DIsrRICr AGRICULTURAL SooIETY.-The pro-
ceedings of the meeting on Saturday night,
for the purpose of organizing District Ag-
ricultural, Horticultural and Mechanical So
ciety, we publish in another column. 1t will
be seen that a constitution was adopted by
sections, and the vote afterwards rescinded,
on account of palpable defects in the instru-
ment which had been hastily drawn, in order
to have new constitution drafted. This in
strument will be reported at the meeting
appointed for Wednesday evening, when the
complete organization of the Society will
probably be effected.
Much interest is manifested in this projected
orgagization, and we think it will amount to
something There is no necessity that there
should be any dissatisfaction with what is
done, for Everybody is invited to attend and
to partake in the proceedings. The organi-
cation is in the hands of the people and if
they do not form it according to their own
notions, it is their own fault. Every good
citizen ought to be present on Wednesday
evening, and then and there manifest due re
gard for his own Importance as member OF
an enterprising community as well as for the
general interests of the city or county in
which he lives.

MINING AROUND La PoRTE-We learn
from the Messenger of Saturday that water
is increasing in the bitches, and the miners
in that and nearly all the adjacent mining
towns are at work. At Warren Hill, the
miners have been working hard, for several
weeks past, to clear the cut, and their labors
are now about completed.
The Bright Star Company, at Howland
Flat, are taking out dirt about as fast as they
can wash it. Their yields, for twenty four
hours washing, are between seventy five and
hundred ounces. The Minnesota Company
are taking out dirt very fast, and of rich
ness not to be surpassed by any in this part
of the country-for twenty-four hours wash
ing the yield is about one hundred ounces
1t will be remembered that the two compa-
nies, the Bright Star and the Minnesota, work
their claims with thirty-horse power engines.
The Shirley Company are doing exceedingly
well.
At Pine Grove there are the Chisholm
Brothers, New Era, Oliver, Courtwright and
other companies working successfully on the
hose pipe mot gas) principle. The Empire,
Tip top, Pacific and several other tunnel com
panies are washing up dirt which they drift
ed out during the winter. They are getting
handsome yields

FITZPATRICK HUNG IN EFFIGY.-The Pine
Grove correspondent of the Mountain Mes
senger, writing on the 22d of April. says:
Our little town was thrown into great ex-
citement this morning, on seeing a man, or
the shape of one. stretched by the neck to
the top of the liberty pole. Early this morn
ing you could see persons running to the lib
erty pole to see who the unfortunate man
was and who it was that had been guilty of
such a crime as to require hanging at the
hands of a mob. Some said it was a person
that had been caught robbing sluices, and
that he was executed for the crime, while
others said he must be murderer. On ex-
aminng the body more closely, and from the
noticean papers which were found on the
person, they found out who the unfortunate e
man was: it was that individual, Moses Kirk.
patrick, who figured so largely last winter,
in opposition to The creation of the new
county. lie was hung in effigy this morning
and was suspended by the neck until absut 2
o'clock P NJ.
Some one dispatched a messenger. early
this morning to St Louis for the Coroner. to
have him come up Immediately and hold an
inquest on the said body and in about one
hour the officer arrived in town and on look
ing up TO the liberty pole he saw the BODY
suspended about one hundred feet high. He
soon found out he was badly sold, and the
cheapest way to get out of it, was to treat to
the lager.

DECREASE IN THE PRIcE OF STocK.-We are
informed by the Sonoma County Journal
that within the past few weeks, stock of all
kinds has taken a rapid downward tendency
in that county. The Journal says;
This is more particularly the case with
cows and calves Cows that readily com.
manded from $40 to $50 twelve months since
we are told are now drug in the market al
$40 to $50. AT public sales they range a:
low as $50 even. Good beeves, however
command fair figure. We are inclined to
the opinion that this deprecated value in
stock is mainly attributable to very gen.
orally entertained fear that the hay crop will
be so light the present season, and the feed
so short, that unless we have an unusually
early winter next season, stock must die by
scorces

