The captain Of the night watch, on New
York railroad, happening to be at the railroad de-
pot, was applied to by man named Harper, to
rescue his children from the custody of q man
who had kidnapped them under the pretence that
Harper owed him money, for which reason he had
seized the children. Capt Keiser went into the
cars asked the children If they wished to accom-
pany Harper, to which they replied that they did,
and that he was their father. ThereupOn the
officer delivered them to their father, in spite Of
the boisterOus threats of the abductor.
A few nights ago, after J. Harper and family,
Of the Temperance Hotel, OrtOn, had retired to
rest, they were much startled by something rustlng
among the bed-clOthes, and which after o while
bit Mrs. Harper's elbow. Mr.. Harper, alarmed
by his wiIe's cry Of pain, got up and procured
light to see what the strange visitor could be,
when to his surprise, it turned out to be large
hedgehog, which jumped of the bed and took re-
| fage under chest Of drawers. How the animal
got up stairs and into the room is mystery.

DID SENATOR BRoDEMoK LEAVE WLLi-
The general impression that Senator Broderck
left no will, It is thought by many will prove
erroneous. 1t appears that previous to bis
death, Mr.. Broderick deposited q tin box in the
banking house Of John Slime u Co. This box
was opened last Saturday, in presence of the
Probate Judge, Public Administrator, and 9TH
ers, but it contained no will as expected. The
following is an inventory Of the articles found
in the box: The fragments of the gold watch
which was worn by deceased at the time OF the
hostile meeting between him and Caleb Smith;
a rosary, composed of pink agate beads, which
probably belonged to the mother or some fe.
male relative of deceased; two heavy gold
watch chains, buckskin wallet, containing
gold specimens, aud several articles of jewelry.
No papers Of any kind we're found in the box
1t is now stated that Mark Brumagim has in his
possession another box deposited with him by
Mr.. Broderick. 1t is more than probable that
Mr.. Broderick left q will. He was particularly
careful in regard to business matters, and those
who knew him best deem it improbable that he
should have jeopardsed his life without making
some provisions for the disposal of his property
in case of his death.

The agent OF the San Francisco Cleaner, who
signs himself c., in communication to that
paper, takes occasion to make an uncalled for
fling at one of our citizens. On reading the
article referred to one would suppose that the
newspaper agent and correspondent had taken
advantage of his position to abuse man be-
cause he refused to subscribe for his paper, on
the regular black-mailing principle. 1t ap-
pears, however, that there is mutual and , u
standing dislike between Mr.. l.. aud Mr..
and the article was penned to crafty persoi
al pique. The course Of Mr.. c., would ha :.
been less reprehensble had he kept within the
bounds of truth for his statement is false in
almost every particular. The gentleman refer
red TO never professed to be an Italian, never
denied his religion or descent; aud in fact could
have had no cause to do either, for so fur as
standing and respeotability in this community
Is concerned, ID is q matter of no consequence
whether man Is Russian or Italian, Jew or
Gentle. In regard to the assertion that the
gentleman has rented pew Ia fashionable
church, It is sufficient to say that there are no
fashionable churches in Nevada, aud the church
es that are here have no rented pews. Mr.. c.,
In his psregrlnations to obtain subscribers for

AN IMPOSITION The Grass Valley NatiOnG
relates the story of professed teamster, who
presented himself at the Office Of Justice Rich
ardson, last Saturday morning and stated that
three men attempted to rob him the evening
previous just as he was leaving Nevada They
jumped from behind stump, one of them seiz.
cd him by the collar aud demanded his money
he instantly drew bis revolver, shot one of them
down, and discharged fve shots at the other
two as they fed. The National then stops the
press to say that one Of the robbers had been
found, severely wounded, and committed to Jail.
We called at the Sheriff's Office yesterday, and
ascertained that no robber had been committed
to the jail, and that the fellows story is an i'm
position from beginning to end.

