probably laid four or five years III the red

ITS entire surface exhibited fine gold depos-

much rusted. ii is asserted by able anal vt

from all the earth and rocks found within
the gold belt. The future of California as

A Shocking Death

We learn by Mr.. Carron that Mrs Joseph
Boyd, of WaIrensville, was drowned yes
terday in a cistern, under the most heart
rcnding circumstances
The cistern was under the kitchen, and
access was had to it through pdOor,
the bottom Of the cistern being six feet
from the floor and only four feet of water
in it. No one was in the house but Mrs. d.
and her little child of three and half years,
who of course cannot explain tho rarticu-
lars of the mothers death. Mr.. =. was at
work on his farm. and saw his wife out of
doors about +. NJ. When her two other
children returned from school and found
their mother missing, they asked their lit
tie sister where she was. who told them
"she was in the cistern" that her mother
told her to bring her chair. and che did
80, but that her mother could not get out,
and wanted her to give her another chair,
which she did that her mother then want
ed her to kiss her.
The little girl ran around the house, but
not finding her mother, ran fer her father.
who came and found the body Of wife and
mother at the bottom of the cistern, n
corpse. The two chairs were also found
in the cistern, from which it is inferred that
she fell in, but did not at first drown, and
calling upon her little child for a chair, tried
with it to get out, but could not, and call
ed for second chair with no better result,
until becoming 80 chilled with the cold wa
ter, and fully apprehensive that she could
not long survive, she called her little child
to her to impart final kiss. and then, the
chill Of death approaching her vitals, she
sank from the chair into the water and died

From the n. Y. rribune.l

A curious case came before the
Supreme Court yesterday, which sheds
incidental light upon the matrimonial
brokerage business in this city. A suit
is brought by George G. Nellis az; inst
George Grouse and his wife $1,000
commission in getting husband for
the woman, which husband is the de-
fendant George. -Four years ago, Mrs.
Grouse was gay widow in search Of
a partner. She was in excellent health
of good bodily vigor, ample fortune,
and Of an amorous and aifectionate
disposition. She wanted husband,
and told Ncllis that if he would intro
ducc her to the proper man for such a
situation, she would pay him thou
sand dollars. Nellis accepted the
commission, and brought up John
Cummings, Of Conajoharie, in this
State. Cummings was on probaii IN
for while, but did not suit. Nellis
started for the country again, and sue
ccedcd in capturing military man,
known as MAJOR Freeman, all the way
from Saratoga county. Freeman had
long siege of courtship, but the twain
failed to uuitc, an ~ ccman is a free
man still.
Nclis made I'd essay, and
this time indud he defendant,
Grouse, a kinsman is own, nc
sdlll0 @iu )6ftV
widow smiled ur6n Grouse, snda year
ago the bargain was completed by
marriage. Kclis asserts that, by his
introduction Of Grouse, the widow got
the much desired husband, and that
she or they rightfully owe him $1,000
commission, rs promised but never
paid. The complaint is certainly a
strange one but the defence IS still
moro singular. The promise does not
appear to bc denied service il appa
rent, for there is the husband brought
in as proof but the cx-widows, coun-
sci argues that the claim il against
public policy, and that no such system
of brokcragc IS recognized in common
law, rs 1t is against good morals. The
case created considerable excitement
yesterday, and strenuous Efforts were
made to keep it ont of the newspapers
so we ought not say anything about it,
Judge Davies, before whom the case
was brought, has taken the papers, and
will give a lccision hereafter.