RIVAL BELL RNGERs-Aaron and George
are two well known Ethiopian bell ringer;
and criers in this city. Each is naturally
jealous of the other, and whenever they come
in contact quite contention of voice and

ing for a sale of jewelry and the other for a
sale of dry goods Georges glibness of tongue
served him well, but Aaron's stentorian voice
served him better The thing was beeomin G

ed, was kicked up in the Washington Hotel,
on c street, between Second and Third. The

respectable woman, was in bed up stairs

of drunken men, and went down to see what
was the matter. Arriving in the dining
room one of the men in the bar-room, named
Bully shannon, rushed in and, seizing her by
the arm. attempted to pull her out on the

ry loudly and Shannon and his crowd precip'
itately retreated Yesterday morning, she

the Sierra Democrat, and was precipitated
down to the bottom of an old drift, partly
filled with mud and water. The earth closed
down rapidly on him, and heavy head OF
water was pouring down. His partners had
the presence of mind to shut off the water,
and commenced at once to dig him out He
was completely buried for some minutes in
the slush of the drift, and when they reached
him was insensible. He recovered his breath,
and is now going about in his usual health,
having no apparent injury except few cuts
from the shovels used in digging down to

QUARTZ Mills IN SIERRA CoUNTY.-The
Sierra Citizen of Saturday contains the fol-
lowing intelligence in regard to quartz mills
in that region.
The Gold Bluff Quartz Company, after
four weeks run, cleaned up this week about
forty.fve hundred dollars. The yields here
after will undoubtedly be greater, as this is
the first time of cleaning up after starting
the machinery, which was still through the
winter on account of frost.
The quartz mills at the Buttes have been
running for two weeks Everything is work
ing well at these mills, but there has been
no cleaning up this spring. There is never
any doubt about the yields from the quartz
of the Buttes lode.
The Primrose Company have been crush
ing for nearly two weeks. This company
have not cleaned up since the commence
ment of the present season their lode, how.
ever, is known to be rich.
Wheelers Downieville mill has been in
operation for several months, and many are
disposed to give the proprietor credit for
making great amount of money.

MEETING AT CoLUMBIA-We learn from
the News, that recently two thousand miners,

elected to raise $780, 900 to pay off the de-
mands of certain mortgages who threaten
to sell the ditch unless they are paid, or some
satisfactory arrangement is made with them.

BRoUGHT UP WITH ROUND TURN. Quite
a little circumstance happened in this city,
on Friday night. A married lady, Of tolera
bly, good appearance, has been boarding for
some time at one of our principal hotels, her
husband being a sort of business man in the
mountains 1t seems that she fell in, a few
days ago, with passably good looking fel
low who keeps a bar somewhere in the city,
and became on toerably friendly terms with
him at once. Their liking grew into affec-
ton, and, on the night in question, the two
started off for the purpose of loving tste a
tete under the friendly shelter Of some trees
out on the plains. Directly after they start
ed. the husband arrived and flew to what be
supposed would be the delightful embraces
of his wife. She was gone Enquiring for
her, he found that she had just gone out with
the Adonis above mentioned. Burning with
jealous impatienee, he rushed forth into the
streets, and traversed them to and fro. As
luck would have it, he came across the OBJ
jects of his search, His loving wife and new
found partner, locked arm in arm. were has.
tening to the appointed place on the plains.
In the light of the gas lamps, he recognized
them and rushed forward. He himself was
recognized as well. The wife gave a sudden
scream and the Adonis vanished. Explana
tions ensued, but the husband refused to be
satisfied, despite the protestations of his Low
ing spouse. Finally the wife herself became
angry, and, at this turn of affairs, the hus-
band became Modified But the wife by this
time got her dander up" and refused to
"make up" at all. Enraged beyond measure,
she started to look for her Adonis, the expos
tulatng husband following, and, the last that
was seen of them, they were not whit near
er reconciliation. How it terminated we
know not. And thus ends the story.