SURG1oAL.-Drs. Ryer and Spotasi recently per-
formed surgical operation at Stockton, worthy oi
record. A man named John Magner, as we learn
from the Argus, had been kicked by a horse with
such forceas to fracture the skull, driving several
pieces into the brain. The pieces Of bone remained
mbedded in the brain for several days, and the man
was finally thrown into continuous convulsions'
The above named physicians being called upon
made an examination, and ascertaining the facts
proceeded to extract the pieces Of SKULL and in do
ing so, removed so much Of the injured portion OF
the brain that an egg placed in the hole would have
been fairly hidden from sight. AL this was done
without impairing the mans mind, and the bumps
there located by phrenologsts, and thus despoiled'
exhibited no lack of powers imputed to them by
those versed in that belief In auding to this and
another similar case, the Argus says:
We learn that the cutting off of portions OF the
brain or probing and drawing from 1t fragments OF
the skull that may be imbedded in it, is unfelt by
the patient. He feels only the cutting or drawing
back the skin of the head, while the slicing tne
brain is painless. The basin presents the appear
ance of dirty new cheese cuts like it, and such ope
ration upon the former is painless as 1t Is upon
the latter. The portion Of the brain injured or
stirred by fragment Of skull is incapable ofregain-
ing its first state 1t is spoiled material; and we
learn that it is considered bad practice to do other
wise than cut it off,

A SHOOTING AFFAIR.-The Puget Sound papers
contain an account of a shooting affair which re-
Gently took place at Olympia, Washington Territory
where certain Mr.. S. and Mr.. C.. had row
about the wife of the former. 1t appears that Mrs
s. wanted to buy sewing machine, but her lord and
master would not give her the necessary money to
pay for it. She therefore borrowed the amount from
Mr.. C. Thereupon Mr.. S. got jealous, armed him.
self with shot gun and sought out his supposed III
val. The latter armed himself with pistol. They
met in the highway, fired and both parties fell dead
apparently. Mr.. s., however, soon arose, went
to the authorities and delivered himselfup as mur-
derer. When he was gone Mr.. c., also arose, shook
himself and went home Instead of tragedy, the
affair turned out regular burlesque.

ONE MILLION MUsKETs WANTED4-Gen. Carl.
bsId the leader of the patriot forces of Italy
has appealed TO the Italians throughout the
world, and particularly to those residing in,tAe
United States, for material aid in the cause of
Italy, A subscription for the purchase of one
million of muskets has been initiated, and a
meeting of the Italians was held at San Fran.
cisco last Wednesday evening to faciliiaae.this,
object. A committee of Italians, elected at the
meeting, have issued an appeal in which they
say: a .i q
They bumbly solicit the cooperation aad
patronage Of the liberal press Of California, in
a cause so highly patriotic.
The war which now menaces Italy, divested
as it is from all foreign impulses, becomes .
war purely national. Therefore. whoever is
endowed with the sacred principles Of liberty
and knows hew to appreciate the freedom aud
independence of his own country, ought to con-
cur for the independence of q nation cursed
with the double bonds Of Austrian and Pspal
thraldom.
The despotsm of Europe wishing to lead us
back. through the horrors of the Inquistion, TO
the days of the middle ages, dare (profaning
the holy name of religion) to ordain crusade
against Italy, and to menace the laws chosen
by her people. 1t is, then, the duty of the pa
triots of all nations to oppose against the league
of the wicked, league OF freed men.
The subscribers, therefore, relying on the no.
Bile sentiments OF the Americans, doubt not that
they will answer this appeal, especially il you
will condescend to afford them your assistance
through your estimable paper.
Benjamin Davidson, Esq, banker and Consul
of His Majesty, the King Of Sardinia, has kindly
rendered his service, and will receive the money
through the agents of our Committee.

TEE CALIFORNIA PREss.-The Sacramento
Standard, of Monday, has some comments upon
the course pursued by what 1t terms the "oppo-
sltlon press" during the late political canvass,
and says Of them, "There was no fslsehood too
gross, no slandOr too vile, no Justification too
outrageous for them to circulate" This lam
guage would have been very appropriate, had
it referred to the Administration press, for q
moro vile, lying, scurrlous set of papers never
existed in any State of the Union, during the
present generation at least. The Standard was
not by any means the worst Of its party papers;
but among all the Opposition press" II would
not be possible to fnd one that stopped so low,
or resorted to as much scurrility, during the
late canvass, as even that paper. II Is not CIV
en- TO oil men to see themselves as others see
them, and we imagine the editor of the Standard
is one Of those to whom that gift is denied. He
sets up the administration press as standard
Of political courtesy The devil ineulcating
the precepts of morality to congregation Of
devout christians, would bo equally appropriate.

