THE COUNTY.

Brisk times are reported at the Flats
above. Stages are arriving and departing
every few minutes. and competition in this
line makes it cheaper to ride than walk. A
gentleman who came down from Orleans, on
last Wednesday, tells US that on Sunday
night reyolyers were busy, and leaden mis-
siles were " sloshing around" too thick for
comfort. Two men named Long and Dom
ALLISON quarreled-the former attempted TO
draw a pistol from his coat pocket which
went off accidentally and shot man named
Coleman in the calf of the leg.
A saloon keeper, named John Mcguire,
got into difficulty with a man, named Jas.
Mckay. Mckay attempted to use a bottle
on Mcclure, when the latter drew pistol
and accidentally shot bystander named
Pat Roone, in the right side just below the
ribs. The wound is dangerous one, but
not necessarily mortal Mcclure gave him
self up to the officers, was examined and
discharged.
Last Wednesdays Democrat contains the
following items:
ADMITTED TO THE HospIrAL.-John Hart
SELL an overland immigrant, was admitted
into the County Hospital on Monday, having
been accidentally shot in the left hand while
on Humboldt river. The wound was Sc
we're one, and having been neglected for
some time, he will probably lose the use of
| his hand.
Frank Carter gave at his place ON Broad
street, a wrestling exhibition, open to all
competitors, and with suitable prizes for
the successful champions. Lured by the
rewards, or ambitious of the laurels, one
hundred and eight enterprisDg youths,
! flushed in hope, peeled for the saw dust last
Thursday, of which number one half incon-
tinently and ingloriously limped out with
nothing about them that looked like a lau-
rel, unless green expression in the corner
of the eye could be taken for this need of
success. Thus diminished by the fortunes
of war, on Monday there remained in the
arena but about one dozen aspirants for
broken collar-bones and gold watches, and
these about as unpromising specimens OF
| humanity as an ordinary man would care to
cope with Graduates from Cornwall, and
professors from Far Down, the mere sight
OF the Drawn and muscle rs they stripped
| for the struggle would induce man. of or
binary dimensions to pick soft place and
| lie down, rather than take the chance OF
such mass of bone and Drawn falling upon
| him.
The following are the names of the victors
and the prizes:
lst prize-Joseph Williams, gold watch
and chain $500
| 2nd-Wm. Kitto, cash loo
3rd-C. Roberts, cash 50
4th-JoS. Simmons, cash %
5th-Wm. Mathews, cash lG
Messrs. Eddy, Hicks and Birchfeld acted
as the committee in pairing the men, and
the result showed a very much increased in
terest in the contest by their judicious ac-
ton.

The following additional items are from,
the Journal:
We are sorry to state that Sam. Hervey,
expressman, was very ungratefully kicked
| by his mule, few days since, by which ac-
cident the good people of Little York, Dutch
Flat and other places in that direction, are
deprived of their mental pdbuium. To see
Sam. about the streets now might create a
suspicion that he had taken a hand in the
recent 'lympi'n games. The mule did it.
Commercial street is being planked near
Pine. 1t ought to be so served the entire
length.
