion to the total
number of the proprietor without fear or favor;
to regulate their working; to demand labo,
from all the wards of the parish, and not
compel one or two to bear the whole burden
Of closing a crevasse.
By having the Parish. 'Inspectorship, we
would have an officer responsible for his acts
on his bond, who could make himself ac-
quainted with the law, from the reason that
it would be his business, and would avoid

greatly consult their own interests by pat

tools which are not likely to prove of NJ

nA. A serious fire occurred at Indianap-
oils on Thursday. A large planning mill,
together with some $4,000 or $4,000 worth
of lumber, was entirely consumed. The
mill and lumber were the property of Mr..
Hill, who estimates his loss at fully So, 900.
The fremen had great difficulty in saving
the surrounding property. The papers of
that city express much regret at not having
a steam engine. The Atlas says Evansville
has set their city an example, which should
not be overlooked. We trust it may be "a
long time before the services of our new
engine will be brought into requisition, but
that time will have to come before we are
entirely satisfied as to the advantages of a
steam fire engine in small place. Were
we to guess as to the cause of the great de-
struction of property at the fire above men
toned, we shonld say it was because the fire
company in whose neighborhood it occurred
was not in service with their engine.

delegation at Charleston, to Buchanan, in

HB The Cincinnati Gazette gives an ac-
count Of the wife of an engineer in St.
Louis, who awoke on Tuesday morning last
in her usual good health and cheerfulness.
Suddenly she was seen faltering in her gait,
and presently to fall on the floor in a half
reclining position. She gasped for breath
once or twice and was a corpse. A post
norton examination, by DR.. Chas. Spinzig,
revealed most rare lesion; it was a rent
in the heart, which allowed the blood con-
tanned in that organ to accumulate in the
sac which invests the heart, and this also
was ruptured. She had, in a physical
sense of the word, died heart-broken-an
expression only true physiologically, for she
was greatly beloved by her husband and
they lived very happily together.

A NOTORIOUS RowDY IN LINBo.-A well
known ruffian yclept, "Bufalo Bill, made
three desperate assaults on a man named
Marshall, on Friday night last. Marshall
laid his information before Justice Mcbride,
and warrant was placed in the hands of
James B. Evans, of the special police. Mr..
Evans proceeded to the den of Pat. Hughes,

while making the arrest, one of Bills CO.
vey's made threat, but being convinced by
word from the officer that discretion was
the better part Of .yalor, he lowered his
crest, aud made no farther demonstrations.
The vagrant being too drunk for trial, was
committed to the lookup, to sober of, and
on Saturday morning was brought before
the magistrate. At the Office, he became
very unruly, and made an attempt 10 es-
cape; and in so doing, jumped out of the
frying pan into the fire. Officers Hull &
Sherwood intercepted his flight, and Buf-
falo Bilr' was mulcted in the sum of $40
and cost for his trial. Bill not having YET
recovered from the late financial panic, found
himself hard up, and, sEQUrrUR, will repose
in limbo for thirty days.

ATTEMPTED SUIcDE-A young woman Of
the.town, named Francis Brady, residing on
Maiden Lane, took morphine on Thursday
night, and came ear dying. She took the
stuff at about I o'clock, and lay till half-past
10 before a physician was sent for. Dr.
Gray arrived at about that time and proceed
ed to empty her stomach with pump and
to apply other remedies. By considerable
exertion she was saved, and is now doing
well. 1t appears that she had fallen in love
AS these Cyprians sometimes do-with one
of her accustomed visitors, who had tired Of
her and ceased his visits. On this account
she resolved to kill herself
Francis Brady has not been very long en-
gagged in the life she is now leading She
has mother and step father living in Saera-
mento, who are not aware of her late and
probably to be continued mode of making n
living She represents to them, after her
usual periods of absence, that she has been
up country at work. Her parents are quite
respectable. She was married year or so
ago to a man whose name we shall not men
tion, and whom We believe the old folks
forced her to marry. They did not agree,
and she left him in the course of few weeks.
Ever since that time she has manifested al

to us that he did whatever he did do in the

matter.
The last cell we visited was occupied by
Harrison Van Alsten, a young man, about
81 years of age, light completed, light hair,
light eyes, q rather reckless look, and medium
size and height. He is a pleasant, good
natured fellow rather intelligent, loves to
read has tolerabiy gentlemanly bearing,
but wears an expression and general de-
meanor which indicate that he does not very
greatly feel the weight of his responsibility
as a free moral agent before God. 1t will
be recollected that he hired a buggy and
two horses from o. Fuller of this place, pre-
tending to be going to La Porte where he
had been residing, but actually drove off
down into Solano county, where he was ar
rested. When overteken by an officer and
the owner of the outfit, and asked where he
was going, he replied very coolly that he was
on his way to La Porte via Petaluma!

Just back of Van Alsteins. Leandro is a
young Mexican, with a stupid, insane look
who has been arrested for shooting at a
Spanish woman a short time ago.