NEYApA. WEDNESDAY. DEC. u, 1889.
Tho Wagon Road.

A gentleman recently down from Eureka, In
forms us that the citizens of that township are
Subscribing literally to the stock for construct
ing wagon road to Washoe, and parties who
have taken an interest in the matter state that
ahundred and sfty or two hundred shares will
be taken in the two townships of Bloomfield and
Eureka. The other three hundred shares, or
three hundred and fifty as the case may be,
ought certainly to be subscribed in the town
ships Of Nevada and Grass Valley. The sub
seription book for Nevada township has been
left at the banking house Of Milford & Co., and
parties desirous Of improving the business fs-
cllities OF the town and county can assist in do
ing 90 by calling and putting down their names
for one or more shares. Probably enough
shares have already been taken to insure the
opening of the route, but IL the full amount Of
stock is taken the shareholders will not be call
ed upon for more than one-half or two-thirds
Of the amount.
Some weeks ago we stated THAT experienced
road makers, who had frequently Travelled over
and knew every foot of the route, offered to
construct good wagon road from Eureka to
Jackson's ranch for $4,000 We now learn
that responsible parties at Moore's Flat offer to
do the work for $4,000. The construction of
this portion Of the road will insure the opening
Of the route 80 that heavily loaded teams can
pass over 1t; but it is desirable that the road
should be improved at Dog Valley, and some
other points on the other side of the slope. But
as three different roads from this side intersect
at Jackson's ranch, the several companies can
join in making the necessary improvements on
the route beyond that point

Protection WANTED.-The Grass Valley Ma
OndI says the way things are going on, 1t will be
in short time, if it is not already, the duty of
the general government to station troops along
the borders of the slave States to protect them
from abolition filbusters. II is certainly tho
duty of the government 10 afford such prOtec-
tion il necessary and that such protection is
needed along the exposed fiontier Of Virginia,
is evident from the fact that seventeen ab0li-
tonists and five negroes were able to take, and
hold for two days, the town of Harper's Ferry,
containing some three thousand inhabitants
If the Virginians have 70 far degen Grated that
the State is In danger OF being conquered by
twenty or thirty men, they certainly require
the protecting arm Of the government. There
is no danger, however, of the border slave
States further west. The Kentuckians and Mis-
sourians are more sell-reliant; they have not
degeneratcd like the Virginians, and would be
abundantly able TO protect themselves against
dozen or more abolition 6libustcrs that might
happen to stray among them. One or two
companies of infantry will be amply sufficient
to drive back any band of outlaws that may
take II notion to surround and capture Virginia,
and the troops for that purpose can be spared
without increasing the regular army.

SUICIDE OF A PRIsoNER.-Robert Keenan,, con
fined in the Butte county Jail, charged with the mur
der of Burr, in August 1858, committed suicide OF
the evening of the 4th inst by hanging himself to a
bar of his cell door with his neck-handkerchief
Keenan, had been tried three times. On the first
trial the jury failed to agree the second trial result
ed in his conviction, but the Court granted him a
third trial, because it was ascertained that one Of
the jurors was not citizen which also resulted in
his conviction. He then appealed to the Supreme
Court, and that tribunal granted him fourth trial
which would have come up at the February term oi
the District Court.

and others from Nevada, arrived at the mouth of
Carson Canon on the 9TH inst, and complained of
being unwell. He was conveyed into house and
died in about an hour. A dispatch was received in
Nevada, from some of the men who accompanied
Dr. Hylton stating that he had frozen to death, but
the dispatches to the city papers assign no cause
for his death. The deceased was about forty years
of age, and leaves a wife and four children at Peta-
